RADICAL IDEAS OF THE SPEAKERS One of Them Krieoiirnnes the l'c of Tree Itnllrond I'nssea tiy .Indues Perjury Conies In for .Some Close Mtidy. Despite the sweltering heat which mado coats a burden and fans a necessity, close upon 100 lawyers from all parts of Iowa gathered In Dohany opera house, Council Muffs. Tuesday morning for the opening session of tho onnual meeting of the Iowa Staie liar association. There were num bers of new arrivals during the day and tho attendance at tho afternoon session was somewhat larger than at tho morning, although several of tho younger members forsook tho meeting for the regatta at Lake Manawa, where the atmosphere was moro Inviting than that of tho opera house. Tho mooting was called to order by Pres ident J. J. .McCarthy of Dubuque. He In troduced llev. Father Smyth of St. Francis Xavler's church, who asked divine bless ing on the gathering. Flnley Burke, pres ident of the local bar association, bade tho visitors welcome. Colonel Davenport, on behalf of the Elks, tendered the visit ing lawyers the freedom anil hospitality of tho lodge's new handsome clubhouse. L. M. Kean of Sioux City responded to the address of welcome. Two papers were on tho program for tho morning session "The Law Reformer," by Charles A. Clark of Cedar Rapids, and "What Salary Should Our Supremo and District Judges Receive?" by J. C. Mabry of Albla. Mr. Clark was unable to be present and his paper was read for him by Judgo Klnno of the State Hoard of Con trol. Itadlrul Notion Cnnar Comment. Some of the thoughts contained In Mr. Clark's paper excited considerable com ment, being considered somewhat radical. Among other things ho said: After tho nbolltlon of slavery tho law reformer took It In hand and ho mado a sad mess of It. It was clearly requisite that the prohibition of slavery should bo crystallized Into a constitutional provision and this was well done, lleyond this, dis regarding the teachings and solomn warn ings of Lincoln, the law reformer attempted to iirm the most lenornnt blnck with tho right of suffrage and thus fasten negro government upon a large part of our com mon country. To this end the nutlonal constitution wna amended and tho newly freed slave was apparently Intrenched In his right to rule over his late master, ns well as his late deliverer, many of whom ff.ll under hliick domination after lighting under tho union llag. A generation of woes and miseries in tne souin nnu oi msuiro ances north nnd south followed. Whether caused by this attempted law reform or not the Insidious taint of wholesale cor ruption In elections at tho north was coin cident with the wholesale taint of fraud, corruption nnd violence which attended elections at the south during this un happy period. in' snlto of what was so carefully cn ernfted unon the federal constitution tho Ignorant black are now largely disfran chised, as i tor one neiieve iney ougnc 10 be, nnd I am-only sorry that tho thousands of besotted voters In the north who sell their votes are not disfranchised with tho negro. The attempted so-called reform has not only been abortlvo, but It Jiiih deprived the really moral, Intelligent and deserving blacks of the suffrage which would bo theirs If the teachings of Lincoln had been followed. Let us reserve our Indignation at tho evasion of this constitutional re form In the south and see If wo cannot find use for it nearer home. Think .luUnen May. line I'nsscs. Lawyer Mabry showed clearly that he was In favor of having the salaries of tho supremo and district, court Judges In creased and ho also saw no harm In them accepting transportation from the railroad companies. Portions of his paper appeared to startle some of tho lawyers, especially the part referring to Judges using passes. After explaining that the constitution pro hibits tho raising or lowering of salaries during term of office, Mabry said: Fix a time, four years henco at which nil district Judges' salaries shall be raised to M.OOO and until then grant some little relief by allowing thoso who spend most of their time away from homo 11,000 per year for expenses and those who do not have to leave homo or to bo on exponso out of their own county enn stand It for that short pe riod of time. Ilequlro the supreme Judges to remove to tho capital city and allow each of them $2,000 a year to pay house rent nnd Increased expenses on nccount of their leaving their own homes until salaries can be constitutionally changed. Fix a time six years hence when nil supreme.court salaries shall no raised $2,000. and discontinue the expense allowance, but an a part of the Im mediate relief furnish each one a flrst-class stenographer as a prlvnte secretary on a salary of $1,000 a yenr. Comparing tho salaries received by the Judges with persons In other walks of llfo ho said: There Is many a fnrmer In Iowa living on forty or eighty .acres ot land who rounds up at tho end of each year with moro net cash to the credit side of his nccount than tho average district Judgo In Iowa and he works no harder nnd lives Just as comfor- taoiy, inero is scarcely n county in tne ntnto In which the sheriff does not come out nt tho end of the year with more money as the proceeds of his compensation than me avcrnge supremo judge ot mo state after paying for his living expenses. And there are captains of foot ball and baso ball teams and the grooms and drivers of fast horses and the engineers npd conductors of railroad trains and the nldermen of soma of our larger cities who, ns a result of a year's work, could exhibit net cash balances that would causo the average Judge of our district court to turn green' with Jealousy. Use of Kree Trnnniiortatloii. Regarding Judges using railroad passes bo said. I do not know to what extent the custom prevails of railroad