Virtue ITS OWN reward
COnsuls Who Kept Secret the
Amount of Their Fees Will
Lose Thereby.

Washington. May 22.-One Of the I'm
expected results of the consular reor-
ganiZation act now being placed in Op-
Grafton is the discontinue of some con-
sular officers who have been cOnceaIing
the actual amount of the unofficial fees
Of their offices. The practice was not
dishonest in one sense. for the COnSuIs
are in many cases permitted to retain
all such fees. But for the sake of the
records of the department and in order
to email bic the officials to know the state
of the business Of the -consuIates it was
required that all such fees should be
accounted for But some cOnsuIs feared
that to publish the amount of such fees
they received would be to make their
offices too attractive to Office-seekers.
so they failed to make the full returns.
Their punishment came when con-
gTess passed the reorganization act on
the basis of substitution of lump saIa-
ries for the combined salary and fee
system of compensation There was no
intention of reducing the compensation
of many of the COnsuls but it has nat
UIally followed that the cOnsuIs who
failed to return their full fees have
suffered q substantial reduction.
