SHIELDING GUILTY
IS HIT BY SEABURy
Tells Law Institute Attorneys
Should Not Protect Dis
honest Officials.

No "So-called lawyer" should be al
lowed to shield a dishonest public off,
cial by invoking the plea of professional
privilege between attorney and client
Samuel Seabury, who for some time has
been conducting an inquiry into tht
government of New York City, told the
! American Law Institute last night in
! the Mayf1ower Hotel.
The institute adjourned its tenth
annual meeting after listening to Mr.
| Seabury's address and talks by Joseph
| c. HutcheSon, jr, of Houston, Tex.
| judge of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals, ard DR.. G. j. Lang
dean of the division of humanities
i University of Chicago.
Mr.. Seabury made several references
to the 'sickening corruption which
characterizes the government OF New
York City"
! Charges Political Pull.
In urging that the power of appoint
! merit OF city magistrates be taken away
| from the mayor and given to the JUS
| tices Of the appellate division, he said
These inferior courts, by reason OF
| political influences governing the Sc
lection of judges and interfering with
their processes, have been reduced to
low state. Political pull and favor
often reign in them The whole sys
tenn of the administration of justice in
| these courts has completely broken
| down by reason of the control the
dominant political organization exerts
over them"
He made the following four specific
recommendations
l. That the city magistrates be ap-
pointed by the judges of the appellate
division.
2. That the legal privilege against
Standardization be modified SO in
vestigators can inquire into the pr1-
vate lives and acts of public officials.
Judge Hutcheson Elected.
8. That all contracts for public works
should contain an explicit waiver OF the
privilege against Standardization in
any proceeding involving the contract
in order to facilitate the discovery OF
bribery.
a. That lawyers right to refuse to
disclose communications between him
self and his client be modified SO that
III oil dll dICOIucy OcdLllSs Will PuDAIN
officials or political organizations OF
their leaders in relation to public con-
cessions, public contracts or favors
there should be no privilege against full
disclosure of the facts. He explained
this recommendation was not aimed at
condolences between attorneys and pri-
vate clients.
Judge Hutcheson was elected by the
institute to its council to fill the va
cancy left by the resignation of Judge
Charles G. Mott, jr.. of the Court OF
General Sessions, New York City.

and approximately $500, 900 In street and
highway improvements. In connection
With the highway items, the House re-
duced the gasoline tax fund expendi-
lures by S288, 900. thereby leaving this
amount idle since it cannot, under the
law, be spent for other purposes. This
reduction removed 13 proposed improve
ments from the 1888 highway program.
The Highway Department also was
denied an appropriation for the widen
ing and repaving of Constitution ave
nue. from North Capitol to Sixth street,
project in the program of converting
Constitution avenue into a monumental
boulevard from the Capitol % the Ar
hngton Memorial Bridge. Ths first link
in this program, the widening of Con-
stitution avenue from Fourteenth street
to Virginia avenue, was completed last
year.
Traffic Lights Estimates Cut.
The House also reduced estimates for
the purchase Of traffic lights by $50, 600,
disallowed funds for using private au-
tomobiles in official work, reduced the
fund for the purchase and maintenance
Of official motor vehicles by S54,416 and
cut 100000 from the estimates of the
Once Of Public Buildings and Public
"a Ao Va tAAC ANdbAOAldl SdNAIdl IIlC
improvement and care of parks. Other
drastic reductions included $50 900 for
the extension of water mains, $120 900
for Improvements In the sewerage sys-
tenn, $4,000 for street lighting and
$500 for construction OF a new fire
house in the vicinity OF 14th street and
Rhode Island avenue northeast. Public
school items also we're cut from the
Budget Bureaus total Of $l2,53O,s15 to
$11 .939. .S08.
In other words, the reductions to a
large extent were in items involving
capital expenditures out Of which come
improvements. AS result of the cuts,
the capital appropriations for 1888. on
the basis of the House biz, will be lower
than they have been since 1880.
An analysis OF the appropriation acts
since 1880 shows the amounts for capt
tai expenditures varied as follows:
1930-s1l ,959 900.
1931-Sl4 482 900
1932-sl2 ,S37 900.
1887, 92l 900.
The 1888 budget as 1t went to the
House called for SO $50 900 in Capital
appropriations; the reductions in these
items therefore amounted to 81 829, 900.

the House was not based on demands
for local economy, but was to transfer
from the Federal Government to the
District government 100000 of the
amount the United States has been
contributing toward the support of its
Capital. The taxpayer gained nothing
by the budget reduction, but instead
was threatened with higher taxes-a
procedure entirely out of harmony with
budget-cutting economies in other
municipalities, where budgets have been
cut In order to reduce taxes.
The 1888 budget when it went to
the House IN December was not padded
or fllled with items which the Com
missioners did not regard as urgent.
1t was strictly an economy budget, re-
duced by economic necessity to q mini
mum, and one which the District could
support on estimated revenues in 1898.
The Commissioners had predicated it
On S9,500,000 Federal contribution
and continuance Of the existing $1.70
tax rate.
Careful Pruning Shown.
The fact that the Commissioners had
carefully pruned estimates before send
ing them to the Budget Bureau is
shown in the differences between
the appropriation requests of the
department heads and the total
OF their own budget. The depart
ment heads had asked for appro-
priations amounting to $57 5000.
and the Commissioners reduced
this figure to s47,ss1,sls. In the
interest Of further economy, the
Budget Bureau trimmed off S3,245, 900,
and sent to Congress estimates totaling
s44,0S69l9. The figure Of $39,913,8IO,
approved by the House. Is therefore,
Sl7,500,000 less than the amount the
apartment heads estimated as neces-
sary in 1888. and s7,4l8,l09 under the
balanced economy budget" estimates
Of the Commissioners.
While it Is obvious that the reduc-
ttons made by the House primarily were
to absorb the S3,0O0,0O0 cut in the
Federal contribution, the House Ap-
propriations Committee in reporting the
appropriation bill, made this comment !:
Having in mind the necessity for
reduced expenditures, the committee
has eliminated new items wherever pos
Sible and has also denied the estab-
lishment Of new positions except in
cases OF the utmost urgency. Particu-
lar consideration has been given to
proposed items for new construction,
and in most cases the committee has
found 1t possible to postpone such prof.
ects without seriously interfering with
the welfare and needs of the District.
The committee has also taken into con-
sideration the reduced cost of food,
clothing, supplies and equipment AND
has made a general reduction in ap-
preparations for such purposes through
out the bill''