companies fur nishing Judges with transportation, or whether nt all or not, but be this as It may, since I havo devoted some study to tho con dltlons that surround them, 1 have fully de elded on my own part that as long they pay nil tho other legltlmutc expenses to which they are subjected, maintain their families, clotho and educate their children, keep up an appearance, of respectability, contribute to the various charitable and ed ucational causes and institutions and to the yearly campaign fund of their party all out of a salary of $2,5) a year for district Judges and $4,000 n year for supremo Judges to forever waive all objection" to their acceptance of such a courtesy If It comes their way. Not only so. but If soma charl. tably disposed farmer should donato a load of wood or a side of hacou. n sack of pota toes or a barrel of apples 1, should urge no objection to such a display of generosity under oxlstlng circumstances, It has been my lot for come years to be connected with litigation to some extent, but I have never found a railroad Judge yrt. If It be true that some of our Judges sometimes nccept tho courtesy of n little transportation and if there bo any Implied understanding thnt on the principle of reciprocity there will be a moiety ami favor toward tho donor, then I suggest that railroad companies in Iowa havo many causes of action (or breaches of trust. The report of Secretary Wright of Tip ton, referred briefly to the distribution of the reports of the previous meeting and showed that of the 2,600 attorneys In the state, 600 had been enrolled In the state association. The report of Treasurer Henry of Des Moines showed that total receipts for the year had been- $1,529.27 and the disbursements $1,031.99, leaving, a1 balanco of $497.28 on hand. At tho opening of 'the afternoon session Tresldeut McCarthy delivered his address on "Perjury In Judicial Proceedings," which evoked much commendation. He said: ' Keeping In mind the purposes of our organization, as expressed In the constitu tion, and considering It part of my jiuti. I have chosen us my thorn" nvj shi" limn what I may have to, ba; I ;l' 0 subjtct of "Perjury In -. 1;'?,e. Ings," After rending the a-nerM Iter ati ire upon the subject, exchanging letters witn many lawyers, Judges and other prominent citizens In lown and other states, nn 1 adding my own feeble conception, to ity that f am surprised and astounded is put ting It mildly. From every voice nnd from every pen, with scarcely a single exception, comes the sli.rtllng and gloomy admission that perjury Is common In our courts, that It Is committed In many petty und many Important lawsuits, that It Is found In the grand Jury room, In the trial court and before Innumerable trlbuna.s, that the sanctity of nn oath Is fast losing If .indent nnd sacred meaning and that tne baleful nnd vicious tendency of forswearing apppurs to be Increasing. , What one of us but has seen the rights of persons nnd of property sacrificed and trampled under foot presumably under due form of law, but really nnd truly by tho use of corrupt, false nnd sometimes pur chased testimony? Where Is the lawyer who has not seen thu guilty criminal pass out of the court room acquitted and set free because of perjured testimony? These are the things that beget distrust nnd dis respect for the courts and for verdicts nnd for our boasted forms of law. These are the things that produce nnarchy, lynch ng nnd Invite the Just contempt ns well as a lack of confidence In tho courts, One Judge of long expel lenco upon the bench writes me thnt In his opinion nbout orie-hnlt ot all tho evidence received on behalf of the defense In criminal cases Is false. Another of equally high repute writes that he be lieves 75 per cent of the evidence offered In contested divorce cases approaches de liberate perjury. Another writes thnt per jury In personal Injury suits Is surprisingly frequent, Others write that perjury i committed In n majority of Important Inw sults and that the crime seems to bo In creasing, Where Illume Is Placed. Some place the blame for tho prevalence of perjury upon the skeptical, free-thinking spirit of the times, Some censure the courts for the careless, lllppant, meaning less and Indifferent manner In which oaths are permitted to be administered, Others severely censuie the county attorney and grand Jury for their Indifference or appar ent Incapacity or Incompetency to effec tually and properly Indict and prosecute thoso guilty of the crime, Others say the law Is defective, because ot the dilatory, expensive and techntcnl dlfllcultlcs In prov ing the crime to the satisfaction of n trial Jury beyond a reasonable doubt. Illnme Is ulso laid at the door of a class of dis reputable attorneys to be found In many communities, who advise or encourngu or nt least condone perjury. Others say It is because of tho lack of fear of prosecution nnd punishment for the crime. The ln lluenco of the ward caucus upon public olllclats who are required to enforce tho crlmlnul laws of the state Is credited with having much to do with the subject. The grasping and commercializing spirit of the age where ovcry man's standard seems to bo measured by tht amount of money ho has accumulated might well be udded to tho catalogue. It Is doubtless true that all these and other causes combine to create the evil complained of. It Is true that most men nre truthful because they llnd It to their Interest to be so. It Is nlso true that there are many who will be no moro truthful when swvirn thnn when not. While In neither of these cases tho oath can do any harm save by teaching u doublo standard of truth, yet there are a large number of persons who when sworn tell tho truth ns they could In no other mnnnnr be Induced to do. For thl3 reason, us