PAY MESSED
CLERKS CLAIM
Joint Conference on Salary Re-
vision Charges Congress Has
"Botched" Salary Bill.

Congress was today charged with
making a mess" of Government
employees salaries by the joint con-
ference on reclassification Of salaries
following a study of the legislative,
executive and judicial appropria-
tions bill.
The present inequalities in salaries
were declared to be due directly to
a lack of understanding by Congress
Of conditions of employees.
INJUSTICE IS ALLEGED.
In making reference to the appro-
priations bill the conference points
to an item in an amendment provid-
ing $4,000 annually for an assistant
chief clerk in the Department OF JUS
tice.
THE job may be worth it," says
the conference, land we are not ques-
tioning that point, but 'oking
through the bill and making compar-
isons we find that $4,000 is the an
nual salary paid the superintendent
of the division of rural mails. the
chief clerk of the Patent Office 'who
must be qualified to act as principal
examiner). the chief clerk of the
Navy Department and many like posi-
tions.
"We do not know just what was
the determining factor in the minds of
the committee in deciding on $4,000
as the salary for an assistant chief
clerk in the Department of Justice,
but we do not believe that any sound
reason can be advanced to snow that
IL that is a fair salary for this job
it is also a fair salary for the others
that we have named.
CHARGE "PULL" Is USED.
"Such instances as this seem to in
dicate plainly that salaries are not
fixed with much reference to relative
values, but solely with reference to
the persuasions of the particular case.
Congress itself makes the need for
reclassinfication more urgent by
every such instance as this"

,TAK0MA GAS
PROBE URGED
Mayor WiImeth Charges Price
Manipulation Makes Rate
$1.50 Per Thousand.

Charges that the gas rate OF $1.5O
. thousand cubic feet charged to
consumers in Takoma Park, Nd, by
the Washington Gas Light Company
OF Montgomery County. Nd, is "ex-
cessive. unfair and unreasonable,
are made In a formal complaint to
the Maryland Public Service Com
mission by Mayor James l.. VIII
meth. OF Takoma Park.
CLAIMS PRICE MANIPULATION.
Mayor Wilmeth. who Is said to have
the undivided support or the Takoma
Partk town council. alleges In his
complaint that the Maryland gas
concern is simply selling agency
for the Washington Gas Light Com
pany OF the District. and that by
manipulating the sale OF gas to the
Marylanders. the parent company Is
receiving a double profit.
The Maryland company is said to
be capitalized for $4,000. According
to Mayor Wilmeth. the major por-
ton of the so-called fixed capitaf
Is capital invested not by the re-
spondent but by the parent company,
"and for the purpose of marketing
It's product at a profit separate from
the prof1t OF the respondent"
Inc respondent is not enBdBcu IN

meth's complaint continues" 1t buys
all gas supplied by IL in Montgomery
county from it's parent company, and
pays for such gas at the rate hxed
by the Public Utilities Commission
OF the District of Columbia. This
rate Is the same as that charged
by the parent company to other pri-
vate consumers of one million cubic
feet or more per month.
ASKS PROBE OF BUSINESS.
"The present rate of $1.07 per 1000
cubic feet paid by the respondent to
its parent company was fixed by the
Public Utilities Commission OF the
District OF Columbia in its Order No.
393, dated October 20. 1920. which
order stated on it's face that rates
fixed therein were designed to enable
the parent company not only to earn a
full return of 9 per cent on the fair
value of its properties but in addition,
in the language of the order to com
pensate the parent company for the
lack Of such return during a portion
of the year"
The complainant stated that the
parent company will receive from the
Maryland selling agency" about $22,-
747.SS for gas delivered during 1921.
Mr.. Wilmeth charges a second profit
is being made in that the Maryland
company charges $3.50 per 1000 cubic
feet, a rate which became effective

Prince Georges or Prince Georges
county7
Nobody seems TO know. For gen
erations residents OF Hyattsville
have lived In the bustling little
town. too busy boosting their COM
munity TO care how people pro-
nounced the name OF their county.
Recently the editor Of the Hyatts-
VILE Independent, the local news
paper. ran short OF news. The
whispering siren" In the fire house
was acting beautifully. Frogs that
ate dynamite balls had Ned and
rabbits and tom cats playing In the
streets had become everyday occur
rences devoid Of news interest.
So the editor was stumped. After
smoking several pipeloads Of
'shag." the scribe hit upon an idea
How many folks know the correct
way to spell the name Of our
fair county?" he cried, as he fever
ishly began to write a powerful
piece for the next issue.
The article when II appeared in
the town paper created much ex-
element Gray-bearded historians
blew the dust from aged quartos
and octavos and plunged into musty
records to md the answer. But
up to press time today the riddle
remains unsolved.
Everyone has his or her opinion.
Professor X. j. Morris. primo pal
of the Hyattsville High School. be-
lieves the correct spelling of the
county's name is prince George"
Mrs. S. c. Sturgis. principal of the
elementary school. says she uses
prince Georges" because that was
the way school papers and docu-
ments were inscribed when she

She Is open to conviction. however.
and believes a search Of historical
records Is the best method of
settling the question.

ring to the county across the Dis
trict line, invariably spell it prince

So there you are.
