Mr. Craig's Report.

From a careful review on the sub

conclusion that forestry for the in

into ID The preservation OF the smaller
growth Of the forest and 90 The natural

THE practicaf working of forestry in
the United States is much hindered by
the facts of the Zee simple ownership
of lands by individual holders and of

couragement OF proper forest methods.

Contend Proposal to Cut
Salaries Is Unjust.
STILL ABLE TO WORK
Age No Crite.ion of Ability, They
maintain-Some Men Are
Old at Fifty.

That the aged clerks of Washington.
especially of those in Grand Army
circles, are excited and somewhat anXl-
Gus as a result of the desire OF the
House Committee on Appropriations to
lower the salaries of all siXty-five years
old o. more, is evident n all the execu-
tive departments.
But with the anxiety is a determina-
tion to show that the proposed legis-
lation is absolutely unnecessary. AL
ready some OF the old clerks ere point
ing TO section ia of the Revised Statutes
as obviating the necessity OF further
legislation on the subject. This section
reads.
The Washington times., 1906-03-08
What Section ia Says.

Zach chief clerk shall take care from
time to time that the duties of the other
clerks are distributed with equality and
uniformity, according to the nature of
the case He shall revise such distri
button from time 10 time for the pur-
pose of correcting any tendency 10 un-
due accumulation or reduction of du-
ties, whether arising from individual
negligence or incapacity, or from in
crease or diminution of particular kinds
of business. And he shall report month
y to his superior officer any existing de-
feet that he may be aware of in the ar
rangement or dispatch of business"
II is claimed by The clerks that this
section gives the chiefs and heads Of
departments all the power needed 10
deal with the aged clerk problem. They
argue that it is excessively unfair 20
fix ar arbitrary standard for matter
Of age incapacity when. as a matter of
fact, some people become incGpacitated
for work at fifty and others can work
at seventy-eight.
It is argued by the clerks that the
only fair way to dispose of the matter
is to leave it to some authority 10 de-
eide when a clerk becomes incapacitate6
in any way for work. When this in
capacity is discovered. il is urged, the
dismissal should follow.
The Washington times., 1906-03-08
Contention Is Laughed At.

At the Capitol, members of Congress
who fever the plan eIucidated by the
House Committee on Appropriations
laugh at the arguments of the clerks.
saying that this section has been in
the Revised Statutes for about thirty
years, and the aged clerk problem is
still confronting the Government. They
also pointed out that chiefs and heads
OF departments are human and would
not, in many cases, recommend old
clerks for dismissal because they
would be sorry for them and would
neglect TO turn them out on the world
in their old age.
AS matter of fact the question
has been thoroughly studied at the
Capitol and no objection 10 the pro-
vision can be made without an answer
being received that the new provision Is
ali right and calculated to withstand
all arguments and parliamentary OBJ
jections.
1t was said that it might be
knocked out of the bill. on a point Of
order; but its friends declare il
would be in order because il could he
construed as "a limitation on an ap-
preparation" which is always in order
on an APPROPRIATION bill,
The Washington times., 1906-03-08
Supporters Are Uncertain.

It would be encouraging to the old
clerks, however, TO see the manifest
uncertainty In which She friends Of
the measure now stand. They are by
no means sure that the House will vote
il into law, and there are many mem
bers of the House who claim that il
IS so severe and drastic that they viii
never vote for it.
The Senate is not so young" said q
member today, Even if the House did
the wrong thing and voted il into law
the Senate would pat itself on its bald
head, run its fingers through it's thin
ned and Silvered hair, and bury the
provision under a storm Of disappTo-
bation."