well as for the reason that to anoiisii tno oath would be too radical a step to take at one time, 1 believe wc are not ready for the abolition of nil oaths. Perjury n Common Crime, Hy Kenernl consent It seems to be nd- mltted thnt perjury Is the commonest of crimes and yet the least punished. It Is on account of this want of social odium that wo find perjury committed among such social rank as that of the witness In the IJeecher Tllton ca-jo In America, tho Mordaunt case In Knglnnd and tho Dreyfus caso In France. It Is for this samo'" reason that rcputablo men lie to a court to evado Jury services and then .complain, of bad verdicts; He to n customs house officer to cheat tho government which protects them and then complain of perjury in the "courts." ' ' After reciting statistics td show tho' small number of pcrcons confined In state or ter ritorial prisons for tho crime of perjury, Mr. McCarthy said: I would suggest that a law should be enacted not only giving tho trial court power, but which would make, it his duty, whero ho has reason to believe a witness has committed perjury before him, to com pel the witness to cxecuto a bond to appear befor.o tho grand Jury on the churgo of perjury, nnd require other persons who had an opportunity to see and know the por Jury to enter Into a llko undertaking; that they will appear before the grand Jury ua witnesses ns well ns before the trial Jury If an Indictment Is found. 1 would also make It the duty of tho trial court to re quire any attorney to enter Into a llko un dertaking, where It becomes apparent tho nttorney has been guilty of subornation, or attempted subornation of per jury. I would make It a statu tory law that In such u case, It would be tho duty of tho court to render an order disbarring such attorney from practic ing In that particular court until after tho question shall have been passed upon by the grand Jury or until after an acquittal by a trlul Jury. Such laws enacted by a legislature would be a long step In the right direction. They would rid tho bar of an unprofessional and cangerous element and thu community at largo of a vicious and crlmlnul class. ItenicilteN Advised. He also suggested theso remedies: To allow stenographers' notes to be given In evldenco by tho stenographer who mado them. This would establish beyond much doubt tho preclst) matter to which defend ant testified. Tho law should be amended making it tho special duty of tho county attorney and tho grand Jury to Inquire Into all complnlnts and chnrges of perjury and the court should especially direct tho grund Jury upon that subject nt each recurring session. Laws should bo co modilled ns to' mako the crime of perjury punishable both by flno and imprisonment In the county Jail or im prisonment in the penitentiary If tho cir cumstances were aggravating nnd tho proof of guilt overwhelming. Under the present law conviction of perjury must bo followed by imprisonment in the penitentiary for u period not exceeding ten years'.

The committee on legal education and admission to tho bar had no recommenda tions to make. Its report recites that the system of examination for admission by a board of law examiners, under u stntutc passed aa a rebiilt of work by the associa tion, will be Inaugurated nt tho next term of thu supreme court and tho committee thought It wlso to giro the now plan a trial beforo making further recommenda tion. The committee expressed the belief that the new system will In time secure higher educational qualifications. Tho law schools of tho state have all Increased their required courses of study so as to provldi) for three years' work before grad uation, and the beneficial effects of the statuto will appear, therefore, not only In n better educntlon required of those ad mitted without law school study, bill also of those who are graJuated from the law schools.

He says that the democrats he has met agree that the Ohio Idea Is all right. Tho campaigns should bo made In Iowa on state Issues alone this year. This was the program agreed upon at the conference held last February when the date for the state convention was fixed. A conservative democrat was se lected for chairman of tho convention and tho plan Is to select n ticket composed largely of men who have not been con spicuous In support of Hryan. What the democrnts will do In their Des Molncs con vention depends somewhat on what the republicans do nt Cedar Rapids, If Cum mins Is nominated It will be dlfllcult for the democrats to mako a fight on stnte Issues and one leading domocrnt declared today that If Cummins Is nominated he would bo In favor of having the democratic party Indorse him and make tho flint on some other office on the state ticket. If some ono other than Cummins or Ilerrlott Is nominated for governor tho democrats will prepare for a campaign on state Is sues alone, hut beforo doing so they nre likely to have a big fight In their state convention. Omuil Army Men nlNnnitolnteil. Commander George It. Metzgar of tho Department of Iowa, Grand Army of tho Republic, Is In tho city at Grand Army headquarters and he reports that thus far tho Iowa people havo been unablo to se cure nny reduced rates for tho national en campment nt Cleveland,' O. A great many Iowa men aside from tho delegates have been planning to attend tho Cleveland en campment, but apparently tho railroads have pooled and refuse to even consider any propositions to carry tho Iowa people at reduced rates. Inasmuch as tho en campment was taken from Donvor nnd placed In Cleveland on the ground that noi rates had been secured for Denver and tho Iowa department was strongly in favor of going to Denver, there Is much lllfecl lng over the report and unless rates are granted speedily but few Iowans will at tend the encampment.
