Willard Friedrich LaFollett.

Willard friedrich LaFollett, infant
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. LaFollett, was
born at Des Moines Nov. 10, 1905, and
died June 10, 1906, aged months and 6
days. The funeral party arrived We'd
nesday and the little sleeper was
tenderly laid away in the Leon cemetery.
The circumstances were particularly
sad, as the mother was detained by the
illness of the little brother in the dis
tant city, watching in the shadows by
the bedside of the other little sufferer
at the time of the burial of Willard.
Mr.. and Mrs. LaFollett have the SYM
pathy of all in this their affection.
Its only little grave they said;
Only little child that's dead;
And so they carelessly turned away,
From the mound the spade had made
that day;
All, they did not know how deep a
shade,
That little grave in one home had
made.

CLERKS RETIREMENT FUND.
A Feature of the Question That Has
Been Overlooked

There has been a great deal said ana
written about the proposed retirement and
pension acts for the clerks in the govern
ment service" said an experienced treasury
clerk to a Star man, but there has been
one feature OF this important question
which does not seem TO have been touched
upon or If 1t has, 1t has not been brought
into the prominence it deserves
IT refer to the voluntary separation OF
clerks from the service by resignation.
Any act which does not provide for the res
titution of the amount paid into the fund,
either In toto or pro rata, TO the clerk who
voluntarily separates himself from the serv-
ice before the retirement age is reached
is faulty and incomplete.
Where a clerk is separated from the
service by reason Of dismissal the amount
he may have paid into the funds should
remain there; he loses the benefit accrulng
because of his own misconduct and should
of course suffer the penalty. but / fail to
see the business OF retirement scheme
which would permit clerk to pay a pro-
portion of his salary into the general fund.
perhaps for many years until 1t amounted
into the hundreds, and then to allow MIN
no benefit therefrom.
This same question Is now disposed OF
in the immediate benefit funds which exist
In the several departments and IN 1aVor
of the clerk who may retire from the serv-
ice voluntarily; so long as he contributes
to the death assessments after his resigna-

ton his family receives the customary all
lowance upon his demise, and he loses the
benefit only upon his failure 10 keep up
his assessments. 49,
The pro rata assessments proposed IN
the retirement acts will mark percepti-
bile diminution of the clerks salary, de-
pending upon the yearly amount he may re-
ceive from the government. II upon ms
voluntary retirement from the service he is
permitted to continue his contribution as
while In the service to the general -fund
he not only contributes his proportlonate
share toward the general fund. saves the
total loss OF the amount already paid IN,
but derives a benefit upon attaining the re-
tirement age
II am aware that the projection TO some
such a plan would meet with opposition BET
ca,se the clerk was not in the service at
the time OF his reaching the retirement age
but this is met by the counter objection
that It win prove a decided hardship for
the clerk in question to suffer only the
loss without the accruing benefit.
THE fundamental principle OF all insur-
ance schemes whether life or accident. Is
that the insured suffers an initial loss In
rive an ultimate benefit upon the happening
of the insurable contingency. This princi-
pie should be adhered TO in principle. at
least in any retirement act which may be
proposed. / am free to admit that this
retirement question is a knotty one by
reason of the conflict OF o...Srent minds
and schemes, but unless the fundamental
fabric il wiz not cut out on the square
when 1t is put into actual practice. Were
the government to provide the fund from
the public treasury, as In the case of the
army and the navy no such question as the
one l propose would be germane.
