/ MAY AVOID COMMISSION
| ON THE PENSION LAW
One Department Disbursing Officer
Already Has Approved Plan
Now Proposed.

The plan to administer any retire

enacted by Congress through the dis

departments. and thus avoid the Gre
ton of any Commission" to administer
the act. has received the appreciation
Of the disbursing officer of one Of the
largest of the government departments.
1t would be highly efficient. both
from the standpoint of government and
clerks alike. this disbursing officer be-
lieves. II the whole handling of a re-
tfrement and pension law were to be
left in the hands Of the various depart
ments and large bureaus Each dis
bursting officer could easily handle the
work for his department. the officer de-
clared. especially II the same system of
hsndling the pensions would be used
as is now used by the pension bureau.
Unless the law Is complicated by
measures involving the keeping track
of the pensions. this official believes
that the administration of the act
would go logically to the disbursing

time and effort, and at the same time
supply that personal touch with the
superannuated which would be entirely
lacking II the law were administered
by one centralized commission.
Putting the administration of the
law. when enacted. under the disburs-
ing officers would supply this personal
touch, as each department is most ia
miliar with its own cases. Instead of
there being cases. such as have existed
in the departments. of men beyond the
age limit who believe that they are
still as efficient as ever. the working
Of the law. II put under the adminfstra-
ton Of the disbursing officers would be
to facilitate the retirement Of men and
women who. really for their own sakes
as well as that of the government,
should be drawing pensions from the
