Early Retirement Expensive.
. The reply of the actuaries is that
provision of this kind is a dangerous
one unless very carefully safeguard
ed. inasmuch as often 1t grows into a
form of discretionary retirement at
early ages. Early retirements are
very costly to a retirement fund.
Provision might be made that en-
ployes receive the annuities which
their own contributions would pro-
vide at that age and any annuity
which the reserve held by the gov
ernment on their account would pur-

adopted by Congress?

In answer the board of actuaries
said that such a provision would in

and therefore would increase the

existing plan the government pro-
vides $4.577,42s. and under the pro-
posed plan the government would
provide s14,707.660.
The eighth question is: The sug-
gestion has been made that the gov
ernment permit q fiat benefit for eacE
year Of service Of the employe and
that in addition the employe receive
an annuity equal to the value of his
contribution. What fiat allowance
could the government afford to pay
without increasing the normal cost OF
the plan?
The answer of the board Of ac-
tuaries is that under the existing
plan the government Is paying more
for employees who are allowed to
retire at the age of sixty-two than
for those who may retire at the age
of sixty-five and more for those who
may retire at the age of sixty-five
than for those who may retire at the
age of seventy. For this reason. If
the normal cost is kept the same for
the government as it is under the
existing plan, the government can
give an allowance for each year of

appropriations required Of the gov
ernment to support the fund by an
amount equal to a certain percentage
of the pay roll of the unclassified en-
ployes. Assuming that the unclassi-
fed employees would fall within the
group for which the retirement age is
seventy, inclusion of these employees
in the plan would mean q contribu-
ton by the government Of .46 per cent
of their pay roll, plus a deficiency
contribution of approximately 1.52
per cent of their pay roll, or a total
contribution during the next thirty
years equal to 1.9S per cent Of their

II has been a matter Of great re-

honn snch as TO delay my visit TO ST. Crolx,
for NV interest in this Island is co-equal
in every way to that in the other Islands;

reDort to Congress, the Congressional
Commission which visited these Islands
over a year ago, characterized the sys

inefficient and archaic. The system is
still in force. but further delay in chang
ing it should not be INDUCED in, tor It is
neither fair nor agreeable to live under
laws that are deserving Of such sweep
ing arraignment before the bar OF unpre--
JUDGED judgment I am aware ina that
owing to the wording of the Act OF Con

pic hold to the belief that the local tax
laws cannot be changed without an act
Of Congress. l hold differently, tor
since these present local tax avs are IN
no wise compatible" with American
sovereignty or American principles, they
are thereby exempt from the provision
limiting changes in the law, and a Com
mission of Congress has condemned them
in its report. which report was adopteQ
and stands approved. Furthermore, 1T

association with the distinguished mem
