The Department Retirement Vote.

For some years past efforts have
been made to secure from Congress
an enactment establishing a system
of departmental retirements for the
dual purpose OF relieving the con-
eestion in the civil Offices of the gov
ernment and granting deserved re-
lief to the superannuated employees
who have devoted their lives to the
service OF the United States. Up to
this time no success has been
achieved, largely because OF prelu-
dice on the part of the lawmakers
against creating civil retirement
list. Meanwhile the question has
been raised whether such a system
should be maintained exclusively at
the cost of the government or on
the basis of contributions from both
the government and the clerkSthem-
selves. Each proposition has its adj
vocates. Naturally from a purely self
ish point of view the government
clerks would prefer to have retire
ment fund maintained exclusively By
the United States, but many of them
hold that it is impossible to obtain
so liberal form of departmental PEN
sion and advocate the contributary
system as the most practical.
In order to ascertain the opinions
of the clerks themselves The Star
has undertaken to canvass the de-
partments in Washington, and for
this purpose has begun the publica-
ton of a test coupon, which is to be
filled out by the clerks in answer to
certain questions which bear upon
the whole matter of the status OF the
government employees, and partieu-
larly the alternative proposals for re-
tirement. 1t is hoped by this means
to obtain a reliable poll OF the clerks,
and the publication OF the results will
without doubt furnish valuable in
formation for use in the effort to Sc
cure the desired legislation.
The Star urges all government en-
DlONcS dl the Capital ~ M Cut l4iiS
coupon in answer TO the questions
as promptly as possible. All results
will be published anonymously, the
names OF the voters being kept strict
ly in confidence. and thus there need
be no hesitation on the part OF any
government employe about submit
ting his view OF the matter over his
signature and identification as to po-
sition. Ample time will be given in
the publication of these coupons to
reach all the workers in the govern
'mcnt service. The Star has no
thought in this enterprise OF promot-
ing any particular form of govern
mcnt retirement, regarding ii as pri-
marily necessary to secure from Con-
gress an enactment which will put
the departmental service upon basis
OF equity and humanity, confident
that the method adopted will be the
one best adapted to the conditions.
