PRESIDENT TO HAVE
QUIET NEW YEAR DAY

New Year day and the White House
will present a remarkable contrast to
the busy scenes of other years, when
a public reception by the President
was an annual event in the National
Capital.
One reason for the Unusual quietude
is the fact that the President was
somewhat fatigued by the Christmas
celebration and the observance of his
birthday which followed on December
2S. On the latter occasion his daugh-
tor. Mrs. Francis b. Sayre. and her
husband arrived as guests at >the
White House and the President over
taxed himself SO that he was much
fatigued the following day Mr.. and
Mrs. Sayre will remain in the city
over the holiday. ----.-----

Mr. Choate'. Wnrnin..

Mr.. Choate characterized the admin
istrative officials he spoke for as the
business executives of the government
service"
He said that there are now chief
clerks in the government service here
getting $500 year. Mr.. Choate warn
ed the commission against showing
any leaning toward a college degree"
in making out class specifications. and
quoted poetry to show that the
school experience" must be reckoned
with. The poem was the first to be
sprung on the commission during
the course of the hearings, which end
this afternoon with the hearing of
the accountants.
Equalization of salaries ased
upon the services rendered is the first
step toward reclassification," said the
brief But after this step shall have
been taken it is believed that the
average salary for these several fpO-
sitions should be increased above The
present average rate. and that such
increase should be reasonable and fair
both to the workers and to the tax
payers who receive the benefit as well
as meet the cost of the service rem
dered. Such increase will be neces-
sary to secure and retain an efficient
and worthwhile administrative and
supervisory personnel"
Conclusions Reached.
The committee presented the fol-
lowing conclusions: THE salaries
now being paid persons occupying the
positions under consideration are not
commensurate with their duties and
responsibilities. This condition is be-
lieved TO be SO generally recognized
and accepted that the committee
deems it unnecessary to enter into any
argument in support of the statement.
1T is in the interests of economy
and efficiency in the government serv-
ice to secure the highest possible
grade of personnel to meet the duties
and responsibilities of these positions.
AS commercial concerns, particularly
large establishments. find it economi-
cal to pay high salaries in order to
secure the ableSt men, so ii Will be in
the interest of the government serv-
ice to pay such salaries with the same
object in view. for it is submitted
that persons occupying supervisory
places are in position by careful
study of conditions to inaugurate
methods which will result in the eco
nOmical operation of government
agencies and to take other measures
ordinarily taken by men occupying
such positions looking to the careful
and business-like management of the
establishm ments under their charge.

can be materially promoted by holding
