ment to the judiciary. legislative and exec
utive appropriation kill for the retirement
OF superannuated and disabled clerks The

Erickson. Mrs. c. A Ferris. Miss NJ. f..
Harmon, Mr.. R. NJ. johnson, Mrs l. Kar-
peies. MIR. A. NJ. Smith, Mr. Joseph Trainor.
Mr. J. z. Cnderhill, Mr.. j. V Virgins, pr
verton
The committee met yesterday afternoon
ana elected DIR. Williams chairman Mrs
Ferris, vice chairman: Miss Harmon, sec
rotary. and Miss Erickson, treasurer
After the amendment referred to was
read Mr. Trainor offered the following sug-
gestions:
That it list he sense of this office that
the Gallinger bill be enacted into a law
That the offices OF a chief and his as
slstants be stricken out and that the funds
be controlled by the disbursing officers of
the treasury without extra compensation.
That the refunding of any money shall
be so modified as to reimburse the fami v
OF clerk TO any difference between the
amount he has been assessed and The
amount paid him in case of death.
That retirement board be appointed

for work and to notify the proper author
tiles in case of death
That to prevent fraud and to expedite
the payment of pensions the same laws and
penalties as apply 10 the pension Office shall
be exercised in the pensioning of clerks"
Mrs. Ferris favored the bill because the
tax was on the clerks, the majority of
whom are non-taxpayers, instead of on the
people at large.

moved that it be adopted, with suggestions
offered incorporated, and forwarded through

Favors a. service Pension

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Why not
advocate a S12 service pension to take the
place of the law of 1890, and repeal that
obnoxious measure. 1t would not increase
the am ual cost of the pension roll to exceed
100000, 900, and after the first year the roll
would decrease by reason of the high death
rate that must come from now on, by more
than S10,O00,000 a year. so that IN a very
few years the roll would be less than at
present, with constant decrease. The
dissatisfaction and unrest by reason of the
methods adopted by the administration of
the Pension Department is a fearful strain
ON the veterans. who deserve the best pos
sible treatment this great, rich Nation Of
ours can give them.
Give us the S12 service pension. repeal the
law Of June 27, 1890, and let the general
law for pensions stand as it is. There is a
