Is designed to correct an evil that, 10 some
States, has become too serious to be longer
overlooked. The order In question will notify
all persons holding Unlted States commls-
sIons that The acceptance or holding OF office
under any Stale authority is inconsistent
with the scope of their official duty, and an
Improper Interference with Siata concerns.
The holding of such Office will be deemed
tho vacation OF tho pUuiUluns held by them un-
der Federal authority, and their successors
will be appointed. This order will be Issued
very early 10 the new year, and will take ef-
feet from and after the 4Ll OF March. The
inspiring cause oil it Is the fact that j some
Sales; notably Louisiana and Florida, 'ry
