Justice and equity OF our requests.
Government clerks are underpaid.
Newspapers-have pointed to that fact
for a long time. Actual facts and in
stances, II they were but known,
would show that Government en-
pIoyes are underpaid so clearly that
the most economical minded member
OF Congress could not doubt IT. While
the salaries of workers in other lines
have been increased in proportion to
the mounting cost OF living, salaries
in the Government have remained
practically stationary for years, so
far as the older employees are con
cerned.
at is true~that men and women en-
ployed since the war began have been
given larger salaries-abnormall
large when compared to the salaries
of the older employees who do the
same work, and in many cases do it.
better. That is where the greatest
unfairness is shown.
Old Clerks UnderpaId.
81 can go into any Government de-
partment here in Washington and
pick out 100 old and experienced
clerks that are getting, say $1,000
a year. Then in the same depart
ment I can pick out new and mex
perienced clerks that arc getting
from 500 to 5000 more a year for
the same work. In many cases the
newer clerks do not do their work
as well as the older and small-saI-
aried ones.
1t is all right for the Government
to pay these new clerks higher sal
aries. 1t should be done. But the
older clerks should be given just as
much, or more. 1t costs them as
MUCH to live. That discrimination is
not wIllful on the part Of the author

 RESIGNATION |S
 YET UNSETTLED
Adjutant General Harris in Second Letter Says
 He Will Not Turn Over Impedimenta of Office

In reply to second letter from Gov ernor Campbell delivered to him on Monday evening informing him that his services as adjutant- general would end at o'clock last night, Colonel Harris wrote that he would be at the office daily to attend to his official duties.
 The letter of the governor directed that the property and records of the office be turned over to Captain Temple, the personal representative of the governor. In his repfy, Colonel Harris stated that he was the only per- son charged with the custody of the property and the records and he was under bond for his proper care of them. In justice to his bondmen he said he was, therefore, compelled to decline to quit the office.
 In the view of the governor there is now no adjutant general of Arizona; in the view of Colonel Harris there is one. This is situation that would naturally, inevitably produce a collision and today is the time.
 One of the reasons given by the gov ernor for the vacation of the office was that after August the entire na- tional guard would be in the federal service there would be no duties for the adjutant general to perform. AS an indication that the governor is in error on that point, Colonel Harris yesterday exhibited a letter from the command = ing general of the southern department informing him that soon after August instructions would be forwarded to him to call the national guard reserve into the federal service.
