Pensioninq Government Clerks.

1t is not exactly a pension system
for government clerks and employees
which is to be urged upon Congress
next winter, according to a Washing
ton dispatch, but rather system Of
old age insurance since the employees
themselves will little by little con-
which will come back to them upon
their retirement. Still it is spoken of
as a civil service pension and it is felt
that if it is adopted it will settle a
problem which has long vexed the gov
eminent. This is only one Of the
features that are being worked out in
the effort to reorganize all of the de-
partments in accordance with the
recommendations of the Keep commit
tee of Congress. which after long in
vcstigation suggested radical changes
The bureaus are now for the most part
acCrctiOns Of many years Of i'll d.
gcsted legislation. They are not CO.
or,Iinatcd as they should be. and the
most astonishing differences are found
in the amount of work performed and
salaries paid in the VARIOUS depart
mcnts.
There are hundreds, probably thou
sands. of employees who have become
inefficient through age and infrmitits.
but they are retained rather than
turned out to die in the poorhousc.
Il burden or the government t" carry
these on the payroll when they not
only do little work hut take the places
Of those who could do it efficiently. 1t
is proposed to alter this by establish
ing n pension fund which will protect
both the government and the employe.
The plan contemplates retirement of
efficient at 40 years (and some at an
earlier agcl on Il pension proportioncd
to salary and length of service. 1t is
estimated that this would average
about three-fourths pay. The en-
pInycs are to pay Il small sum each
month into the pension fund, which
will be aided by the government until
il becomes Self-sustaining. If an en-
plnyc rCtiIcs from the service. he is
repaid oil the money he has put in,
with interest, SO that in no case can
the system be a burden to anyone.
The plan is an admirable one and is
a form of old age pension which is
growing rapidly in favor in Europe in
unofficial rs well as in official life.
In Germany it is spreading and is to
an extent compulsory. Eventually it
is hoped t. make it completely 50. In
ttHs country some railways and manu-
featuring companies have such SyS-
tenn, but as employees do not remain
in Il single service 50 long as in
Europe, it is not likely to grow so rap
idly as abroad Eventually we shall
probably come to something like this
in this country. The best interests of

What the Journal really did say was
that while it was true that the duty
on hides did not specially aid the
people of Maine, il did aid the cattle
and sheep raisers of the great West
and that their prosperity constitutes
considerable factor in the prosperity of
the nation. Any law of Congress
which did not look beyond the confines
of a single state in promoting Amcri-
can prosperity would be short sighted
indeed and merit the condemnation of
the public Not only are the interests
of Maine safcguarded undcd the Ding
lev law but the interests of the other
states in the Union as well. Brother
Otis declares that if the price of hides
has gone up under the present tariff

popular makes. then il necessarily
follows that the manufacturer is bear

are nearly all new, modern and up-to-
