FAVOR FEDERAL PENSIONS
Taft Sends Message to Congress Ap-
proving Plan.

Washington.-President Taft sent to
congress a message approving the plan
of the commission on economy and eff
ficiency to retire all government en-
ployes at the age of 20 years on an
nuities eqaul to half salary, with maxi
mum limit at $500.
The plan provides that employees enter
ing the service after adoption of the
superannuation plan shall make annual
contributions to provide retirement
fund.
The commission estimates that the
plan would cost the government 1927 900
year during the next twenty years, and
that the saving during the succeeding
sixteen years would equalize it.
Present employees should be assessed
not exceeding eight per, cent. The gov
ernment would contribute for employees
who are nearing 20 years. Employees who
leave the service could withdraw their
deposits to the retirement fund with in
terest at four per cent.
