any one who appears az Albany TO pre-
sent his views on legislation Is a crook.
and I Is past my understanding how
he can mislead the public to even think
that the Legislature should act on his
suggestions and refuse to hear thc1e
Of different ideas ana opinions. II no
knows of any crooked work I'm regard
10 these proposals he owes a duty to the
public 70 prove his assertions.
IL know ~ no moro dangerous man IN
our public life to-day than the one who
attempts 70 coerce action by public Of
flcials hy means or statements that
there are secret influences at work TO
prevent such actions. Personally 1 re-
fuse 10 yield - any such urwarranted
falsehoods about the action or the AS
sembly IN this case.
The Legislature acted favorably
upon all tho proposals affecting the
housing or rent laws in this state. and
In the ten DAYS given 10 study the pro-
posals passed every bill which viii do
anything to Immediately relieve the sit
uation ir housing, particularly in this
city. only refusing action Oh those meas
ures which dealt with matters indirectly.
IL at all, related TO the subject, and |
am sure that careful survey of the
situation will lead thinking people TO the
conclusion that the Assembly adopted
the proper course in refusing to pass
legislation simply because Mr.. Inter
myer said Il should be done"

legislation to be proposed should be In
troduced at as early date as possible
in order that the standing committees
In the Assembly could provide Tor pup
lie hearings and take action on the legis-
iation before the closing days or the
session.
Il repeatedly called the attention of
the chairman OF the committee 10 the
fact that the report of the committee
and the legislation were not forthcoming
and was always informed that Mr.. I'm
termyer had fun charge OF the prepara-
tion of the report and the legislation,
and that he was still working on
them at his winter homo In Florida
Consequently these bills, eighteen In
number, were not introduced IN the
Legislature until March /. and as was
well known the standing committees
went out of existence on March Z, al
most as soon as the bills could be
printed and placed on the files OF the
members
MANY of these bills dealt with highly
technical questions Which could not be
understood without very careful study,
and for this reason the Assembly was
inclined to be careful believing that
under such circumstances IL was better
10 delay action than to enact measures
Of far reaching effect which they dld
not understand. The best proof OF their
wisdom is the fact that all the time
Mr. Untermyer was in Albany he was
constantly writing amendments TO his
own proposals. While the Assembly did
not agree with some Of his proposals. as
a matter Of principle-as. for instance.
the question of compulsory investments
there were others about which they
were in doubt, as, for instance. the
measure providing for a trade oommis-
sion.

The New York herald., 1922-03-20
Calls Lobby Charge Untrue.


y cannot condemn too strongly the
unwarranted and malicious statements
Of Mr. Untermyer about the activities
OF lobby at Albany against this bill
and the one providing for supervision
OF insurance rates by the State Super
,ntendent Of Insurance. His charge that
this latter bill was emascuated at the
behest OF 4 lobby in the last hour of
the session is an absolute untruth.
THE changes were made only after a
conference with Gov. Miller and Senator
Lockwood and all agreed to the
changes, which only made the law con-
form to the established practice of the
reasonableness Of fire insurance pre-
miums which is followed in the entire
nation, and here let me say that Mr.
Untermyer we'll knows that no changes
were made in any Of the Lockwood bills
without consultation and agreement
with the chairman of the committee,
Senator Lockwood. who in most in
stances proposed tho changes himself
and in every instance agreed to what
ever changes were made.
''rhe defeat of Mr. Untermyer's pro-
posal for the establishment of a trade
commission was entirely due to tho fact
that tho members did not have an OPP
poIluIlly U STUDY ana understand lLS
provisions. This was a new and very
important piece of legislation and the
Assembly was asked in the last hours
of the session to act on this proposal
in amended form, which action, In my
opinion. they very properly refused.
"The maliciousness of Mr.. Inter
myers statement is most apparent ia
his charges about Assemblyman Me
Whitney. The printed report OF this
committee. prepared by Mr.. Untermyer
contains a notation signed by Mr.. Me-
Whitney in which he dissents from this
proposal, and here let me ask how long
has 1t been since men in our country
have not had the right to have different
views on public questions without being
charged with base or malicious motives /?
Denies Untcrmyer Charges.
Personally, / want to publicly state
that just as long as | am Speaker OF the
Assembly / shall refuse to act on legis-
lation dictated by any one man without
giving others the right to present their
views. and l want to say to Mr. Inter
