S2S,60O,OOO SAYING
SEEN IN SERVICE PAY
Joint Commission Completes
Bill for New Basis Affect
ing Six Departments.

WASHINGTON, Feb. - (Associatet
Press. THE joint Congressional servic
pay commission completed its work
late to-day and ordered favorably re-
ported to the House and Senate a bill
providing new basis of pay for the
Corps Coast Guard. Public Health Ser
vice and the Coast and Geodetic Survey
The measure. its trainers hope. will
save the Government ultimately a total
of $2S,60o,OOo annually in the pay of the
six services. based CD the present
strength of each.
For the fiscal year 1925 the new rate
of pay under the bill would reduce the
total OF the budget for the six services
by approximately sl3.1Oc.0oO, according
to an estimate by Chairman wads-
worth. In the five years thereafter a
further reduction of S9,4S0, 900 would be
accomplished annually provided the
strength of the services remained un.
changed.
After that time the ultimate" saving
would be $2S.6O0 900 a year, according
to figures which the commission will
submit to the two houses of Congress.
The proposed pay arrangement is
based on a combination of length OF
service with the rate increases inciden,
to promotion. Members of the committee
said that in some instances there would
be sharp cuts for younger men, but
these. it was believed, would be more
than offset by provisions protecting the
personnel in times of slow promotions.

basis established in 1908

depression 2" The Governor of the
Federal Reserve Banks is the first to
respond, stating with dignity that he
and his five colleagues, who the Presi-
dent WAS TOLD TO APPOINT, con-
troll all the money in the country, and
have most of it locked up in the
vaults. Yet he is quite sure that the
bankers are in no way responsible
for the condition.
The railroad magnate politely con-
fesses that he has looted the govern
ment and the public, which of course
is only a matter of business, and he
cannot see that he is guilty Of any
offense
The meat packer briefly asserts that
he has feeced the farmer and con-
sumer alike.
At this time some individual, clothed
in the regalia of gentleman, and
endowed with the intellect of a jack
ass, with a similar countenance, arises
to exclaim that he is rather imbued
with the idea that labor is receiving
IA compensation in excess of that
which is conducive to the best inter-
ests of the public. Upon hearing
such magnanimous thought ex-
pounded, which in their Judgment
thoroughly clears the mist from the
horizon and leaves the barriers which
is obstructing the progress of in
dustry in plain view, the philanthropic
gentlemen who expend so much energy
in the interest of the government and
the public at such conventions shout
"Those are the fellows" A motion is
then made and passed unanimously as
follows:
eve, the comptrolership of wealth
and industry, and dictators of govern
mental affairs, do hereby agree to de-
mand that all our subordinate officials
of industries and government reduce
the earnings of all employees, except
those having capital invested, such as
railroad presidents, ETC."
The prosperity of a nation depends
upon the production and consumption
of products. When the purchasing
power of the wage-earner is reduced
consumption is reduced. When the
consumption of products stop all the
money goes back to the Golfers of the
rich, who go to Europe to spend it.
1t is interesting to the writer, as he
travels around over the country,
where he is in position to see the
thousands of unemployed, the tramps
living in caves dug in Stag piles and
elsewhere, and the destitute people Of
all classes everywhere, to read in the
newspapers some of these headlines:
Banking Methods Tide Country
