SALARY REVISION
TO COST S275,0O0
Per Capita Expense of RecIassi.
fication Is Estimated by Com
sion at S2.75.

If the Government employees were
to foot the bill for the cost of reclas-
styling their positions it would cost
each s2.57, according to the financial
report of the joint commission on re-
classification OF salaries which will
go to Congress showing a balance of
SS5.3s of the appropriation of 100000
to carry on the work.
The task of reclassification will
'ost the Government approximately
S2T5,000. IL was calculated this morn
ing. Figuring on the basis Of 100000
Government employees, this would
mean a per capita cost of S2.57, which
Is regarded as exceedingly cheap when
the enormous work entitled Is con-
sdered.
The reclassIfying job has consumed
practically one year in time, through
out which an average of 100 clerks,
'tenographers, statisticians and others
we're detailed from the various Gov
eminent departments to rcclassifica-
ton headquarters.
All of these workers were carried
on the same salary and pay roll OF
the department from which they were
assigned. They were all experts in
their various lines and their average
about $1,000.
The actual appropriation Of $4,000
vas principally consumed by salaries
If the commissioners and special ex-
perts required in the work,
The three House members of the
commission each received a salary OF
$500 per year. The remaining COM
missioners, as members of Congress
received. of course, only their Con-
gressional salary.
Deducting the salaries of the three
commissioners leaves only about
$50 900, out of which n printing bill
of $4,000 had to be paid. as well as
special employees, both at headquar-
"rs arH in the field, and numerous
incidentals.
Several attacks have been made ir
Congress on the amount of money the
reclassifying commission is costing
the Government. 1t is believed thai
when the detailed financial report OF
he commission is studied by Congress
and the big Job the commission has
performed Is seen, that any adverse
opinion which might exist Will bc
speedily eliminated.

HANGING IS BARBAROUS,
SENATOR DIAL DECLARES
Points to Execution Today as Fur
Their Argument in Favor of
Electric Chair Here.

1T is regarded as matter for cor
rection, without further delay, that
the National Capital should retain a
mode OF capital punishment which en-
lightened opinion has long since con-
DENIED as barbarous. and which has
been abandoned by many of the States
in favor OF electrocution," Senator
Dial, Of South Carolina. was stirred
to comment today by the hanging that
took place in the District jail.
Senator Dial is the man who put
through the Senate, practically with
out opposition, bill abolishing
hanging in the District Of Columbia,
and substituting electrocution as a
more humane punishment for capital
offenses.
"Such scenes as this enacted in the
District today are the best arguments
in the world for the passage of my
bill by the House." Senator Dial de-
clared. ~ hope the House District
Committee will take speedy action in
fore another such hanging tokns place
within sight of the National Capitol"
washington is supposed to serve
as a model for the entire nation, but
1t has stood still while other States
have advanced to realize that hang
ing is a relic of barbarous days and
disgrace to civilized communities.
MY bill is designed to insure
against unseemly exploitation of an
execution as a mobid spectacle. The
number of persons to be present is
limited, also, by the size Of the death
chamber, which IT has been found
good practice to have no larger than
is absolutely necessary for economy
Of space and for technical reasons
This section also provides for the at
tendance OF civilian witnesses. as
check and safeguard, although the
formal certification Is made by the
prison physician and the executioner.'
Senator Dial took occasion to point
out that among the States that have
laws providing death penalty by cleo
trocution are Indiana, Kentucky,
Massachusetts,, Nebraska, New York,
Ohio, Oklahoma South Carolina, and
Vermont
THE time has come when the
hangman's moose must be put in the
museum in Washington as n relic Of
other days" said Senator Dial
There is no moral argument that
can be used in it's defense, so long
as there are more humane methods
OF punishment to substitute for it."
Senator Dial declared that the cost
OF establishing an electric chair in
the District Jail would be compare
lively little. Any electrician, he said.
can perform the duties.
