RADICAL IDEAS OF THE SPEAKERS

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

system of examination for admission by a
board of law examiners, under u stntutc
passed aa a rebiilt of work by the associa

of thu supreme court and tho committee
thought It wlso to giro the now plan a

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

JEFFERSON, la., July 16. (Spoclal.)
indications point 'to the completion of a
largo part ot tho grade for tho new Chi
cago, Great Western line from Fort Dodge
to Omnha before snow flics. It Is learned
from authority deemed reliable that tho
routo. from Fort. Dodge passes through
Lobrvlllo, southwest through tho corner
of Greene county, diagonally through Car
roll, touch at elthor Glldden or Carroll,
Manning, Harlan and thence to Council
Muffs. Already a gang of surveyors are
at work near Manning and expect to reach
Harlan within ten days. It Is thought the
work of construction on n portion of tho
lino may begin during tho month of Au
gust. There Is also a report that tho
Great Western may purchase rfutrlght thi
Omaha branch of the Illinois Central,
which, It Is said, never pold. In Grccnn
county, at Churdan and at Lobrvlllo, In
Calhoun county, there Is strong opposi
tion to tho now lino among business men.
If tho course prgposcd Is followed It will
result In tho establishment of a new town,
having a fine radius of territory in tho
northwest corner of Greene or northeast
corner of Carroll; which would seriously
Interfere with the trado of Churdan and
Lohrvlllc.

WARM TIMES FOR CHAIRMAN HUFFMAN
Ilia Ktiemles In the I'nrty Srt-li to
llntc 1 1 1 in Dlatilncf il Colonel
Ulboeek Lends the Ohio
Iilen.
(From n Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, July 16. (Special.) lown
democrats are beginning to discuss
whether or not they shall follow the ex
ample of the democrnts of Ohio In putting
up a state ticket on a strictly stata plat
form, Ignoring national Interests and put
ting the party In line for more conserva
tism nnil the return of many who have
drifted away, from It. Those who havo
been lu control of thu party for several
years arc opposed to Ignoring the Chicago
and Kansas City platforms and declare that
they .will have a tight beforo they will sub
mit to nuy chango In tho party program.
Chairman Huffman of thu state committee
Is one who is Insistent on continuing the
old policy, but many of the democrats of
this part of the state are making a fight
to have him displaced on the committee.
Colonel Joseph Klboeek, who was at the
head of the electoral ticket lust year, de
clares that thu Ohio democrats have done
tho wise thing and their examplu oughl to
be followed In Iowa. 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.
