HE OBJECTS TO THE BONUS.
Assessor Trimble Files Objections
TO a Mutual Benefit Society

Assessor Triruhle. whose objections to
the bill for the organization of a mutual
benefit association among government en-
ployes were noted in The Evening Times OF
yesterday, does not regard the measure al
proper one for various reasons lie IS of
the opinion that the prime object of the
association is to enable borrowers to obtain
money at a reasonable rate of interest. He
regards it as bad policy To grant by
legislative enactment special privileges to
one organization that are denied to other
organizations or individuals.
He refers by this to the clause provid-
ing for bonus which is matter of special
agreement between the borrower and the
lender
IF this bill should become a law" the
assessor declares, 1.-The association would
be authorized to charge usurious interest
under the name of bonus The two
words are synonymous.
1T is admitted he says, THAT dis
bursting officers of the government have no
responsibility under the bill except in case
of default of the borrower 1t is evident,
however, that an obligation once incurred
must be filed for record a nd becomes there
after lien in preference to all other debts
without due process of law.
The general tendency is to encourage
system Of borrowing by the employees of the
various departments
Upon Mr.. Trimble's motion the case was
referred to Attorney Thomas.

THE PRACTICE OF PHARMACY.
Amendments Proposed to the Bill
Pending in Congress-

The Commissioners have recommended
certain amendments to House bill $3.50
intended to regulate the practice of phar-
macy in the District, and favor its
adoption as amended.
They advise that the seventh section lie
stricken cut and suggest another omission,
the effect of which is to enable the com
uissioners OF pharmacy TO determine the
qualifications OF those whom they register,
whether they be graduates or not.
There appears To be no good reason -
they say, why higher standard of educa-
ticn should be required OF non-graduates
than OF those who have received diplomas.
The acceptance OF diplomas indiscrimi-
nately is dangerous" they add, 'for the
reason that the standard TO be required
by school of pharmacy prior TO the issuance
OF diplomas is not fixed by law
There are other suggestions of amend
ment in the matter OF phraseology and
other minor points.
