CENSUS COUNTERS
GETTING THEIR PAY
About 1000 Yet Wait, But
They Soon Will Receive
Their Money.

After more than two months work
the Census Bure-u is in sight Of the
completion Of tie task Of paying OF
the 7o,0o0 enumeratOrs who have worked
on the compilation Of the data for the
general public.
That this payment IS a great task Is
evident from the fact that each Of these
enumerators received from $50 TO $50 or
more for his work and that each had TO
be paid separately and personally.
The sum needed for this work ex-
ceeded the appropriation and there has
been considerable delay while the money
was obtained from the Government
But now all but 1000 OF the enumer-
ators have received their pay for the
work done by them and the Department
OF Commerce and Labor has expended
nearly S4Ga.000 for the work Of the
enumeration OF the census alone

CIVIL PENSION PLAN

Old Clerks TO Be UnmOleSted
Until Experts Recon-
mend Changes.

BEVERLY. Mass. Aug 1.-THE Ad-
ministratiOn has come TO the conclusion
that before II launches a wholesale
scheme for the retirement OF aged
clerks in the Government classified ser
vice, 1t must gather additional infor-
nation as TO the operation Of the Gov
eminent departments
At present authorities here admit
there is not a man or a number Of
men connected with the Government
service who know exactly how much
may be saved the Government annually
by the introduction OF economies
Until the authorities do know how
they stand and what may be saved
each year without an indiscriminate
choppins of Of heads, they viii not
proceed with the retirement scheme.
Gilman Sees Norton
Prof. ). W. Gilman, Of the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin. had a long talk with
Secretary to the President c. d Nor
ton today. Prof Gilman has had long
experience In correcting waste IN mU-
nsciDaI and state government He
probably will be sent TO Washington
to investigate methods Of operation
there, for through his good Offices the
state Of Wisconsin was enabled TO
make large savings in government
operations
The retirement scheme is to be put
IN the background this year. partly
Tor political reasons and partly be
cause there is not sufficient exact in
formation about department operation
on which TO proceed iuteIligently.
StiEation by experts may show
that while many clerks are not indis-
renSa BILE where they are at present, a
transfer TO other necessary places At
smaller salaries would still allow for
decided reductions in Government cost
operation
Taft Is Interested
President Taft Is interested IN this
movement. He does not believe that
IL is necessary to enact a retirement
law at present, for It would look IS If
Congress were really authorizing an
additional burden
When the Administration is in a po-
sition 10 show that It has plans for
saving far more than enough to pay
the deficit caused by a retirement
plan. IL yiII then be able confidently
TO put before the country its scheme

Some of the much-rak ers seem 10
be getting into more trouble lately than
they are able to cause the parties they
are attacking. Senator Briston Of
Kansas seemed to think he could over
Senator Aldrieh with mud 10y his charge
that the latter was greatly benefited
financially by n little raise in the tariff
on rubber but Senator Aldrich has
given AN answer to this charge that
brands Briston either as n man who
rccklcssly makes serious charge
against fellow senator without stopp-
ing to ascertain the facts or deliberately
makes false charge.
Senator Gore Of Oklahoma made
public charges that reflected In most
damaging manner on the honesty Of
several public officials. Later Il seems
that Senator Gore realized that he had
bit of more than he could chew and he
now acts very much M u he was quito
sorry that he did not keep his mouth
shut In regard TO charges that were
based on information which Il seems
he had very little faith In himself.
II would seem that mon In the high
official position Of United States
senator would be little more careful
about their public uttcrancoa than some
of them are.

A proposition has been made by
Governor Carroll to reduce the width
of the highways in Iowa from 60 to 40
feet, permitting the owners OF land
adjoining the highway for raising crops.
1t is estimated that about 5000, 900
bushels of corn could be annually raised
on the land thus restored to cultivation.
This is good move. There is no call
for a highway more than 10 feet wide
provided II is kept in good condition
for travel and the cutting down of the
road would necessltate more work on
