The Question of a Bonus For
Another Fiscal Year
By BILL PRICE.

Plans of HERBERT BROWN, Government efficiency
expert for doing away with bonus and substituting there
for lump sum from which merit and efficiency shall be
recognized fortunately advocated ONLY in the event
that Congress puts through smpfed recassfcaton law
which will encourage real efficiency. And even when
coupled with recassfcation, the lump scheme must
be scrutinized most carefully.
Lump sum appropriations from which salaries may be
paid according to the wishes of executive officials shelter
favosm in the eanest sort of forms. They discourage
efficiency and undermine true civil service Hardworkng
efficient clerks without drag'' overlooked entirely
and increased salaries go to favores with inside
side pulls.
1t is hardly likely that Congress, in arranging bonus
for another for Government employees will undertake
to work off joker of such "umpy" nature There is
little probability that Congress will undertake eclassicaon
at the short session. and the question will be straight
of bonuses for another year On that there be little
doubt to what should be done. Nothing less than the
present $0 bonus should be provided in the appropriations
There is hardly single Government empoye being
paid and practically ALL of them underpaid This is
notably true to low-pad employees, who big
jority of the Governments workers.
Any reduction of tho bonus in the next fiscal year will
actual want to thousands of good and
who have barely been able to get along in recent years
Many deeply in debt Reduction in the cost of living
is going to be mighty slow process. The Government
should set example of cheap treatment of its workers.
