WILL RECOMMEND
RETIREMENT FUND
Cabinet Members Find Work in
Department HampGred By
Aged InCOmpetents

Washington. 5uly THAT the
president will recommend to congress
in his first annual message the Gre
alton of a retirement fund and the
Of superannuated EN-
ployes Of the Government Is The pre-
dictiOn Of several members OF the
cabinet who have given the subject
considerable study and who will
urge that course in their annual re-
ports. The president himself, at a
recent meeting of the association for
reforms in the civil service, express
ed the hope that some feasible sys-
TEN Of retiring aged clerks could be
devised, and as a member Of Presi-
dent RoOsevelts cabinet he advised
the President that this Government
would have to come to that system
in the near future.
Since the extension of civil sery-
ice reform throug lut the executive
departments. whica has Ohyiated the
frequent changes which prevailed
under the spOils system. the number
Of clerks TOO old properly to perform
the duties assigned to them has
steadily increased
Many Too Old TO Work.
With the beginning Of the Taft
administration the President urged
the members of his cabinet to the
promotion Of economy, and they, in
seeking to carry out the Presidents
wishes, have prosecuted a quiet in
vestigation of the service in their
several departments. Their investi-
cations have revealed the presence
Of great numbers Of incompetents
whose ridiculously small stint of
work adds greatly 10 the expense Of
conducting the Federal business.
No decision has been reached by
the administration as to the system
to be adopted. The most popular
seems to be the one advocated by
Representative Tawney. chairman Of
the committee on appropriations I'm
der this system a small percentage
of the compensation of all employees
would be set aside to create a re
tirement fund Nfieh ultimately. pos
sibly in twenty years. would be suf-
fcient to- pas all pensions. In the
interim The Government would be
compelled to make good a steadily
diminishing deficit The members
Of the cabinet are convinced snch n
system would prove most desirable
from an economic standpoint. al
though some of them believe en-
rloyes should not be required 10 bear
he entire burden Of tAe retirement
fund but that the Government
should contribute a portion. half for
instance.

New Haven, Conn, July 1.-Presi-
dent Taft paused in the course Of
an after dinner speech to 1900 grad
yates of Yale gathered at the annual
alumni feast, to issue a serious note
Of warming to congress and to tle
leaders of the Republican party.
The President declared that if the
partly placed him in power and so
long had controlled the Government
failed to live up to its promises and
the expectations of the people, ID
would be relegated to the position
of a minority opposition
President Taft had been speaking
humolously of recollections of his
own college days which made his
sudden change TO a serious tone Of
the important utterance upon Nation
al affairs all the more impressive.
The President spoke extemporaneous-
ly and his utterances as to the duty
of the parif OF which he Is nominally
the head. seemed the result Of a sud
den impulse rather than Of studied
intent
Students Cheer HIM.
Taft made no effort to explain his
warnings. The Yale men caught his
meaning and the significance of the
remarks coming at this time Of the
tariff debate, however, and they stood
and cheered for several minutes. He
had been speaking Of Secretary OF
War Dickinson. a Democrat upon
41,,t N9la xragtpp.laxr pnnfarrA1 ~
honorary degee He tainted the
Democracy with the best of good
humor as to its present day condi-
tion, and this led him into the dec
laratiOn as to his own party.
Points Out Way
Now. my dear friends, in suggest
ing differences among Democrats.
am far from ignoring some Difficult
Ties that there are on our side. |
remember in 1904 that Mr. Charles
Francis Adams gave what | may call
a perecily good Adams reason for
the election Of the Democratic can
didate over the Republican candidate
"Ile said that one of the essentials
of successful free government was
an able, patriotic and efficient op
position and that as the Democratic
party had utterly failed in reaching
that ideal he was in favor of putting
the Republican party in that place
Now venture to say that while
that may not be the reason which
shall move the American people. II
is true that If the Republican party
does not live up to its promises and
what the people expect Of II. it will
be relegated to a position like that
therefore. | may say by way Of his
maiesty's opposition. AMI there
fore. ! may sag by way Of caveai
that we have troubles of cur own"
