There are q large number Of en-
ployes in the Treasury Department.
should say, roughly speaking. about
LOCO employees, who have reached
the age where they are no longer
rendering hrst-clasS service 10 the
Government. Some Of them are rem
dering 30 per cent efficient service,
some Of them so per cent, some OF
them 25 per cent, and a few practi-
cally nothing, and officials OF the
Government and officials of the
Treasury Department, and, I think,
that Is true OF all departments. feel
The report itself argues:
at has long been patent that. in the
various administrative branches Of
the Government, employees have been
retained long after they had, by rea-
son Of age and bodily inhrmity, ceased
TO be efficient The law having made
no provision for their support in
whole or in part during their declin-
ing years, the heads OF departments
and bureaus have through sympathy
kept many aged employees in the
nominal service OF the Government
and their names on the payroll. The
real work OF the position, in such
cases, has deVolved on other and
younger employees. This. OF course,
has resulted in loss to the Govern
ment, and II would appear that in
some cases the equivalent OF two
salaries has been, or Is being, paid for
that service for which the compensa-
ton should have been but one salary
OF course, work done by those whose
faculties are impaired by reason OF
age is not as a rule efficiently done,
and the Government in this respect
sustainsia loss difficult to estimate.
The system Is q vicious one, both
from the standpoint OF economy and
efficiency. To the extent that the en-
ploye. drawing the regular salary
which his position commands. is un-
able to perform fully or efficiently the
work OF the average person in a like
position. such employe is a pensioner
OF the Government. and. as above in
timated. the attention OF your COM
mittee has been called to many cases
where the service rendere by the
employe was so slight that he is prac- |
tically a pensioner to the full amount
OF his salary.
while such employees are thus pen
sioners. the system which permits |
them to be such is not a pension sys-
tenn. The compensation received over
and above the value OF the service |
rendered is not measured or certain;

The clever and attractive Miss Mad
laine Traverse will be seen on the
screen at the Murrette today, for the
last time today in "The Danger Zone"
This is a most satisfying picture. This
beautiful William Fox star uses forci-
bly, each Of the big points In the pic
ture, her dramatic acting being above
par at all times.
In his latest comedy, 1.-THE Sheriff"
Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle. is western
sheriff whose models Of action and
propriety are we'll known motion pic
ture heroes of the athletic and quick
at-the-draw variety. The sherin has
a fondness for the feats OF Douglas
Fairbanks and William 8. Hart, and
he seeks to Guido them at every OPP
portunity.
His assistants are Luke, his dog,
and Snow Ball, a negro boy. They live
and dine together. and one day while
they are taking a nap together, one
cowboy tells his companions how the
sheriff had invaded Mexico and had
aroused the jealousy OF every swain
by his vigorous courtship OF the dain-
ty senoritas. To protect himself, the
sheriff shot up the town and made a
thrilling escape.
The comedy is chock full of action
and laughable incidents. When the
sheriff invades the Mexican town, he
climbs a church steeple to a dizzy
height and holds his antagonists at
bay in real reel fashion. He climbs
Balconies like a simian and makes
love under circumstances that would
dismay most wooers not inspired by
the examples of motion picture he
roes. The comedy will be shown at
the Murette today, Friday and Satur-
day, and it Is certain to be acclaimed
one of the best in which Fatty Ar
buckle has appeared in many moons.
