THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CRIMINAL
LAW AND CRIMINOLOGY.

The Fiftieth Anniversary of the Founding of the
Law School was signalized with an attempt to render a
needed public service by calling a National Conference
on the subject of Criminal Law and Criminology. The
conference was an unqualified success, according to the
testimony of all the delegates. The steps of preparation
were duly communicated to alumni by circular letters and
printed announcements. It remains to report the results
of the conference. These are set forth in the first Bulletin of the American Institute of Criminal Law and
Criminology, issued in July, 1909. The following account copies the Bulletin:
ORIGIN. The Institute was organized on June 8, 1909, in
Chicago, as the result of a National Conference on Criminal
Law and Criminology, held on June 7 and 8. The conferer.:e
consisted of delegates called, under the auspices and as the
guests of Northwestern University, by a local organizing committee, including representatives of the contributory sciences of
law, sociology, medicine, psychology, penology, police and philanthropy. This committee met for the first time in December, 1908;
during the ensuing six months it prepared for the conference
by sending personal invitations to nearly five hundred persons
known to be expert workers in the various fields. The invitations were based partly on the nominations of members of the
organizing committee, partly on the nominations of the governors,
chief justices and federal judges in the respective States and
Territories and partly on forther nominations by invited delegates. The conference was attended by nearly one hundred and
fifty delegates, coming from regions as far separated as Massachusetts, Louisiana, California and Idaho.
OBJECT. The conference voted to organize for permanent
work. The resolution of organization is as follows:

FOUNDING AND PURPOSE OF THE LAW
SCHOOL.

The Law School was founded in 1859, with a sum of
money given by Thomas Hoyne; there being at the time
but three similar schools west of the Allegheny Mountains.
The first professor and dean was Henry Booth, 1859-1891.
For many years the School was known as the Union College of Law, being under the joint control of the old
University of Chicago and of Northwestern University,
but when taken over wholly by Northwestern University
in 1891 it assumed its present name.
Students from all parts of the country may obtain a
thorough training in the various subjects of the law. The
course of study is arranged so as to give the knowledge of
the law that will be indispensable to students wherever
they may practice. Graduates of the Law School now
practice in nearly forty States and Territories. Special
opportunities, however, are afforded for acquiring a knowledge of the law of Illinois, the peculiarities of which are
pointed out in every course.
IV.

LOCATION AND EQUIPMENT.

The School is located in Northwestern University
Building, ·at the corner of Lake and Dearborn Streets,
Chicago. This building was acquired and equipped in
1901-02, at a cost of nearly one million dollars, for the
purpose of securing a permanent home for the departments
of law, dentistry and pharmacy. It is located near the
center of the business district of Chicago and is easy of
access from all residence portions of the city. The City,
State, and Federal Courts are within a few blocks and
afford students an opportunity to witness the practice of
litigation in varied forms. The School occupies 24,000

square feet of space, divided into convenient lecture-rooms,
offices, and library.
THE LIBRARY.

The library is well equipped for study and research.
It at present comprises duplicate sets of the United States
Reports, the official Reports of all the States, the complete
National Reporter System, partly in duplicate, the Lawyers' Reports Annotated, all of the official Illinois Reports
in duplicate, statutes of all the States in the Union, a large
collection of digests, legal periodicals, encyclopedias and
text-books, a collection of works on Jurisprudence and
Legal Biography. Of the English Reports it possesses the
complete Law Reports since 1865, substantially all the
other regular Reports since the beginning of the Year
Books, except those appearing in law journals, and the
complete Statutes.
THE GARY COLLECTIONS.

The following collections are the gifts of Hon. Elbert
H. Gary, '67, of New York City. These collections offer
opportunity for study and research not available in any
other law library:
The Gary Collection of Modern Continental Law, now
numbering some 10,000 volumes on the law of twentyone European countries, as contained in statutes, decisions, journals, and treatises, is not paralleled in scope by
any other collection in the United States. As a source of
investigation for Continental Law it will provide facilities
wholly unavailable elsewhere.
The Gary Collection of Internatio nal Law includes
nearly 2,000 volumes; when completed it will include all
printed material relating to American International Law
and Diplomacy not now available in the West.

The Gary Collection of A ncient, Oriental and Primitive
Law includes the Hindu, Mohammedan, Hebrew, Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Chinese, and Japanese systems,

�LOCATION AND EQUIPMENT.

as well as the media!val European materials, and is invaluable to students of comparative law, politics, and history.
The Gary Collection of Roman and Civil Law numbers
nearly 3,000 volumes, including the library of the late
Moritz Voigt, of Leipzig, Germany, and contains many rare
volumes not found in any other American library.
The Gary Collection of English Historical Legal Literature (partly completed) will include all material of this
character not now elsewhere accessible in the libraries of
the West.
The Gary Collection of Mexican and South American
Laws ( not yet installed) will include collections of the
modern law of Mexico and the South American States,
following so far as possible the arrangement in the Gary
Collection of Modern Continental Law, that is, a collection of the codes, decisions of the Supreme Court, most
important treatises, and leading law journals. The growing
value of this collection to the student and practitioner will
be quite apparent. It is expected that the Mexican collection will be accessible at the beginning of the academic
year in September, 19o8.
The Gary Collection of Colonial Law s (not yet installed) will include complete sets of Colonial Session laws
(partly reprints), revisions, and contemporary and modern
treatises on the laws of the colonies.
The Gary Collection of Treatises on the Philosophy of
the Law i's partially completed and will include all leading
German, French, Italian and English texts on this subject.

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.
TRAINING IN LEGAL WRITING AND SPEAKING AND
IN THE PRACTICE OF THE LAW.

As a part of the systematic instruction in the body of the law,
represented in the foregoing curriculum, an effort is made to provide adequate training in the practical nse of legal knowl edge and
discipline, as well as in certain important details of legal writing
and speaking which help materially to equip the accomplished lawyer.
The various branches of work directed to this end are as follow s :
I. Pleadings and Other Instruments-In the courses on Common Law Pleading, Code Pleading, and Equity Pleading, in addition to the study of the legal sources, the student is given exercises
in the drafting of the various kinds of pleadings. In Corporations,
the class is formed, during the second term, into two corporations,
which organize, elect officers, issue stock, enlarge capital, keep
books, consolidate, and do various other acts of corporate business
which call for the drafting of instruments and otherwise familiarize the student with the modes of using the legal knowledge
required. In the other cours-es, particularly Commercial Paper,
Carriers, Insurance, and the like, attention is paid to the study of
forms of instruments in common use.
2. Conveyancing-In the course on Conveyancing, the chief
material of the work consists in a series of selected abstracts of
title, some fifteen in all, representing the greatest variety of documents and proceedings involving property rights. A separate cop)
of each abstract is placed in the hands of every member of the
class, and a detailed study is made of the various matters of form
and substance from the conveyancer's point of view, and with
regard to the laws of different States. Thorough work in this
' course ought to equip the student as a practical conveyancer at the
time of his entering upon his profession. No one may take this
course who has not already taken the courses Property I and II.
3. Trial Practice-In the several courses of lectures on Procedure and Practice a systematic and detailed survey is taken of the
rules of law. In the course on Evidence, the class is given an
auxiliary drill in the use of the rules. In the Practice Court an
opportunity is given to the third-year students to become practically
familiar with all these rules by the personal application of them
in litigation managed by the student himself. The Court's sessions
are held weekly, on Thursday evenings, for two hours. During
each session from one to three ca~'es are tried, with and without
a jury; and other cases are disposed of in various aspects. In the

meantime, between the sessions, numbers of causes are being prepared and advanced from stage to stage by the student-attorneys
in charge. While the proceedings are dispatched, at the hearings,
by the respective attorneys, all other members of the class are
required to attend and make notes and report of the work being
done, so that each one obtains some benefit also from what is
done in his presence by others. A faithful observance of the work
of this course ought to give the graduate such an -experience in
using his legal knowledge as will assist him materially to start
in his profession with greater readiness and practical facility. The
systematc pursuit of such work under an experienced instructor
obtains for the student the same results as a period of desultory
service in a law office, and is more economical in time and more
thorough and accurate in quality. A copy of the printed Rules of
the Practice Court will be mailed to anyone upon request.
4. Legal Tactics-For the past six years, on every Monday
evening until April, an address was given, by some well-known
member of the Bar, upon some topic of practice in which he had
had special experience, and in which the communication of personal
experience was of special value as a guide to others. This course
has been of particular value to young practitioners already at the
Bar, and will be repeated in 1908-1909, with some variations. The
list of addresses, with the names of the speakers, for 1908-9, wili
be published in the August-October number of the Quarterly Bulletin.
5. Thesis-It is the desire of the Faculty to encourage original
research by students. Any member of the third-year class may
therefore obtain credit to any amount not exceeding two term hours
by presenting a satisfactory thesis upon some legal topic approved
by a member of the Faculty before December r. The thesis must
be presented on or before May 15 of the year in which the student expects to graduate; it must be printed on the typewriter or
otherwise, and is to be kept permanently in the school. The work
should be begun not later than October.
6. Editorial Work-The work of editing and digesting the
opinion and record of a decided case for the use of the profession
is of great value in cultivating the skill required for preparing
briefs and analyzing the value of a precedent. Each year not more
than seven members of known ability are appointed from the second and third-year classes as Associate Editors .of the Illinois Lau
Rev-iew, and have charge of digesting the manuscript decisions of
the Appellate Court.

�20

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

In 1907-8, these Associate Editors were: Messrs. Robert 0.
Butz, Alexander P. Lindsay, Cecil Barnes and William Dean of
the class of 1go8, and Elmer M. Liessmann of the class of 1909.
7. Legal Forensics-The function of a lawy,er, as a persuasive
adviser and leader of men, needs for its development some training
in oral argument and debate, use of the voice, conduct of meetings,
and the like. This instruction has been consolidated into a single
graded course continuing through the three years, and is required
for graduation. Persons entering with advanced standing who have
not taken equivalent work elsewhere are subj-ect to the remaining
requirements applicable to the class which they enter, except that
a candidate for a degr,ee in one year may be exempted from
specified parts of the work, or may be required to substitute the
second year for the third year work.
The course at large is entitled ,Forensic Writing and Speaking.
In the first year it is entitled Forensics, Lectures and Exercises;
in the second year, Moot Court and Public Debate; in the third
year, Practical Legal Advice.
The credit for work done is as follows: First year, 1 term
hour; second year, I term hour; third year, I term hour.
The first year work is as follows:
I. a. Voice Training; October and later; exercises in sections
of twelve or fifteen, once a week.
b. Legal Argumentation and Briefs; November to April, inclusive; once a week at 3 :45 P. M.; lectures on Argumentation,
accompanied by individual exercises in Oral Forensics and Briefwriting, subject to private correction and public criticism b/f the
instructor.
For work done in parts a and b, combined, a credit of one
term hour is allowed.
The second year work is as follows:
II. a. Moot Courts. In the second year a Moot Court is
held once a week from November I to May 1, at 1 :45 P. M.
The second year class is divided into two sections, A and B, each
section to meet on alternate weeks. The work consists of the
preparation and delivery of arguments and opinions of law on
statements of facts assigned beforehand. All statements of facts
are to be delivered to the counsel in the case by October 1.
Each professor presides at thr,ee cases consecutively. The chief
counsel, two on each side, hold a conference with the Instructor
in Forensics four weeks before the day set for argument at an

�CURRICULUM FOR 1908-9.

21

hour appointed on the Bulletin Board; at this conference, each
side presents (in separate consultation) an outline of the proposed
argument, in the form of brief propositions without citation of
authorities, and the Instructor makes such criticism and revision
as may seem desirable. One week beforehand the counsel on each
side post on the official bulletin board a copy of their final brief,
with citation of authorities, in typewriting, or plain hand-writing,
on legal cap paper, and hand another copy to the opposing side.
On the day of argument, a Professor presides as judge, with two
members of the section as associate judges. Each attorney assigned is allowed a period for argument in chief. All the other
members of the same section attend, and each member, not assigned
as counsel or judge, makes an argument, not to exceed five minutes,
in at least every other case, i. e., at least once every four weeks.
The Instructor in Forensics then makes such criticism as may
appear necessary, and the presiding judge then does the same. An
opinion is written by the associate judges and filed at the Secretary's office not later than one week after the date of argument.
The mark of each member of the section is determined by his
work as counsel, assigned and unassigned, and as judge. No
student shall be recommended for a degree (except by unanimous
vote of the Faculty) who has not satisfactorily done the work of
this course; except that persons entering the third-year class from
another School may by vote be excused from this work.
b. Public Debate. A student entering the preliminary contests for the Towle Prizes for Public Speaking in April, and being
selected for the second preliminary and taking part therein, may
receive a credit of one term hour. No student shall be eligible for
this contest who has not taken the work of /, a, and b, or the
equivalent in another School.
The third year work is as follows:
Ill. a. Legal Advice Clubs. All third-Y.ear students may
enter Legal Advice Clubs, formed by voluntary selection on or
before October 10, supplemented by assignments to vacancies by
the Secretary of the School; each club to contain not less than
four nor more than six members, and to elect a Secretary. Difficult cases arising in actual practice, sent in for advice for alumni
or other practitioners, will be submitted to the Clubs in rotation
as the cases come in. On 24 hours' notice to the Secretary of the
Club, the Club is to meet the Dean or a Professor specially in
charge at 3 :15 P . M., in his office, and to discuss the questions

�22

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

involved; a written opinion, citing authorities, is to be handed the
Professor specially in charge within seven days, or such other time
as may be agreed upon.
b. Bitreau of Justice. After October I not more than ten
students are to be assigned for practical office and trial work as
assistants in the Chicago Legal Aid Society, University Branch.

names with the Secretary of the School, in order of the time of
filing and rank of the student in scholarship, but no student having
grade C in more than one course to be eligible for assignment.
The number of hours of work from each person to be determined
by agreement with the Superintendent of the Society. In 1906-7,
the usual arrangement was for each student-attorney to give one
or two half-days per week to the work of the Society.
For work &lt;lone in part a a credit of one term hour will be
allowed each member of a club; provided that club has furnished
not less than ,eight cases in the year.

THE YOU~G MEN'S CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION.

The Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago has
established a branch which carries on work in the three
Schools in the University Building. In addition to its
religious work, the Association is of service to the students
in many ways. In the pleasant rooms, placed at its disposal
by the University, the Association maintains a very popular
social center with a well-selected list of reading material,
several games and a piano. Throughout the year the list of
rooms and boarding places is kept for the use of students in
settling in the city.
All students are invited to make the Association rooms
their headquarters during the year. As far as possible new
students will be met at the train by an Association man
wearing a badge. Those desiring to be so met will please
write a few days in advance to Y. M. C. A., Northwestern
University Building, Chicago, indicating clearly on what
train they are to reach Chicago, and over what road they
are to come.

�SELECTION AND MANAGEMENT OF A JURY.
By James M. Sheean, Esq., of the Chicago Bar.
An Address delivered in tlie Course on Legat Tactics, Hurd Hatt. Monday Evening,
October JS, 1906.

Ladies and Gentlemen: The subject assigned to me, "Selection
and Management of a Jury," is one that would justify a review
of almost every subj ect in the progress of a law-suit, from the
filing of the declaration to the entry of final judgment. The selection of a jury, in my judgment, should begin long prior to your
appearance before the judge or jury by whom the case is to be tried;
and by that I mean that if any of you are to engage in practice in
the country, or have an extensive practice in the Federal Court,
there is no excuse on the part of any practicing lawyer, who does
not, at least, have some information or knowledge of the likes and
dislikes, tendencies, prejudices and partialities due to the characteristics of the different individuals summoned as jurors. During
the time I was engaged in practice, known as country practice,
a practice where the jury are selected some time in advance of
the term of court, every lawyer who had any case pending upon
the docket, would, of course, know the name and address of every
juryman who would be called to try any case at that term of court.
In the Federal Court, where the juries remain for five, six or
eight weeks, there is no reason why anyone engaged in practice
should not know the business, occupation and past history of every
juror, their possible likes or dislikes, litigation in which they have
been engaged that would tend to prejudice them either for or against
any class of cases wh ich you might have to present; therefore, it
seems to me it should be borne in mind by a person who intends to
engage in jury practice that the selection of a jury should begin long
prior to the time of impaneling a jury to try the case in court.
But proceeding to the time when a jury actually has been called
into the jury box, because here in Chicago, under the hurly-burly
method by which every trial lawyer must do his work, it is utterly
impossible that any line of any sort should be had upon the different
men who are called into the different jury rooms to try the different
lawsuits: It seems to me in the selection of a jury the first thing
to be done, whether you represent the plaintiff or defendant, is to
form an impression from th e appearance of the jurymen as to what
would probably be their respective modes of approaching the given
proposition that you are going to present. If, for instance, you
represent the plaintiff, it is extremely desirable you should elicit

from the prospective juryman his possible connection with litigation
of a similar character, his training, mode of life, whether or not
anyone related to him has been engaged in the same sort of litigation, whether at any time he has held any petty office, because above
all things, it should be borne in mind, no matter on which side of
the case you appear, that ex-sheriffs, ex-constables, ex-justices of
the peace are men to avoid in the selection of a jury. A little
learning is always a dangerous thing, and I think every lawyer will
tell you, if he has permitted an ex-justice of the peace to remain
upon the panel, that to demonstrate his superior knowledge and
attainments such justice will deem it necessary to be a: leader upon
the retirement to jury room, and will either bring about a disagreement or will convert the other jurymen to some particular fad or
fancy that he has absorbed in his rudimentary studies of the law.
If you happen to be the attorney for the defendant, you want to
make an impression upon the jury, that it is not a mere formal
matter that you are in court, and that you have not been in court
idly sitting there waiting your turn to ask questions and then to
proceed to ask the jurymen the same questions, reiterating the same
queries that have been propounded by the attorney for the plaintiff.
Now it is a very simple matter, if you should represent the defendant, to remember the names of twelve men .who are called into
the box; it is a very simple matter to remember what the answers
have been as to occupation, and so, without reference to your notes,
when the time comes for you on behalf of the defendant to interrogate the jurymen-a simple matter to call each of them by name
without reference to your notes. It is very easy to remember what
each juror has answered to, whether or not he has been engaged
in litigation, and your recollection of his previous answers at once
demonstrates to the juryman it is not an idle formality so far as
you are concerned, but that you have been interested in his answers,
and that you have taken enough interest in his responses to be able
to go on from the place where the plaintiff's attorney has left off,
asking only such questions as will enable you to determine whether
or not he is a fit and competent juryman to sit in the particular case.
I would suggest that you determine, if possible, when the panel
is called into the jury box, which one, which two, or which three
men upon that jury are the ones most likely to be leaders. Given
any sel\!ction of twelve men you will find inevitably and invariably
that the association for a few hours or a few days together, will
serve to pick out and mark certain of them as leaders of the
thought of the others. You don't try your case to the twelve men.
Select your leader or leaders when the jury have been called into
the jury box and try your case to those men. It is a practical cer-

tainty that those men, if convinced, will try your case with their
fellow-jurymen.
Don't exhaust your peremptory challenges. It is often an easy
matter to have unsatisfactory jurors disqualify themselves by
obtaining answers that they have certain prejudices, or answering
possibly they have had similar litigation, which would cause them
to lean slightly to one or the other side of the case. Bear in mind
that five peremptories are allowed to you, and also bear in mind
that whenever you get an unsatisfactory juror excused for cause
you are conserving your assets for the trial of the case. The first
impression to me seems of greater value in the actual selection of a
jury than anything elicited by questions concerning the dispositions
and the particular lines of endeavor and particular prejudices of
prospective jurors. Personally, I have always found it more satisfactory to act upon the first impression that I have received than
upon the answers of the jury called into the jury box.
Now, your jury has been sworn to try the issues. Possibly the
most important thing to determine is the question of making or
not making an opening statement. During the trial of any case
before any jury it seems to me of utmost importance that you
should, at all times, impress upon the jury the solemnity of the
obligation which they have undertaken. Don't at any time, permit
the jury to get the idea it is only a frivolous matter so far as you
are concerned or that it doesn't make any difference what the
outcome of the case may be, because all jurymen I think are truly
appreciative of the solemn obligation of their position, and a great
majority of jurymen will, I think, respond to ideas of ultimate
right and justice.
Whether an opening statement should be made, and if a statement is to be made, what scope it should cover, are questions which
present more perplexity to the lawyer than any other proposition.
If you make a statement, above all things be sure to make it not
too strong. Never state to the jury that you expect to prove certain
facts unless you are absolutely certain that the facts will be proven
as stated. Many cases are lost not because the plaintiff has not made
out a case, but because the plaintiff has not made out the case as
the lawyer assured the jury he would make it before the evidence
was introduced. If your statement is extravagant the contrast
between allegata et probata can be held up to ridicule and scorn
and the jury in returning their verdict will return a verdict not of
"Not guilty," but a verdict of not proven as stated. If the plaintiff's
attorney makes a fair statement of the facts which he will prove,
the question which confronts the attorney for the defendant is one
fraught with equal difficulty. The practice obtains quite largely in

this county of asking leave to reserve the opening statement on
behalf of the defendant until the completion of the plaintiff's case;
in the nisi prius courts of this county that request is granted as
a matter of course. In many counties throughout the state the
presiding judge will not permit defendant's statement to be reserved.
In this state this is a matter within the discretion of the trial court,
but most judges outside of Cook county will require you to make
your opening statement on behalf of the defendant before the
introduction of any evidence or waive the entire right to make
any statement.
Ordinarily to determine whether it is better to make a statement on behalf of the defendant before the introduction of any
evidence. or to reserve it until the completion of all the evidence,
hinges upon the question whether you expect on the part of the
defendant to br~ak down the plaintiff's case as st'ated, or whether
you expect, although those facts be admitted, to avoid the legal
effect of those facts by the introduction of further facts. In the
latter case a statement should invariably be made. Possibly I don't
make myself clear. My own idea is that if the plaintiff's case is
one that you intend merely to disprove, if his statement is one that
you expect to weaken by cross-examination, then there is no
particular advantage in making an opening statement to the jury,
because your defense is a mere negation; to stand before the jury
and say you expect to disprove facts which the plaintiff's attorney
has stated he would prove accomplishes practically nothing. If,
however, there be other and further facts which will either weaken
or nullify the legal effect of the facts stated by plaintiff the
defendant should state them. I think it is always desirable that the
defendant should make a full, frank and fair statement of any
additional facts, which he expects to prove; otherwise the jury
after hearing the plaintiff's statement and weighing the testimony,
see whether or not the facts which the plaintiff introduced sustain
the statement which the plaintiff's attorney has made; and if the
proof submitted conforms to the statement made, the result is to
fix an impression in the minds of the jury that cannot be shaken,
that cannot be overcome by the introduction later on of other
and further facts.
Assume, however, that your opening statement on behalf of both
sides has been made. The next question of importance is to decide
upon the order in which you will introduce your proof. It should
be borne in mind, if you happen to represent the plaintiff, that
your facts should be developed in the most satisfactory order so
as to make a connected story leading up to the climax. The
unimportant matters, matters preliminary or by way of inducement,

