DISTRICTS SHARE OF FEES
Auditor Garrison's Recommendation ia
Chief Justice Court of Apueals.

Upon the recommendation of Auditor
John r. Garrison. the District Commission
ers will ask the chief justice of the District
Court of Appeals to recommend In his esti-
mates to Congress for the next fiscal wear
an amendment to existing laws providing
that the fees collected by the clerk of the
Court of Appeals be deposited in the treas
ury, either wholly or one-half to the credit
of the revenues of the District of Column
bia.
In calling this matter to the attention of
the chief justice of the Court of Appeals
the Commissioners will mention that one
half of the salaries and expenses of that
court have been paid from the revenues of
the District as provided in the organic act
and in the respective appropriation acts.
At present, under the construction placed
upon the law, all fees collected by the
clerk of the Court of Appeals have been
and are deposited in the treasury wholly
to the credit of the United States.
I'm view of the fact that one-half of the
salaries and expenses of this court is paid
by the District, the Commissioners state,
and one-half of the costs in cases in that
court where Judgment is rendered against
the District Is also paid from the revenues
OF the District. there seems to be Lack Of
equity in the requirement that all fees re-
cefved by the clerk OF the Court of Appeals
shall be deposited in the treasury wholly
to the credit of the United States
1t is mentioned by the Commissioners
that all fees, penalties, costs and forfeit
ures collected in the Police Court are de-
posted in the treasury wholly to the credit
of the District and under the code all fees
received by the justices of the peace are
deposited to the credit of the District. The
rule adopted in the case of these courts, 1t
is argued, seems to be precedent for SINH
lar disposition of fees In the Court of APP
peals. The fees received in the Court of
Appeals amount to something like 5000
annually.
The Commissioners state that should the
Court of Appeals deem 1t appropriate to in
sert an amendment suggested in the es
Inmates for the next fiscal year, the Dis
trict authorities win be pleased to explain
the matter to Congress and urge the pas
sage of such an amendment

OBLIGATION OF CITIZENS.
Mr. Drew's Exposition of the Duty Of
the Hour

George Washington Drew, member Of
the District bar, delivered an address last
evening at the Columbia Theater on Our
Vote" His theme was the moral obliga-
ton resting upon every American citizen
to cast his ballot. In the latter part of
the address the speaker paid high tribute
to the private character and public career
Of President Roosevelt.
He said in part:
"Ceaseless activity Is the law Of the uni
verse and we must degenerate or progress
To enjoy the benefit and manifold blessings
of the law we must keep in harmony with
the inevitable motive Of the law. The voice
of the people is made effective only through
their votes. The votes of the people are
the approval or disapproval of the federal
or state branch of the administration of
their laws. delegated by the people to their
representatives.
1.-The proper study of the history of the
past events of government will increase our
love of wise laws and make us mindful of
unwise laws, and should ever make us feel
our individual responsibility as citizens,
from whom the laws of our country col
lectively emanate.
"Our vote means the preservation or
eventual destruction of all that is near
and dear to us-Our homes, our country,
our character. Our system of government
of the people, delegated by the people, and
for. the equal rights, under the law, for
each and every citizen. in the interest of
the whole people. has long ceased to be an
experiment among the nations of the world,
but will never cease to need the wisdom
and protection Of the people for the wise
administration of the laws of our country"
Referring to the record of Mr.. Roosevelt
in the presidential chair.s the speaker said:
Its examination can only increase the
patriotism and pride of every American
citizen for his American spirit and Ameri-
can methods. He has master cind, and
more than that. he is a master character.
sparkling gems in his developed physique
worthy the name-the temple of his God
and the spirit Of God dwelleth in him. He
is great American and maker Of politi-
cal history of America worthy of great
American"
Mr.. Drew was introduced by Attorney ].

Band furnished music during the evening.
