TINES PENSION POLL WILL
BE MADE.

The Government employe has spoken
in no uncertain voice on the offer Of
The Times 10 conduct a poll on the
various pension and retirement plans
under consideration.
The Times Office has been nearly
swamPed with votes for the poll and
with letters commencing the project
and urging that it be speedily put into
operation
It is significant that not one of the
great mass Of replies received was
against the suggestion that a poll be
made
It has been decided, therefore, to
make the poll The Times, respond
ing to the emphatic and widespread
request OF the Government employees
of the District, VIII furnish the ma
chinery through which the employees
nay make their wants known, and it
VIII lend its columns to recording
those wants after they have been ex-
pressed, thereby permitting the voice
Of the employees to penetrate the walls
Of Congress and the innermost cham
bers of the department Offices.
Now, It Is important that all en-
Ployes inform themselves thoroughly
concerning the pension and retirement
plans on which they are TO vote There
Is much to be said for and against
each plan under consideration En-
PIoyes should not vote blindIy. They
should know for what they are casting
their ballots The question Is, How
can they know?
Here, again, The Times offers its
services. It not only wants the poll
10 be as broad as possible, but It wants
the poll to record the intelligent
opinion of every employe. In this, It
feels certain II reflects the sentiment
of the whole army of Government
clerks. This, then, is the plan:
The Times viii publish an article
containing the arguments for each re-
tirement plan and an article containing
the arguments against each retirement
plan. It Is now eonfeTTing with Gov
ernment employees known to be re-
sPeetively for and against each retire
nent proposition. One of these articles
VIII be published each day, beginning
Tuesday, December 27- This viii cause
the last article OF the series to be pub
lished on Sunday, January l.
It is the intention now to conduct
the poll on Thursday, January 3. BY
that time every Government employe
viii have had time and opportunity to
study the various retirement OF pen
sion plans, and viii be able TO vote
sntelligently.
The result of such a poll should 60
q long way toward showing just what
the Government employees want Il
there is a widespread demand for any
one system, 1t VIII be Indicated Il