�10

, BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

should be first brought forth without any flourish and without any
particular attempt at argument in forming your questions, reserving
always as your last witness the one who will make the most favorable impression, whose story is the story which ultimately fixes the
liability of the defendant, The defendant's attorney is then confronted with the problem of the proper method of cross-examination, and I think every lawyer will tell you therein lies the greatest
danger, the danger of over-cross-examination. In trying to break
down, to t ear to pieces, to shake the testimony of the witness
on the other side we secure ordinarily a mere iteration and reiteration of the important facts which makes the case ten times stronger
on th e part of the adversary than if we had permitted the witness
to leave the stand without any cross-examination other than touching
upon the weather, or th e outcome of the ball games or something
that had nothing whatever to do with the matter then on trial.
Don't argue with a witness. When the witness has gotten into a
position where we have succeeded, upon cross-examination, in
securing from him a statement in direct contradiction of what he
has testified to upon direct examination non e of us are able to
drop it at th at time, b~t we must press home, in the wild excitement
of the trial, we must press home this advantage we have obtained,
and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred you will see an opportunity
given to the witness to wriggle or squirm out of the contradiction
into which he has placed himself by the further pressing of the
lawyer, who doesn't like to quit at the psychological moment of his
cross-examination.
After the plaintiff's case is completed and it becomes time for the
introduction of witnesses on behalf of the defendant, my suggestion
is that you first introduce your witnesses who will contradict the case
made out by the plaintiff.
Don't start with the development of your own case. By that I
mean don't start with the introduction of facts, which simply would
be explanatory of the facts which the plaintiff's witnesses have testified to. If there be witnesses who will directly contradict the testimony of witnesses sworn on behalf of the plaintiff, first introduce
the witnesses who will weaken the plaintiff's case before you start
the development of your own case on behalf of the defendant. In the
course of the introduction of that evidence let me say that my idea
is that you should never press home any opportunity that may be
given you through the ill-advised repartee or attempt at repartee of
your adversary, that you should never be sarcastic over his efforts in
attempting to make a case, because many times it is to be observed
that a jury will secure th e impression that one side of a case was not
presented very well, this poor fellow had no opportunity, he was

outgeneraled by the other side, he almost made a case, weakling
though he be, and if they only had a lawyer upon that side of the
case they would win, for there is really a meritorious lawsuit. In
other words, juries often get the impression where there is too much
lawyer in the case that it is the lawyer who is weakening the other
side of the case rather than a lack of merit. When the lawyer is
himself much in evidence, or is quick at repartee, or is able to take
advantage of the weaker opponent, the sympathy of the jury will be
enlisted; not merely sympathy, but the jury will carry to the jury
room the belief that the other side really has a meritorious case, and
that its weaknesses are not real, but are only made to appear so
by the brilliancy of the opposition.
You will find it necessary, of course, to object to the introduction
of evidence. Do not argue with the Court if the Court is against
you. Jurymen invariably and inevitably are looking for the slightest intimation as to what the mind of the Court may be upon a particular proposition, and if they can only obtain in some way what
they believe to be an intimation as to the mind of the Court, it is
almost inevitable that the jury will lean toward the suggestion or
supposed suggestion that the Court has made; and so when you
object to the introduction of evidence and the Court rules against
you, and you proceed to protest that the introduction of that
evidence will surely and inevitably lead to the reversal of the case,
and perhaps you show a little venom, perhaps a little spleen, or some
little disgust that a Judge upon the bench should know so little law,
the Judge will invariably by the discussion wh ich you have invited
give an impression to the jurymen that the law is against you and
your side qf the case, and that impression will probably last through
the entire deliberation of the jury. A lthough you know the presiding
Judge is wrong, either in overruling your objection to introduction
of testimony or in ruling out testimony which you have offered,
although you feel absolutely confident of a reversal upon that
proposition, it is always well if you can do so, not to give the
impression to the jury that it hurts very much. It may be that you
see your case, so far as the recorcl would justify, absolutely disappearing under the ruling of the Court, but there may be a lingering
hope that with the jury something may be saved from the wr eckage
if you succeed in passing aside lightly the matter which happens
to be before the Court as being something in whi.ch perhaps you
are wrong, but which is, anyway, not really the pivotal point in
the decision of that particular controversy. Of course, you will
often see cases won before a jury by proceeding exactly opposite
to what I have now suggested. Time and again does it occur that
a lawyer, knowing he has no case, in seeking or apparently seeking

�12

to argue what he claims to be objections to the evidence, or what
he claims to present a legal proposition, in securing hostile rulings
from the Court, and in making a speech to the Court on each of
these objections, by these tactics convinces the jury that he has not
had a chance to present his case. Insinuations and innuendoes as to
what it might lead to if the Court would only let him go into the
introduction of the evidence will sometimes cause a jury to retire
and decide the case upon the "maybe's," or what might have been
introduced if he had only had a chance, but that is a very long
chance to take in the trial of a case before a jury, and is a chance
which only the pettifogger takes.
In the presentation of facts, as I have said, it seems to me that
the defendant should first and foremost bring forward the facts
that tend to batter down the plaintiff's case.
It is always desirable, of course, as much on the part of the
defendant as on the part of plaintiff, to reserve, if possible, for
your last witness the one you think will make the cleanest cut
appearance upon the stand, the one possessed of the greatest intelligence and ability to take care of himself under cross-examination.
In the presentation of facts by these witnesses don't ever lose sight
of the proposition that the jury is probably as intelligent, or at
l east some men upon the jury are probably just as intelligent, as you
or the lawyer on the other side; some of them probably a little bit
more intelligent and better advised upon the particular questions
of fact which you are trying to develop in the controversy. The
_great mistake I think that most of us make in the presentation
of facts is due to an overstudy of our case. We have dreari-it of it,
we have thought of it, we have worked on it day in and day out
until we have a mental picture of all the facts surrounding the
particular transaction there before our eyes all the time. When a
jury is called into a box whose minds are absolutely like a piece of
blank paper, upon that paper we begin to sketch in simply the heavy
lines which are to us the important features, forgetting that the
jury have no impression as to the surroundin gs, as to the beginning,
or as to any of the circumstances of the particular controversy that
is then being tried. In other words, the lawyer is apt to be overtrained. He stayed with his facts too long, and with his law too
long, and therefore in the presentation of his case he takes for
granted a knowledge by the jury of matters that have been embedded
in his mind by long study. We j ump at conclusions, we hurdle over
things that ought to be produced slowly in order that the jury
may get an impression from the beginning to the end of the
,entire transaction.
But I must hurry along. I want to suggest that in the presenta-

tion of your evidence you should never appear particularly exultant
over the introduction of any particular facts which will upon argument be absolutely conclusive of the rights of the parties. At the
time that a witness testifies to facts which you think, upon deliberate·
argument, you could convince a jury were true and which facts
must inevitably control the verdict, you should never take it for
granted that the jury, without argument, will see the full force and
effect of those particular facts. Personally I believe many cases are
lost by the attempted flirting of lawyers with juries. I know it is
indulged in; I know that it sometimes wins cases; I know that
assumed airs of cordiality and good-fellowship are effective with
some juries; but I think in the great majority of cases the hardheaded, cool men who compose the juries are in the end no higher
or lower in intelligence than the average run of lawyers. The
average man upon the jury will resent as an affront the suggestion
that he can be befuddled or befoozled by a little cheap flirtation
on the part of the lawyer, which he knows is attempted only for
the purpose of securing favorable action upon the part of the jury
in the trial of that particular lawsuit.
Now if your evidence has been introduced, the next question that
presents itself is what style of argument shall be made before the
jury, and this is a subject which perhaps may trespass upon a subject
that has been assigned to someone else in this course of addresses,
but as it seems to me to be so clearly under the head of the management of a jury we ought to give it just a few minutes' time.
It is often very effective, often worth considering, if you represent the plaintiff and the last witness on behalf of the
defendant has left an unfavorable impression as he left the
witness stand, whether you would not better waive argument.
It is nearly -always possible at the completion of the evidence in a.
case to tell just what the impression of a jury is at that particular
time. If the last witness for the defendant has been one to create·
an unfavorable impression upon the jury, you may feel confident
for the time being at least that the jury is for the plaintiff, and it is.
wonderfully effective to be able to say to the Court that you waive
argument. You can, of course, without making dn argument suggest by your waiver that the facts are so simple and plain that the
jury does not need to have their time further trespassed upon by a
mere speech, and you at once put the burden upon the defendant of
explaining and the man who is explaining is always the under dog.
Now I know the waiver of argument on behalf of plaintiff is .not
indulged in very often, but when the plaintiff has made out a strong
case, I know of no more effective course than to waive the opening
argument. It means that you are so confident of your case you are

�14

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

willing to have it submitted entirely without argument; and if your
opponent sees fit to argue the case, you have an opportunity to reply . .
In making an argument on behalf of the plaintiff it seems to me
that the lawyers who accomplish results most advantageous to
their clients are those who ask of the jury only the results which
they in good fs1ith expect. That is, if they want a verdict for
$10,000.00, although they sued for $50,000.00, a frank statement
of the reasons why the verdict should be the reasonable amount
named, together with an insistance that there shall be no compromise, is more apt to produce results than an argument to the jury
that you want $20,000.00, with the idea that the defendant's attorney
will ask that the jury assess no damages and that the jury will
eventually compromise on ten.
If the plaintiff makes an effective argument the question of the
line of argument to be pursued by the defendant presents perhaps
more perplexity than the question of the argument on behalf of
the plaintiff. Of course, if you see fit to waive your argument,
you thereby shut off the reply on behalf of the plaintiff. It has
grown to be quite a common practice in this county, where two
attorneys are engaged on behalf of a plaintiff to let the younger
lawyer try his wings in the opening argument, and where an hour
has been assigned on either side to have that young lawyer take
fifteen minutes for opening and let his colleague reserve his heavy
guns for the forty-five minutes in replying to the defendant. When
that situation confronts you I think it is always the better course
to say there is nothing to reply to and submit your case without
argument, thus shutting off the heavy artillery. This is effective for
the reason that the jury will gain the idea that there is really no
occasion for argument, that there is not anything to reply to.
If you conclude you must make an argument the only suggestion
I have to make is that you should follow practically the plan I have
suggested in the introduction of testimony, that is, proceeding first
without discussion of the evidence of any of your witnesses to take
up the testimony of the witnesses on behalf of the plaintiff, showing
wherein there are contradictions, showing wherein there are inherent
improbabilities, showing wherein the story as told runs counter to the
ordinary experiences of an ordinary man in the ordinary affairs of
life. In other words, make plaintiff's case as weak as you can
before you begin a discussion of your own case and of the facts
brought out by your own witnesses.
In your argument, if you can avoid it, don't put any especial
stress or force upon the question of which witnesses have committed perjury. Jurors like to believe, and in the end it is true,
that all the witnesses in cases have a desire to tell approximately

�SELECTION AND MANAGEMENT OF A JURY.

15

the truth. It may be that it is not the "whole truth," it may be
that it is not entirely "nothing but the truth," but I believe that
in the end the most effective argument to the jury is an effort to
reconcile, in so far as you can, the stories of the witnesses, rather
than boldly to claim that one or the other is deliberately, wilfully and
wantonly committing perjury. The jury does not like to have
collaterally involved in their decision a determination that one or
the other has committed wilful and deliberate perjury.
When the case of your opponent has been belittled as much
as it can be belittled by legitimate argument, then compare and
contrast the testimony of your own witnesses with that of the witnesses of the opposition, weakened as much as you have been able to
weaken it by legitimate argument.
Above all things, don't prepare a speech for a jury, whether
you be for the plaintiff or the defendant, before you start upon
the trial of your lawsuit. No lawyer who has gone through the
experience of trying a case, from the impanelling of the jury until
its final submission to these arbiters of questions of fact, will ever
advise that an address for a jury be prepared, either on behalf
of the defendant or the plaintiff. Your opening statement prior
to the introduction of evidence can well be prepared, and you
should have an intimate knowledge of just what facts you expect
to prove. But during the trial of any contested case it is almost
impossible that the facts should dev elop exactly as you understood
them to be before the introduction of evidence, for even though
you understand all the facts which your witnesses had told you in
advance that they would testify to, it is a practical certainty that
there will be other facts brought out on the part of your adversary
of which you had no knowledge; otherwise there would not have
been any lawsuit. An address, either on behalf of the defendant or
the plaintiff, prepared previous to the time all the evidence has been
introduced is, in my judgment, one of the most ill-advised practices
in which any lawyer can indulge.
Don't expect to win cases by oratory; don't expect that any
appeals to passion or prejudice, or any bright or witty sayings are
going to have any particular force or effect upon juries. It is the
massing of the facts, facts, facts, brought home to the jury as being
the things of which they are the final arbiters, with the constant
reminder that they, the jury, are the ones who have the responsibility
of determining what those facts are. That brings results from
juries, who do realize, or at least I think most of them do, the
solemn obligations and responsibilities which they have assumed.
One other thing in your address to juries. When you . are
through, know that you are through. Don't say to them "in con-

clusion" and then hark back and talk for ten, fifteen, twenty or
twenty-five minutes in a repetition or reiteration of what you have
been discussing. Don't bring about the pleasant anticipation or
hope on their part that you are almost through and then go back
and repeat, and say to them again the things that have all been said.
And so, ladies and gentlemen, following my last suggestion, that
you quit when you are through, I conclude these remarks with the
confident assurance to each one of you that if, in your practice of
the law you will but follow in all things the course which I have
suggested and will but adhere strictly to the foregoing rules, you
will be rewarded by repeated demonstration of the wisdom of
the man who said that omniscience alone can tell what a jury is
likely to do.

PRELIMINARY LIST OF BOOKS IN GARY
COLLECTION OF LATIN-AMERICAN LAWS.

Realizing the growing need to American students and to American lawyers and investors of a collection of modern Latin-American laws, and the value of such a collection, particularly to this
section of the country, the beginning of this collection was
authorized by Honorable Elbert H. Gary, 1867, in March, 1go8, and
steps were immediately taken to procure as much material as
possible and render it accessible (to students and members of the
bar) by the fall . of 1go8. Inasmuch as there is little bibliography
on South American laws, and no extensive dealers who can be
relied upon to furnish complete sets of modern codes, treatises,
decisions and journals of any of the South American states, it
was a problem what method should be used to procure prompt
results. For the success in already partially solving this problem
the Law School is greatly indebted to Robert J. Kerr, Esq., '95
( of Kerr &amp; Kerr), of the Chicago Bar, who maintains an attorney's office in Mexico City, and whose practice in the Mexican
courts and familiarity with the laws of the South American countries enabled him, through the assistance of the State Department
of the United States and a number of the diplomatic representatives of the United States in South America, to procure most of
the material included in this preliminary list.
It is ultimately purposed to follow, as far as possible, the plan
of the Gary Collection o-f Modern Continental Laws; that is, include tmder each South American government and Mexico the
modern Codes, or Statutes, decisions of Supreme Courts, leading
treatises and leading law journals, for that government. Because
of the reasons above stated, however, this collection cannot be
completed in this manner for some length of time.

This Committee will have in charge the selection of delegates
to be invited on behalf of the University and the L aw School, and
the arrangement of the program.
One of the chief purposes of the Conference is to bring together for conference and discussion the leading men in the United
States in law, medicine, psychology, sociology, penology, juvenile
courts, legal aid societies, etc., who by their work have shown
themselves interested in a practical way in the problem of dealing
with criminals, with the belief that such a conference, with its
resulting interchange of ideas and information, will quicken the
conscience of the country at large and lead to an active attempt
to remedy many of the grave defects in that part of our present
legal system related to the criminal.
As soon as prepared a detailed account of the proposed celebration will be mailed each alumnus, and when prepared a program will be mailed members of the bar.

EARLY

SEVENTEENTH

CENTURY

PLEA FOR A LIBERAL EDUCATION
FOR LAWYERS.
The plea or argument following is a facsimile reproduction of
Chapter V of one of the volumes in the Gary Collection of English
Historical Legal Literature, the title page of which reads:
"The English Lawyer. Describing a Method for the Managing of the Lawes of this Land. And expressing the best
qualities requisite in the Student, Practizer, Judges and Fathers
of the same. Written by the Reverend and Learned Sir John
Doderidge, Knight, one of the Justices of the King's Bench,
lately deceased. London. Printed by the Assignees of J. Moore,
Esq. M. D. C. XXXI."
It is reproduced at this time as a historical illustration of the
attitude of one of England's judges in 1631 on a problem now
being considered by American Bar Associations and Universities,
and as a revelation of the similarity of argument, then ":nd now,
on both sides of the question, whether a college training should be
required as a condition for admission to law schools and to the
bar.

