Constitutional Code. Ch. IX. §. 17 Supplement
Art. Registration as to Attendance in conjunction
with pay – its uses.
1. Securing the public against fraud to the profit
of the supposed working functionary in case of his receiving
pay for work, when none is done.
Art. Use 2. Securing do. against embezzlement
by and to the profit of a self alledged paying
functionary by non-payment and conversion to his own
use.
Art. Use 3. As between functionary
and functionary in the same line of service, establishing
in so far as absolute aptitude of each is ascertainable,
comparative aptitude for the purpose of employing,
in preference, him who works cheapest or best.
Answer. The interest of the moment, in every case: but, in
company with this continually varying interest with, with the exception
of those accidental and comparatively rare occasions, on
which for the account pleasure pain or passion with and thence the corresponding
interest of the moment, in such sort occupy
the mind as to expell and shut the door against the ever-enduring
interest, with this constantly operating interest
will the incidentally operating and continually varying interest coincide, and concurr
with it in giving direction and exercise
to the will. Such being the case,⊞ ⊞ in the position of the occupied by the legislator as often as any
political arrangement is to be grounded on the ex course
expected to be taken by rulers, it is the observable and
constantly operating, and not the mind any one or more of of the
incidentally and casually operating and inscrutable interests, is to be
looked to as the efficient cause, by which, the on the occasion
in question, the course they take or hope to be determined by conduct should be expected
will be determined. With classes only alone, it is that in the ordinate state of
things the legislator has
to deal: with individuals
the functionaries belonging
to the administrative and
the judicial departments.
It is for them accordingly
to employ their discernment
in taking estimates of the result conduct that on each occasion may be expected to be produced by the operation
of the of several interests of the moment on the minds of those
same individuals.
