more extensive and the responsible
ties greater. All salaries should be
adjusted to a similar scale both as
to basic amount and bonus according
to the comparative responsibilities
and duties of each such position.
This committee understands that
salaries outside the government serv-
ice and other considerations are also
to be taken account of by the COM
mission in fixing salaries. The above
recommendation is, however on the
increased cost of living alone, as tina
was the only question referred to the
committee.
Two Reasons for Recommendations.
There are two reasons for the
recommendation that. an increased
base pay tie supplemented by a per-
centage bonus. The first reason is
that it gives a relatively permanent
list of salaries and permits the
changes from time to time to be made
in the percentage bonus, which would
be much more convenient in practice
than to change all salaries. The sec
cond reason is that the increase in
prices that has occurred is probably
due in large part to causes that will
continue to act for many years, but In
part it is due to causes OF temporary
character. Hence it is reasonable to
expect that such fluctuations IN prices
as occur, for the next few years, at
any rate. could be taken care OF by
changes in the bonus. the more per
manent part of the increased prices
being covered by the increase in the
base pay.
Your committee does not think it
possible to devise any satisfactory
method of effecting changes in the
salary scale automatically in accord
ance with the cost of living index.
However. a detailed report to Con-
gress annually with definite recon-
mendations from wage board. would
make it practicable for Congress to
act. whereas in the past there was no
agency to work out and submit def
mite proposals for wage changes. The
committee recommends that this per-
manent wage board shall make thor
ough studies of the needs of the gov
eminent service, of wages and sal
aries and other conditions outside the
government service. shall take account
of changes in the cost of living as de-
termined by the bureau of labor sta
tistics. and, in the light of all the in
formation available, shall make rec
concentrations as to necessary or de-
sirable changes. either upward or down
| ward, both in the base salaries and in
| the bonus.

This bonus could be altered from year
to year, whenever the cost of living or
other conditions changed substantially,
without changing the base pay. If
prices decreased considerably in the
next few years, the bonus might disap-
pear altogether; if they increased, it
should be increased. The bureau of
la Dor statistics finds that the cost of
living in the District of Columbia has
increased 80 per cent since 1913.
Increases Proposed.

wages that afford an equivalent pur-