LOCATION AND EQUIPMENT

The Law School was founded in 1859. It is located in
Northwestern University Building, at the corner of Lake
and Dearborn Streets, Chicago. This building was acquired
and equipped at a cost of nearly one million dollars for the
purpose of securing a permanent home for the departments
of law, dentistry and pharmacy. It is located near the center
of the business district of Chicago, easy of access from all
residence portions of the city. It is within a few blocks of
the City, State, and Federal Courts, and hence offers students an opportunity to witness the practice of litigation in
varied forms. The school occupies 24,000 square feet of
space, divided into convenient lecture-rooms, offices and
library. The library contains about 25,000 volumes and is
being rapidly increased; it now includes all of the official
reports of all the American States and Territories, together
with their statutes; the entire National Reporter System,
partly in duplicate; the origirial English Reports together
with the Revised Reports and the English Reprint ; a good
collection of legal periodicals, treatises and selected cases.
In addition to the above, the Library includes the Gary Collections of English Legal Historical Material; of Ancient
and Oriental Law; of American International Law; of
Roman and Civil Law; and of Modern Continental Law; the
latter being the most complete collection of its kind in the
United States.

may take courses in the second or third year-groups without special
permission; and no second-year student may take courses in the
third year-group (except Constitutional Law, Carriers, and Patents
of Invention) without special permission; and a third-year student
taking the courses of Conveyancing and Property III must already
have taken the courses of ·Property I and II. But any regular
student may take any course offered in the group of the year for
which he is entered, or any course not already taken by him in a
preceding year.
SCHEDULE OF HOURS.
The schedule of hours is so arranged that the courses are given
in general as follows: first year courses, between two and five
o'clock in the afternoon; second year courses, between nine and
twelve o'clock in the morning; third year courses, between three
and seven o'clock in the afternoon. The Practice Court is held in
the evening at half past seven.

C. TRAINING IN LEGAL WRITING AND SPEAKING AND
IN THE PRACTICE OF THE LAW.
As a part of the systematic instruction in the body of the law,
represented in the foregoing curriculum, an effort is made to provide adequate training in the practical use of legal knowledge and

�CURRICULUM FOR 1907-8.

11 '

discipline, as well as in certain important details of legal writing
and speaking which help materially to equip the accomplished lawyer.
The various branches of work directed to this end are as follows:
1. Pleadings and Other Instruments-In the courses on Common Law Pleading, Code Pleading, and Equity Pleading, in addition
to the study of the legal sources, the student is given exercises in
the drafting of the various kinds of pleadings. In Corporations,
the class is formed, during the second term, into two corporations,
which organize, elect officers, issue sto&lt;;k, enlarge capital, keep books,
consolidate, and do various other acts of corporate busines~ which
call for the drafting of instruments and otherwise familiarize the
student with the modes of using the legal knowledge required. In
the other courses, particularly Commercial Paper, Carriers, I_nsurance, and the like, attention is paid to the study of forms of instruments in common use.
2. Conveyancing-In the course on Conveyancing, the chief
material of the work consists in a series of selected abstracts of
title, some fifteen in all, representing the greatest variety of documents and proceedings involving property rigJ1ts. A separate copy
of each abstract is placed in the hands of every member of the class,
and a detailed study is made of the various matters of form and
substance from the conveyancer's point of view, and with regard to
the laws of different States. Thorough work in this course ought
to equip the student as a practical conveyancer at the time of his
entering upon his profession. No one may take this course who has
not already taken the courses Property I and II.
3. Trial Practice-In the several courses of lectures on Procedure and Practice a systematic and detailed survey is taken of the
rules of law. In the course on Evidence, the class is given an auxiliary drill in the use of the rules. In the Practice Court an opportunity
is given to the third-year students to become practically familiar
with all these rules by the personal application of them in litigation
managed by the student himself. The Court's sessions are held
weekly, on Thursday evenings, for two hours. During each session
from one to three cases are tried, with and without a jury; and
other cases are disposed of in various aspects. In the meantime,
between the sessions, numbers of causes are being prepared and
advanced from stage to stage by the student-attorneys in charge.
·While the proceedings are dispatched, at the hearings, by the respective attorneys, all other members of the class are required ·to
attend and make notes and report of the work being done, so· that
each one obtains some benefit also from what is done in his presence
by others. A faithful observance of the work of this course ought
to give the graduate such an experience in using his legal knowl-

�12

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

edge as will ass;st him materially to start in his profession with
greater readiness and practical facility. The systematic pursuit
of such work under an experienced instructor obtains for the student
the same results as a period of desultory service in a law office,
and is more economical in time and more thorough and accurate
in quality. A copy of the printed Rules of the Practice Court will
be mailed to any one upon request.
4. Legal Tactics-For the past five years, on every Monday
evening until April, an address was given, by some well-knowri
membec of the Bar, upon some topic of practice in which he had
had special experience, and in which the communication of personal
experience was of special value as a guide to others. This course has
been of particular value to young practitioners already at the Bar,
and will be repeated in 1907-1908, with some variations. The list
of addresses, with the names of the speakers, for 1907-8, will be
published in the August-October number of the Quarterly Bulletin;
and in each number of the Bulletin during 1907-8 will be printed a
selected address.
5. Theses-It is the desire of the Faculty to encourage original'
research by students. Any member of the third-year class may
therefor.e obtain credit to an amount not exceeding two term hours
by presenting a satisfactory thesis upon some legal topic approved
by a member of the Faculty before December 1st. The thesis must
be presented on or before May 15th of the year in which the student
expects to graduate; it must be printed on the typewriter or otherwise, and is to be kept permanently in the school. The work should
be begun not later than October.
6. Editorial Work-The work of editing and digesting the
opinion and record of a decided case for the use of the profession
is of great value in cultivating the skill required for preparing
briefs and analyzing the value of a precedent. Each year seven
members of known ability are appointed from the second and thirdyear classes as Associate Editors of the Illinois Law Review, and
have charge of digesting the manuscript decisions of the Appellate
Court.
In 1906-7, these Associate Editors were: Messrs. Francis Adams,
Jr., Kenneth H. Davenport and Samuel A. Strauss, of the class of
1907, and Messrs. Cecil Barnes, Milton P . Firestone, and Noble B.
Judah, Jr., of the class of 1908.
7. Legal Forensics-The function of a lawyer, as a persuasive
adviser and leader of men, needs for its development some training
in oral argument and debate, use of the voice, conduct of meetings,
and the like. This instruction has been consolidated into a single
graded course continuing through the three years, and is required for

�CURRICULUM FOR 1907-8.

graduation. Persons entering with advanced standing who have not
taken equivalent work elsewhere are subject to the remaining requirements applicable to the class which they enter, except that a
candidate for a degree in one year may be exempted from specified
parts of the work, 6r may be required to sub~titute the second year
for the third year work.
The course at large is entitled Forensic Writing and Speaking.
In the first year it is entitled, Forensics, Lectures and Exercises;
in the second year, Moot Court and Public Debate; in the third
year, Practical Legal Advice.
The credit for work done is as follows : First year, 1 term hour;
second year, 1 term hour; third year, 1 term hour.
The first yea,r work is as follows:
I. a. Parliamentary Practice; October or November; (1) Elementary Course, followed by examination; (2) advanced course, fol lowed by examination or thesis; this to be open only to not more
than twenty students who have ·taken the elementary course, and not
to be a required part of the work.
b. Voice Training; October and later; exercises in sections
of twelve or fifteen, once a week.
c. Legal Argumentatioii and Briefs; November to April, inclusive; once a week at 3 :45 P. M.; lectures on Argumentation,
accompanied by individual exercises in Oral Forensics and Briefwriting, subject to private correction and public criticism by the
instructor.
For work done in parts a (I}, b, and c, combined, a credit of
one term hour is to be allowed.
The second year work is as follows:
II. a. Moot Coiirts. In the second year a Moot Court is held
once a week from November 1 to May 1, at 1 :45 P. M. The second
year class is divided into two sections, A and B, each section to
meet on alternate weeks. The work consists of the preparation and
delivery of arguments and opinions of law on statements of facts
assigned beforehand. All statements of facts are to be delivered to
the counsel in the case by October 1. Each professor presides af
three cases consecutively. The chief counsel, two on each side, hold
a conference with the Instructor in Forensics four weeks before the
day set for argument at an hour appointed on the Bulletin Board;
at this conference, each side presents (in separate consultation) an
outline of the proposed argument, in the form of brief propositions
without citation of authorities, and the Instructor makes such
criticism and revision as may seem desirable. One week beforehand
the counsel on each side post on the official bulletin board a copy
of their final brief, with citation of authorities, in type-writing, or

�14

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

plain hand-writing on legal cap paper, and hand another copy to
the opposing side. 011 the day of argument, a Professor presides as
judge, with two members of the section as associate judges. Each
attorney assigned is allowed a period for argument in chief. All
the other members ·of the same section attend, and each member,
not assig11ed as counsel or judge, makes an argument, not to exceed
five minutes, in at least every other case, i. e., at least once every
four weeks. The Instructor in Forensics then makes such criticism
as ma'y appear necessary, and the presiding judge then does the
same. An opinion is written by the associate judges and filed at
the Secretary's office not later than one week after the date of argument. The mark of each member of the section is determined by
his work as counsel, assigned and unassigned, and as judge. No
student shall · be recommended for a degree (except by unanimous
vote of the Faculty) who has not satisfactorily done the work of
this course;. except that persons entering the third year class from
another School may by vote be excused from this work.
b. Public Debate. A student entering the preliminary contests for the Towle Prizes for Public Speaking in April, and being
selected for the second preliminary and taking part therein, may
receive a credit of one term hour. No student shall be eligible for
this contest who has not taken the work of I, a, b and c, or the
equivalent in another School.
The third year work is as follows :
Ill. a. Legal Advice Clubs. All third year students may enter
·Legal Advice Clubs, formed by voluntary selection on or before
October 10, supplemented by assignments to vacancies by the Secretary of the School; each club to contain not less than four nor more
than six members, and to elect a Secretary. Difficult cases arising
in actual practice, sent in for advice for alumni or other practitioners, will be submitted to the Clubs in rotation as the cases come
in. On 24 hours' notice to the Secretary of the Club, the Club is
to meet the Dean or a Professor specially in charge, at 3 :15 P. M.,
in his office, and to discuss the questions involved; a written opinion,
citing authorities, is to be handed the Professor specially in charge

THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION.

The Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago has
established a branch which carries on work in the three
Schools in the University Building. In addition to its
religious work, the Association is of service to the students
in many ways. In the pleasant rooms, placed at its disposal
by the University, the Association maintains a very popular
social center with a well selected list of reading material,
several games and a piano. Throughout the year the list of
rooms and boarding places is kept for the use of students in
settling in the city.
All students are invited to make the Association rooms
their headquarters during the year. As far as possible new
students will be met at the train by an Association man
wearing a badge. Those desiring to be so met will please
write a few days in advance to Y. M. C. A., Northwestern
University Building, Chicago, indicating clearly on what
train they are to reach Chicago, and over what road they
are to come.

��I. ANNOUNCEMENT OF ANNUAL MEETING AND
BANQUET OF THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
CHICAGO, April 12, 1907.
To THE ALUMNI OF THE NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAw
SCHOOL, CHICAGO.
Ge:ntlemen:-Our annual banquet will be held at the
Midday Club of Chicago ( on the 17th floor of the First
National Bank Building) on the evening of Friday, the 3d
of May. The date. has been placed earlier than usual, so
that we. may have a larger attendance than the June meetings have hitherto brought out, for by then many of our
members have gone on their vacations, and it is difficult to
tempt them back to town.
This year we shall have with us the man who is probably
our most widely known, and one of our most distinguished
alumni, the Hon. William Jennings Bryan, of the class of
1883. Mr. Bryan and Herbert Spencer Hadley, '94, Attorney General of Missouri, will be two of the speakers of the
evening, and those of us who have had the pleasure of hearing them will realize that this is an opportunity not to be
lost. We also hope to have with us Gov. Chas. S. Deneen,
of the class of 1886, but official duties make his attendance
somewhat uncertain.
Our annual banquet is the one occasion in the year when
it is possible for us to meet each other socially, and informally to renew old acquaintances.
With our common interest-the law-we are bound to
find much that is congenial in such a gathering, besides
much that is profitable. Although the age for the deep
sentiment of college friendships is past when we take up
the study of our life's profession, the friends and acquaintances we do make then are of the utmost importance to us
later on. These annual reunions are the greatest help in keeping us in touch with each other. The standing and
3

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

popularity of our school is such that there is hardly a large
town throughout the West that has not a Northwestern man
among the members of the bar. This is a great resource
to us when we have to choose a correspondent in another
city, for we cannot doubt the thorough knowledge of the
law and the integrity of one who has been through the same
mill as ourselves. We should keep so in touch with each
other that instead of having to refer to a law directory,
where the payment of the necessary advertiser's fee is often
the only reason for the appearance of an attorney's name
there, we could call upon a fellow alumnus and feel confident of his ability and reliability.
Very few of us realize the great influence which our
alumni exercise throughout the West.
There is hardly a Western state that has not one of our
graduates among the members of its legislature or on its
bench. Attorney General Herbert S. Hadley, of Missouri,
is a graduate of the class of '94. William H. Dickinson,
Attorney General of Colorado, graduated in the class of
'92. Frederick S. Nave, of the class of '97, is Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court of Arizona. Homer B. Dibell,
'90, is a Judge of the Minnesota Court at Du.luth, and there
are many others in similar posts of honor.
Fully half of the prominent members of the Chicago Bar
are graduates of our school; among them are included:
Judge Kenesaw M. Landis, '91, United States District Court ;
Chief Justice Harry Olson, '91, of the Chicago Municipal
Courts; Judges Richard W. Clifford, '74; George A. Dupuy,
'82; Willard M. McEwen, '87; Merritt W. Pinckney, '80 ;
Ben Smith, '90 ; Frederick A. Smith, '67, of the Circuit and
Superior Courts, and Judge Judson F. Going, '85, of the
Munic'ipal Court.
The Secretary of the Alumni Association has a card catalogue of the alumni geographically arranged, and he hopes
to have this printed in order to make the list available to
each member of the Association.

So let us try to know each other better. It is something
that can only be accomplished by coming in contact with
one another informally as we do at our annual banquets.
Please make a special effort to be present at this next
banquet as we want to make it the best one we have ever
had, and pave the way for many similar ones and a better
acquaintance among ourselves.
Very truly yours,

The Library- Hon . Elbert H. Gary, ' 67, of New
York City, presented the Law School, on February 28, 1907,
with the library of the late Professor Moritz Voigt, of
Leipzig.
Professor Voigt was one of the most distinguished modern
scholars on Roman and Civil Law, and his library of about
4,000 volumes represents the lifetime collections of an
authority on these subjects. Some idea of its comprehensiveness may be had by the fact that it is rivalled by only one
similar collection in this country, and that it contains the
writings of nearly every known author of note on Roman
and Civil Law. The work of packing and shipping is now
going on, and the library will probably be delivered early
in the coming summer.
Through Mr. Gary's generosity the Law School ·library
now contains all of the official editions of the reports and
statutes of the different American states; duplicate sets of
U. S. Reports; the complete Reporter System, partly in
duplicate; the best law magazine, digests, encyclop~dias and
selected cases; a complete set of original English Reports,
including one of the earliest editions of the Year Books;
the Revised Reports, Law Reports and English Ruling
Cases ; an excellent collection of English and American
treatises; and exhaustive collections on Modern Continental
Law, Ancient and Oriental Law, International Law, English
Legal Historical Material and Roman Law.
For the purpose of making the library of the greatest
possible benefit to the alumni and to the community yearly

�IV. THE ILLINOIS LAW REVIEW
The Illinois Law Review has just brought to a close
the first year of its existence. The April number, the concluding number of the volume, has just been mailed. The
completed book lies before us on our desk and we are proud
of our handiwork. Every alumnus of the school ought to
be proud of it. We believe that every alumnus who knows
the Review is proud of it. For we have produced a magazine that is a credit not only to its editors and founders; not
only to the school which it represents, but to those who are
and who have been students in the school. It reflects the
very spirit of Northwestern. In appearance, it is unsurpassed by any, and in the quality and character of its contents, it is the peer of any legal magazine published. This
is not an idle boast. It is merely echoing the sentiments of
many members of the bench and bar throughout the state.
Though but a year old, the Review has met with unqualified
success. It has been vigorously pushed and, as a result, it
has subscribers in every part of Illinois.
While its success has been great, the Review has
received the largest measure of its support, by far, from
lawyers outside of the .t:,.lumni Association. This is rather
an anamalous condition for a school publication. We ought
to have more subscribers among the alumni. If our magazine interests, so greatly, the lawyer who does not care
whether it is connected with the school or not, how much
more ought it to appeal to you, you who have attended and
graduated from Northwestern? The Review is not a moneymaking proposition. The editors have given their work
gratuitiously; contributors have received no compensation
for their contributions. Ought not they who have so freely
given their time and labor to the good work of helping the
school and producing something that will reflect credit on
the school and all connected with it, ought not they to be

encouraged by, at least, the support of the alumni of the
school? Will not they put forth even greater efforts, when
they know that their work is being appreciated by their old
associates? The expense of publishing a magazine of the
quality of the Review is very great. The standard set during
the past year will not be lowered, and we believe that every
alumnus should be glad to assist an enterprise of this character, at least, with his subscription.
In asking for your support, we are not soliciting alms.
The Review is worth every bit of three dollars a year, the
subscription price, and on examination you will admit it.
Each month we publish two or three leading articles exhaustively treating topics of Illinois Law and discussing
matters of general interest. These articles are written by
lawyers who know their subject. The Index-Digest of the
Appellate Court Decisions is of the greatest practical value.
The bound volumes of the reports are a year behind, and
this is the only practical method of keeping down to date
with the decisions of the Appellate Court. Then we comment on the decisions of the Illinois Supreme Court, showThese notes are
ing their relation to prior decisions.
written by members of the faculty and to many, this constitutes the most valuable department in the book. Editoriais
and book reviews complete the number.
We sincerely trust that you will not delay acquainting
yourself with the Review. Write us and we shall be glad to
mail you a sample copy.

�CHRONICLES OF THE LAW SCHOOL.
1. LEGAL COURSE FOR BANKERs.-Commencing Tuesday,
September 25, the Law School will offer a course in the law
applicable to banks and banking. This course is given at
the request of the members of the Chicago Chapter of the
American Institute of Bank Clerks and is the result of an
increasing demand by banks throughout the country for the
services of men possessing some substantial knowledge of
the law relating to banks and banking. The course does
not aim in any measure to prepare men for the practice of
law, but will be limited strictly to instruction in the subjects
hereinafter named so far as they relate to the special feature
of law that is heing studied. At present the Institute of
Bank Clerks provides for instruction through a correspondence course directed by instructors in two recognized Eastern law schools; the course in this school is designed to
offer to its members who may be able to attend personally
the advantage of residence work over that of correspondence
study.
The course will cover a period of nine months, during
which. the following named subjects will be taken up, the
number of lectures following each subject: Contracts, 40;
Bills and Notes, 24; Corporations, 16; Trusts, 10; Agency,
10 ; Partnership, 8; Municipal Corporations, 6; Suretyship,
10; Bankruptcy, 4.
The subject of Contracts, which will occupy the first
lectures, will be treated more broadly than the other subjects
and will be completed, or nearly so, before any other is commenced. An examination will also be given on Contracts
when completed, whereas examinations in the remaining
subjects will be given at the end of the entire course.
Requirements for admission to this course are (a) membership in the American Institute of Bank Clerks; and (b)

ability to pursue the studies, which ability shall be determined by the instructor. Students registered in the
course will be considered as special students in the Law
School and will be entitled to all library privileges. Should
any person after satisfactorily completing this course register
as a candidate for a degree, and meet the requirements of
the school governing admission as a regular student, such
person may receive credit for work done in this course.
Students satisfactorily completing the course will be given
a certificate setting forth the satisfactory completion of the
Legal Course for Bankers.
The fee for the course will be $35, payable $15 within
ten days after registration, $10 January 10, and $10 April 1.
All students registering at the beginning of the course will
be obligated for the entire fee of $35. Students will be
required to purchase certain books to be used throughout
the year, the cost of which will not exceed $12. This cost
to the individual can doubtless be reduced by two or three
students purchasing and using together one set of books.
The first session will be held in Hoyne Hall, at the Law
School, Tuesday, September 25, 1906, at 5.30 p. m., and at
this session the regular hour for lectures and the number
of sessions per week will be determined.
For further information, inquiries may be addressed to
Mr. John Williams, care First National Bank, Chicago; or,
the Secretary of the Law School, Northwestern University
Building, Chicago.

LETTER FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.

