CIVIL SERVICE RETIRE
MENT.

It is impossible to proceed far in such
an investigation without perceiving the
need of a suitable means of eliminating
from the service the superannuated. This
can be done in one or two ways, either
by straight civil pension or by some form
of contributory plan.
Careful study of experiments made by
foreign governments shows that three
serious objections to the civil pension
payable out Of the public treasury may
be brought against 1T by the taxpayer,
the administrative officer and the civil
employe. respectively. A civil pension
is bound to become an enormous, con-
tinuous and increasing tax on the pub
lie exchequer; it is demoralizing to the
service since 1t makes difficult the dis
missal Of incompetent employees after
they have partly earned their pension,
and it L. disadvantageous to the main
body Of employees themselves since it is
always taken into account in fixing sal
aries and only the few who survive and
remain in the service until pensionable
age receive the value Of their deferred
pay. For this reason, after a half CEN
fury of experience under a most liberal
pension system, the civil servants Of
England succeeded. about a year ago, in
having the system SO modified as to

The specific fund for fighting fires was

which will involve the presentation of q

was not therefore due to the lack OF an

the fires began and where it was impos-
sible with the roads and trails as thew

points out, the expenditure Of q good deal

in this regard the Secretary Of Agricul-

are looking forward to far greater ac-

practically established a precedent
in the treatment of Farmers Insti-

their stores on that day and thereby

going to enable her farmers to
