value to tho depostors. In this way
such banks arc an incentive for

respect accompanies tho possession
of little money, and such a system,
therefore, tends to bottOr citizenship.
1t also tends to place considerable
money at tho disposal of the govern

advised that the French government pays
on the expectation of fish from ST. Pierre
Miquelon. and possibly from other French
ports. a bounty of about ten francs per

THE DISTRICT OFFICES.
Validity Of "Home Rule Law" Ques-
tion for Treasury Omcials.


In the event Of acceptance by Mr.. Has
kea OF Ohio OF the office of sea.er OF
weights and measures for the District, 1t
will be necessary for the Treasury Depart
ment to render a decision as to the valid
ity Of the home-rule law regarding appoint
ments to positions under he District gov
ernment. Should the act OF the legislative
assembly OF August p. lS11-the home
rule law"-be declared valid by the treas
ury officials, then persons holding Office
within the scope of the act and not legally
citizens of the District will find themselves
in somewhat of a uuandary.
= The positions affected ,,y the act are the
auditor. coroner. attorney, assistant at
torney, surveyor. assessor water registrar
and inspector of water meters.
Should the law be sustained. and any
Of the offices mentioned should be held
by outsiders, the Commissioners would OF
necessity have to remove the incumbents.
for the treasury officials will withhold the
pay of such individuals on the ground that
they were not legally in Office. A possi-
bility exists that the back pay of such
officials would figure in the matter Tor
the same reason, and the Commissioners
might be held personally accountable for
all moneys thus paid out. unless Congress
should come to their relief.
In support of the validity of the law it
is pointed out that the District Supreme
Court sometime ago, in an assessment case
ruled indirectly that the law is valid be-
cause the assessments i'm question were not
made by an official for the existence CT
whose Office the law provides.
dered an opinion to the District Commits
sioners, April IL. 1896. which is said to
practically sustain the validity of the acts
