UNTOwARD INCIDENTS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The rela-
tons between the newspapermen and
congressman in Washington, notwith-
standing the hard knocks which they
generally exchange with one another,
T usually of a most harmonious
character. During the past week,
however, this period of peace has been
broken by two incidents. In che case,
a southern congressman assaulted a
newspaperman, who he complained
had written adversely Of him. In
another case, a senator, also frcm a
southern state, has barred a home
state newspaperman from his office
on the ground that he did not like
the editorial comments on his activ-
tiles. In the case where assault was
committed, the congressman after.
wards offered an apology which tbs
newspaperman refused to accept. The
apology presumably was based on the
fact that while a congressman car

rules Of immunity, the newspaperma1

Civilian employees Of the war department we're
paid S59,O17, 582, which includes the Panama
canal expenditures, and civilian employees Of the
navy department were paid $76,OOO,OOO.
The steady increase in the federal governments
payroll is a matter that is furnishing much food
for thought on the part of taxpayers. Some al
ready are outspoken in their belief that Uncle
Sam is engaging in many enterprises that are
of doubtful value, and that represent an unwar-
-ranted activity in things with which it should
not be concerned.
What is termed "~paternalism'' on the part of
the federal government accounts fOr'much Of this
increase in the payroll. If the Constitution is
consulted, it will be found that it makes. no pro
vision for "paternalistic" activities. Indeed, they
are, it might be said, entirely opposed to the
spirit Of that immortal document.

FEDERAL EMPLOYEES

About one in every 200 of our populatiOn-men,
women, and children included-is working for
Uncle Sam on a regular full-time payroll.
On June 80, 1925, according to figures o
piled by the United States Civil Service COM
mission, there were 564,718 people on Uncle Sans
payroll. These, of course, are civilian employees
only. The number does not include enlisted men
in the army, navy, and marine corps.
The 564,718 were paid $814,566,58O in salaries
for the year ended June 80, 1925.
On the same date, of the 564,718 on the payroll,
$3.50 were employed in the District Of Columbia
and 5OO,962 outside. The postoffice department
accounts for more than half the payrol-$42O,-
967,O7S. No other department exceeds $780,
100000. They scale down from $8O,579,861 for
the treasury department to $4,755,O2O for the
department Of labor.
