Uniform and Equitable Pay

1t provides that it shall be the duty
of the commission to investigate rates
of compensation paid to civilian en-
ployes by the municipal government
and the various executive departments S
in the District Of Columbia. except the
navy yard and the postal service. and
to report by bill or otherwise as soon
as practic BILE what recia sification
and readjustment of compensation n
should be made. so as to provide uni
form and equitable pay for the same
character of employment throughout
the District of Columbia.
Senator Henderson said he had no
doubt that after the ella ssifications
have been esta blished for the govern
ment employees in the District they
will be extended to cover the employees
throughout the country. He said. too,
that in addition to studying the ques-
ton of reclassification of employees.
the commission would go into the
question of adequate compensation,
and that in this connection il would
inquire into salaries paid for similar
work outside the government service.
He pointed out that government en-
ployes are still being paid at rates
established by law many years ago
and that in the meantime the cost of
living has incr reased so greatly that
the compensation no longer is fair.

DOUBT.

Unon this earth we walk about,
There's altogether too much doubt
Men doubt the books upon their
shelves
And doubt their neighhors and them
selves.
They doubt the strength that they
And doubt their fellow mans sue
cess.
They doubt the motives of friend:
Doubt that the present woe will end.
Yet joy returns and truth exists
And sunshine clears away the mists-
This life appears to be d bout
With the remorseless foe of doubt.
On every hand its troops are placed
And everywhere its guns are faced.
Who xearns TO reach mountain
The beauty of the world TO seek.
Must overcome the doubt that S
Like tangled weeds where he must
tread.
Relieving with faith sublime
That he shall reach the top in time.
There, is no sustenance in doubt.
No strength of heart or muscle stout;
No coura ge for the hour of test;
It's fruit is taste'eSs al the best.
It's record $ unfinished deeds
And vanished hopes and broken
creeds.
And failures sad. and goals ungained
And splendid victories unattained.
1t has no future life of bliss,
And steals away the joy of this.
Relieve in God believe in man.
Pit faith in everything YOU plan.
= r'ave YOU have the power to do
Wha, tasks the da" shall bring TO
YOU
AVID he SO strou~ in faith that when
You meet the common griefs Of men.
Won sill can bear with sorrows pain.
KIiowirg that 10y shall come again.
Live out your life with courage stout
THehe is no manliness in doubt.

the country realizes what has been

the democrats generally viii argue
to the country that the republicans
have been responsible for the failure
OF these measures. the republicans
on the other hand, will point out that
they used no more time of the ses
sion in the considera ton of bills than
did the democrats. They will say also
that the democrats. being in the ma
iority, were responsible for the legis-
lative situation. and that the demo-
Gratis were very slow getting impor
tant bills under way and then. at the
demand of the President. asked that
these bills be put through in the
closing hours of the session practi
caliy without opportunity to consider
them on the floor.
The republicans will point out also
that during the six years that the
democrats have been in control of
Congress only in the year 1915 were

nuaI appropriation bills in the short
sessions ending March 4 in 1915, 1917
