salaries, in order to make good to the
employees the deductions exacted. In
effect 1t would be draft on the Treas
ury to provide for the retirement fund,
and would be, in effect, exactly the
same as the straight-out pension plan.
Once more the compulsory savings plan
would break down in it's effort to avoid
expense to the Government.
Ability to Get New Clerks.
Another feature of, this plan which
needs consideration is the effect it will
have upon the Governments ability to
secure new employees. 1t Is conceded
now that the pay of Government en-
ployes Is not nearly so attractive as
that of most private enterprises, and
efficient employees are constantly drawn
away to better and more advantageous
positions, with brighter prospects. One
Of the main objects in instituting some
kind of retirement pension system IL to
make the service more attractive and
at the same time more efficient by COM
manding the services of the best grade
of employees This would undoubtedly
be true If the pension was a straight
out one and all other things were equal.
But II the promised pension means
reduced salaries not only at the start,
but throughout the entire time, the
Government service would be anything
but attractive, and we would again be
defeatlnS tne very oDJect OF lnStltutlng
pensions. We would be driving away
the very employees we need, for the
promised pension would not look at all
attractive seen through a long series Of
years at reduced salaries.
THE Gillett bill would therefore prove
a failure from every point of view.
1T would thoroughly dissatisfy the
present employees. who find 1t SO ex-
tremely hard to live and support their
families on the present salaries, which
do not permit of sufficient margin for
savings or future provision for age or
infirmities. Deductions from these SAL
aries would seriously hamper and Grip
pie the employees of every age and
grade. and this hardship would have
its immediate effect on the service in
less efficiency, more discomfort. the
driving out of even the present employ
es, tOr at least the most efficient or
them who could manage to find positions
elsewhere; 1t would be hurting the ser
vice instead of improving ii and creating
another class of discontented citizens.
1t would discourage young men from
entering the Government service. to
whom a pension would not be at all
allurirg at the expense of smaller sal
aries. Only those who could not possi-
bly, find employment elsewhere would go
into the Government service.
It would not please the public. because
1t would cost at least million dollars
