Mr.. Aidrich and the Currency

Why should not the Senate committee
in charge of the currency question invite
Mr.. Aldrich-Nelson w. Aldrich-to ap-
pear and give his views about what should
he done?
The Rhode Islander has three claims to
the committees attention. % He is a
business man of long experience, large
connections, and large success. CD He
was for thirty years a member OF the
United States Senate, and for a long time
chairman of the finance committee. (3)
He has made close and thorough study
of the currency question, and is the author
OF bill, which has been widely dis
cussed, bearing upon currency reform.
Surely session with such a man would
interest the committee, and profit might
come of it. -
For one thing, 1t might help to have Mr..
Aldrich explain again his bill in COM
parison or contrast with the plans now
under discussion. His bill has been con-
demned by the democratic leaders. What
does he think of their bills? What did he
think of the Glass bill when it was first
published? What does he think of the
a popular misconception of his own bill.
upon what is it founded?
At the start the business leaders of the
country seemed not to be counted in the
equation. Some of them complained. They
thought they were entitled to a say about
what should be done. AS they viewed
the matter. the proposed reform bore too
much of a political cast, and threatened
to take the form of a great political
machine.
denied this, there was a change of atti-
tude on their part toward bankers and
other business men, and since then bust
ness sentiment has been freely taken
More is to come. Before the Senate be-
gins debate, much will be known about
what the business world, and particularly
the banking portion. thinks Of the whole
currency proposition.
Mr.. Aldrich is out of politics by his
own choice. But presumably his interest
in public affairs continues keen. and in this
particular affair. to which he has given
SO much thought and attention, he can
not but be profoundly concerned. Why
not call him and interrogate him about a
subject Of such wide and general moment!
All shades of opinion should be sought.
Many shades exist; and 1t can only be by
obtaining and weighing all that re-
form, meeting the requirements of the
country, can be evolved.

IL passes understanding how the body
Of "A man so well known as big Tim"
sullivan could lie unidentified i'm a

days without being identified. 1t was
gsperally known that Sullivan was

The fact that man so generally

The Law and Assessments.

II is TO be wondered whether the Com
missioners, before actually appointing
Mr. oyster assistant assessor of the
District, consulted and fully studied the
statutes and searched the decisions of
the courts to ascertain his legal status
and eligibility for the office. 1t was pat
mt that he was physical resident of
Washington, in the sense of having his
drmicile here. He had been here for
many years employed in government
position and voting in the state of his
appointment To that office. Pennsylvania.
Those were well known facts. One of
the Commissioners is himself lawyer,
and the board has at its service a cor
poration counsel. Did these officials as
certain the meaning of bona fide resi-
dent of the District before placing a
commission in the hands of Mr.. Oyster
to participate in the making of the trien-
rial tax assessment? Did they consult
the rulings of the courts this subject?
Surely if they did they could not have
gone far else they would have seen the
plain denial by those courts of various
claims TO bona fide residence in the
District on the part of persons having
votes in the states.
But perhaps they were aware of the
possibility of judicial reversal of their
selection. but were willing to take a
chance. In this they have placed the
District in a most serious predicament
They proceeded, 1T is known in fact
upon the assumption that all the actions
of a de facto assistant assessor were
valid until actually ousted an entirely
safe assumption in the case of practi-
cally any official other than one taking
part in the assessment of property for
taxation purposes. Had the Commits
sioners looked far enough or diligently
enough they would have found that the
highest court regards property assess
ment with the strictest jealousy as to all
the forms and technicalities of statutory
requirement, and has ruled upon more
than one occasion that even the least
departure from the letter of the law re-
garding the qualification of participant
ing official is fatal to the validity of an
assessment
This, as The Star has heretofore OBJ
served, is not a sentimental matter, a
matter OF policy, a matter of newspaper
controversy. but a matter of the gravest
fact, affecting the very financial life of
the District. 1t is not too late for the
commissioners to retreat from their
present position. which involves so much
OF danger TO the municipality. The assess
ment has not proceeded so far but that
1t can be started over again. under the
auspices of officials as to whose status
there is no question. Or. the question of
Mr.. oysters bona fide residence in the
District at the time of his appointment
may be quickly submitted to court and
determined to ascertain whether he Is
competent in the eye of the law to pro-
ceed with the assessment. But to go on
with the assessment with this doubt I'M
settled. in the face of the decisions OF
the courts that bear squarely upon the
Issue here involved Is to invite disaster.

The Recorder of Deeds.

If the Department of Justice is going
to consider the reimbursement of the
office of recorder of deeds of this Dis
trict, it is to be hoped that it will bear
in mind the fact that it is most distinctly
and strictly local, municipal establish
ment, dealing exclusively with local mat
tiers and local people. To transfer 1t
from it's present semi-independent status
to that of a division or appendage of the
Department of Justice would be unjusti-
fed and an affront to the people of the
District From time to time suggestions
of this character are heard in govern
mental circles, with regard to various di-
visions of the District administration.
The process of ASSIGNING municipal func-
tons to various federal branches, once
begun as a matter of policy, would be
never-ending until the entire District
government was destroyed. The police
department might be put under the jul
rsdiction of the Secretary of War as log
icaliy as to place the recorder of deeds
under the Attorney General. The health
department might be made division OF
he public health service. The street
cleaning department. dealing with soils
and soil-naking materials, might go to
the Secretary of Agriculture. Other dis
tributions of the municipal branches are
readily to be conceived. In the case OF
the recorder of deeds it is true that the
head of that office is appointed by the
President, but there was never any par
ticular warrant for so organizing the es-
tablishment The recorder should be
named by the Commssioners-under
