DAUGHERTY HITS
FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
20 PER CENT DRAW PENSIONS
UNDER CLASSIFIED SERVICE
ILLEGALLY, SAYS ATIOR-
NEY GENERAL.

Washington, ID. c., March TO-
Approximately 20 per cent of the
government employees in the classi-
fled civil service are barred from
pension benefits of the retirement
act under an opinion by Attorney
General Daugherty transmitted TO
Secretary of the Interior Fall, who
administers the act. Secretary Fail
estimated today that $4,000 employ
es were affected and that out of g.
600 who had retired under the act
four-fifths, or 6,400 employees, have
been drawing their pensions illeg-
ally, under the opinion.
The attorney general ruled, ac-
cording to a review of the opinion
submitted to Secretary Fall by the
solicitor of the interior department,
that only those employees who held
their positions as the result of COM
petitive examinations were entitled
to the benefits of the retirement act.
Thus, Secretary Fall said, all those
employees who entered the classified
service as the result of presidential
order without such examination, to
the number of $4,000, were exclud-
ed.
The attorney general held further
that, while the president by execu-
tive order might include within the
classified service particular position
and classes, such an order would not
embrace persons who hold particular
positions except upon competitive ex.
animation.
In his reveiew of the opinion the
solicitor of the interior department
said that Sc per cent of the employ
es who. having reached the retire
ment age. were retained in active ser
vice for two-year periods under au
thority of the act because of special
value to the government, did not en-
ter the service through competition
and would be excluded from the ben
efits. These, he declared, had, witt
all others barred by the opinion
been contributing 2 IL per cent o
their monthly pay to the pension
fund as required by the act.
Asserting that approximately g.,
400 employees who had retired hav'
been receiving pensions illegally, tn
solicitor said that unless congress
enacted legislation for their relic
there was no way for their pay t
continue.

PREPARING NEW
HIGHWAY NJ A P
WILL SHOW HIGHWAYS IN EV-
ERY SECTION OF THE
STATE.

Pierre, March 10.-The state high
prehensive highway map of the state,
on which will be designated the
principal highways, by colored lines.
graveled highways being marked
with broad red line; graded fed
eral aid roads will be shown by two
narrow red lines; graded state aid
roads will be designated with one
narrow red line, and unimproved
roads with a line of red dashes.
1t is planned to give each fo the
principal highways of the state a
designated number those running
east and west being given even num-
bers and those running north and
south being given odd numbers.
The highway commission will
mark all official highways with iron
posts carrying the number of the
trail. The top of the post will be
painted white, with narrow black
band below and the numbers of the
trail will be so designated that there
can be no question as to just what
they are.
These markers will be of six-inch
iron pipe, of which the highway de-
partment has large supply, which
was donated by the federal govern
ment
The official colors of the highway
will be allowed to be placed on these
posts, but below the colors given by
the highway commissionn. The posts
are to be set at intervals of miie
apart, except in cases where 1t is
necessary to set them closer to des-
| ignate a turn, in which case they viii
be close enough to show the detour
and the direction it takes.
This map will be out soon, and
will be sold at small price to re-
pay the cost of getting it out Ii will
be a record of every highway in the
state and will give the auto traveller
an idea of what kind of a road he car
expect wherever he may desire tt
| travel within the state.

PAT STAND ON
BONUS BILL
COMMITTEES MAJORITY Is UN-
RECEPTIVE TO CHANGE.

Washington, ID. c., March 10
After weeks of work and worry, the
house ways and means committee
majority has evolved soldiers bon
us bill on which it apparently intends
to stand pat.
Despite some criticism of the
measure in and out of congress,
Chairman Fordney and his co-owork-
ers believe it will encounter only
comparatively feeble opposition in
the house.
Just what will happen to it in the
senate appears at this time to be
more or less problematical. There the
measure will be open to amendment
and also to unlimited debate, and it
is regarded as more tnan probable
that it will be subjected to change
in some important particulars.
Since President Harding advised
the house committee to pay the
bonus with a sales tax or postpone
the legislation, it is expected that
sales tax proponents in the senate
will renew their fight for that kind
of a levy.
Among house members, generally,
there was more discussion today as
to how the president viewed the bill
than there was about its probable
fate after it left the house for its
second start for the statute books.
Framers of the measure appeared tn
be fairly confident that ii would not
meet with the executives disapproy-
al because it removed what they
said was the fundamental objection
to the cash bonus pTan-an imme-
date drain~on the federal treasury
Some oponents of the measure in
the house predicted that the bill
will be unsatisfactory to both the
country and the service men. They
contended that it would not enable
the men to get as much cash in three
years as they would receive under
the original cash plans and that the
proposed advance by the banks, i
made. would initiate credits to the
extent of $500, 10000, 900 or more ov
er the period of the bank loans, thus
increasing living costs.
The time of the calling up of the
bill in the house will not be definite
ly fixed until Chairman Fordney re
turns to Washington from trip II
the middle west, on which he start
ed yesterday.

Less Work On
Roads Planned

Yankton. March 10.-While there
will not be as much road work done
in South Dakota this summer as
last, the state is planning enough so
that it may secure it's share of the
federal aid money" said State High
war Engineer F. ID. Hudgins, of
Pierre, who was in the city looking
over the plans and specifications for
the Meridian Highway and conferr-
ing with County Highway Engineer
H. H. Corbin and the county commits
sion regarding the elimination of the
job in the road around the hill just
north of Beaver creek. Yankton
county is getting as early start on
its state and federal aid job as any
other county in the state.

Blame Courts For
Wave Of Crime

Mitchell, March 10.-Superintend-
ent Dawes, of the South Dakota An
ti-Saloon league, was recently asked
What is your opinion or the crime
wave that is sweeping over the coun
try?" He replied: "If you mean by
this question the crimes that are be-
ing committed, as of theft, murder
and violations of the liquor laws,
would say that these are but symp-
toms of a cause.
when our courts inflict light
fines and short jail sentences, then
suspend the greater part of these.
the criminal is encouraged in his
wrong doing and the public knows
that the Judge is not keeping his oath
of office when he swore to enforce
the law"

st. Augustine, Florida, March 10.
The proposed bonus legislation