CHICAGO, January, 1907.
To THE ALUMNI OF THE ScHooL oF LAw
OF NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.
Brethren:-! beg to call the attention of all alumni
to the list of names printed herewith. This list comprises
the names and addresses of only those graduates living outside of Illinois, whose residence is noted on the records of
the Secretary. This list is very incomplete and doubtless
contains many errors. It contains less than one-third of the
names of all living graduates outside of Illinois; some have
doubtless died or moved from the addresses here given.
For the purpose, therefore, of perfecting and making this
list as complete as possible, you are urged to examine it
carefully and to send me any of the following desired information you may be able to give relating to yourself or
any other alumnus of whom you may have knowledge and
whose name may not appear in this list, or if in the list may
be incorrectly stated:
1. Correct name and address.
2. Present occupation.
3. Name of any public office held or now occupied.
4. Death of any alumnus and if possible date of decease
and name and address of any surviving member of family.

This list will be published and distributed as corrected
and will be of value not only to the School but to all
graduates.
I would further remind you of the annual banquet of
the Association to be held in Chicago about June 15 and
to urge you to arrange to be present for your own profit
and as one way of giving evidence of your loyalty to the
3

�4

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

School. Arrangements are now being made to make this
an interesting meeting, one of the features of which will
be an address by an alumnus of national reputation.
In closing permit me to call to your attention the duty
you owe to the School of not only informing the Secretary of
the School of the names and addresses of prospective law
students but of making it your business to place before such
persons the advantages of your school. The School has a
right to rely upon you to do this and only by exercising
your interest in this way can it obtain that increase in attendance which is necessary to maintain its prestige among
the leading law schools, now more than ever warranted by
reason of its equipment and facilities fo r instruction.
Very truly yours,
ALBERT KEEP, 2ND,

Secretary of the Alumni Association, 500 The Temple,
Chicago.

LETTER FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE
LAW SCHOOL.
CHICAGO, January, 1907.
LA w

THE ALUMNI OF THE SCI-IOOL OF

OF NORTHWESTER N UNIVERSITY:

Inasmuch as the development of the Law School is of
interest to its Alumni, not only because of their loyalty
to it, but also because of the enlarged scope of its
usefulness to them, it seems proper for the secretary of the
Law School to inform them of the progress and improvement the school is making. Hence your attention is called to
the recent great increase of the library facilities of the School
which has been made possible through the generosity of Hon.
Elbert H. Gary '67, now a resident of New York City.
Mr. Gary's gifts of the past few years have placed the
School in this particular among the foremost in the United
States and have very greatly increased its sphere of usefulness. The first instalment of the Gary Collection of Modern
Continental Law was received in 1903 and it is now substantially complete. It represents the twenty-three independent countries of Continental Europe with their dependencies. The material of each country is divided as follows: ( 1) Codes or systematic laws in the original lang uage and in French or German in all in stances where a
translation has been made; (2) complete files of the decisions of the supreme court of Justice; (3) leading law journals; ( 4) representative treatises on the body of contemporary law and important single topics, and treatises upon
the history of the law. Continuations to the laws, decisions
and periodicals are added as they are published so that the
collection is in every sense modern. Its practl'tal value is
being demonstrated by a rapidly increasing number of consultations, not only by Chicago lawyers but by officials of
9

�10

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

foreign governments, students, lawyers and persons engaged
in research or study of comparative legislation from all
points in the United States. The fact that this is the most
complete collection of its kind in existence and the growing
tendency of legislators to compare foreign laws relating to
any proposed new legislation and to profit thereby has been
aided and will be much increased by the location of the
library at this central point.
During the last year Mr. Gary has enabled the School
to make the following additions:
( 1) American official State Reports and English Reports. The collection of Official State Reports has been
completed, so that in An,erican reports, the library now contains, or has contracted for, all State and Territorial Reports, duplicate sets of Illinois and United States Reports,
the entire West Reporter System, partly in duplicate, and
a complete collection of Statutes and Codes with session
laws, bringing the printed laws of each State to date.
The set of English Reports, original edition, has been
completed and a set of Year Books published about the year
1600 added, thus making with the Reprint Edition, Law
Reports, Leading Cases and Mew's English Digest, an excellent collection of English material.
(2) English Historical Material. The first installment
of this collection has been received and is now accessible to
patrons of the library. Among the titles of some of the
volumes already received are Horne's Mirror of Justice,
1646; Horseman's Precedents in Conveyancing, 1757; Sheppard's Touchstone of Common Assurances, 1648; Sheppard's Precedent of Precedents, 1655 ; Ancient Kalendars
and Inventories of the Exchequer ( Palgrove), 1836; Office
of Clerk of Assize, 1682; Bacon's Historical and Discourse
on the Laws, etc., of England, 1647; Book of Oaths 1649;
Bridgman's Conveyances; Select Precedents, 1682, 1689,
1699, 1725; Jtnes' Works, 1650; Gibson's Codex Juris Ecclesiastici Anglicani, 1671; Stanford's Prerogatives, 1577;
Stillingfleet's Ecclesiastical Cases, 1704 ; Perkins' Profitable

�LETTER FROM SECRET ARY OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

11

Book, 1584 ; Praxis Utrinsque Banci, 1674; Pulling's Laws,
Customs, etc., of London, 1842; Fulton's Statutes, 1632 ;
Brownlow's Brevia Judicilia, 1662; East's Pleas of the
Crown, 1803; Fitzherbert's New Natura Brevium, 1567,
1598 and 1730. From these few titles some idea may be
had of the volumes in this collection, many of them books
of exceeding rarity, duplicates of which are not to be found
in the United States. It is believed that the location of this
collection here will stimulate interest among members of the
bar in the study of the history, and the growth and development of our system of law, in addition to its being of much
value in questions arising in practice.
The acquisition of this collection has been made possible,
after the gift of Mr. Gary, by the extraordinary knowledge
and diligence of Mr. Soule, of the Boston Book Company.
( 3) International Law. A part of this collection has
been received and placed on the library shelves. When complete it will include all printed material relating to Amer1can international Law not now readily accessible to residents
of Chicago and the vVest, and in addition will include the
most important publications of all th e Euorpean governments and all leading French, German, or English treatises,
including translations from other languages.
( 4) Ancient and Oriental Law: A large part of this
collection is now on the library shelves. Its nucleus was
formed by selections from the libraries of Professors
Darmesteter, Gaston Paris, and three other savants of
France. When completed it is intended to include all available material of the Hindu, Mohammedan, Hebrew, Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Chinese and Japanese systems, as
well as the primitive tribal laws of Africa, etc. In its scope
this collection is not exceeded by any library, and it is
already of great value to persons engaged in research in
law, politics or history.
A cordial invitation is extended to all alumni to avail
themselves of the priviliges of the library. A nominal fee
of one dollar per year is charged them and a fee of four

�12

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

dollars per year is charged other members of the bar. The
School in extending this invitation is not attempting to
compete in any way with any other Chicago law library, but
simply aims to be of service to the young practitioner or to
one whose practice does not warrant the payment of the
larger fee charged by other libraries ; to keep the bar in
touch with the School; and to cause such an excellent collection of material as is contained in the library to be of the
greatest public benefit.
The secretary would be very glad to furnish any further
information that may be desired concerning the School and
its library facilities.
Very truly yours,
FREDERIC B. CROSSLEY,
Secretary of the Law School, Northwestern University

SCHEDULE OF HOURS.
The schedule of hours is so arranged that the courses are given
in general as follows : first year courses, between two and five
o'clock in the afternoon; second year courses, between nine and
tw elve o'clock in the morning; third year courses, between three
and seven o'clock in the afternoon. The Practice Court is held in
the evening 11t half past seven.
SPECIAL TRAINING IN LEGAL WRITING AND SPEAKING
AND IN THE PRACTICE OF THE LAW.
In addition to the systematic instruction in the body of the law,
as represented in the foregoing curriculum, an effort is made to provide adequate training in the practical use of legal knowledge and
discipline, as well as in certain important details of legal writing
and speaking, which help materially to equip the accomplished lawyer.
The various branches of work directed to this end are as follows :
I. Pleadings and Other Instruments-In the courses on Common
Law Pleading, Code Pleading, and Equity Pleading, in addition to
the systematic course of study, the student is given exercises in the
drafting of the various kinds of pleadings. In Corporations, the
class is formed, during the second term, into two corporations, which
organize, elect officers, issue stock, enlarge capital, keep books, consolidate, and do various other acts of corporate business which call
for the drafting of instruments and otherwise familiarize the student
with the modes of using the legal knowledge acquired. In the other
courses, particularly Commercial Paper, Carriers, Insurance, and the
like, particular attention is paid to the study of forms of instruments
m common use.
.
2. Conveyancing-In the course on conveyancing the chief material of the work consists in a series of selected abstracts of title,
some fifteen in a-11, representing the greatest variety of documents
and proceedings involving property rights. A separate copy of each
abstract is placed in the hands of every member of the class, and a
detailed study is made of the various matters of form and substance
from the conveyancer's point of view, and with regard to the laws
of the different States. Thorough work in this course ought to
equip the student as a practical conveyancer at the time of his entering upon his profession. No one may take this co.u rse who has not
already taken the courses Property I and II.

�LEGAL WRITING, SPEAKING, AND PRACTICE.

3. Practice Court-In the several courses of lectures on Procedure and Practice a systematic and detailed survey is taken of the
rules of law. In the Practice Court an opportunity is given to the
third-year students to become practically familiar with these rules
by the personal application of them in litigation managed by the
student himself. The Court's session are held weekly, on Thursday evenings, for two hours. During each session from one to three
cases are tried, with and without a jury; and other cases are disposed of in various aspects. In the mean time, between the sessions,
numbers of causes are being prepared and advanced from stage
to stage by the student-attorneys · in charge. While the proceedings are dispatched, at the hearings, by the respective attorneys,
all other members of the class are required to attend and make
notes and reports of the work being done, so that each one obtains
some benefit also from what is done in his presence by others. A
faithful observance of the work of this course ought to give the
graduate such an experience in using his legal knowledge as will
assist him materially to start in his profession with greater readiness
and practical facility. The systematic pursuit of such work under
an experienced instructor obtains for the student the same results
as a period of desultory service in a law office, and is more economical in time and more thorough and accurate in quality. A copy of
the printed Rules of the Practice Court will be mailed to any one
upon request.
4. Legal Tactics-For the past three years, on every Monday
evening until April, an address was given, by some well-known
member of the Bar, · upon some topic of practice in which he had
had special experience, and in which the communication of personal
experience was of special value as a guide to others. This course
has been of particular value to young practitioners already -at the
Bar, and will be repeated in r905-r906, with some variations.
5. Thesis-It is the desire of the Faculty to encourage original
research by students. Any member of the third-year class may
therefore obtain credit to an amount not exceeding two term hours
by presenting a satisfactory thesis upon some legal topic approved
by a member of the Faculty before . December 1st. The thesis must
be presented on or before May r5th of the year in which the student
expects to graduate; it must be printed on the typewriter or otherwise, and is to be kept permanently in the school. The work should
be begun not later than December.
6. Legal Forensics; Revised Regulations for 1905-6. The function of a lawyer, as the persuasive adviser and leader of
men, needs for its development some training in- oral argument and debate, use of the voice, conduct of meetings,

�12

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

and the like. The instruction hitherto provided under the heads
of Public Speaking and Moot Courts has been consolidated into
a single graded course continuing through the three years.
The work in ·this course shall be required for graduation, beginning with all persons entering in 1904. Persons entering with
advanced standing who have not taken equivalent work elsewhere
are subject to the remaining requirements, applicable to the class
which they enter, except that a candidate for a degree in one year
may be exempted from specified parts of the work, or may be required to substitute the second year for the· third year work.
The course at large is entitled Forensic Writing and Speaking.
In the first year it is entitled, Forensics, Lectures and Exercises;
in the second year, Moot Court and Public Debate; in the third
year, Practical Legal Advice.

the subjects of the respective courses shall be posted not later than
March I.
For work done in; parts a (i), b, c, and d, combined, a credit of
one term hour is to be allowed.
The second year work is as follows :
II. · a. Moat Courts. In the second year a Moot Court shall
be held every Friday from November I to May I, at I :45 P. M.

statements of facts assigned beforehand. All statements of facts
shalt be delivered to the counsel in the case by October I. Each
Professor shall preside at three cases consecutively. The chief
counsel, two on each side, shall hold a conference with the presiding Professor four weeks before the day set for argument at an
hour appointed on the Bulletin Board; at this conference, each side
shall present (in separate consultation) an outline of the proposed
argument, in the form of brief propositions without citation of
authorities, and the Professor shall make such criticism and revision as may seem desirable. One week beforehand, counsel on
each side shall post on the official bulletin board a copy of their
final brief, with citation of authorities in type-writing, or plain handwriting on legal cap paper, and he shall hand another copy to the
opposing side. On the day of argument, the Professor· shall preside
as judge, with two members of the section as associate judges. Each
attorney assigned shall be allowed not more than ten minutes for
argument in chief. All the other members of the same section,
shall attend, and each member, not assigned as counsel or judge,
shall make an argument, not to exceed five minutes, in at least
every other case, i. e., at least once every four weeks. The assigned
counsel shall then have not more than five minutes each for closing.
The instructor of Public Speaking shall then make such criticism
as may appear necessary, and the presiding judge shall then do the
same, this closing stage to be allotted not more than twenty minutes.
An opinion shall be written by the associate judges and filed at the
Secretary's office not later than one week after the date of argument.
The mark of each member of the section shall be determined by
his work as counsel, assigned and unassigned, and as judge. No
student shall be recommended for a degree ( except by unanimous
vote of the Faculty) who has not satisfactorily done the work of
this course; except that persons entering the third year class from
another School may by vote be excused from this work

ORGANIZING AND ADVISING A CORPORATION.

BY LEVY MAYER, ESQ.

An Address Delivered in Booth Hall, Monday, February 6, r905, in
the Course on Legal Tactics.
PROFESSOR Lours MAY GREELEY (introducing the speaker):
It is to be our privi)ege this evening to listen to a discourse upon an important and interesting subject by one who is a
master of it. The great corporate enterprises which are the distinct
feature of the industrial and business development of today have
afforded the lawyer his greatest opportunity for fame - and for
fortune. To organize one of these mighty corporations requires
legal talent of no ordinary sort. To advise such a corporation successfully in the multitude of perplexing legal situations which surround it, by reason of their varied operations, call for even rarer
legal attainments. It has been said by an eminent New York lawyer
that the modern corporation lawyer should be first and foremost
a man of business, who finds in the directors' meeting, rather than
in the courts or arena, his field; and that he need concern himself
little with Kent, with Blackstone, or with masters of the general
law. Such views as these can hardly be received with enthusiasm
by those of us who are engaged in this systematic teaching of the
general law. I know not whether Mr. Mayer will agree with Mr.
Dill or not; but this I do know, that· Mr. Mayer was well known
in this community as a thorough, successful, general practitioner
even before he had attained national reputation as an organizer and
officer of great corporations . He, therefore, is able, qualified, and
capable to talk upon any question of corporations as an expert. I
take great pleasure in introducing to you, on behalf of the Faculty of
this School, th e speaker of this evening, Mr. Levy Mayer, of the
Chicago bar, who will address you on the subject, "Organizing and
Advising a Corporation."
MR. LEVY MAYER: I have not prepared a set speech, only an
informal discourse. I never do. I don't mean to indicate that I
either go into court or into the consultation room unprepared; but
I shall talk to you tonight as the topics occur to me.
I do not know whether it will be fair to you to start out by a
discussion of the conundrums and obstacles that lie in the way
of the legal formation of the larger corporations. If it be your
21

experience as it was mine, the probability will be that the capacity
for the formation of larger corporations will not come during the
first few years of your professional career. That does not mean,
however, that the experience which you will be gaining in the
formation and advising of incipient and smaller corporations will
not stand you well in hand. Speaking personally, I believe that the
experience that I had during the first ten years that I was at the
bar in the rough and tumble part of the practice of attachment su\ts
and replevin suits, and all the various suits known to a lawyer in
his first years, have helped me to formulate certain knowledge of
principles, which I believe have been by far the better and more
advantageous part of my legal education.
In the formation of a corporation, immediately at the threshhold, two or three prominent factors will present themselves. I
am assuming now, that the project will be a legitimate, bona fide
corporation, laying aside mere schemes and corporate balloons. I
shall endeavor to address myself to that part of a corporate existence
which occupies the field of legitimate enterprise·; and it does not
at all follow, because a corporation is a large one in its aggregate
corporate securities, that it is either a fake or a myth.
Take as an illustration, we will say, a corporation whose assets
are from a million to five millions of dollars. Let us assume that
you are now in your own office; that you have either the good or
bad fortune to have a committee of men wait upon you to discuss
the legal formation of a legitimate corporation, and I assume, of
course, that your offices where you will be consulted are here in Chicago, governed by the law of Illinois. Reputable merchants, with
successful, industrial enterprises are now in your office conferring
with you from the initial point, in reference to the formation of a
corporation-not necessarily for public flotation, but a corporation
into which can be poured certain individual properties belonging
either to individuals as persons, or individuals as distinct corporations.
The first question that your client will ask, and which you will
necessarily be called upon to answer will be: Where shall this
corporation be organized? Now what are the salient features that
guide your legal judgment in giving this advice? First and foremost, necessarily first, will be the question of expense. And that
i. a matter which you can readily determine by looking at any one
of a dozen different publications in which there will be scheduled
the amount of the fee to be paid to the particular State for granting the charter, and next; the amount of tax that will be collected
of the corporation annually. These are things that you can measure
with a tape rule of a hundred cents on the dollar. They are im-

portant only in enabling yon to advise your client what the actual
cash outlay will be to complete the formation, and, after its formation, to continue the legal existence of the corporation. Those items
are important where the capitalization of the corporation runs into
large figures; but, as I have said, these are matters that you can
determine merely by the eye, and almost without the use "of the
brain, because they are printed and can be found in almost every
law office, published in parallel tables, which indicate what the
charges are. Your client, of course, will be interested in knowing
what the expense of the formation will be, and what the annual tax
will be. Those preliminaries once gotten over, you are confronted
with propositions for which only years of experience can even
furnish the slightest assistance in helping you to arrive at a fairly
proper conclusion. The purpose of the corporation, its objects, and
the place where it proposes to do business, are extremely important
features, whether it is undertaking to acquire the ownership of
properties or the ownership of the capital stock of corporations
which in turn own the properties.
A concrete illustration will serve my purpose. An individual
proprietor owning property in New York, in the shape of a manufacturing concern ; another proprietor owning property of a similar
character in the state of Pennsylvania; another in Ohio; another
in Illinois. I select those states arbitrarily, not becau.se they will
create greater or less difficulty than will the laws of any of the other
states. Now assume that individual ownership is corporate ownership, That is to say, that the property in New York is owned by
an individual, which is a corporation, and so on in Ohio, Pennsylvania and in Illinois. So that the new corporation, which is to be
formed, will immediately, when organized, have in hand an enterprise the conducting of whose business will extend into, if not
over, four different states. The question will be propounded to
you by your client, and by yourself, where shall that corporation be
organized? If you organize it in Illinois, you are confroi1ted by
the proposition that an Illinois corporation cannot acquire and
legally own capital stock of other corporations. In other words,
the capital stock of your New York, your Pennsylvania and your
Ohio corporations cannot legally be acquired, owned and controlled
by your Illinois corporation. Thereupon, you say to your client,
this corporation, if we form it in Illinois, cannot own the capital
stock of those other companies. You advise your client to acquire
in the new company the actual ownership of the properties in the
different states. Your client replies that it won't subserve his purpose, that he wants to keep the enterprises distinct and separate
entities. They have different names; they have different good-wills

