A Lesson From Henrico.

The statement that expert accountants
the accounts OF the late treasurer of
Henrico county comes as Il great shock
to the public. Mr.. Todd was elected
under peculiar circumstances and his
obligations were peculiarly binding. He
had the implicit confidence Of his con-
stituents. and they will be reluctant to
believe that he abused It and was un :
faithful to his trust, There may be
mitigating circumstances, and we sin
cerely hope that there arc. He Is not
here to speak for himself, and tho public
should withhold judgment until all the
facts are ascertained
But the incident serves MS text for an
art icie on subject which we have often
discussed In these columns. If there was
n shortage. why did the authorities not
discover II until after the treasurer was
dead? For the single reason that the
Legislature has refused to establish a
thorough inspection system, Withou,
such system Irregularities may run
on ndennilely, ana " Is only by aCci-
dent that they are discovered
Treasurer Todd was heavily bonded, and
II is said that in any event the govern.
ment will lose no money But that does
not cxcnlpate tho government Tho loss
will fall upon the guaranty company. but
the blame Will be npon the government
! 1t Is the moral duty OF the State to kecy

The Prestderr has now come forward
with the following concession. which WILL
be offered as an amendment to the bill:
THAT all orders Of the commission ex-
cent orders for the payment OF money,
shall take effect within such reasonable
time as shall be prescribed by the COM
mission and shall continue for such Pc
Rod OF time, not exceeding two years,
as shall be prescribed In the order OF

ferred on the Circuit Courts of tho
United States tn hear and determine In
any such suit whether the order COM
planned OF was beyond the authority OF
tho commission or In violation OF tho
rights OF the carrier secured by the Con-
Etitution."
There seems to be wide difference OF
opinion In Washington as TO what would
be the effect OF this amendment, in
case II should become law, The Wash
ngton Post says that II was carefully
analysed to ascertain whether under Its
terms an order OF the commission lower
Ing a rate could be delayed in taking
effect. Attorney General Moody and
other lawyers pointed out that the dis
erection OF the commission is absolute.
