APPROPRIATIONLOW

What Director Louis A. Hill calls
an 'fimpossible situation has arisen
In the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing as the result of CHARGES
that hei violated the law when he
recently discharged a number Of
plate printers from the bureau
Thee director said yesterday he
had to let the plate printers out to
keep expenses within the amount
appropriated for the fiscal year.
This appropriation rs 100000 less
than last year. - t','..
Counsel for the dismissed men
charge that Director Hill had no
right under the laws Of 1919 and
1919 to make the dismissals. :
speciaes Power Presses.
The 1912 law provides that all
notes and bonds shall be printed on
hand roller presses, The law Of 1919
was war emergency measure. and
gave the Secretary of the Treasury
authority to order securities print
ed on modern power presses. These
are much speedier than hand
presses. The act also provided that
the force of plate printers then en-
ployed should not be reduced
Director Hill said that so long as
the power presses are used the bu-
reau can get out all the work re-
quired of II even with the present
limited force Of plate printers.
So far the Secretary of the Treas
ury has not declared the war emer-
gency over. Therefore, counsel for
the dismissed plate printers con-
tend that Hill had no right to re-
duce the force.
what Decision Entaila-
Should Mr. Mellon declare the
emergency over. the bureau would
have to use the hand roller presses.
as stipulated in the law of 1912. As
these presses turn out from three
to four times less work than the
power presses, IL would mean that
additional plate printers would
have 10 be put to work.
The quandary that Director Hill
finds himself in is this:
Had he not discharged the plate
printers. their salaries would have
caused the bureaus expenses to ex-
ceed the appropriation. Now that
he has discharged them. he Is ac-
cused of violating the law which
stipulated that those plate printers
be kept at work.
Would Require More Prfnter.-
Should the bureau revert to the
methods provided in the law Of
1912. he will have to hire more plate
printers, thus once more bringing
the bureaus expenses above the
appropriation
Hill has turned the whole matter
over to the Solicitor of the Treas
ury for a decision, and has also
placed II before Chairman Madden.
OF the House Appropriations Com
mittee.
The only way in which the sit
uation can be smoothed out. IL is
believed, Is to have an additional
appropriation made for the bureau
for the current fiscal year.

RENT COMMISSION
RULES BALL ACT Is
NOT RETROACTIVE
Leases Signed Prior to
Approval of Measure
Unaffected by 1t.
MANY CASES VOIDED
Decides Presumption of Law
Is Prospective Unless
Otherwise Stated.
MANY CASES vOIDED

Washington tenants who signed
leases prior to the enactment of the
Ball rent act. October 22, 1919. will
be unable to appeal for lower rents
until their leases have expired
After a Today deliberation. the
D.. Rent Comission made this decision
yesterday. in which il was ruled
that under the terms OF the Ball act
no provisions are made by which
the law is retroactive. 1t was fur
ther stated that in the absence of
direct wording in this respect it is
to be presumed that Congress
meant the law to be prospective"
only.
Prior to this announcement a
certain amount of confusion was
caused over this point. Hundreds
of cases will be dropped owing to
this decision.
Signed Lease Oct. 10, 1919
The ruling was made in the case
of Isador Reichman. who filed a
complaint May IL against Israel S.
and Mary A. Miller. 1t was alleged
that the rent of S275 a month for
sol II street northeast was unrea
sonabie. 1t was found that Reich
man signed a lease September 10,
1919. month before the Ball act
went in effect.
Part of the ruling follows:
Upon consideration. the commits
sion is of the opinion that it is
without authority to modify leases
entered into by the parties thereto
prior to the approval of the said
food control and the District Cf CO.
lambia rents act 1t is not a ques-
b, ton of the power OF Congress to
authorize the commission to pass
upon such leases; the sole question
Is whether the power has been exer-
cised.
"Prospective'' Is Presumed.
Although the legislature may
have the power to enact RETROSPECT
tive laws, construction whicn
gives to a statute a retroactive
operation is not favored. and sucn
effect will not be given unless it
is distinctly expressed or clearly
and necessarily implied that the
statute is to have a retroactive ef-
feet There is always a presump-
tion- that statutes are intended to
operate prospectively only. ana
words ought not to have a retro
spect-ve operation unless they are
so clear, strong, and imperative
that no other meaning can be an
nexed to them. or unless the inten-
tion of the legislature can not be
otherwise satisfied. Every reason
able doubt is resolved against a
retroactive operation of a statute
1T therefore follows that said
complaint should be, and the same
is hereby, dismissed"

 FOR SMOKING CIGARETTES

BERLIN, July 25. - Two English women smoking cigarettes during a performance of Richard Wagners s twilight of the Gods" at the Munich Opera House, were compelled to leave the theater, the audience frant cally applauding their being escorted out by policeman.
 Commenting on the incident, the Muenchener Nachrichten ironically advised the management to issue rules of etiquette" for special use of foreigners, alleging that the Huns" and ''boches" still reverence art like fetish, which, through the eyes of real civilized countries" may be looked upon as very "reactionary."