�24

in their corporate formation ; so he insists that those corporate existing entities shall continue in their individual separate, distinct
existence. Then you reply, and you will reply legally, that this
corporation cannot be legally formed under the law of Illinois, so
as to successfully stand absolutely free from legal attack. Your
client ~vill ask, and you will answer, that under the law of this
state, this new corporation, if formed here, cannot own stock. Your
client will say, and the question arises at once, whether you are
going to acquire all of the capital stock of those separate existing
distinct companies in those different states. And if your client
says all that stock is to be acquired, then your reply will be that
such a corporation if organized here, cannot continue, but will be
subject to the possible attack by the State officials as represented
by the Attorney-General or State's A ttorney. I have known of no
instance in my practice where such a corporation has been attacked
either by the State or county officials, that is either, the State's Attorney or Attorney-General. I refer now to corporations whose
business .is of a private nature. I do not think that in twenty-five
years, if ever, in this State, has the Attorney-General or the State's
Attorney attacked such a formation. And yet the very fact that
now the law opens the door to such an attack, and that such an
attack, if made, will probably be · successful, will immediately lead
you, as it should lead you, if you are circumspect and conservative,
to advise a different domicile, a different locality for the corporation.
And that is one of the main reasons, that is probably the leading
or principal reason why corporations of the larger character, embracing properties located in different States, seek refuge under the
laws of a State where such a course is permissible.
Now, I have said only lawyers who are conservative should advise corporations. I say that with very much premeditation. Individuals, like States of the Union, have very great power, practically unlimited power in their rights, except in a few instances
where the States are restricted by the National Constitution, and
where the individuals are restricted by State laws. Corporations,
on the other hand, occupy just the extreme antipodes of that position. They have no power except those which are expressly and
necessarily implied. Therefore, in advising an individual, you are
entirely free from the necessity of ascertaining or inquiring if the
individual is a citizen of the United States, and not an alien. You
are entirely free from all occasion, free from all necessity of inquiring what the law permits him to do, because the law permits him
to do everything, except in some instances where the criminal code
is applicable. But not so with the corporation. Your inquiry into
the law as to the corporation must be, what does the law permit

�--------------

r

25

him to do? With the individual the question is, what does the law
prohibit him from doing? So that I say the necessity of conservatism an"d care on the part of the lawyer who advises a corporation is much greater than the care that is expected or required of
the same lawyer advising individuals with reference to interests of
the same _m agnitude.
Coming back to the concrete case that I have been talking about.
Once being satisfied that your client insists upon keeping the corporate existence of the separate corporation intact, you must inevitably conclude that an absolutely safe forum or domicile will
not be the State of Illinois. Then you are confronted with the
question, if you cannot organize in Illinois with absolute safety,
where will you go? As a lawyer, you will investigate, and you will
pick out some State under whose laws corporations can be organized,
and by the Legislature are permitted in the express charter entered
into for their existence, to hold stock in other companies ( without
undertaking in any way, in any remarks that I am about to make
to you tonight, to say what State is a preferable State in -which
such a corporation should be organized). There are a number of
those States whose Jaws are liberal, such as New Jersey, Maine,
West Virginia, New York, and several others that may be indicated, as North and South Dakota. Those are unimportant questions in the discussion that I am indulging in, except if your client
have in mind the formation of a company for public exploitation.
There much depends upon sentiment. People are perhaps more ready
to buy securities in a corporation organized under the laws of an
older established State, whose laws have become crystallized-at
least more so than they probably would be in a corporation organized
under the laws of North or South Dakota or Arizona.
I am still confining myself to a corporation, which, though comparatively large in its capitalization, is yet a privately-classed company; because when you come to the formation of a company whose
purpose is to distribute its stock among the people, whose purpose
as a corporation is that its stock is to be listed on the exchanges
of the country, other and sometimes far more important questions
will come before you for serious consideration. For instance, you
have made up your mind that the Illinois corporation laws are not
broad enough to permit you, with absolute safety, to form such a
company as we are considering; so immediately you go into another
State where the laws are sufficiently broad. There you are confronted with the problem, if you organize in New York or New
Jersey or elsewhere, and the laws of that State permit one corporation to own stock in other corporations, or certain other corporations, what will you do with Illinois where a substantial part of the

�BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.
property of this proposed corporation exists? The laws of this
State, as I have indicated, are now settled that the corporation cannot own stock under the circums.tances. Then the query- immediately
arises, can a corporation of New York acquire capital stock of an
~rganization organized under the laws of the State of Illinois? You
no sooner jump from one problem that you think you have answered, than you are confronted with a problem of equal, if not
greater, difficulty. You think you have avoided that obstacle created
by the Illinois law against holding corporate stock, but you have
found a State whose Legislature permits a company to own stock
in other corporations. Then you meet with another corporation
law of Illinois, which provides that no foreign corporation, doing
business in Illinois, has any greater power than a domestic corporation . Bear in mind that a large part of this property of this proposed corporation is located here, and your client insists it is sine
qtw non that the property must be taken in. We have gotten away
from Illinois, and have gotten into a State where you can form a
corporation with express power to hold stock in another corporation, and yet I say you are confronted with the law of Illinois,
which says that the corporation cannot do here what the domestic
corporation cannot do.
Well, what are you going to do about that? The acquisition of
the Illinois property is essential to the completion of your clients'
project, so it becomes necessary according to that to finally state
to your client that in order to be absolutely safe and be able to
work successfully with the property in Illinois, they had better abandon the idea of obtaining the capital stock of that corporation. He
will therefore probably conclude that the corporation shall become
the owner of the property in Illi~ois by absolute deed of conveyance of the property of the Illinois corporation. The foreign corporation, having complied with our laws in buying and filing its charter
and paying its license fee, is authorized to do business here, and
to make it absolute owner of the property.
But you will go one step further, and you will say to your client,
'if you are conservative and cautious, that your client had bettter
take the capital stock of this Illinois corporation for the purpose
of double security; and the result will be that the seller by disposing of his property to the new company, will, so far as Illinois is
concerned, have conveyed by deed the property to the New York
or New Jersey corporation; and also all of the capital stock of this
Illinois corporation will, by our conservative and cautious lawyer,
have been transferred so as to put it outside of the power of the
Illinois company, and then no shareholder in the Illinois company
can at any time interfere with the consummation or the continuation
of the project that you, as a lawyer, have had in hand.

But you may also meet the proposition, in the formation of this
particular corporation that you have in hand, that the owners of
all but one share of the capital stock of the Illinois company are
very anxious to get into the project, but they have in their midst
-the owner of one share, who, for reasons needless to be characterized, but yet being the owner of that share of stock, is entitled to
the panoply or the legal protection, which the law gives him, the
same as though he owned the larger part of that stock. Bear in
mind that in the formation of these larger corporations it is the
exception, and not the rule, that there is unanimity among the stockHuman nature is so constituted in the formation of
holders.
these enterprises, and the reward of success is so great, that occasionally you will find some zealous shareholder, who is not satisfied with the equitable and equal pro rata distribution of the purchase price.
Now, if you happened to be in Illinois, and you have been for
days and weeks conferring with your clients and never have succeeded in convincing them that they should not take the capital
stock, but should take the property, and when you are ready to
consummate the deal, you find there is this owner of one or ten shares
who says that he objects to the transaction. And if he does, unless
you are prepared to carry your project through, boldly but secretly,
there is no way known to the lawyer in this State by which such
a transaction can be at the present time successfully consummated
and protected. In order to avoid the effect of just such a situation,
a number of states like New Jersey and Maine and I think New
York have recently enacted legislation, which this State needs. By
that legislation, in the case of a protesting minority share-holder
(and I am assuming now that all of the transaction you have in
hand for your clients is utterly bona fide and free from taint of
fraud) by that legislation the interest of those protesting minority
share-holders can be condemned. That is to say, as in Maine, a
meeting is called, thirty days' notice (as I recall it) is given, and
if during those thirty days there is no protest against the sale, the
sale can be consummated; but if there is a protest, proceedings can
be instituted by the corporation in court to have the actual value
of the dissenting stock ascertained, and the decree, when satisfied,
is precisely like a decree or judgment condemning property under
the eminent domain law, with one exception. Under the eminent domain law, the judgment or decree of condemnation simply converts
the property to a public use, and when the public use is abandoned
it reverts to the original owners; while the stock, when condemned
under the laws of the States, as I have indicated, becomes absolutely
cancelled and wiped out. But that is only one of the features-

�28

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

I was almost tempted to say one of the little features-that will
confront you.
I am keeping you largely in the domain of Illinois, where I have
no doubt all of us are practicing or intend to practice. Now, coming to the formation of this corporation, no matter what State you
intend to incorporate in, you are asked to draw up the charter. And
let me in passing here say that no matter how versatile your talents
may be, no matter how broad your experience, and how acute your
knowledge, never, in the case of corporations, the magnitude of
whose enterprise justifies the expense, never rely exclusively upon
your own opinion as to what the law of another State is. Always,
nothwithstanding your investigations, notwithstanding the certainty
of your judgment, if the enterprise admits of the expense, I say
always, after your work is done, ask the opinion of local counsel
upon the work that is local to a foreign State.
Now, in the case I have put, you are forming this corporation
in Maine, or New Jersey, or New York, you have gotten over the
law of Illinois, and the law of those States, which may be similar
to Illinois; your client will next ask you, how about my liability in
the new company for the stock that is issued? Bear in mind that
the corporation that your client is forming is one large company,
one central company, into which he proposes to transfer the properties of smaller existing corporations, and, as his lawyer knows
and necessarily so, the capitalization of the new company will be
somewhat larger than the total capitalization of the formerly existing companies; and the reason is manifest. The existing corporations, one or more of them, may have a surplus, or one or more of
them may have a greater surplus than the others or a greater earning capacity than the others; the value of their good-will may exceed that of the value of one or more of the others. So, in the
forming of the new companies, those items are put in as assets. I
am assuming all the time that you have nothing to do with the business part of the proposition, that is, _with the actual value of the
items; with the success or unsuccess of the enterprise, but that you
are strictly on the right side of the line drawn between the business
end and the legal end.
If I may divert a bit here, Jet me by way of suggestion again
impress upon you, that when you step over the line which separates
the legal department of this enterprise from the business side, so
that you yourself ate becoming a factor in the business part, and
thus are a partner in the enterprise,-let me again caution you,
that when it occurs, if it ever does, that you are associated with
your clients in the business transaction, then your client needs
another lawyer. Don't forget that. The most embarrassing, the most

�ORGANIZING AND ADVISING A CORPORATION.

29

serious, and the most offensive difficulties that come into a law
office, where questions of this kind arrive for advice or litigation,
are the cases where a lawyer is called upon to deal with the transaction in which a brother lawyer has been the legal adviser and the
business partner in enterprises or business transactions of the kind
I am alluding to. The trait of human nature is not yet strong
enough by which the lawyer, who becomes a partner with his client,
can under all the circumstances advise that client, who is his partner,
with the full faith, sagacity and integrity, if there comes a conflict
of business interests, which professional honor and professional
ethics require of every lawyer who means to make, or deserves to
be, a success. It is a subject which is not infrequently overlooked
by most of the lawyers in their earlier associations with corporate
enterprises of that character. I don't mean that it happens every
time that a complication arises of the character that I have indicated,
but such cases are not, I am sorry to say, infrequent. Therefore,
in addition to one or two rules, if I may assume to call them rules,
rather postulates, if I may assume to suggest those to you, always
abstain from being the lawyer upon whom your client relies, if you
are connected with him as your partner in the enterprise.
But to come back to the point from which I digressed, the issuance of the stock of the corporation to pay for the properties to be
acquired by the new corporation. The new capitalization being as
I have indicated, probably, and in fact in almost every instance in
cases of the value of the physical property, you are confronted with
the question, how about making that stock free from the possibility
of assessment? As I have said, in West Virginia, New York, Maine
and other States (not so in Illinois), the law is that if the board of
directors in good faith take the property in payment for the capital
stock, then the capital stock is forever thereafter free from attack
of creditors or others on the ground of not being paid up. That
was one of the reasons, and an important reason, why so many
lawyers sought refuge in the States that I have named. It may,
however, be somewhat surprising to you when you are told that if
you organize in those States, your charter will provide, it must provide, something to protect you when you do business in other , States
-if you propose doing business not only in Maine or New Jersey
or New York, which is the principal place of your incorporation,
but in other States which your charter designates. I shall assume
that many of you have seen these charters. They are a sort of an
"A B C" now-a-days in almost every lawyer's office, and the printed
forms are distributed through the mail. Many of the larger corporations are formed in New Jersey, these charters indicating the
place or places, the State or States where the corporation will do
business as created.

�80

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

Now, this is a very sensitive situation. Suppose now that you
are forming a corporation in New Jersey, and your charter states
that you propose to do business in New Jersey, in New York where
a part of the property is located, in Pennsylvania, in Ohio, and in
Illinois. The United States Supreme Court has rendered a decision .
very recently, which has been a surprise to most of us lawyers, who
had believed that when a corporation formed in a particular State,
the law of that State measures the liability of its stockholders; in
other words, that if under the laws of New Jersey the stock be paid
up in the manner I have indicated, then a stockholder is forever
free from liability. . But recently the Supreme Court has held that
where a corporation is organized in one State for the purpose of
doing business in specific other States, then those who become stockholders in such a corporation become liable under the laws of those
States specifically named in the charter. The_case is found-well,
I am not going to weary you with citations; being from the Federal
Supreme Court, it will be undoubtedly followed in most of the
States. This decision applied to a Colorado corporation, which was
formed under the laws of that State, and in its charter it asked the
power to do business in California. But it so happens that under
the laws of California the stockholders are liable as partners. This
may be news to some of you; but it is the law. Stockholders in
California have been for years considered as partners, and the effect
of this law is to render them liable to domestic creditors residing
in California. Stockholders of a foreign corporation are thus liable
to the domestic creditors the same as though they were partners.
This particular Colorado corporation did business in California;
it became insolvent, and its stockholders were sued by California
creditors, and the stockholders were held liable by the United States
Supreme Court as partners under the laws of California, notwithstaning the fact that the corporation was organized in Colorado,
and notwithstanding the fact that the Colorado statute said that
there was absolutely no liability on the part of the stockholders at
all. This incident is another indication of the many, many difficulties, some of which are insurmountable with any degree of certainty.
Well, suppose you have that propo_sition to solve, so that you
will say to your client, if your client' asked you about it, that by
going into New Jersey or Maine or New York or West Virginia,
they will not escape their liability as stockholders which they have
in Illinois under the law of Illinois in cases of insolvency, even
though they have the express power to do business in Illinois. As
you are probably a.ware, in Illinois, the stockholders are liable even
if the stock is issued fully paid up, unless in fact and in good faith

�ORGANIZING AND ADVISING A CORPORATION.

31

the stock when issued has been paid for in equivalent stock of the
par value in money or money's worth or in property taken at a fair
market value. That is not the only difficulty that is going to menace
you. You will then have before you the question not only of the
liability of stockholders, but you will have also the all-important
question of the liability of the directors. Are the directors liable
in case of the distribution of the assets in the way' of dividends,
even though the directors may not be apprised of it? In New York,
until last year, the law expressly provided that directors, where
dividends are declared and the dividends have not been earned, are
liable to the creditors of the corporation, and the corporation itself
for the full amount paid up, even though the directors had no knowledge of this payment. In Illinois we have a statute not quite so
broad as that, but which still makes the directors liable if they pay
dividends the result of which is to diminish the capital stock of the
corporation or to render it insolvent.
Then you will have other questions-and it is needless, I suppose, to say that you cannot expect me to give you the manner or
the different ways of solving the conundrums; I am simply suggesting them, so that you may realize the manifold, the complicated
questions, sometimes almost impossible of solution, that will and
do confront you. The corporation and its officers will confer as to
what its powers are. I have already indicated to you that corporations have powers such as are given to them by their charters, expressly or necessarily implied. But you will frequently have a
client, a corporation for instance, who, no matter what course of
business you may advise them, nor whatever you may tell them the
law is, they will say necessity requires that they shall do certain
things. And they will want to know what the consequences will
be. The same act done or suffered by the same corporation, if organized under the laws of one State, will be valid, and if organized
on the contrary in another State, will be invalid. I refer now to the
doctrine of ultra vires. In the United States courts, like the courts
of Illinois, it is settled that if a corporation does an act, which it is
not authorized to do by its charter-as for instance, if a corporation
organized to run a dry goods store should purchase a brewery, and
the title for the brewery should be conveyed to it, and the corporation, not paying the purchase price, being sued therefor, it could
defend under the contract on the ground that it had no power to
purchase that brewery, and could successfully defend; that being
the extreme doctrine of ultra vires, as enunciated by our Illinois
courts, which in turn have followed the federal courts. On the other
hand, if the same question be raised in New York or New Jersey by
the same corporation-I am still speaking now of the corporation

�82

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

which you are forming-that corporation will be defeated, because
the law in New York and New Jersey is that, if a transaction is
ultra vires, provided it is not prohibited by law, and is not a crime
and not against public policy, after you have received the consideration you are estopped.
There is one more question, possibly two, that I shall touch upon,
very, very briefly. One is the absolute necessity, if you are in doubt, to
give your client, if it be a corporation, the benefit of that doubt. I
will continue to abstain from speaking of corporations which are
engaged in public or quasi-public enterprises; I am speaking now of
private corporations, private enterprises. The contrary belief is
pretty generally entertained that lawyers who advise corporations are
reckless and bold. The fact is the contrary. By all means, I suggest,
be on the side of conservatism, and if there is any doubt, give the corporation the benefit of the doubt. The doubts arise from the tremendous, uncontrolled, and uncontrollable impetus, which Legislatures and
the Courts are now giving to the doctrines of checking and circumscribing corporations and corporate enterprises. There is no certain
way of knowing in advance, upon a doubtful question like ultra
vires, what the courts will eventually do where there has been no
final adjudication in the case in which you happen to be advising.
Though the belief is entertained that corporation lawyers are bold,
reckless, and fearless in advising, my suggestion is, be the reverse.
Be conservative, and give the corporation the benefit of the doubt.
When you have advised, and the corporation has followed the
advice, one suggestion more and that is the question of compensation, which is of course the most essential and salient point, with
others as with you. This is most essential to lawyers, at least in the
earlier part of their practice, because it is the means by which their
sustenance is secured. Ordinarily a corporate enterprise can afford
to pay somewhat better, and should be required to pay somewhat
more, for the same services as those rendered to an individual. I
don't mean by that suggestion that it is the right or the province
of a lawyer to be unreasonable or extortionate, but I rather mean
to impress upon you that the measure of a lawyer's compensation
depends quite a little on the responsibility that he assumes; upon
the character of the advice; upon the nature of the enterprise; its
magnitude, and a score of other things that enter into the environment. So that it does not at all follow, that because you have
given to your corporation client one day's service, that the measure
of your compensation should be the same as one day's service rendered to a private individual.
Some reasons why it does not follow that they should be equal
are as I have indicated. There are other reasons. One is, that a

�ORGANIZING AND ADVISING A CORPORATION.

38

lawyer's compensation, measured as it should be to a considerable
degree by the time and the responsibility, should, to a moderate extent at least, and can fairly, justly, morally, to a moderate extent
at least, be measured by the capacity of the client to pay. I do
not mean, have in mind, that you should be extortionate or unreasonable; I shall have a word to say about that in conclusion. But I
don't mean to say that you cannot, fairly and justly, with every
degree of propriety, legally, lawfully, morally, professionally, and
otherwise, have your measure of services slightly larger when rendered to a corporation than when rendered to an individual.
Now, as to this measure of services. It is, of course, utterly impossible for anybody to lay down by rules of court or statutory
enactment what a lawyer's charges should justly be. Let me caution you against a mistake that is not infrequently made, and that
is the mistake of overcharging, not only individuals, which is a
subject that tonight I am not concerned with, but corporations. It
is sometimes assumed by lawyers that a corporation, which has no
personal entity, whose expense account falls on no one individual,
can be charged with the same degree of irresponsibility and recklessness. It is a mistake. I am dealing, bear in mind, as I stated at the
start, with corporations whose purpose is legitimate, whose functions are of a high class, and whose business is genuine and bona
fide . Your charges are more carefully scrutinized in the office of the
executive committee of such a corporation than they would be in
the office of an individual. Bear in mind that I am referring to corporations which are run as such, where the executive committee
discharge their duties and are active in the administration of its
affairs. I am not alluding ·to corporations of a public of quasi-public character, as I said, which fact should be taken in connection
with the suggestion that I am making. These corporations to which
I am addressing myself will be circumspect and watchful of your
charges, and more so than an _individual, with this disadvantage to
the lawyer that if the board of directors, which frequently consist
-well, of never less than three in Illinois, and sometimes as high
as eleven or more-those eleven know if the charge is unjust or
excessive, while in the case of an individual only one will know of
it. So that it will be required, as I regard it, that the lawyer, in
making the charges, to a corporation of the class I have been alluding to, should be even more cautious, from the standpoint of selfinterest, than he would be if he were dealing with an individual.
But at the same time, experience leads me, I think, to the observation, with some justice, too, that you are justified, and your corporation client expects bills for this service, measured by the standard
of the individual, somewhat higher-not excessively higher, but

�84

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

somewhat higher than the standard which gauges the business you
do for the individuals; and particularly so because the corporate
business is of a kind, and possesses characteristics which never pertain to professional business done for an individual, because as I
have indicated, the rights of the individual, the powers to contract
and acquire property, give the lawyer no serious difficulty, raise no
legal question here, while the power of the corporation to contract
depends on so many complicated and varying circumstances. This
phase of the question is that, though the same time be devoted,
still a much more responsible degree of service is rendered, and
therefore a compensatory compensation justifies, and in fact requires, a somewhat higher standard of charges.
The few remarks that I have made will indicate that the functions of a lawyer advising men engaged in the formation and conduct of corporations are altogether different from what they were
characterized to be by the gentleman named by the professor who
introduced me tonight-the New York lawyer, whom I have the
pleasure of knowing well.
I am very much indebted to you for your patience in listening
to me.

