STEWARD FLAYS
PENSION DATA

Charging the Bureau Of Eff
ficiency with trying to sabotage
the bill providing liberalized re.
tirement pay for Government en-
ployes. Luther G.. Steward, presi-
dent of the National Federation
of Federal employees today issued
statement flaying misrepresenta-
tons which have been placed be.
fore Congress leaders to delay the
bill.
Costs of retirement, he says.
have been exaggerated 10 times
over the highest possible figures
He stated further that his Or
ganization will not relent in any
respect its efforts to have Con.
gress consider the retirement legis-
lation before adjournment Of this
session.
LehIbach Out of Town
Steward, who says that the
statements of cost carried in morn.
origin, regards it as significant
that they were released while
Representative Lehlbach, chairman
of the House Civil Service Com.
rnittee and author of the retire
ards statement follows:
In view of the fact that Herbert
d. Brown and other actuariea
after continued prodding are on
the eve of submitting report with
estimates of cost of retirement, the
rtlmor as to the alleged excessfvel
expenditure bears the familiar ears
marks Of the Bureau of Efficiency's
past attempts to sabotage retire
ment.
Figures Off, He Says
Under no conceivable manipula.
ton of figures in any proposed re-
firement bill can it be shown that
the Federal Government will be
called upon to expend any such
sum as alleged.
The budget estimates for the
cost of retirement for the fiscal
year 1927 is $3.50 900, based on
the present law with an average
annuity of $544.64. Increasing the
maximum annuity to 81 200 under
terms Of proposed legislation in
wolves an increased expenditure of
32.4 per cent, according to state
ments from the retirement division
of the Pension Office.
This would increase the retire.
n1ent expenditures for the fiscal
year 1927 to the amount of $3.50
900, making a total of $10,3SO 900,
which sum it should be clearly
pointed out Is to be borne approx
mately half by the employees and
half by the Government.
Clerks Bearing Their Share
The lowest figures of cost cited
by Congressional leaders opposing
consideration of retirement was
Sis, 100000 for the first year.
Stewards statement continues:
while it is conceded Federal
employees are not bearing the full
cost of retirement, they are bear
ing very substantial share of it
and it is contemplated to increase
the proportion Of their contribution
40 per cent. AS partners in the
enterprise, they are entitled to an
even break. In providing for COM
pulsory retirement under the made
quate annuities of the existing law,
Congress is under obligation to fix
the rate Of annuities above starVa-
ton point. If on the Governments
end Of retirement partnership it is
the intention to WEIGH it would
be fairer If all retirement legisla-
ton were repealed,
1.-THE National Federation Of Fed
eral Employees as usual demands
facts and the friends of Federal
employees will not be frightened by
canards initiated by those who de-
sire to defeat any legislation in
the real interest Of Government
workers"

"HOT SHOTS"
(Written for The Mail)
BY "BOLSHEVIK" BILL

Since the ending of the World
war, we have been troubled with
the question of the League Of Ma
tions, or modification of it. We
have Seen Europe rent asunder by
opposing forces. Nations striving
against nations. We have seen con-
ference after conference assemble
and adjourn; some seemed to offer
surcease from the turmoil; some
offered none But with it all we
have seen an ever increasing hate
growing up amongst all the nations
of the other hemisphere against
our nation.
Gratitude for services rendered
in the war is forgotten. Recollec-
tions of friends formed on battle
fields are darkly overloaded. Eu-
rope now can only see that we are
a rich nation and they are poor.
They do not remember that it was
a European war, brought on by
European hatreds. We did not
rush into the conflict at the first
crack of rifles. We waited. 1t does
not now matter that our Knockout
punch did the work. That is for
gotten.

With Other
Editors
THEY DON'T USE THIN SPACES

The Kelly Printing company of
which Bill Kelly of Stafford, is pres
ident, now publishing the Graham
! Guardian at Stafford; the Copper
Era at Clifton; the Valley News at
Duncan, has bought up the Tomb
stone Epitaph at Tombstone from
the Giragi Brothers and added it to
his string of southern Arizona
weekly papers. Bill is now the Will
liam Randolph Hearst Kelly Of Ari-
zona, but he comes of newspaper
family and is working it both ways,
Major George H. Kelly, his father,
has worked all the way through
newspapers and the printing game
for more than fifty years; he is now
state historian and writing history
he helped make; Bill cut his teeth
on an old dried up ink roller and
when his son, Bill, Jr, arrived he
let him play with an ink fountain
and typewriter until it was i'm
possible to keep him out of the
hell box" Young Bill will endea-
vor to keep up the pace set by the
Giragi Brothers gang on the Epi-
taph. While the press called the
Kelly automatic feeder was not
named after this Kelly family, they
have fed on newspapers for three
generations so far, and young Bill
may make it four.
While we have always thought
well Of the Giragi Brothers gang,
until one of them down at Tomb
stone pulled a mean trick by NAM
ing an Apache papoose after us,
We hope this is not the real rea-
son for their selling out down there
and coming up here where we have
friends among the Indians Well,
regardless of all these past troubles
and the fact that the boys got a
bum start politically, we welcome
them up to the high places of Ari-
zOna, where men folks overlook the
shortcomings of those on lower
mental ground; great, vast, un-
developed country where words
count less than works. OF course,
this is true of all Arizona, but the
north needs men now-forward
looking men, men who can work
and wait. We believe the north
has gained a great force for good
by reason of these indefatigable
workers coming, coming to help
along the great development of the
north.-Coconino Sun
