Probers Cost More Than
They SAGE, Board Finds
Business Men's Committee
Calls Legal Inquiries More
E1pensiue Than Valuable

A committee, appointed by the
Business Mems League to inquire into
reasons for increasing governmental
expenses and particularly into the cost
and value of special investigating
committees, made preliminary re-
port last night, in which it was said
that legislative investigating commit
tees had a record which made them ap-
pear to be more expensive than
valuable.
After discussing the work of the
Brown legislative committee, which
had appropriations of $4,000, the re-
port has this to say of the joint cont
mittee now at work, of which State
Senator Schuyler M. Meyer is chair
man:
$4,000 Already Spent
at may be worth noting that the
Meyer committed, which contains a
number of upstate lawmakers in addi-
ton to its upstate counsel and other
employees from outside this city
starts off with an appropriation of
double that allowed to the Brown COM
mittee. 1t already has expended more
than $4,000, without including counsel
fees, and it's results TO date seem to be
lrst as productive as its predecessor
committee, namely, nothing"
1T is said in the eport that emer-
gencies sometimes may require special
investigating bodies, but for ordinary
purposes Offices of the Administrative
machinery should suffice. The ecord
OF investigating committees leads the
Investigators Investigators to believe
that too often they are appointed for
poiitical reasons and regarded as
Jnhketings by their members.
When the extraordinary powers of
the state are used,' it is said, "for
investigations of inconsequental mat
ters or for partisan advantage, and the
funds of the state are frittered away
In order to give holiday at public
expense to officials of high or low de-
gree, the government that encourages
this fashion is brought into disrepute
the powers of the state are unwarrant-
ably abused and public confidence is
alienated. The abuse of this power

MR. KLAw ON THEATRE BILL.

Marc Klaw, who was an attornew

Legislature to prevent the stransing OF

manager TO give a s25e bond for each
actor In his company. states that II Ia
his opinion that this bill would be de-
clared unconstitutional He says.
This bill discriminates against the
theatre On the same reasoning every
firm sending a travelling representative

Tho theatre is public utility only In
so far as It's relation to the safety, health
and morals OF the community is con-
cerned."
Mr.. Elaw declared earlier that tho
