Given the Same Application.

But with interest and sinking fund in
cluded in the approved estimates. on
which the appropriation was based, as
was the case in this very act. it could
do just as it did and keep its obligation,
What is said as to the clause in the act
of 1873 about payment of interest by the
Secretary of the Treasury is applicable
here also, and the same reasons apply
with practically the same force.
I'm the act of June ~. 1875 providing
for the fiscal year 1879, the first year
under the organic act and the half-and-
half plan. Congress had made an appro-
priation to be credited on its proportion
of the expenses of the District of Co
lumbia,' and had provided for advance
ments out of it to pay interest. BY the
deficiency bill of March ;, 1879. Con-
gress appropriated an additional sum.
which, together with its first appropriation
for the general expenses of the District
of Columbia made up the United States
80 per centum of the expenses of the
government of the District of Columbia,
and by the permanent legislation in the
act approved of the same date set apart
the necessary sum out of that contribu-
ton for sinking fund. The fact that this
was accomplished through "A deficiency
bill is fairly conclusive of the mathe-
mates applied. without repetition, and
the construction put on the provision at
the time of it's enactment.
with the fiscal year first following the
enactment of the organic act the sinking
fund began The legislation establishing
it, and coordinate legislation recognized
it as a half-and-half proposition, and per
manent legislation preceding required
that it be so.
Congress. in the act of January 81,
1881 t21 Stat. 322), provided for de-
ficiency in the appropriation for inter
est on the 3.65 bonds. and specifically
made if on the half-and- half plan, and
in the act of March ), 1881 id. 45S,
1863 gave some authority for the pur-
chase of any of the funded indebted
ness of the District for the sinking
fund authorized to be created for the
redemption and payment of the indebt-

Credits Congress With Reason.

Taxes, of course. could not be levied
TO produce actually and exactly this
so per centum: the result might be a
surplus or deficit; ii a surplus it could
not be expected that it would be sufi-
cient, if the taxes We're levied as direct
ed, to meet these large interest pay
ments; whether in fact a large surplus
or a deficit resulted in any one year
could have no bearing on the con-
struction of a statute which authorized
taxation only to the extent of so per
centum of a specified amount
Il am wholly unable to conceive that
Congress. a body of men of Intelligence
and business ability, having in hand the
relief of a chaotic condition and the max
ing f adequate and equitable provisions
for the future. could have devised plan
under which it made the United States a
guarantor for the payment of interest
by the District. and which it expected
the District itself to pay, and then formu-
late for the District fiscal plan which,
in its proper operation as directed would
leave the District without the ability to
pay.
And from another viewpoint, If inter
est on these bonds was not to be in
cluded i'll the expenses 10 be estimated
for and approved, and paid on the half
and-half plan as provided in the act OF
District TO levy other taxes than those
necessary to raise 10 per centum of those
estimated and approved expenses. what
has already become of the faith of the
United States pledged in section of
the act of 1874? BY proper proportional
appropriations has become sounding
brass and a tinking cymbal.' and the
causing to be levied upon the property
within said District such taxes as will
do so pledge is open to the suspicion
that the injection of the do so therein
was but the gliding calculated to induce
the Districts creditors to invest in a
gold brick.
But how simple to get away from all
of this and keep the pledged faith by
concluding. in line with the actual prac-
tice of many years since the passage of
the organic act, that il was the intention
that interest on the funded debt, these
bonds included, was to be included in the
estimated and approved expenses of the
government of the District of Columbia
and appropriated for on the half-and- hall
basis. How else can be kept the pledge
faith that the United States will pro-
vide the revenues to pay the interest on
these bonds by proper proportional APP
preparations and by causing to be levied
upon the property within said District
such taxes as will do So"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1914-01-05

after 1880 interest only on the three-siXty-
nve bonds would be included in the gen.
erai estimates for interest and sinking
Iund on the funded debt and that the
permanent appropriation referred 70
would furnish the sinking fund for the
redemption of these bonds.
IN discussing these provisions OF THIS
act l am mindful of the fact that l am
discussing an annual appropriation act
winch, so far as appropriations of that
character go, makes law only for that
year and as applicable to them: but II
happens in this case that this act mas
more bearing than usual on other acts
and on permanent legislation, and that
the permanent sinking fund legislation
as to the 3.65 bonds is found in this act
and Immediately following the annual
provision just under discussion.
Both of these provisions being found
IN section B. which is devoted to APP
propriations for the District of Co
iumoia, 1 quote the material parts.
Quotations From the Act.
Section 3. That the sum of s1,6S2,
HS1S be, and is hereby, appropriated
for the purchase of paying one-half
or the estimated expenses of the gov
eminent of the District of Columbia,
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1880,
namely:
For the interest and sinking fund
on the funded debt s1,155, 5S355
And there is hereby appropriated out
OF the proportional sum which the United
States may contribute toward the eX-
penses of the District of Columbia in
pursuance of the act of Congress- ap-
proved June II. 1878, for the fiscal year
ending June 10. 1879. and annually there
after. such sums as will. with the inter
est thereon at the rate of 3.63 per centum
per annum, be sufficient to pay the prin-
cipal of the three-siXty five bonds of the
District of Columbia at matur-
ity; which said sums the Secretary of
the Treasury shall annually invest in
said bonds at not exceeding the par value
thereof: and all bonds so redeemed shall
cease to bear interest and shall be can
celed and destroyed in the same manner
that United States bonds are Cancelled
and destroyed.
My attention is called to the fact that
1t appropriates for sinking fund out of
the proportional sum which the United
States may contribute toward the ex-
penses of the District of Columbia, but
it is the proportional sum which it may
contribute. not as an annual gift. to be
determined by the generosity of the mo-
ment, but in pursuance of the act of
Congress approved June II, 1878.
1T is apparent again that the United
States could not appropriate for sinking
fund out of the proportional sum con-
tributed for expenses of the District. eX-
Guiding from expenses interest and sink

included. pursuant to the act of June IL,

NO MORE SALOONS
AT ROADHOUSES

Judge F. M. Brown has signed an order of court directing that no more licenses he issued to appli- cants for saloon privileges Ht towns camps OF roadhousas, not the head quarters Of a. resident United States deputy marshal. The order has been made necessary because of the abuse of the privilege by many liquor dealers at cua of the way places, who have Uoon reported to iavo sold liquor to natives, result ing in great suffering 10 the h. diaus and their families.
 Under the new order the appIica- ton of Andrew Gro5woId for li- cense at Sand Point was denied, al- so one requested by John F. Clark, in the Nizina, and that of Hitch cock & Waterman, at susitna.
 Buck Uoyt, the salocntceper at GuIkaua, and Cowels at Copper Cen ter, will have to shut up shop on July 1. unless the Department of Justice allows the appointment of a marshal at those camps.-Valdez Miner.