�THE Y;OUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
The Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago has established
a branch which carries on work in the three Schools in the University
Building. In addition to its religious work, the Association is of
service to the students in many ways. In the pleasant rooms, placed
at its disposal by the University, the Association maintains a very
popular social center with a well selected list of reading material,
several games and a piano. T)iroughout the year the list of rooms
and boarding places is kept for the use of students in settling in
the city.
All students are invited to make the Association rooms their headquarters during the year. As far as possible new students will be
met at the train by an Association man wearing a badge. Those
desiring to be so met will please write a few days in advance to Mr.
Paul C. Foster, care of Y. M. C. A., Northwestern University Building, Chicago, indicating clearly on what train they are to reach
Chicago, and over what road they are to come.

By Henry Schofield.
Professor of Constitutional Law and the Law of Municipal Corporations
in the Law School of Northwestern University, and formerly
Assistant Corporation Counsel to the City of Chica&amp;o

An editorial in the Chicago Sunday Tribune of a few weeks ago
directed the attention of the public to an objection that has been
raised to the so-called "Charter Amendment" of the Constitution,
that objection being, that said Amendment is void, because it
amends more than one Article of the Constitution, in contravention
of Section 2 of Article XIV, which section provides, that "The
General Assembly shall have no power to propose Amendments to
more than one Article of this Constitution at the same session";
referred to a decision of the Supreme Court of Iowa (Koehler
NOTE:

Tiu texto/ the Amendment t"s as follows:

Article IV, Section 34. The General Assembly shall have power,
subject to the conditions and limitations hereinafter contained to
pass any law (local, special or general) providing a scheme or
charter of local municipal government for the territory now or
hereafter embraced within the limits of the city of Chicago. The
law or laws so passed may provide for consolidating (in whole or in
part) in the municipal government of the city of Chicago, the

the assumption by the city of Chicago of the debts and liabilities

and Lang v Hill, 60 Iowa, 543) declaring void an Amendment of
the Constitution of Iowa, prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of intoxicating liquor in that State, because the General Assembly
of Iowa, in adopting the said proposed Amendment, did not proceed in manner and form agreeably to the Article of the Iowa Constitution prescribing a method for proposing and adopting Amendments; and gave expression to the thought that, perhaps, our Supreme Court might not be so "strict" as the Supreme Court of Iowa
was in the case referred to.
The possibility, involved in the said objection, that the now daily
manifested expectations of great benefits to accrue to Chicago by
reason of this new Amendment may be in danger of being disappointed, would appear to sugges t, that it is proper to begin to
seriously consider the questions : ( 1) ·whether this new Amendment
is a lawful Amendment of our Constitution; (2) Whether this new
Amendment was necessary to enable the General Assembly to exercise any important or substantial legislative power over the
of the legal voters of said city voting on the question at any election, general, municipal, or special) ; and may provide for the assessment of property and the levy and collection of taxes within said city
for corporate purposes in accordance with the principles of equality
and uniformity prescribed by this Constitution; and may abolish all
offices, the functions of which shall be otherwise provided for; and
may provide for the annexation of territory to or disconnection of
territory from said city of Chicago by the consent of a majority
of the legal voters (voting on the question at any election, general,
municipal or special) of the said city and of a majority of the
voters of such territory voting on the question at any election, general, municipal or special; and in case the General Assembly shall
create municipal courts in the city of Chicago it may abolish the
offices of Justices of the Peace, Police Magistrates and Constables
in and for the terrritory within said city, and may limit the jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace in the territory of said county of Cook
outside of said city to that territory, an d in such case the j urisdiction of practice of said municipal courts shall be such as the eneral Assembly shall prescribe; and the General Assembly may
pass all laws which it may deem requisite to effectually provide a
complete system of local municipal government in and for the c~ty
of Chicago.
No law based upon this amendment to the Constitution, affecting
the municipal government of the city of Chicago, shall take effect
until such law shall be consented to by a majority of the legal voters
of said city voting on the question at any election, general, municipal
or special; and no local or special law based upon this amendment
affecting specially any part of the city of Chicago shall take effect
until consented to by a majority of the legal voters of such part
of said city voting on the question at any election, general, municipal
or special. Nothing in this section contained shall be construed
to repeal, amend or affect section four (4) of Article XI of the
Constitution of this State (Sess. Laws, 1903, Bradwell Ed., p. 281).

subject of local government for Chicago, that it could not have
exercised under the Constitution as it stands without this Amendment; and (3) Precisely and exactly what legislative power over
that subject of local government for Chicago is the General Assembly enabled to exercise by virtue of this new Amendment, that
it could not have exercised before, or without, this Amendment.
There is, it is believed, some, if not good, ground upon which to
rest the following views : First, that it is probable the Supreme
Court may find itself constrained to declare the said Amendment,
and, consequently, all acts of the General Assembly "based thereon,"
unconstitutional, and, therefore, void; Second, that this new Amendment, even if constitutional, and, therefore, lawful, removes no important and substantial pre-existing constitutional restriction or
limitation upon the legislative power of the General Assembly;
Third, that this new Amendment was, and is, unnecessary, because
the General Assembly, under the legislative power it possessed before, and without, this new Amendment, can accomplish for Chicago,
and for the inhabitants thereof, everything of substance, touching
the matter of our local government, that it can accomplish for us
under and by virtue of this Amendment.
I. As respects the said first proposition, that the Supreme Court
may find itself constrained to declare this Amendment void:
This Amendment expressly purports, or attempts, to amend at
least three Articles of the Constitution, to-wit: Article IV, Section 22, prohibiting the passage of "local or special laws" upon certain specified topics; Article VI, Sections r, 2r and 28, making justices of the peace a part of the Judicial Department of the Government; and Article IX, Section r2, limiting the power of municipal
corporations to go into debt, and also expressly makes the addition of a referendum clause to all laws "based upon" this Amendment mandatory or compulsory.
While, as hereinafter explained, this Amendment touches, affects and changes the Sections of the Articles of the Constitution
just specified only in very slight, wholly unimportant and unsubstantial, ways, yet, even if this Amendment does no more, that is
perhaps sufficient to lay it open to the said objection, that it amends
more than one Article of the Constitution, and to the further objection, that it is too unsubstantial to come within the true meaning of an Amendment of the Constitution.
But it is asserted by some that this Amendment does more than
amend slightly and delicately the three Articles just specified, and
a plausible argument that they are right may be made.
In its first sentence, this Amendment provides that "the General
Assembly shall have power, subject to the conditions and Iimita-

�8

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

tions hereinafter contained, to pass any law (local, special or general) providing a scheme or charter of local municipal government
for the territory now or hereafter embraced within the limits of the
city of Chicago." The thought expressed in said sentence is reexpressed in the last sentence of the first paragraph of the Amendment in the following words, to-wit: "And the General Assembly
may pass all laws which it may deem requisite to effectually provide a complete system of local municipal government for the city
of Chicago." As to the "conditions and limitations hereinafter
contained," mentioned in the first sentence above quoted, the only
express "conditions and limitations hereinafter contained" appear
to be, first, that no law passed by the General Assembly affecting
Chicago, and "based upon" this new Amendment, can take effect
in Chicago, until consented to by a majority of the electors of Chicago, or of the part of Chicago to be affected by such law, who may
vote on the question of the adoption of such law; and, second, that
''nothing" in this Amendment "contained shall be construed to
repeal, amend or affect Section four (4) of Article XI of the Constitution of this State," said Section being the one which prohibits
the General Assembly from passing any law granting the right to
construct and operate a street railroad in any city, town, or village,
without requiring the consent of the local corporate authorities having control of the street proposed to be occupied by such street
railroad.
From the aforesaid provisions of this Amendment, evidently, it
is entirely possible to argue, with at least some degree of plausibility, that, when the words of the Amendment are rightly interpreted, its true intent and meaning is, to free the General
Assembly from each and every written restriction or limitation contained, not merely in the State Con3titution, but in the Federal
Constitution as well, upon its legislative power over the topic of
local government for Chicago, and to place its legislative power
over all subjects embraced within that general legislative topic,
except the single subject of granting the right to lay down street
railroad tracks in the streets of Chicago, under the one written
restriction or limitation, that no law passed by the General Assembly affecting the local government of Chicago, except a law
upon the subject of street railroads in Chicago, shall take effect
and be in force in Chicago, except upon the consent of the electors
of Chicago manifested by their votes at an election. In other
words, it may be argued, at least plausibly, that this Amendment,
in so far as all subjects of legislation included in the general
legislative topic of local government for Chicago are concerned,
except the single subject of street railroads, turns the General As-

�CHICAGO CHARTER AMENDMENT.

sembly into a species of Constitutional Convention for Chicago, that
is to say, a body of picked men who have power to propose anything to the electors of Chicago, but to conclude nothing for said
electors, with the curious and odd exception that the General Assembly, and the local legislative authority of Chicago, combined,
have the power to conclude said electors upon the said single
subject of street railroads in the streets of Chicago.
If the aforesaid view of the true intent and meaning of this
Amendment should be deemed not merely plausible, but sound, then,
certainly, it must be agreed, that this Amendment is very radical,
because, when it is remembered that the topic of local government
embraces a wide field of legislation, almost the only boundary,
in the absence of any constitutional limitation, being the will of the
General Assembly, this Amendment erects within the limits of this
State a species of a pure democracy, with no constitutional limitation upon its legislative power over any subject included in the
general subject of local government, with the aforesaid exception
of the subject of street railroads. In fine, this view is, that this
Amendment amounts to a species of an ordinance of secession,
separating the people of Chicago from the people of the rest of
the State, and from the people o-f the rest of the United States
as well.
The aforesaid view of the true intent and meaning of this Amendment may, or may not, be sound. It does seem, however, that this
view, the question being one merely of the meaning of a few words,
is plausible, and that the lawyer called upon to assail this Amendment before the Supreme Court would be justified in making, if
not in duty bound to make, the best possible argument in support
of that view, leaving it to his adversary, the defender of this Amendment, to accept, or to combat, that view, as he might be advised.
The soundness of that view would appear to depend, to some
extent at least, upon the solution of the question, whether the well
established rule, requiring a court to so construe an act of the
Legislature as to harmonize it with the State and Federal Constitutions, if it be possible to do so, applies to an act, or resolution,
of the Legislature proposing to the electors an Amendment of the
Constitution. Such an act, or resolution, is not an ordinary piece
of_ legislation, but is, from every point of view, extraordinary, its
very object, aim and purpose being to effect a material change in
the fundamental organic law of the State. Then, do the reasons,
upon which the said rule rests, apply to the case of such extraordinary act, or resolution? Not necessarily, it may be argued, after the
act or resolution has received the approval of the electors, and is
drawn in question in a litigated case at the bar on the point whether

�10

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

it really is, in point of law, a part of the Constitution. If the
reasons upon which said rule rests do not apply, then, according to
the familiar maxim, the rule itself does not apply. It is not unlikely, then, that a court, before which the right of this Amendment
to a permanent abiding place in our Constitution is challenged, may
say, that it is bound to construe and interpret its words liberally,
to give them the widest and fullest meaning they are capable of
bearing, in order to give complete effect to the expressed object,
aim, and purpose of the electors, viz., a material and substantial
enlargement of the legislative power of the General Assembly, by
the removal of pre-existing constitutional restrictions and limitations thereon. Certainly all will agree, that any court should so
construe and interpret this Amendment, if it were admittedly and
confessedly a part of the fundamental organic law of the State. Is
it rational to say, . that a different rule of construction and interpretation applies, when the right of this Amendment to a place in
that fundamental organic law is the question in issue? It would
~eem not.
It is believed that, if the aforesaid view of the true intent and
meaning of this Amendment should prevail, and it may prevail,
most lawyers would concede toot the Amendment must fall for
very many obvious reasons.
But if the view, that the words of this Amendment are susceptible of the aforesaid meaning, be held to be untenable, then, as above
stated, and hereinafter more fully explained, it only slightly amends
certain Sections of three separate Articles of the Constitution, but
is thus brought into apparent collision, at least, with the said constitutional prohibition, that the General Assembly shall not propose
Amendments to more than one Article of this Constitution at the
same Session.
It is possible, that the Supreme Court may not feel bound
hand and foot by the Constitutional Convention's arrangement and adjustment of the provisions of the Constitution into
Articles and Sections, and may feel at liberty to re-arrange and
re-adjust to some extent the work of the Constitutional Convention.
But it is not easy to see how the court can go farther into such
work of revision and adjustment than to re-arrange and re-adjust
the work of the Constitutional Convention into three Articles, corresponding to the three Departments, the Executive, the Legislative,
and the Judicial. Even then, this Amendment, if it has any effect
at all upon the Constitution, amends two of said Articles, viz: the
Legislative and the Judicial. It is possible, perhaps, for the Court to
say, that "one Article" means "one topic," and this Amendment
affects only one topic, to-wit: local government in Chicago.
The argument usually made to sustain Amendments of a State

�CHICAGO CHARTER AMENDMENT.

11

Constitution, adopted in disregard of the provisions of the Constitution prescribing the manner in which, and the mode by which, it
may be amended, viz., the supremacy of the will of the people, has
never met with any favor in courts of last resort, for the very good
reason, that, in "a government of laws and not of men," courts
know, and can know, nothing about the will of the people, except
when that will is expressed in a manner and mode authorized by
law, the manner and mode of ascertaining, and giving legal expression to, the will of the people on the subject of amending their
fundamental organic law being the manner and mode therein specified, and no other. Any other doctrine would make the judges
themselves parties to a revolution, or unlawful attempt, to change
the structure of the very government of which they are a part.
It is true, that the Supreme Court of Colorado, consisting of three
judges, did recently, on March 2, 1903, in the case of The People
vs Sours, 74 Pacific Reporter, 167, by a vote of two to one, get
over a similar objection to an Amendment of the Colorado Constitution, said Amendment providing for the consolidation of the
county and city governments of Denver. But the dissenting opinion
of Mr. Chief Justice Campbell appears to be the most judicial opinion delivered. And the majority appear to have been in error,
when they thought they found authority for their position in four
decisions of our Supreme Court (Moore's Ex. v. Lewis, 1o6 Ill. 376;
Huston v. Clark, II2 Ill., 344; Wilson v. Board of Trustees, 133
Ill. 443; and Wabash Ry. Co. v. Drainage and Levee District, 194
III. 3ro), arising under the Amendment in 1878 of our Constitution,
giving the General Assembly power to authorize the construction
and repair of drains, ditches or levees for agricultural, mining or
sanitary purposes over the lands of others by special assessment,
because, first, the point that the said Amendment of 1878 amended
more than one Article of our Constitution was not raised in the
cases referred to, and such vast property rights have accrued under
the Amendment that it is now too late, even of any one thinks said
Amendment of 1878 did encounter this objection, to raise said
objection to said Amendment; and, second, the settled doctrine of
our Supreme Court appears to be, that said Amendment of 1878
amended only Section 9 of Article IX, by removing, or uplifting, the
prohibition in that Section, which prevented the General Assembly
from vesting in drainage and sanitary districts the power to raise
the money to pay the cost of drains, ditches and levees by special
assessment, but left the legislative power of the General Assembly
over the subj ect of drains, ditches and levees for agricultural, mining or sanitary purposes, subj ect to all the other restrictions and
limitations found in the Constitution. Besides, the doctrine of the
majority of the Colorado Court, that an implied Amendment is not

�12

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

within a constitutional prohibition as to the number of Amendments
that may be proposed at one time, can have no application to this
new Amendment of ours, because, if this new Amendment of ours
does amend more than one Article of our Constitution, it does the
thing expressly, that is to say, in words.
It does not seem very likely, that our Supreme Court will strain
itself in order to find a way to sustain this new Amendment, because,
if the views hereinafter expressed are correct, the Amendment is
based almost wholly upon a misapprehension of certain judgments
of the court, and a decision declaring this Amendment void, and of
no force and effect, either because it amends more than one Article
of the Constitution, or because it does not amend the Constitution
at all, would do probably more good than harm to the State as a
whole.
II. All will agree, doubtless, that this Amendment is of no substantial, practical importance, if, in truth and in fact, it removes no
important and substantial pre-existing written constitutional restriction or limitation upon the legishtive power of the General Assembly, and if, consequently, the General Assembly, without this Amendment, has ample power to accomplish for Chicago and its inhabitants
every important and substantial result, affecting the subject of our
local government, that it can accomplish for us under and by virtue
of this Amendment.
In considering this matter of the precise and exact actual legal
effect of this Amendment, and of the real necessity for this Amendment, in order to enable us to attain the benefits of good and efficient local government in Chicago, one must get firmly fixed in the
mind, and keep there, the fundamental proposition, that the General Assembly of this State is possessed of all the legislative power
of the people o"f the State, even over the subject of local government
for Chicago, except in so far as the legislative power of the people
of the State is withdrawn from the General Assembly by express
provisions in the State and Federal Constitutions. In other words,
the General Assembly, unless restricted by some express or implied
State or Federal constitutional provision, is as omnipotent a legislative body as the Parliament of England, and may do for, and to,
the people of the State whatever the people could themselves do for,
and to, themselves, acting as a pure democracy.
Casting aside as negligible, in this connection, the aforesaid view,
that this Amendment, rightly constrned and interpreted, frees the
General Assembly from every written constitutional restriction or
limitation upon its legislative power over the subject of local government in Chicago, let the Amendment be examined, in so far as
it expressly purports, or attempts, to amend the Sections of the three
Articles of the Constitution heretofore specified.

�CHICAGO CHARTER AMENDMENT.

