Army Of Clerks Support Washington

height Of the season Is on they leno
an atmosphere Of hustling prosperity
to the town, but when the warm
months come around they leave town
with filled purses and spend their
bulky sum at the seashore and noun
tain resorts. The busy clerks stick to
their posts in all kinds of weather
and all through the year and when the
gloom settles down after the big guns
are gone the government clerk Is the
only hope Of the merchant and the
amusement managers. 1t may seem
strange, but when closely figured out
the humble government clerk Is the
mainstay of our capital city.
During the long, months when the
congressman and senators are enjoy
ing the luxuries Of vacation the clerk
must sweat for his daily bread. Those
humid summer months Of Washington
are hard on a mans nerves and dis
position and hence the physician and
lawyer are kept from the door OF pow
erty. Food. dress and amusement
must be had and this necessity pro
vides for the well being OF still an
other class. In this way the 10000
clerks keep things moving during the
dead season. II the clerks were to
follow the example Of the legislators
and 20 to summer resorts to rest up
for two or three months the capital
city would take ON the appearance OF
a deserted village. the merchants
would be compelled to close up shop
and grass would begin to appear bs'
tween the cracks Of the sidewalk

Labor Bureau Investigates Insurance

operative insurance against accidents
to workmen engaged in mining.
The forms of old age insurance now
in operation in the European countries
are classified by the commissioner OF
labor as voluntary insurance not sub
sidized by the government. voluntary
insurance receiving government subsi
dies, compulsory insurance, and non
contributory insurance. The investt
cation revealed that In number OF
European countries funds are found
which provide old age pensions for en-
ployees on tho basis Of contributions
from both employers and workmen.
Usually the employer requires the
workman to Join the fund, 80 that a.
far as the employee Is concerned tho
system may be regarded as compul
sorry.
The three European countries havina
a national system Of compulsory old
age insurance are Austria, France and
Germany. In each case the law emu
merates the classes Of persons subject
to the law In Austria, the law In
cludes salaried persons only. though
the government Is now engaged IN
formulating . plan for . national sys'
tenn OF insurance for workmen. In
France and Germany the law covers
nearly all the population gainfully en-
ployed who are receiving wages or sal
aries. though many Independent per
sons of small means are included. Tbs
expense of the pension in each OF the
three countries Is met by paymenta
from the insured persons and from the
EMPLOYERS.

TERMINAL TAX BILL
Senator Saunders Pet Measure
Killed In Upper House
EVERY SENATOR WAS PRESENT
Differs From the Present System OF
Taxation Materially, Opposition
From the Rural Districts
and Small Towns Win.

Des Moines, March 24.-The senate
voted down the Saunders terminal
tax" bill which has as it's purpose
the revision of the system of taxing
railway property so as to give cities
and taxing districts the benefit of the
tax on immovable and tangible prop
erty located within it's corporate linn
its.
The Saunders bill differs from the
present system of taxation material
ly. Under the existing laws the rail-
way company Is supposed to be taxed
as unit and the tax collected dis
tributed among the cities, towns,
counties and taxing districts by the
state executive council in proportion
to the miles of main line through
each of the several taxing districts.
Senator Saunders maintained that
this system was unfair to the cities,
where there are miles of side tracks,
huge freight houses and lots of other
railroad property which receives the
protection of the city and has all the
benefits of the city. He maintained
that the tax on this property should
60 to the city and not be scattered
out all across Iowa.
Opposition to the bill developed
from members of the senate from rur-
al districts and from senator's from
smaller towns. They claimed that the
rural districts which supply the bust
ness for the railway companies are
necessary for the life of the COM
panies and for the towns themselves.
are entitled to share of the tax, just
as they now receive it.

Senate Shocked in Closing Session

the Sen1te adjourned the legislative
day Of March g. When the senate re-
covered therefrom 1t was for both
the legislative and calendar day Of
March I.
AS soon AZ It became noised about
that custom had been violated. sena.
tors began a hasty examination Of
precedents. Senator Gallinger was in
the chair. He referred the question
to Henry H. Gilfry. the senate parlia.
mentarian. After long search It was
discovered that while the senate never
had a legislative day Of March for
the purpose Of winding up session OF
congress. there was no reason. except
custom, for that fact.
For the first time. therefore. leaders
Of the senate learned that the calendar
day Is superior to the legislative day
in determining parliamentary situa-
tons.
