Recorder Of Deeds.

At pages 50 to 81 the report dis
cuases the office of the recorder OF

the report with reference to this office
and the only thing which seems to
call for any comment by this depart
ment is the suggestion that there is
included in the statement OF certain
fees which are turned into the Treas

At page SO the report refers to the
fact that although various acts prior
to 1873 had authorized the creation
Of a sinking fund for the payment of
funded debts of the District that
only $14,943.73 was turned over to
the treasurer of the United States as
ex-off1cio- Commissioners of the Dis
.trict of Columbia sinking fund on

whether this is the full amount that

pages A and As discussion is made of
the fact that the register of wills by
law retains from the fees and emolu-
inents of his office his personal COM
pensation and the other expenses of
his Office and that the law provides
that the surplus Of such fees and
emoluments shall be paid into the
credit of the District Of Columbia and
that there are large uncollected bal
ances which are not considered In the
calculation of these surplus fees. 1t
is my opinion that the uncoliected
fees should not be considered in the
surplus fees and emoluments of. this
office. but only the fees which are
actually collected and paid into the
office of the register of Wills should
be so considssed tbn auessa9In rsrIster may ~
willis has exercised sufficient dill
eence in the collection of these fees,
but that goes to the question of the
full performance of his duty, With
fainly the District of Columbia is not
responsible for any failure on the
mart of the register of wills. and do
not see how either the District or the
United States profited by such failure
to collect these fees. Therefore, l do
not see how this in any way should
AFFECT the fiscal relations between
them. Another question is presented
as to whether or not advance pay
ments or deposits upon work to be
done in the future should be con-
sidered in the fees and emoluments
of a given fiscal year. This is more
in the nature of an accounting mat
tar than Of q legal matter. However,
it may SAVIOR somewhat Of legal
question, and it Is my opinion that
fses and emoluments as used in this
statute means fees earned and paid.
and advanced deposits would not be
Included within any such definition.

Advances by United States.
The report on page IL refers to the
fact that prior to the fiscal year 1914
there was a balance due to the United
States, and that at the end of that
year the balance had changed to a
credit balance of over $68,000 be-
longing to tho District of Columbia,
and that under an act approved March
cent had been charged upon certain
advances made by the United States
to the District government, but that
when the balance changed to a credit
to the District no interest was calcu.
lated upon such balance in favor of
the District. 1 have been unable to
find any law authorizing the allow
ance of interest upon anything due by
the United States to the District of
Columbia. except the act under which
your committee was appointed. The
act of March 8, 1909, mentioned au-
thorizing per cent interest clearly in
dicates that 1t intended to include
only advances made by the United
States to the District not reimbursed
before a certain time. Along this
same line, even though there was a
credit balance in favor of the Dis
trict, there is a question whether or
not that meant that anything was due
ments were fulfilled by the District as
provided by law by which they
might withdraw money from the
Treasury. In other words, the money
was there merely as a deposit of the
District of Columbia, and subject to
their withdrawal at proper times, in
proper ways, as provided by law. IT
is hard to see how this sum could in
any way be considered an advance
ment by the District to the United
States or even a debt of the United
States to the District upon which any
interest should in any way be calcu-
lated.

SAYS LEPRosY CAN BE CURED

LONDON, April 30-That lep- rosy can be effetually cured by the injection of certain oils, including cod liver and soya bean oil, was claimed by Sir Leonard Rogers in a paper read before a recent meet ing of the Royal Society of Arts.
 Sir Leonard declared that experi- ments made in various parts of the world had led physicians to the be- lief that the disease could be cur ed within the space of few years through the use of these oils.
 There would appear to be num- erous eases of leprosy in London, particularly among army men who have returned from Eastern coun- tries, which are unrecognized.

EUROPEAN FLESHPOTS

From his first hand study of the situation, Ambassador Harvey pre- diets that England will entertain
 200, ,0O0 American tourists this year and will spend in Great Britain three times as much as the British will pay on their debt to the United
 States. What becomes of the argu- ment of the cancellationists that 'it is impossible for Europe to make payment?" The receipts from tour ists is only one avenue through which money is constantly flowing from the United States to the countries of Europe, and becoming available for the settlement of the American debt account. Tourist tra- vel to Great Britain IS duplicated in varying degree in all the other debtor countries, and in every one of them enough money is being left more than to care for the debt payments according to the generous terms fixed in British settlement,

During the fou1 years of 1917 to 1920 the money spent by the Am erican Government was about 50 percent greater than the total cost of the Government from the begin ming in 1789 to 1916. To make that fact more astounding remember that during those four years wars were waged. The war of 1912, the Mexi- can war, the Civil war and the Spanish-American war. During the four years of 1917 to 1920 nearly $4O,OoO, 100000 was spent as com pared with less than $27, ,00O.- 900, the amount spent during the entire life of the government a per iod of 127 years.
