BETTER PAY FOR
REGULAR ARMY
SECRETARY TAFT URGES THAT
ADDITIONAL INDUCEMENTS
BE OFFERED SOLDIERS.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan
6.-Secretary Taft is strong
advocate Of increased pay fol-
the army. His annual report
just sent to Congress, completely dis
pels any doubt that may exist as "a
the Secretary's position.
The report begins with formidable
presentment of figures showing the
rapid decrease in the strength of the
regular army in recent years-the
loss last year being no less than A.
428 men-and the pressing need for
officers to replace those now detailed
on recruiting duty or as military in
structors in educational institutions.
The Secretary declares that, while
many reasons have been advanced to
explain the difficulty, sufficient one
is to be found in the inadequacy of
army pay.
Il think it quite probable" he says
that an increase in the pay of the
enlisted men, including considerable
additional inducement for men to re-
enlist, and such reasonable increase
In the pay of non-commissioned OFF,
GERS as would stimulate men to re-
main in the service and to qualify
themselves for these higher positions,
would have markedly beneficial eff
feet upon the recruitment Of the
army"
So the Secretary earnestly favors
the adoption for the army of the naval
system, under which the President is
authorized to fix the rate OF pay with
in defined limits, as means of OBJ
tanning a better discipline and high
er efficiency. He also recommends
the creation of general service corps
to relieve the soldiers OF the vast
amount OF unmilitary work they are
now called upon to perform.

WASHINGTON. Jan. S.-Presidenf
Roosevelt commended the two propo
sitions contained in Postmaster Gen
eral Meyers report recommending
postal savings banks and the extern
sion Of the parcels post system
From expressions from individual
committeeman, fourteen out of the
eighteen members of the committee
are opposed to the postal savings
bank and almost an equal number OPP
pose the extension of the parcels post.
In reply to a question as to what
the Postoffice and Post Roads Com
mittee proposed to do with the Post
master Generals recommendations a
member said today: We expect to
let them remain recommendations"
Judge Moon. of Tennessee, the
senior Democrat of the committee,
said members of the committee esti-
mated that to extend the parcels post
as recommended by the Postmaster
General would cause a deficit OF $780,
100000. Judge Moon said there was
not so much objection to parcels posts
on rural free delivery routs, but he
was opposed to extending 1t through
out the country. All the Democrats
OF the committee, he said, would OPP
pose the postal savings bank idea, as
the country already had enough Of
participation in banking
If the Government took deposits from
the people, 1t would have to lend them
and on what sort of securities
