WA RNED BY THE PRESIDENT.
OFFICEHOLDERS MUST NOT ATTEMPT
TO INFLUENCE LEGISLATION IN
THEIR OWN INTERESTS.

Washington Jan 31.-The President has
issued the following executive order:
All officers and employees of the United states
of every description, serving in or under any or
the executive departments. and whether so serv-
ing in or out of Washington. are hereby FORBID
den either directly or indirectly, individually or
through associations to solicit an increase or
pay or to influence attempt to influence IN
their own interests any legislation Whatever
either before Congress or its committees or in
any way save through the heads OF the depart
ments in under which they serve, on penalty
of dismissal from the government service.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
White House, Jan. 81, 1902.
1t is understood that the order is the result OF
complaints made by members Of Congress that
postoffce employees. and particularly route
agents and rural delivery letter carriers in their
districts, are making every possible effort TO
secure legislation by Congress favorable TO their
interests. and in some instances threats had
been made that unless their representatives IN
Congress favored such legislation they would
not be reelected The President is fully de-
termned that this practice shall cease.
