The British rule has destroyed the slave.trade and stopped tribal warfare, with the result that the people are expending their energles in other and more beneficial directions. They have become good farmers or industrial workmen and are capable of operating farms " without _ governmental uper- vision. The most noticeable effect of British rule, however, has been in the com. merce of the colony.

The ouly enactments fixing the salaries in such services for the fiscal yea: 1925 may be said broadly to be the ase' of May 1924, and June 4, 1924, and it necessarily follows that use of sxch appropriations would not be authorized for salaries according 1o the prior laws. because such laws are no longer authority for pay- ments. “It 'is to be observed that: the question is not one dependent singly upon the appropriation terms, but is for consideration in the light of the basic laws providing for and fixing the salaries for the fiscal year 1925. The situation differs from one in- volving a unit of the government dependent for continued existence upon an appropriation, in that here the matter relates to the permanent and legally established government of the District of Columbia and to functions and duties required to be performed. Obligation Is Authorized. *The principles which control the uses of appropriations have been at times declared by various enact- ments, and which for the purposes of certain questions may be_considered as applicable to the District of Columbia, although the District of Columbia may not always be con- sidered an executive department or nt establishment within the f such cnactments. Section sed Statut of February 27, ), declares that no contract or obligation shall be entered into which shall bind the United States for a greater amount than that pro- vided by. the appropriation unless such contract or obligation is author- ized by law. While this provision might be considered as having a bearing upon the present question, it nswered by the fact that the law clearly authorizes the obligation here involved. “In the light of all conditions ap- pearing, I can only view the matter as one in which the Congress. having made appropriations for salaries for Prvices involved, disclos- intent that payments s<hould be otherwise than Here’s a Sale with a sensation in it— —fresh from New York’s most exclusive studios — that rcgardless of their intrinsic value—we shall mark— Cloches Brims Street Dress Our Offering from the Ine‘xpensive i Dress Department Sale Of | FI‘OCI(S | Printed Crepe de Chine Silk Broadcloth Flowered Georgette Dainty Voiles Linens e It is really a brilliant assemblage of Smart Hats—which provide choice for the bobbed-hair miss and her more conservative mother.
