What Is the Motive?

Pension Office employees are wondering
whether the Commissioner has been sud
denly seized with a fierce hatred for
speculation. and whether he will attempt
to say that a clerk shall not have
right to invest in stocks if he sees ft
Some of them are calling to mind that
the Kansas court Of appeals recently or
dered back for new action in the lower
court a case in which the attorneys for
the other side accused Mr. Ware Of at
tempting TO deceive the heirs TO an es-
tate by purchasing and setting up
against the estate mortagages which
Carver & Larimer, the attorneys, de-
clared in the,r brief to be worthless. Mr.
Ware secured judgment in the lower
court. but the case was appealed, on
the ground that deception was practiced
Mr. Ware. in the brief. was accused Of
deliberately concealng the true STATE Of
facts from the lower court. IN order to
make good his claim to the mortgages.
The clerks are wondering whether II Is
right for the Commissioner TO deaI IL
mortgages which give rise to such itiga-
ton, and cause such serious allegations
against him, and at the same time
prevent his clerks from following the
well-recognized business Of dealing IL
stocks.
Frank W. Vaughn was reduced from
s.. 600 TO 81. 500 without warning or reason.
It is supposed that The ground upon
which this was done was that he re-
Gently received an increase Of pension.
Mr. Vaughns arm is almost useless. as a
result Of wounds in battle. and he was
granted an increase under the recent
law which raised the pensions Of all
such MANNED veterans.
The raaraefo of medical eva mi
increased last summer, and the Commits
sioner promptly reduced hts pay It is
roundly asserted that this policy is not
followed in all cases. and as far as
known. it is not practiced in any Of the
departments. except the Pension Office.
where it Is apparently followed only in
Individual cases.
