told that the time was deducted from
their annual vacation, and that the
government would not be a loser.
This did not seem to satisfy him, for
he said:
There is no bank or other business
house in this city that would permit its
! employees to leave the house during
Office hours in order to look after
private matters except in very urgent
cases. The practice must be stopped
IN the pension bureau, and l shall
see to it in the future that employees
are at their desks during Office hours.
1t has also been the rule here to some
extent for certain officials to reach the
office after 9 o'clock now and then.
sometimes men come in and go to
work at 10 or IL o'clock without anv
special reason for their hardness. The
hours of work for the government en-
ployees are not long and 1 see no
reason why the clerks in this bureau
should not be ready to go to work
promptly in the morning and continue
work without interruption throughout
the day a clerk who drops his work
at 2 o'clock, goes out for an hour and
comes back at o'clock, is untitled TO
do the government justice by perform
ing his work promptly, because the
case he was examining at 2 o'clock
when laid down for an hour is taken
up on his return without that con-
tinuity of thought which the examina-
ton of most of our cases requires. l
shall certainly make it my business
while 1 am in this bureau to see that
this custom is stopped.
In the abstract the commissioner is
unquestionably right and his ideas of
punctuality and fidelity in clerks are
such as obtain in banks and mercan-
tile houses, but in the name of the /
Continental congress what has right /
in the abstract and correct ideas of
business got to do with pension bureau
If Commissioner Evans
carries out the ideas he now has he !
will create new rebellion right in the /
pension bureau. And the putting of it /
down will necessitate more pensions. |
For heavens sake, don't attempt to
reform the pension bureau. 1t is too
sacred

CLAY EVANS IDEA OF BUSINESS

The new commissioner of pensions,
II. Clay Evans, of Tennessee, has
some ideas about how his bureau
should be run that run quite counter
TO the accepted standard in the
bureau. He thinks the clerks should
be at their posts during Office hours;
they don't. There are 1000 of these
clerks. and so petted have all persons
or things connected with the pension
business become that they think they
are privileged beyond all other gov
eminent employees; and they are all
pretty well privileged.
Soon after he was installed in his
new office he observed that during the
day the clerks were leaving the build
ing. On inquiry as to why this was
he was informed that it was customary
to permit any clerk to take an hour
or two during the day in order to look
after his private affairs. He was also

1t is genuine pleasure to note the
change of heart undergone by the
Provo Enquirer towards the Demo-
cratic representative, and in fact to-
wards the Democrats in general Last
night it said: THE Congressional
Record is at hand containing Congress-
man Kings maiden speech at the
capitol, on the senate amendment to
the Indian appropriation bill declar-
ing open to location the gilsonite lands
OF the Uncompahgre reservation. 1t
was an able speech, and judging by
the way his time was several times
extended it must have been interesting
to those who listened Once our young
congressman was applauded for his
neat answer to the MANY questions
fired at him. Mr. King is making a
splendid record as a hard worker
Democrats made no mistake in elect
ing him.
OF course the Democrats made no
mistake; they never do. But we
sincerely hope that the congressional
documents of one kind and another
that Congressman King has sent our
Provo contemporary have had no I'M
due influence in bringing about the
change of heart noted above.
