HAYS PENSION PLAN
FOR CLERGY WINS
Presbyterian Assembly Adopts
S15,oOO,000 Scheme for
Care of 10000.

Grand Rapids, Mich.-Wili H. Hays
pension plan for the Presbyterian cler~
gy, which will require an initial fund
of 100000 to put in operation and
will affect 10000 ministers of the
church, was adopted by the General
Assembly in session here.
The plan was worked out by Mr..
Hays with the collaboration of lay
man committee appointed by the Gem
eral Assembly at its meeting at Indian
given the approval of the Board OF
Ministerial Relief and Sustentation be-
fore it came before the Assembly here.
1t is proposed that when any Pres
byterian Church pays it's pastor his
salary it will send to the Board of
Pensions sum equal to IA per cent
Ct that salary. The minister himself
is expected to send to the Board OF
Pensions 21s per cent. Worked out
on actuarial principles. these pay
ments should be enough to provide at
the age Of sixty-five sum sufficient
to pay the minister an annuity equal
to half his average salary while in ac-
tive work.
1t is proposed that clergymen all
ready past sixty-five will begin to ie-
ceive the minimum pension immedi-
ately upon acceptance Of the plan.
Those who are sixty-four years old
Or less will be eligible for pensions
based on their average salaries, with
out any other payments than the
regular annual percentage that would
have been due If they had been pay
ing from the time of entering the
ministry. 1t is, for the purpose OF
putting the plan into immediate effect,
in these cases, that the fund OF
$15,00O,O00 is necessary, according to
the report of the committee.

been made elsewhere, but not in the

historical endeavor in this line was
when the pope OF Rome issued a bull
against the appearance OF Haley's

with mathematical accuracy, that the
comet would appear, His Holiness
consigned them to the internal re-

amonog the electorate to believe that
this is perhaps good time to rebuke
the old parties, that blow struck
now may teach a good lesson. These
ideas, right or wrong, are appealing
strongly to the Independent woman

That there is much truth in the
didates as regards the methods and
policies of the old parties cannot be
disputed. The corrupt practices of
the machine politicians are only too
we'll known, and these are not con-
fined to one party.
Thus the important questions that
the organized women of the country
are considering seriously are: Is
the time ripe for a blow to be struck
Will this action prove to be a prac-
tical one? Is it the wiser policy to
smash at a blow the old political ma
chimes or to get into the parties and
work for refrom from the inside?
The woman voter who has for years
been non-partican in thought and
action and has been acoustic omed to
decide questions through her coop
erative club method must now

solve her own problem.

This task occupied many months of

Then, in 1909, Mr.. Durant was ap-
pointed director of the United States
Census. to succeed S. N. D. North, be-
cause of his recognized equipment for
the work of taking the 1910 census.
That post he held for four years,
with 1000 employees in his Office and
10000 in the field. For four years he
was out of the United States Govern
ment service as professor Of statis-
tics and agricultural economics in the
University Of Minnesota
But the World War brought him
back to give Uncle Sam the benefit
of his special talents and training.
He tiled up" with Herbert Hoover in
the United States Food Administra-
ton, and because of his superior ad-
ministrative ability and initiative he
was employed for the most part in
Europe. So highly did Mr.. Hoover
value Durand that he designated him
to go to Poland in the period after
the war as adviser to the food min
istry of that country, when they were
having extreme difficulty in feeding
the people. Mr.. Durands work was
not at all in the nature of getting

France Is Nearing the End
OF Task of Reconstruction

Reconstruction work in the ten de-
partments Of France commonly al
luded to as the devastated area" of
the war, If continued at the present
rate, will be 100 per cent completed
before the close Of the year 1925.
More than 80. per cent OF the devas-
tated area OF France had been re-
stored to its former condition by
July of this year. Eighty per cent of
the houses destroyed during the war
had been rebuilt, 80 per cent Of the
damaged canals had been recon-
structed, 80 per cent of the trenches
used by the troops of both armies had
been filled in and 8S per cent of the
damaged factories had been put in
operation.
These figures, made public by the
authorities in France, express in a
concrete way, according to the De-
partment Of Commerce, the vast
strides made by the French, in re-
habilitating the areas ravaged by the
war. They are the first definite fig
ures showing the rapidity OF recon-
struction work and its progressive

spent two years in the most intimate
association with the rulers Of Poland
and was of incalculable aid to them
during the reconstruction period. He
considers this as probab bly, the most
interesting experience of his career.
1t was because of the intimate
knowledge he gained while travelling
all over eastern Europe during and
after the war that Secretary Hoover
chose Mr.. Durand to head up the
Eastern European Division of the Bu-
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce when he put through his ia
nous reorganization Of the Depart
ment of Commerce, insisted upon by
Mr.. Hoover before he would accept a
cabinet position
But while for many years Durand
had been proving himself an excep-
tionally good administrator in posi-
tions of great responsibility, always
he has been interested primarily in
the scientific aspect of statistics. and
just as soon as he could persuade Sec
retary Hoover to release him for such
work he took charge of the Statistical
Research Division.
For more than 20 years the late
Edward Whitney had been compiling
