there was In the civil sedvie retire- :

amount paid into the fund by en-
ployeS at the rate of 212 per cent
of their basis Bay, with interest COM
pounded annually. less the withdraw
ais and annuity payments.
1T is a common thing to hear the
statement made that this fund be-
longs to the retired employees ana
that the Government should permit
them to increase their annuities as
they may desire: that the Govern
ment is merely trustee for the fund
and that the Government has not so
far been called upon to pay anything
into the fund. etc. Nothing could be
further from the real facts.
Under the retirement law. every
dollar that an employo pays into
the fund Is returned to him in some
form with interest compounded an
nually. If the employe leaves the
service before reaching retirement
age. he may withdraw from the re-
tirement fund what he has paid in
plus the interest compounded. On
the other hand many OF the employees
reached the age of retirement and
began drawing annuities far in eX-
cess OF WHAT tHey nave ever pdiu
into the fund; in fact, some have been
on the retired list drawing annuities
who automatically went on when the
law became effective, and who have
never paid a dollar into the fuHd.
Therefore. it is obvious that all
amounts withdrawn from the fund by
annuitants above what they have
paid into the fund. must be paid by
the Federal Government.
'The cost of the present system of re-
tirement is said to be 3.S2 per cent of
the pay roll. OF this the employees

specified ages.
I'm the last session of Congress
hearings were had before the commit
tee on civil service and a bill was
unanimously reported TO the House.
The bill referred to was Senate bill
BOIL. The sentiment in both houses
seemed to be almost unanimous for
the passage of this legislation. On
January 26, 1925. the Secretary of the
Interior released to the public press
Il carefully prepared statement in
dorsing the legislation and stating
that he was authorized to state for
the members of the President cab
met that they favored an increase
in the annuities for retired employees.
and expressing the hope that such
Legislation would be passed by Con
gresS.
Notwithstanding this strong indorse-
ment. the steering committee of the
House would not allow the legislation
to be brought upon the floor for con.
sideration. Hence the SiXty.eighth
Congress passed into history without
affording the employees this much
needed relief.

Elaborate hearings We're conducted on

the committees have been ready to

WOODRUM SCORES
MEAGER ANNU|T|ES
Defeat Purpose of Retire.
ment Act, Says Member
of House Committee.

Declaring that 1.-The meagerness OF
the annuity defeats the real purpose
of the retirement act" Representative
Woodrum. Democrat, of Virginia. a
member of the subcommittee OF the
House civil service committee that
drafted the liberalized retirement bill,
which is ready to be reported to the
House and Senate as soon as the ac-
tuarial cost figures are submitted. says
that lit is for the best interests OF the
service" that this law should be
promptly enacted.
Reviewing the history of this legis-
lation, and discussing the provisions
of the forthcoming bill and it's legis-
lative status, Representative Wood
rum said:
Real Purpose of Act.
1.-The retirement system is not meant
to guarantee an employe against want
in his old age. 1t is not Il license to
him to go through the vigorous days
of his life making no Independent pro
vision for the future and relying upon
the Government TO entirely support
him. 1t was intended to he a help, an
incentive, and to encourage the em-
ploye to set aside regularly and sys-
tematically some amount, even though
it may be small, for those latter days.
when because of the infirmities of old
age, he must give up the active serv-
ice. There are those today who be-
lieve and do not hesitate to say that
the annuities under the retirement sys-
tenn should be sufficient to entirely
support the annutant With this
cannot agree.
1T is. however, agreed by all that
the annuities now being paid are ut
terly inadequate to carry out the pur-
pose and intention of Congress when
the system was instituted. Under the
existing law. the maximum annual
annuity is S720. In the recent report
of the Commissioner of Pensions it is
stated that as of June 80. 1925. there
were II $50 employees receiving an
nuities from the retirement fund. or
this number. only 4,145 receive the
maximum amount of S720 annually.
while the average annuity received
is $544.64 per annum.. 1t must be
borne in mind that the annuity rates
were not drawn with regard to living
conditions as they exist today. nor
with regard to the salaries of EN-
ployes as they are being paid today.
Defeats Purpose of Act.
1T is pointed out with great force
that the meagernesS of the annuity
defeats the real purposes or the TetlTe-
ment act. Small and Inadequate annul-
ties do not encourage or facilitate the
retirement of the superannuated to
the full degree possible. On the con-
trary the employe reaching the age
of retirement and knowing that he is
face to face with annuities that are
insufficient to enable him to eke out a
living naturally will exert every pos
sible means at hand to remain in the
service. Therefore, it has been demon
strated to the entire satisfaction of the
committee on civil service of the
House that it is for the best interest
of the service that law be passed
liberalizing the terms of the act of

REPORT EXPECTED soon.

partment, in a statement regard
ing the calculations on the civil
service retirement fund now being

George r. Buck of the board had
promised to submit the report to
him by 1.-The last of March, and
that it would be promptly transmit

fusion regarding the status" of the
retirement fund, Secretary Work
