Many Bills Introduced.

Since then no less than fifty bills upon
the subject have been introduced. two
among the latest being by Senator Per
kins and Representative Austin. The
Perkins bill provides for monthly deduc-
tions from the employees salaries, to be
placed at compound interest, and the re-
sulting amount paid to their heirs in
case Of death. or to the employees in case
Of resignation or withdrawal from the
service. The Austin bill provides for re-
tirement at half salary. the remaining
half to pay for a substitute who shall
serve therefor until he can be advanced
to a full-salaried position. when another
shall be appointed to succeed him until the
retired employe is no more. A third plan
is for the government to pay an employee
upon his retirement certain percentage
of the salary he is receiving when retired.
without deduction from his salary there
for. but a reward for long and faithful
service. This is the plan applied to the
Army. the Navy. the Marine Corps. the
ciary. Strange to say. no bill embodying
this plan has yet been introduced, al
though the plan. it Is said. has the sup
port Of President Taft Mai. Gen. F. c.
Ainsworth, who has given a great deal
of study and consideration to the sub
ject, is said to have strongly advocated it
at a hearing before the House committee
on civil service reform. He is quoted as
saving: Il think it can be shown that this

Assistant Secretary of State Huntington
Wilson received the tip of the Greek

the following official statement:
1T is understood that under Greek law
marriage is not regarded as a civil con-
tract and is not considered valid, unless
the ceremony has been performed by a
priest of the Orthodox Greek Church. This
provision also holds good with regard to
marriages contracted by Greek subjects

Agitation by Collamer.

Agitation for legislation to provide for
superannuated and disabled employees in
the civil service can be traced back to
the administration of President Taylor,
when Postmaster General Collamer called
attention to it in one of his reports and
went SO far as to draft bill for the pur-
pose. But the bill for some reason was
never presented. From that time until
within the last decade the subject has re-
ceived but little attention. The 'spoils
system" so called. operated against it,
and arguments against q civil pension list
loud and potent, were advanced if any
thing spproximating the idea were ever
suggested. But with the passing of the
old veteran and the reaching of the eli
max in the matter of provision for those
who had rushed to the defense Of the
country In its hour of peril the notion of
civil pension list has lost many of it's
terrors, and the country has begun to
awaken to the business necessity of such
a thing.
Representative Tawney introduced a
bill in the Fifty-fifth Congress ito in
crease the efficiency of the public service
by optional and compulsory retirement of
superannuated and disabled government
employees. and for the creation of a fund
for retirement"

VARIOUS BILLS IN CONGRESS

To the average mind, unacquainted
with the facts and conditions, it is stated.
the idea of retiring civil service employees
when they have become superannuated
or from any other cause untitled for the
huma unitarian one.
ITO be old and incapacitated and at
the same time to he i'm want-life has no
possibility more terrible than that re-
Gently wrote Il contributor to one of the
magazines which gave consideration to
the subject of retirement in the civil
service But. say those not in the civil
service, who have seemed inclined to- be-
lieve that a government position is one
requiring but little work and Offering
remuneration far beyond what is paid
outside the government service such
condition is just as terrible for us As for
the government employe. besides the pr
waite employer is much more exacting
than the government, and man in pri
vate' employ is apt to be discarded much
sooner than the government employee.
Those. however, who have given deeper
study to the subject approach it from an
entirely different view. If the pitiful
condition Of the Superannuated employe
is considered by them at all, ii is from
an economic view purely They regard
approximation as one of the evils of the
service difficult to remedy. because human
nature is not prone to force hardship

From a Business View.

So that leading thinkers upon the sub
jcct in the present day are considering
the proposition from the view of sound
business policy. Will it actually be a
saving to the government to retire it's
old and disabled employees upon pen
sion? That is the question now upper
most in the minds of legislators. And
the reasons that inlpel them to believe
In the affirmative answer to the PROPOSE
ton are threefold. Fivst, If a pension
can be given to the old or ncapac itat cd
clerk to insure him from want, his gov
eminent chief will not hesitate to recon-
mend his retirement. That insures his
separation from the service. Second,
when he Is retired he makes way for a
young and competent clerk who is able
to do two three times as much work
for the salary paid and probably will
do ii. That operates to prevent the yearly
increase of clerks that Congress. is called
upon to provide, to insure the proper
transaction of the public business. Third.
clerk who has the certainty of employ
ment during good behavior, of increase
in salary as his experience and accom-
piishments increase, and the certainty
that in old age. or in the event of in
capacity. his necessities will be cared for
by a pension from the United States
government. 1t is argued Is likely to
term of employment, to thoroughly fit
himself for the discharge of his duties
and to be more jealous in their per-
Torrance than If his position were not
thus assured The result is that the
government is likely to get the best
class of clerical help to fill its positions
and that good clerks when familiar with
their work and of special value will not
be tempted to resign to accept positions
in private life, In order to lay up some
thing for their old age.
All the executive departments in this
city and their branches and dependencies
elsewhere. it is said, suffer because many
good employees sooner or later resign to
go into private life, in the belief they can
do better therein.
This it is said. is the business view of
the proposition which is likely to influence
Congress in making provision for the re-
tirement OF superannuated and incapaci-
tated clerks. The big corporations of the
country it is contended, saw this advan-
tage long ago. and many of them have
made the most of it, Some provide
straightout pensions without deduction
from the employees salaries. Others fol-
low a more on less modified plan of mu-
tual contributions.
