To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir.--A few months ago II great deal
was said in the papers about an Office
holders trust In connection with our
present very unsatisfactory fee sys-
TEN. 1t is generally believed that the
Influence and power Of the oticehold-
ers OF the state have made reform In
our system OF paying public officials n
very difficult proposition.
There is ono phase OF this oflice-
holding business that / have not scen
touched upon, and ] think 1t very
important one-so important that many
States have acted upon 1t. The mat
ter to which refer liz the holding OF
two or moro Offices by the same person.
! have in mind the case of a very cs-
Unable gentleman, who is now holding
three positions under the government,
and is "a candidate for fourth place
1t would seem we'll TO provide that no
person should hold more than one gov
ernmental position to which there is
any compensa ton attached, when the
aggregate compensation OF tho places
so held should exceed $1,000. One
man. one office" Is n very good maxim.
