Inquiry Reveals Waste
Workers. Federation An
swered by Figures; Huge
Sum of Taxes Consumed

From The Trtbune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug 23.-The pres.
ent number Of civil emp oyees of the
Federal government whose salaries are
paid by the taxpayers, is 7e0.110 as
compared with 420,572 on June 80
1913, according to the figures Of the
Civil Service Commission.
This was brought out to-day in an
answer by Clarence B. Miller, secre-
tary of the Republican National Com
mittee, to L. c. Steward. president OF
the National Federation of Federal EN-
ployees. This organization had taken
exception to Mr.. Miiler's public state
ment that the horde of unnecessary
government employees should be dis
missed.
Mr.. Miller says, in part:
The main burden OF your complaint
Is that, even if we cut off the unneces-
sary employees in the government ser
vice, the amount saved would not be
SO very great and that the high cost
Of living would not be reduced en-
tirely by SO doing. Ny answer is that
we should cut off vase Wherever we
find it and that one way to reduce the
high cost of living is to cut off need
less government expenditures, which
inevitably materially increases the cost
of living. 1t was never asserted that
by cutting off these unnecessary en-
ployees, the entire cost of living cues
ton would be answered To cut them
OF, however, is an important step in
the right direction.
Living Cost Not Discussed
You labor under a serious misap-
prehension in your second paragraph
You enter upon discussion that the
cost of labor is not the first element
in the high cost of living. l made no
suggestion or no statement that could
include any such discussion. I am
not talking about how much labor
costs in regard to the high cost of liv-
ing. | am saying that any large num-
Der of unnecessary employees in the
government service increases the cost
Of living, in that the cost thereof has
to be paid by the American people in
taxes, and taxes form a part of the
cost of living. I am not saying how
much necessary employees should re-
ceive. | am saying unnecessary en-
ployees should not be kept on the
payroll at public expense at any price.
Any system of government under
which ten men are kept busy on a job
which five men can do is wasteful and
extravagant and must inevitably place
a heavy burden upon the taxpayers Of
the country.
an your discussion of the number
of employees, it is evident you have
not acquainted yourself with the facts;
otherwise, you certainly would not
have made any Of the statements you
did make. Here is a table carefully
compiled from the records of the Civil
Service Commission, giving the number
of employees in the government serv-
ice. both inside and outside of the Dis
