10000 BY MARCH |
TO AID IN WAR WORK
Estimated Increase in Gov
ernment Employ in Next
Two Months.

Ten thousand more government en-
| p1oyes in Washington by March 1 is
| the estimate Of George Wales, chief
examiner of the Civil Service Commits
sion. This is conservative estimate.
| many more than 10000 additional
| workers brought here during January
| and February.
| All the departments and bureaus of
the government will share in the in
crease. as there has been a general de-
mand from all government agencies for
more and more clerks, stenographers
and typewriters, and all sorts Of help
ers.
With approximately 10000 clerks add
ed to the federal payrolls in Washing
ton since war was declared, the addf-
tiona1 10000 will swell the number to
$4,000 people.
The majority of the 10000 will be
women. 1t is stated. Salaries. as a rule,
will not be higher than usual, al
though there will be some exceptions.
The War Department has "set the
pace" for wages to new employees. This
department is paying s1,100 as en-
trance salary to new clerks, with pro-
motion to $1,000 a year within three
months if the clerk proves capable.
Clerical Help at 5000 Problem.
The various departments are finding
it increasingly difficult to secure clerks
and stenographers at lesser wages, and
1t is probable that some such standard
as the War Department has set will
be put in force throughout the service
as matter of necessity. How some Of
the bureaus of the government are to
get clerical help at 5000 year. as in
the old days, is a question which the
civil service admits is a puzzling one
The War Department will be the
heaviest bidder for the new clerks
during the next two months. The
various bureaus-ordnance, quarter
masters department, signaEone and
all will get increases in their per-
sonnet
Between 800 and 1000 new employees
will be needed by the internal revenue
service to carry out the new tax meas
ures. The war risk insurance board
will take several hundred. The war
trade board is growing SO rapidly, now
occupying fourteen buildings, that it
will get many new clerks also The
office OF markets is extending it's work
at such a rate that hundreds of new
clerks and stenographers will be re-
quired.

.WHEN LIBERTY BONDS
ARE EXEMPT FROM TAX
Statement Issued by Secretary Nc.
Adoo to Clear Up Many
Misunderstanding.

The exemption OF the I per cent
liberty bonds from certain forms of
taxation is explained by Secretary
McAdoo of the Treasury Department in
a statement issued by him to clear up
this question.
''The per cent liberty bonds" said
Secretary McAdoo. "are exempt from
all state and local taxes except estate
or inheirtances taxes.
They are exempt from United States
normal income taxes and from all other
United States taxes except estate or
Inheritance taxes and except income
surtaxes, excess profits and war profits
taxes.
The interest on $4,000. principal
amount Of bonds and certificates owned
by any Individual partnership associa-
ton or corporation, is exempt from all
United States taxes except estate or In
heritance taxes.
This is true. though their total hold
ings exceed $4,000.
+ I'm case of holdings by trustees. each
beneficiary is entitled to Independent
exemption of the interest Of 5000
principal amount held in trust for him
even through the trustee is Identical il
the trusts be separate.
"In case of families the wife and each
child, II the actual owner. Is entitled
to Independent exemption Of the inter
est on $1,000 principal amount SO
owned.
NO ownership certificate or other
so-caIled information at the source will
be required under the war revenue act
in connection with the payment Of the
interest on those bonds, whatever the
amount owned
"Undistributed income invested in
these bonds is not subject to the ad-
ditional tax imposed by that act on
undistributed income.
The foregoing statements apply to
the per cent liberty bonds now of
fered for subscription and also to those
issuable upon conversion of the 81
per cent liberty bonds"