13

It should be noticed, that the Amendment takes the form, improper
from a correct legal point of view, of a grant of power to the General Assembly, and that the general legislative topic mentioned therein is the topic of "a scheme or charter of local municipal government" for Chicago. This Amendment then proceeds to expressly
specify three or four subjects embraced within the said general
topic, and purports to grant to the General Assembly power to deal
with said specified subjects in certain specified ways. The specified
subjects are: (1) the consolidation, or amalgamation, of all municipal corporations in Chicago into one municipal corporation;
(2) the assessment and collection of taxes for the local corporate
purposes of Chicago; (3) justices of the peace, constables and municipal courts in Chicago; (4) the indebtedness of Chicago.
I. Taking the said general legislative topic of a "scheme or charter
of local municipal government" for Chicago, and the first of said
specified subjects, to-wit: the consolidation of municipal corporations
in Chicago into one municipal corporation, the questions to be considered are: (a) Just what restrictions or limitations in the Constitution upon the legislative power of the General Assembly over these
subjects create a necessity for this Amendment? (b) Exactly how
does this Amendment touch and affect such restrictions or limitations?
This Amendment itself points to one constitutional restriction
or limitation, to-wit: Section 22 of Article IV of the Constitution,
providing that "the General Assembly shall not pass local or special
laws in any of the following enumerated cases," and then includes
within the "enumerated cases" the said subjects of municipal charters and consolidation of municipal corporations. And that is the
only relevant, for our purpose, restriction or limitation in the Constitution upon the legislative power of the General Assembly over
said subjects, as the Supreme Court has authoritatively decided,
over and over again. In other words, except for the said constitutional restriction or limitation prohibiting the passage of "local
or special laws," the General Assembly has all the legislative power
over said subjects that any legislature, sitting under a State Constitution, in the usual and ordinary form, could have. One of the
latest rulings of the Supreme Court to the foregoing effect was
made on June 23, 1904, by Mr. Justice Scott, speaking for the court,
in the case of Chicago v. Cicero, 210 Ill., 290, 294-296, where any
one may find previous decisions of the Supreme Court upon the
same subject.
So far as the said subjects of municipal charter for Chicago and
consolidation of municipal corporations in Chicago are concerned,
then, the only actual legal effect of this Amendment is to free the

�14

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

General Assembly from that restriction or limitation, when legislating on said subjects for Chicago, and to enable the General
Assembly to propose to the electors of Chicago alone laws upon
said subjects to take effect in Chicago when the electors of Chicago
so will.
Is the said restriction or limitation upon the power of the General Assembly to legislate upon said subjects, forbidding the passage
of "local or special laws" upon said subjects, but leaving the General Assembly practically unlimited power to legislate thereon by
"general laws," any real and substantial embarrassment to, clog,
fetter or tether upon, the exercise, "effectually" for Chicago and its
inhabitants, by the General Assembly of its admitted legislative
power over said subjects?
That depends, obviously, upon the meaning the law attaches to
the words "local or special laws," and "general laws," found in our
Constitution, as applied to the subject of local government. It
seems quite clear, that this Amendment proceeds upon this fallacy,
viz: of assuming that a law upon the subject of local government
is "local or special," and not "general," unless it must be, and is,
of necessity, in force and effect upon every foot of the soil of
Illinois. But the rule of the law, as laid down by our Supreme
Court, is, that a law upon the subjects of local municipal government and the consolidation of local municipal governments is a
"general law," and is not a "local or special law," when it has a
general local option, or, in our day, local referendum, provision,
even though the electors of only one locality in the State vote to
accept the benefits and burdens of the law. All that is required,
according to authoritative decisions of our Supreme Court, in order
to make a local government law a "general law" is, that the law shall
give to the electors of all municipal corporations of the State of
the same class, grade or denomination, embraced within the terms
of the law, a reasonable opportunity to adopt, and be governed
under, the law, and that the law shall be so drawn that all the
municipalities that adopt the law must have local governments
identical in organization and in powers.
As early as December, 1848, the Supreme Court, in People v.
Reynolds, S Gilman, 1, speaking by Mr. Justice Caton, incorporated
the local option, or local referendum, principle into the law of this
State, and that principle has frequently been used since the adoption of our present Constitution in 1870 to rescue local government
laws from the objection that they are "local or special laws." Conspicuous and familiar examples of "general laws" with a general
local option provision, in force in only a few places here and there
in the State, are the "Election Law" and the "Civil Service Law,"

�CHICAGO CHARTER AMENDMENT.

15

both of which have been sustained by our Supreme Court, the
opinion in the "Election Law" case, n6 Ill. 587, written by Mr.
Justice Magruder, covering this whole subject of "general laws,''
and "local or special laws,'' as applied to the matter of government,
and pointing out that our present "Cities and Villages Act" of r872
is a "general law," though it is not in operation all over the State,
and did not apply in Chicago until the electors of Chicago adopted
it in r875. And in New Jersey, where also the local referendum
was legalized at an early date, "An act concerning the government
of cities in this State" was held not to be obnoxious to the objection
that it was "local or special," or not of "uniform operation," when
it left it optional to the electors of any city, but required the
electors of no city, in the State to live under its provisions. (Petition of Cleveland, Mayor of Jersey City, 52 N. J. L., r88.)
Judging from our written laws, the people of this State have
always been, and are now, firm believers in the principle of local
self government, or home rule in local affairs, and the framers of
our present Constitution, in obedience to this known faith of the
people in, and their wish for, such home rule, inserted into the
Constitution very many provisions calculated, and designed, to secure
that principle against invasion or destruction by the General Assembly. That principle necessarily contemplates the result in practice,
that the local governments set up by authority of the General Assembly in the various municipalities composing the State may, and
must, differ in formal and sometimes in substantial particulars
respecting their organization and powers. The prohibition against
"local or special laws" upon the subject was not at all intended to
secure an iron uniformity in the organization and powers of the
local governments of the various municipalities composing the
State, because such iron uniformity may itself constitute an evil,
and a menace to the general welfare of the State, and the intent
of the prohibition against the passage of "local or special laws"
was to root out, and cut off, evils in government, State and municipal, and not at all to furnish a basis for their introduction and
perpetuation. Quoting from the opinion of Mr. Justice Van Syckel,
speaking for the Court of Errors and Appeals of New Jersey in the
case above mentioned, "one of the conspicuous evils at which" this
constitutional prohibition against local or special laws "was aimed,
was, in my judgment, this: that prior to" its insertion in our
Constitution of r870 "a few persons could go before the" General
Assembly "and secure the passage of a special law to promote their
own purposes, which might be obnoxious to the body of the citi,
zens. In such event, the only remedy was by an appeal to a subso,
quent legislature, and that mi~ht

mischief. Such enactments are now forestalled by the fact that
they cannot be made applicable without being submitted to the
approval of the entire body of voters. In this way the people of
every city are left free to select the mode in which they will regulate
and conduct their local affairs, and it is this which impresses such
legislation with the character of general, and not special, legislation.
Gauged by this standard, there is no infirmity in the legislation which
is the subject of controversy (An act concerning the government of
cities in this State). It applies to the entire class; there is no
exception. It is held out to the free acceptance of all, and is capable
of being accepted or rejected by every city in this State." And
that the foregoing correctly states the law of the land in Illinois
is apparent from the opinion of Mr. Justice Magruder, speaking for
our Supreme Court, in the "Election Law" case above mentioned.
The learned Justice there said: "On July r, r872, that act ( to
provide for the incorporation of cities and villages) was, in a certain sense, dormant. Until some city or village should vote in
favor of accepting it, there was nothing for it to operate upon.
When the first city adopted it, its provisions took effect as to the
municipal affairs of that city, but of no other. It was, for the time
being, in force in one locality alone, and not elsewhere. Notwithstanding these features, we say of it in Potwin vs. Johnson, 108
Ill. 70, 'After full consideration and reconsideration, we are as
firmly committed to the doctrine as we can be to any doctrine, that
the act in relation to cities and villages is a general law, and not
local or special.' "
And it is a well known fact that, in several of our sister
States, with Constitutions contammg almost identically the
same prohibition as ours upon the passage of local or special
laws on the subject of local government, "Classification Acts,"
even without any local option provision, grading cities into classes
for the purpose of local government upon the basis of population,
have been passed, and have always been sustained by the courts of
last resort, except when the court was able to see clearly, that the
Legislature was really so legislating, under the guise of a general
classification by population for the purpose of local government,
that only one city in the State, or only certain particular cities
in the State, could by any reasonable possibility attain the benefits
of the legislation. It is believed, that no such general "Classification
Act" has ever been passed by our General Assembly, since r870 at
least, but it seems to be incontestable, that such an act would be good,
The framers of our present Constitution of ' r870 appear to have
borrowed the prohibition upon the passage of "local or special laws,"

of 1851 (Article II, Section 26; Article XIII, Sections 1 and 6),
the Constitution of Indiana of 1851 (Article IV, Section 22),
the Constitution of Iowa of 1857 (Article III, Section 30), and the
Constitution of Minnesota of 1858 (Article IV, Section 33; See,
1 Debates in C. C. of 1870, pp. 577-578, and p. 583). As early as December, 1868, the Supreme Court of Ohio decided, that the Legislature
of Ohio could, for the purpose of local government, grade cities into
classes on the basis of population, and that a local government law
applicable to all the cities in one class, or grade, was a general law
of uniform operation (Welker v. Potter, 18 Ohio St. 85). On a
familiar rule, the framers of our Constitution, no intention to the
contrary appearing, must be presumed to have adopted that judicial
interpretation of the Ohio Constitution (See, also, State v. Mitchell,
31 Ohio St., 592; Marmet v. State, 45 Ohio St., 63; State v. Anderson, 44 Ohio St., 247; and State v. Cincinnati, 40 N . E. Rep. 5o8).
The Supreme Court of Minnesota expounds the Constitution of
Minnesota in the same way (McCormick v. West Duluth, 47 Minn.,
272; State v. Spaude, 37 Minn., 264.)
And our own Supreme
Court, in People v. Hazelwood, II6 Ill., 319, 329, speaking by Mr.
Justice Scholfield, said: "Classification, therefore, in our opinion,
is not only allowable, but, to a large extent, inevitable, between
towns lying wholly in the country and those the entire territory
of which is covered by an incorporated city." And at the close of
a very able and very interesting debate in the Constitutional Convention upon the question whether the prohibition upon the passage
of local or special laws should be extended to the subject of local
government, Mr. Medill said: "As regards Chicago, we can procure,
under a general law, all that can ever be needed for the wants of
that city, by simply dividing the various cities into classes. Legislation for cities of the first class would embrace Chicago alone, and
give us everything we need, or have a right to ask, in the way of
amending our Charter." And the majority of the delegates apparently were of the same opinion (1 Debates in C. C. of 1870, p. 591
to p. 6o8; see Mr. Hay's speech on p. 6o5, and see the Colloquy
between Mr. Hayes and Mr. Medill in l Debates, p. 584; the Iowa
statute there referred to is probably Chapter 51 of the Revision of
186o of the Laws of Iowa, being "An Act for the Incorporation of
Cities and Towns," grading cities into classes on the basis of
population).
It appears to be quite clear, therefore, that the view, evidenced
by this Amendment, that our Constitution was written so illiberally
by its framers or has been expounded so illiberally by the Supreme
Court, that an Amendment must be adopted whenever any city, any
town or any village in the State needs a change in the organization

and powers of the local government provided for it by the statutes
now in force, is not tenable.
It follows, then, that insofar as Chicago's "charter" and "consolidation" are concerned, the precise, exact and only legal effect of
this Amendment upon the fundamental organic law of the State is,
to remove, or uplift, the constitutional restriction or limitation
upon the passage of "local or special laws" upon said subjects so
far as to leave the General Assembly free to make an exception
of the city of Chicago by limiting and confining to the electors of
that city alone of all cities in the State the privilege, or right, of
living under laws upon said subjects passed by the General Assembly.
The question comes naturally into the mind: Why, if the General
Assembly frames a model "scheme or charter of local municipal
government," should the General Assembly be allowed to limit and
confine the right to enjoy the benefits of that law to the electors
of Chicago, and to deny that right for all time to the electors of
every other city in the State? It may well be doubted, whether an
Amendment of our Constitution enabling the General Assembly to
make such exception is of any, even theoretical, value. One i;nay
be permitted to believe, looking at the matter from every conceivable point of view, that the old rule, compelling the General Assembly to extend to the electors of every city of the State of the same
class or grade a reasonable opportunity to exercise and enjoy the
privilege of accepting the results of its deliberations on the subject
of local municipal government, was a better and wiser rule.
It is believed, that the city of Chicago is not at all unique among
the cities of the State respecting the matter of the multiplicity of
municipal governments to which its citizens are subject; and, if it
is unique in that respect, it is not easy to see how that is at all
material, as respects the matter in hand, except that such fact alone
might be sufficient to justify the General Assembly in putting Chicago into a class by itself for the purpose of local government.
The State appears to have started with the county as the unit of
local government, and upon that unit, as population increased, were
engrafted the town, or township, the school district, the road district, the bridge district, the incorporated town, the village, the city,
the park district, the sanitary district, and so on ad infinitum. The
people did not do this work in their Constitution; it was all done
by the General Assembly, by the legislative machinery of general
and special acts, prior to 1870, of general acts, after 1870, with
and without local option attachments. It follows, of course, that,
whenever, in process of time, it becomes necessary, all this work may
be undone by the General Assembly without any Amendment of the
Constitution, by the legislative machi~H Y of the general law with a
genm.l local optio11 eH~~p1n~nt:

The drainage districts, incorporated under the "Levee Act" or
under the "Farm Drainage Act," for the purpose of constructing
and keeping in repair drains, ditches and levees to drain wet agricultural land and wet mining land, appear to stand upon such a
foundation that, while they constitutionally may be consolidated one
with another, yet they probably may not constitutionally be consolidated with a public municipal governmental corporation. The
reason for this appears to be, that such a drainage corporation is
not a public municipal corporation, because it is not created for a
governmental purpose, but is more of a private corporation, resting
upon the power of the General Assembly to prevent an owner of
wet agricultural land or of wet mining land from playing the part
either of "the dog in the manger," or of "the hold-up man," towards his neighbo rs owning adjacent wet land, and desirous of
fitting it for agricultural or mining uses, uses that are mainly
private, but somewhat, though, in a legal sense, remotely affecting,
and beneficial to, the people of the whole State (Wilson v. Sanitary
District, 133 Ill. 443, 476; Gaylord v. Sanitary District, 204 Ill.,
576; Head v. Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, n3 U . S., 9;
Wurts v. Hoagland, II4 U. S ., 6o6).
2. As to the matter of assessing and collecting taxes for Chicago's
municipal purposes, this Amendment says that the General Assembly "may provide for the assessment of property and the levy and
collection of taxes within said city of Chicago for corporate purposes in accordance with the principles of equality and uniformity
prescribed by this Constitution." Of what value is that provision?
Under the Constitution, Section 9 of Article IX providing that,
"for all other corporate purposes, all municipal corporations may be
vested (by the General Assembly) with authority to assess and collect taxes," the General Assembly may give Chicago the right to assess and collect its corporate taxes by its own officers, if it acts by a
general law in the sense above defined.
The insertion of said quoted words in the Amendment appears to
have been due to a misapprehension of the ruling of the Supreme
Court in the "City Tax Act" case in 83 Ill., 585. That act was
declared void for the sole reason, as the court explained there and
subsequently in the "Election Law" case hereinabove referred to,
that it allowed a city an option to select one set of officers, to-wit,
city officers, or another and different set of officers, to-wit: town
and county officers, to do the work of assessing and collecting its
taxes; thus, of its own force, tending to produce and authorizing
dissimilarity in the organization and powers of different cities
organized under the same local government law in the levy and
collection of taxes. The ruling of the court only P1earis that a law

�20

upon the subject of local government, even when it contains a general local option provision, must, in order to be a "general law,"
be so drawn, that it will produce uniformity in results in the organization and powers of the. local governments of the cities which
elect to adopt it, and that dissimilarity or diversity in results in
such cities shall arise only out of a difference in the manner in
which identical officers in different cities exercise their identical
deleg;;.ted powers. The distinction adverted to is aptly illustrated by
the matter of municipal ordinances passed by the councils of different cities organized under our present "Cities and Villages Act."
The councils of such cities have identically the same powers, but
may, and, obviously, must, exercise them differently. But dissimilarity or diversity in results, so produced, does not make a local government law a local or special law, or a law not of uniform operation.
In that "City Tax Act" case, the court, speaking by Mr. Justice
Scholfield, said: "If the General Assembly should, by one or many
enactments, authorize the incorporation of every city, every town
or every village with a distinct and dissimilar organization and
powers, such enactment or enactments would be within the constitutional prohibition of local or special legislation, although having
the form of general laws." "Nor does the prohibition of the
Constitution have any application to the character of the ordinances
that may be adopted by municipalities properly incorporated,
which are within their unquestioned powers."
3. Much of the foregoing applies to the next subject of legislation
specifically mentioned in this Amendment, to-wit, justices of the
peace, constables and municipal courts in Chicago. It is believed,
that the restrictions or limitations in the Constitution upon the
power of the General Assembly over these subjects at the most
only forbid that body ( r) to abolish, by direct legislative enactment, the offices of justice of the peace and constable in Chicago;
(2) to make the office of justice of the peace in Chicago an elective
office; and (3) to legislate upon the subjects of justices of the
peace, constables and municipal courts in Chicago by local or special laws or laws not of uniform operation ( Constitution, Article
IV, Section 22; Article VI, Sections r, 21, 28, 29).
Admitting that this Amendment removes, or uplifts, all of said
restrictions or limitations so far as Chicago is concerned, the
question is whether that is of very great practical importance.
If, under this Amendment, the offices of justice of the peace
and constable in Chicago are once abolished, will they stay abolished? Not necessarily, of course. All must concede, and this
Amendment itself concedes on its face, the absolute necessity to
just and efficient government of some kind of a system of inferior

21

courts. Is it intended to return to the practice, abolished by the
Constitution of 1870, at the special request of Chicago, and supposed at the time by the delegates from Cook County to the Constitutional Convention to be a great reform, of electing the judges of
the inferior courts of Chicago?
But as respects the more important matter of the duties and
powers to be attached to these offices, that is to say, as respects the
territorial jurisdiction, or bailiwick, of a constable, and as respects
the jurisdiction, territorial and otherwise, the organization,
powers, proceedings and practice of justice courts, and of municipal courts as well, the power of the General Assembly over
these subjects is as completely absolute as it is over any other
subject, except for the limitations above mentioned.
No reason is perceived why a general law, with a local option
provision, upon these subjects could not be drawn that would not
encounter the said constitutional limitation prohibiting the passage
of local or special laws, or laws not of uniform operation. It is a
fact, that, ever since 1874, there has been on the statute books of
this State a law upon the subject of city courts, with a local option
provision, and that, under such law, several cities of the State
have organized and now maintain city courts. The history of the
offices of justice of the peace and constable shows, that they are
but a part of the machinery of local government. The mere fact
that the Constitution mentions these offices by name, and prescribes
how the officers shall be chosen, would appear not to operate as a
material restraint upon the power of the General Assembly and
the people over them, except to prevent the General Assembly from
abolishing the offices by direct action and from changing the mode
of choosing the officers.
Over the fees to be charged to the people by justices and constables for their official services, the General Assembly is allpowerful, and is expressly permitted by the Constitution to deal
with the fees of justices and constables in Cook County as a distinct and separate class, without laying a finger on the fees of
justices and constables elsewhere in the State. The General Assembly may repeal the existing law fixing the fees of justices and
constables in Cook County, such repeal to take effect upon the
expiration of the terms of justices and constables now in office,
and no one could compel that body to enact a new law on that
subject, even if the effect of the repeal were to indirectly abolish
the offices by starving the officers. And the General Assembly
could, if it saw fit, enact a new law providing that justices and
constables in Cook County should receive salaries for their services,
payable only out of the fees collected, or out of any other fund,

�BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.
and requiring them to account for, and to pay into the public
treasury, all fees collected. Such is the effect of Section 12 of
Article X of the Constitution, as practically construed by the
General Assembly, as is evidenced by our "Fees and Salaries Act,"
ever since 1872. Indeed, it seems apparent, that Section 13 of Article
X, requiring that every officer in the State paid in whole or in part
by fees should be compelled by law to make a semi-annual report
under oath of all his fees and emoluments, was inserted, to the
end that the General Assembly, as soon as it became apparent that
any officer was receiving more pay than was reasonable, should
provide that such officer be paid at a fixed amount of so much
per diem or per annum, and be required to pay all fees and emoluments into the public treasury.
It would appear then, that the precise and exact effect of this
Amendment upon the subject of justices of the peace and constables in Chicago, is, to empower the General Assembly, with the
consent of the electors of Chicago, to abolish, by direct legislative
act, the offices of justice of the peace and constable in Chicago. Is
that a really important power, when the Amendment itself, as above
stated, concedes the necessity of offices with similar powers, but
with new names? In a word, under the Constitution without this
Amendment, the General Assembly can, with the consent of the
electors of Chicago and Cook County, do to justices and constables in Chicago all it can do to them under and by virtue of
this Amendment, except change the name used to describe these
two offices. As a mere change of a man's name does not change
the man, so a mere change of the name of a governmental machine
does not change its operation and effect upon the people. It is
not likely, is it, that any one would say, that an Amendment of
the Federal Constitution permitting, or even compelling, us to
address a man exercising the powers in Chicago now exercised
by our justices of the peace as "My Lord" would be of very much
importance?
The view evidenced by this Amendment that the General Assembly and the people, without this Amendment, cannot "effectually"
deal with justices of the peace and constables in Chicago and Cook
County by a general law of uniform operation, appears to rest upon
a misapprehen5ion of the opinions of the Supreme Court in the
cases of The People v. Meech, 101 Ill., 200*, and Tissier v. Rhein, 130
Ill., no. But those cases go no farther than the "City Tax Act"
case above referred to, because the laws there before the court
themselves permitted, in the one case, dissimilarity or diversity in
*Ouatre. whether any emphasis could have been laid in this case on the words, "and
for such districts as are now or shall hereafter be provided by law," in Section 28,
Article VI; see ori2inal draft of this section in I Debates in C. C., 974 ; 2 Debates,
1481-1487.

