inequitable Classification,


The difficulty with the present salary
classification is that the bulk of the en-
ployes are paid out of all proportion to the
Importance of the work upon which they
are engaged. while other employees who are
doing the responsible and most difficult
work, requiring the greatest amount of
ability are not paid nearly so much as they
would receive for similar work IL they were
employed by a business house or corpora
ton. The government cannot expect to
secure the most competent persons for the
most important work, when il makes barely
any distinction between the salaries of
those and the salaries of the employees en-
gagged upon the merest mechanical work
would suggest an entirely different salary
classification from the present one. would
have the entrance salaries for clerks and
other employees much lower than at pres
ent, little above the entrance salary paid
In a business house or corporation, but
would pay the employees who have the
ability and are advanced to the most re-
sponsible and difficult positions precisely as
they are paid in a business house or corpo-
ration. In accordance with the value Of
tEeir services"
For the same kind of work does the
government pay its employees more or less

by applying to the business of the gov
eminent the same rules as far as practi-
cable that apply to business houses and
corporations throughout the country what
should the cost of the executive civil SER
vice be as compared with it's present cost?
In other words, what would be saved annu-

The salary allowance for government Of
nclals ana employees is $lOU,OUO,00O annually
BESIDES the officials and employees control
the expenditure OF several hundred millions
more In conducting the business of the
government. The need of having thorough
business methods in every department of
the government is apparent, when such an
enormous expenditure is involved In the
matter of salaries alone l believe that
many millions would be saved if the depart
menfs were managed like any successful
business mouse or corporation, with similar
hours for transacting business, with re-
classification of salaries according to
duties, with the discontinuance of unneces-
sary work and the looping off of unneces-

which is proving very advanta-
geous to the settlers of North
Alberta, Canada, and is truly a boon to
the farmers, is the establishment of
creameries by the Government at regu-
lar distances apart. The Government
furnishes the entire plant, puts it in
n operates it without direct cost to
the farmer. From the sale of the but
ter the Government retains 5 cents per
pound, the balance going to the farmer.
This is continued for three years, when
the government turns over the plant
and. business to the farmers, CIV
ing them a clear title of it.
Thus these creameries are put in
at a minimum cost to the farmer
and paid for in a way that he least
feels it. When we were there butter
was selling at 81 and % cents per
pound. Cheese factories were being es-
t%ablished, too, along the railroad and
much Of the freight loaded on the cars
on Il return trip consisted of butter
and cheese, as 1t was in the best sea-

The Klondike is another field now
open to the Western Canadian farmer
for all produce of the farm, and the
officials in the Department of the In
terror, Ottawa, Canada, are kept busy
sending out literature describing this
great agricultural country. The agents
of the Government throughout the
United States are also supplied with
literature, which they distribute free.
