URGE HIGHER SALARIES
AND RETIREMENT PLAN
Western Governors Believe
Compensation of Govern
ment Clerks Is Inadequate.

Before the western governors boarded
their trains this morning, they expressed
opinions to the effect that the employees
of the federal government in Washing
ton and throughout the country were
not adequately paid. and also that a
retirement system should be estab-
lished.
Gov. West of Oregon declared that
the government was losing money be-
cause Of it's failure to adopt retire.
ment system for its superannuated gov
eminent clerks.
"A private corporation which retained
on its pay roll clerks who have passed
the days of efficiency. as does the
national government, would go broke in
no time" said Gov: West.
The western governors, when told of
the salary paid the average government
clerk in Washington. declared that their
pay should be increased, and that they
would support a movement for better
pay.
Let the clerks come out west; we
can do better for them than the gov
eminent is doing at present" was an
opinion generally expressed by the gov
ernOrS.

ASK FULL CONTROL
Commissioners Want JuriSdiC-
ton Over Water Supply.
BILL SENT TO CONGRESS
War Department Has Been Request
ed to Assist in Securing Passage
of Measure.

The District Commissioners today sent
to Congress a bill which. IL enacted into
law, will lodge in the District govern
ment entire control and supervision OF
the water supply and distribution sys-
TENS of the District.
Early this week the Commissioners
transmitted to the assistant secretary OF
war; Robert Shaw Oliver. a com1nunica-
ton expressing their desire that the
Washington aqueduct. filtration plant
and appurtenances, which are under the
supervision of the War Department, be
eurned over to the District, and request
ing the cooperation of the department
n the event legislation Of this nature
should be proposed to Congress.
Regarded as Urgent Need.
The prompt action of the Commission
ers in sending to Congress bill designed
to bring about the improvement desired
is taken as an indication that they regard
the proposed transfer of the aqueduct ana

charge of the Washington aaueduct, rec
take over certain water mains. now under
federal control. In refusing to indorse
this recommendation the Commissioners,
in their letter to the assistant secretary
of war; stated that they would be in
favor only of the District securing entire
control Of the water supply and distribu-
ton systems.
The Commissioners state that the pro-
posed transfer, in their opinion, would re-
suit in marked economy in administers
ton and operation charges and would be
clearly in the interests of good govern
ment.
The interests of the United States, they
say, would not suffer by such transfer,
as the control of the entire system would
be under the legislative power of Con-
,reSS, and, In case of war or other rea-
sons for the United States assuming con-
troll, such jurisdiction could be retrans-
TERED to the War Department.
One of the provisions Of the bill trans
mitted to Congress today is that the sup
ply of water to all buildings, PARKS struc-
lures, land, ETC., owned by the United
States shall be, at all times, free and
unrestricted.

Mr. Weller said is not based on fact,

ment. Very few people take it, so IL
you do, you will have a novel expert
ence.
It is the train of thought that leads
into the land of the other side of the
question.
That is instead of trying to marshal
all the conditions that make you ex-
cusable. this time you are to try to
marshal all the conditions that make
your friend excusable.
You are to say to yourself, "She is
really much more tired than l am. She
works under a terrible strain all the
time in that hurried, noisy, hot office.
Besides, this is just the last week be-
fore her vacation and she is at the end
of her rope. And then she has had that
anxiety about her mother the last few
months. I suppose, too, the chairman
ship of that committee was altogether
too much for her to have to do, and
besides she didn't really know how
much I had done It was easy to see
from what she said that some one had
deceived her or made a mistake. So
suppose she thought she was being per-
fectly reasonable and when I snapped
out So she felt that was unjust And
then she didn't know how tired was
and that I had a headache and anyway
she may have had a terrible hard day
herself. So I suppose she has some
reason for thinking I ought to say I'm
sorry"
Altogether. your grievance has very
different aspect wheE you emerge from
This train of thought, hasn't it?
And yet the facts haven't changed i
bit-only your way of looking at them
and for them.
Which train will you take, my friend?
Yes, is certainly requires more cour-
age and altruism and more of a sense
of Justice and fairness than the aver
age person has to climb into that sec
ond train.
But surely you are glad of an oppor-
tunity to prove that you have all that?

if I wouldn't give something for the

that meat for dinner was bad and L