�CHICAGO CHARTER AMENDMENT.

23

the territorial jurisdiction of justices as respects the political subdivision of the State throughout which their process might run, and,
in the other case, dissimilarity or diversity in the number of justices
in towns. As above shown, dissimilarity or diversity in results,
so produced, renders a law obnoxious to the objection that it is a
local or special law, or a law not of uniform operation.
4. The last subject of legislation specifically mentioned in this
Amendment is the indebtedness of Chicago, and it purports to make
a grant of power to the General Assembly to enable the city of
Chicago to increase its indebtedness, or, in other words, to issue
more bonds than the city is permitted to issue under the Constitution as it stands without this Amendment. The Amendment provides, in substance, that the General Assembly, with the consent
of the electors of Chicago, shall have power to authorize Chicago
"to become indebted to an amount" (including existing indebtedness of said city and of all municipal corporations that may be
consolidated with said city) "in the aggregate not exceeding five
per centum of the full value of the taxable property within its
limits, as ascertained by the last assessment either for State or
municipal purposes, previous to the incurring of such indebtedness."
The limitation in the Constitution upon the power of municipal
corporations to contract debts may be .found in Section 12 of
Article IX, and, among other things, provides that "no * * *
municipal corporation shall be allowed to become indebted, in any
manner or for any purpose, to an amount, including existing indebtedness, in the aggregate exceeding five per centum on the value
of the taxable property therein, to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes, previous to the incurring of SU&lt;;h
indebtedness." Comparing the two provisions, it will be seen that
the Amendment follows closely the language of the original limitation, the differences being: ( r) The Amendment applies only to
Chicago; (2) the Amendment inserts the word "full" before the
word "value"; (3) the Amendment substitutes for "therein" the
words "within its limits," and (4) the Amendment substitutes the
words "either for State or municipal purposes," a disjunctive
phrase, in place of the words "for State and county taxes," a
conjunctive phrase.
The only points that need be considered are the legal significance
of the insertion of the word "full" before the word "value," and
of the substitution of the disjunctive phrase, "either for State or
municipal purposes," in the place of the conjunctive phrase, "for
State and county taxes."
Whether the insertion of the word "full" before the word "value"
works a material change in our Constitution depends upon the
meaning of the word "value" as used in the original limitation upon

�24

LAW SCHOOL.

municipal indebtedness. When considering the meaning and practical operation of said limitation, it is necessary to keep in mind
that the value of property is one thing, and the mode or manner
of ascertaining that value is another and different thing. In 1870,
when our Constitution was written, and throughout the history of
this State, down to the year 1898, the value of property upon which
taxes were to be extended, meant its full, fair, cash value, that is to
say, the amount it would bring at a fair, voluntary, bona fide sale,
and the law required the assessors to set down on their li5ts that
full, fair, cash value as a basis for the extension of taxes, State and
municipal. But the assessors in fact never obeyed this mandate
of the law, but violated it openly, flagrantly and in the wholesale,
by returning values rarely as high as 50 per cent. of the true value,
and often as low as, if not lower than, 15 per cent. of the true
value, as the full, fair, cash value of property for taxation, and
making oath to the returns. The people, except the school teachers
of Chicago in 1900 (State Board of Equalization vs. The People,
ex rel. Catharine Goggin, et al., 191 Ill., 528), and all Departments
of the Government have always winked at this notorious and
wholesale violation of law by our assessors. (Bureau County vs.
C. B. &amp; Q. R. R. Company, 44 Ill., 229). When this customary
wholesale violation of law by our assessors is kept in mind, and, as
Mr. Medill said in his speech in the Constitutional Convention in
support of this limitation on the amount of municipal indebtedness,
"We are foolish if we lay this out of view," it becomes at once apparent that, if our constitutional limitation upon the amount of
municipal indebtedness has become inconvenient for Chicago, the
fault does not inhere in, or flow from, anything in the Constitution. The speech of Mr. Medill, above referred to, expounds this
constitutional limitation upon the amount of municipal indebtedness, and its operation in practice, with great lucidity, and completely
demonstrates, that, under it, if a way can be found to compel our
assessors to just stop making solemn oath to falsehoods, so gross
that they are regarded merely as innocent contributions to the
gaiety of the people, and to at least approximate to the simple
truth, about the true value of taxable property, the most "craving
appetite" for municipal debt can be satisfied. (See I Debates in C.
C., page 840; 2 Debates, page 126o) .
In considering the operation in practice of the original limitation,
it should also be remembered, that that limitation prohibits the
running of a municipal debt for a longer period than twenty years,
and requires the municipality to levy a direct annual tax sufficient
to pay the annual interest on the debt, and to provide a sinking
fund to pay the principal of the debt at the end of twenty years.
The principle of this provision is, that each generation should pay

�CHICAGO CHARTER AMENDMENT.

25

the debts that it incurs. It is believed, that Chicago has not always
conformed to that principle, and that, while its authorities have
always levied and collected the said direct annual tax, yet, until
Mr. Kerfoot became Comptroller, they always spent the money
arising from the tax, that should have gone into sinking funds,
for current expenses. The inevitable result has been refunding,
or the issue of new bonds when outstanding bonds matured. Under
such an administration of a municipality's power to borrow money,
that is to say, borrowing and never paying, any limitation upon
the amount that may be borrowed is bound to become inconvenient
in time. It should also be noticed, that the amounts in the sinking
funds may be deducted from the aggregate amount of outstanding
indebtedness in a calculation to determine whether a municipality
has reached its constitutional debt limit (Stone v. Chicago, 207 Ill.,
492, sro).
In the year 1898, the now familiar divisor-five feature made its
appearance in our tax law. Under that feature of our tax law the
assessor must set down in one column the full, fair, cash value of
property under the denomination "full value," divide by five, and set
down the quotient in another column under the denomination "assessed value," and the taxes are to be extended upon this assessed
value, and not upon the said full value. February 20, 190r, in
Chicago v. Fishburn, r8g Ill., 367, the Supreme Court decided that,
under this divisor five feature of our tax law, the word "value" in
the said limitation of the Constitution on the amount of municipal
indebtedness means the assessed value, and not the full value,
shown on the assessors' lists. This Amendment reverses, or, rather,
attempts to reverse, that decision, so far as Chicago is concerned,
and says that, in the case of this city, the said word "value" may,
if the General Assembly and the people of Chicago so will, mean
the full value, leaving it to mean the assessed value, so far as all
other municipal corporations in the State are concerned. But if
the General Assembly should repeal this divisor five feature of
our tax law, and that body clearly has the power so to do, what
would become of this part of this Amendment? Would not its
bottom drop out? Would it not cease to have any force or effect,
for lack of a subject or object upon which to operate?
The precise and exact legal effect de facto of this Amendment then,
so far as the amount of Chicago's municipal indebtedness is . concerned, and so long as the divisor five feature remains in our tax law,
is to make it possible for the word "value" in the constitutional
limitation to mean one thing in the case of Chicago, th'a t is "full
value," and another thing, that is "assessed value," in the case of
all other municipal corporations in the State. But, as above stated,

�26

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

it must be remembered that this Amendment amends the Constitu-

tion in this particular only so long as the present law remains in
force and effect. It is believed that no other instance can be found
in the history of the making and changing of written Constitutions
of a constitutional limitation upon the legislative power of the
legislature, which the legislature itself may, of its own will, set
aside and render inoperative and of no force and effect by the
simple and ordinary legislative process of the repeal of a statute.
It may not be improper here to notice the practical workings of our present tax law. The State Board of Equalization
concedes officially that, in the exercise of its power to assess "capital stock" and "railroad track," it sets down in the full value column
only about 70 per cent. of the true value of those kinds of taxable
property, and the Board justifies this administration of the tax law
on the ground that, in its judgment, and the law requires the Board
to form a judgment upon the matter as a basis for the exercise of
its equalizing powers, the local a5sessors all over the State set down
about 70 per cent. of the true value of property as its full value. If
the State Board of Equalization is right in this, then it follows,
that State and municipal taxes are, under our present law, extended
upon an assessed value of property which is only r4 per cent. of
its true value, and the constitutional limit upon the amount of indebtedness that may be incurred by a municipality is, therefore, in
fact, 5 per cent of 14 per cent. of the true value of the taxable
property within its limits. When, in addition, it is remembered that
the law sets a limitation upon the rate per cent. to be applied to the
assessed value of property to produce the revenue needed to meet
the appropriations for local municipal purposes, is it to be wondered
at if, upon examination, it turned out to be literally true, that the
municipal governments in some portions of the State really do
lack sufficient money to adequately and efficiently perform the
duties imposed upon them by the State? Is it not then fair to ask these
questions: Have the General Assembly and the assessors, in their
praiseworthy zeal to reduce taxes, overlooked, or been indifferent
to, the unavoidable financial needs of the Government, State and
municipal? Is not a reduction of taxes too costly, if the price paid
must be an impairment of the efficiency of the Government? What
difference does it make to the taxpayers of Chicago, now apparently willing, desirous and eager to have Chicago enter the market
as a heavy borrower of money, whether they pay the additional
direct annual taxes that must be levied and collected to pay the
annual interest on the amount borrowed, and the principal itself
at the end of twenty years (and it must always be remembered that
all the coercive powers of the courts, State and Federal, are at the

�CHICAGO CHARTER AMENDMENT.

27

disposal of a lender of money to Chicago to compel the levy and
collection of such direct annual taxes), or whether they pay the
same amount of additional taxes annually into the treasury of Chicago to be used in paying the annual corporate expenses of Chicago? Which is the better rule for Chicago, to borrow money with
which to pay its bills, or to pay its bills as it goes along, using its
power to borrow money sparingly?
But the only point here sought to be enforced, however, is that the
Constitution of the State is not at fault, if Chicago is not able to
go as deeply into debt as it desires, and, hence, that this Amendment
of the Constitution was not needed in order to enable Chicago to
create more indebtedness. Any wish Chicago may have to borrow
money can be easily gratified by the ordinary legislative process of
passing a new tax law, and the ordinary administrative process of a
correct and lawful administration of that law by the assessors.
Does the substitution above mentioned of the disjunctive phrase
"Either for State or Municipal purposes" in this Amendment, for
the conjunctive phrase, "State and County taxes" in the body of the
Constitution, work any material change in the constitutional limitation on the amount of municipal indebtedness? It could do so,
plainly, only in the event that the assessment for State taxes differed
from the assessment for county taxes, and in the further event, that
the assessment for Cook County's taxes differed from the assessment for Chicago's taxes. It is true, that there is nothing in the
Constitution requiring the State, county and city taxes to be extended upon the same assessment of property in Chicago. The
taxes of each of said governmental bodies politic may at any time,
so far as the Constitution is concerned, be extended upon entirely
different assessments. Since the law of April IO, r9or (Session
Laws, r9or, page 271), county and city taxes must be e~tended
upon the assessment of the local assessors, and State taxes upon the
assessment of the local assesso rs as equalized by the State Board of
Equalization. Under said law, and under the said conjunctive
phrase, "State and county taxes," in order to determine whether
Chicago has reached the constitutional limit on the amount of its
indebtedness, must one take the equalized assessment for State
taxes, or the assessment of the local assessors for county and city
taxes? If the said two assessments differ, obviously both cannot
be taken. Can either be taken, or must the assessment for city
and county taxes only be taken? For the purpose of determining
the legal effect of the substitution of said disjunctive phrase, "for
State or municipal purposes," it is not necessary to answer the
question. It is enough to say that both assessments cannot be
taken. And, therefore, it would seem to follow, that the con-

�28

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

junctive phrase "State and county taxes" is really disjunctive, and
means "State or county taxes."
But if the General Assembly should authorize one assessment of
property in Chicago for State taxes, another assessment thereof
for Cook County's taxes, and still another assessment thereof for
Chicago's taxes, as it may do, even without this amendment, then,
in that event, in applying the original limitation on the amount of
Chicago's indebtedness, which assessment should be taken, in order
to determine whether Chicago had reached its limit? Does the
said conjunctive phrase, "for State and county taxes," exclude from
the calculation the said assessment for ~hicago's taxes? Concede
that it does, then it follows, that the substitution of this disjunctive
phrase only amounts to this, namely, either it permits said assessment for Chicago's taxes to be used in the calculation, or it requires
that assessment to be used exclusively, even though the assessment
for State taxes, and the assessment for Cook County's taxes, might
be greater in amount.
But on that view, is this Amendment of very much importance?
Conceding that much may be said in favor of a plan of taxation
which would completely divorce the assessment of property for
State taxes from its assessment for all local, corporate taxes, because the extension of the State taxes on the local assessments
throughout the State always has, and does now, place before the
local assessors throughout the State one of the greatest of their
many temptations to undervalue property within their jurisdiction,
namely, to help their constituents to escape their just share of
taxation for State purposes, yet is there any strong practical reason
for the passage of a law requiring Cook County's taxes and Chicago's taxes to be extended upon different assessments of property
in Chicago? It would seem not, and, as above stated, until such
law is passed, the said change, if any, wrought in our fundamental
organic law by the substitution of the disjunctive phrase, ."either
for State or municipal purposes," for the conjunctive phrase, "State
and county taxes," cannot come into play and action.
But it is by no means certain, that there is any difference between
the phases, "for State and county taxes" and "either for State or
municipal purposes," other than a difference in words. When the
object aimed at by the framers of the Constitution is kept in mind,
and when the Revenue Article of the Constitution is considered in
all its parts, it seems not unreasonable to say that, when the framers
of the Constitution used the phrase, "for State and county taxes,"
they had in mind the two great purposes for which taxes are levied,
viz: State purposes, and local corporate, or municipal, purposes, and
the possibility that the General Assembly might, at some time, pro-

�CHICAGO CHARTER AMENDMENT.

29

vide for the extension of taxes levied for these purposes upon
different assessments. It is believed, that the expression, "county
taxes,'' was not, in 1870, an unusual colloquialism used to designate
all local corporate, or municipal, taxes, as distinguished from State
taxes.
III. To sum up: On the view that this new Amendment, on its true
construction and interpretation, operates to take Chicago out from
under all the limitations of the Constitution, by permitting the
General Assembly, with the consent of the electors of Chicago, to
legislate upon any subject embraced within the general legislative
topic of local municipal government in Chicago, except the subject
of street railroads, in utter disregard of each and every constitutional restriction or limitation upon the · legislative power of the
General Assembly, it seems impossible to sustain this Amendment.
Then, if that view is rejected as untenable, this new Amendment at
the most amends only three Articles of the Constitution in very
slight, wholly unsubstantial and unimportant, ways, permitting the
General Assembly; (I) to confine the privilege of electing to live
under a scheme or charter of local government framed by the General Assembly to the electors of one city in the State, to-wit,
Chicago; (2) to abolish, with the consent of the electors of Chicago, the names "justice of the peace" and "constable" in Chicago;
(3) to enable only one city in the State to-wit, Chicago, so long
as the divisor five feature of our tax law remains unrepeated, to
contract indebtedness, including existing indebtedness, to the amount
of five per cent. of the full value of taxable property in Chicago,
such full value to be ascertained by the last assessment, "either for
State or municipal purposes," previous to the incurring of any
indebtedness. The Amendment proceeds upon a misapprehension
of the true meaning of the constitutional phrase "local or special
laws" as applied to the subject of local government, and upon a
misapprehension of the true meaning and practical operation of the
constitutional limitation on the amount of municipal indebtedness.
The said changes in our fundamental organic law, wrought by this
Amendment, however slight, insignificant, unsubstantial and unimportant they may be for all practical purposes of government, are
yet probably of sufficient force to bring this new Amendment into
an encounter before the Supreme Court with the constitutional
prohibition that the General Assembly shall have no power to propose Amendments to more than one Article of this Constitution
at the same session. It seems entirely probable that the Supreme
Court may declare this Amendment, and, consequently, all acts of
the General Assembly based thereon, unconstitutional, and, therefore, void. It is possible, also, for the Supreme Court to declari;

this Amendment void, on the ground of triviality, because it touches,
affects and modifies the Constitution in such slight, unimportant
and peculiar ways, that, looking at the substance of things, it cannot
be regarded as an Amendment of the Constitution at all, within the
true spirit of the Article of the Constitution providing for its own
Amendment, but comes within the application of the maxim, De
minimis non curat lex, the lex being, in this instance, the fundamental organic law of a great State of the United States, and, in
the words of the highest authority on such a subject, John Marshall,
"In considering this question, then, we must never forget, that it is
a Constitution we are expounding" (McCulloch vs. State of Maryland, 4 Wheaton, 316, 407) . This Amendment must be judged by
the results produced by its actual operation upon men and things.
If it be said, that this Amendment enables the General Assembly to
put Chicago into a class by itself, and to give its electors an opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a "modern," "up-to-date" consolidated
municipal government, it may be answered, that the General Assembly, before and without this Amendment, had the power to do
the same thing, either by the instrumentality of a general local
government law with a local option provision, or by the instrumentality of a general act grading the cities of the State into classes
for the purpose of local government, the only limitation upon its
said power being, that it must extend to the electors of other cities
of the State a reasonable opportunity to attain the benefits and
privileges held out to the electors of Chicago; if it be said, that
this Amendment enables the General Assembly to allow Chicago
the privilege of borrowing large amounts of money, it may be
answered, that the General Assembly, before and without this
Amendment, had the power to do the same thing by the instrumentality of a tax law requiring taxes to be extended upon the "full
value" of property, and also requiring the assessors to obey the
law; and it may be further answered, that, when it is remembered
that all the provisions of the State and Federal Constitutions, in
whatever form expressed, operate in law only as restrictions and
limitations upon the legislative power of the General Assembly, the
provision in this Amendment touching the amount of Chicago's
indebtedness is not a constitutional restriction or limitation upon the
legislative power of the General Assembly, because that body may
disregard it, and render it inoperative, at will; if it be said, that
this Amendment enables the General Assembly to help to abolish
the names "justice of the peace" and "constable" in Chicago, and
makes a referendum provision mandatory or compulsory so far as
certain laws affecting the local government of Chicago are concerned, it may be answered by asking the question: Can the Su-

preme Court judicially say, that the General Assembly would have
proposed, and the electors would have adopted, this Amendment if
they knew th&lt;:re was nothing in it except the said provisions affecting
justices, constables and the referendum? It seems clear, that said
question admits of but one answer, viz: in the negative ( Cooley,
Principles of Constitutional Law, Ed. 2, p. 152, Rule 8). It may also
be suggested, that it is likely to prove a hard task to persuade the
Supreme Court to believe, that this Amendment either extends to
any appreciable extent the sphere of the mandatory or compulsory
referendum in matters of local government, or adds any appreciable
measure to the length or to the strength of the legislative arm of the
Government to reach and correct "effectually" abuses, legislative
or administrative, in the conduct of the offices of justice of the
peace and constable in Cook County and Chicago. Upon any
view one may be able to take of the true meaning of this Amendment, it seems quite evident that it is likely to have a stormy passage
through the courts, and is in danger of being wrecked in the
Supreme Court. A judgment of the Supreme Court declaring said
Amendment void would do no harm.
It does not, therefore, follow, however, that our representatives in
the General Assembly should refuse to pass any laws upon the subjects specifically enumerated in this Amendment, if they think that
laws upon said subjects are needed to promote the general good, but
they should, on the aforesaid views, in order to avoid a possible
miscarriage of justice, refuse to base any laws upon the purported
grants of power to the General Assembly contained in this Amendment. The vote in favor of the adoption of said Amendment, even if
without any legal significance, as an expression of the will of the
electors, is yet of some significance in fact, and may be viewed as an
informal mandate from the electors to our representatives in the General Assembly to pass laws upon said enumerated subjects. As above
indicated, the General Assembly may obey this mandate, basing its
laws entirely upon the Constitution as it stands without this
Amendment, the danger of basing a law upon the Amendment
being, that the law may be declared void by the Supreme Court,
and hence may never take effect. Aside from this danger; the only
practic~l difference between laws "based on" the Constitution and
laws 'based on" this Amendment is, that the privilege of enjoying
the benefits, and the duty of bearing the burdens, of laws based
on this Amendment must be confined to the people of Chicago,
while a reasonable opportunity to accept both the privilege of enjoying the benefits, and the duty of bearing the burdens, of laws
of exactly the same tenor, but based on the Constitution as it
stands without this Amendment, must be extended to the people
of every city in the State of the same class or grade.
