Civil Service Amendment

After the continuance provision Of
the retirement act of May %, 1920,
had been in force for six years, the
committee on civil service in the
House Of Representatives submitted
TO the House a proposed amendment
to the retirement act, the accompany
ing report saying, in part:
I'm various branches OF the Gov
ernment at various times there was
apparent purpose to compel retire
ment upon arrival at the age limit by
Withholding efficiency certificates, re-
gardless Of the ability OF the applicant
effectively to continue his work. The
bill proposes to remedy this situation
by compelling the retention after he.
tirement age Of willing employees when
their complete efficiency has been
demonstrated by a prescibed proceed
ure. The importance Of this feature Of
the bill in reducing the cost OF the
retirement system should not be un-
derestimated The cost of an annuity
drops materially in each succeeding
year toward the close of life and this
lessened cost is enhanced by the con.
tinued contribution Of the employe. ."
The proposed amendment was em-
bodied in section of the act of July
g. 1926.
Evening star., 1927-04-06

it's opinion that retirements would be
aided lf this maximum were increased
as originally proposed to 1.200 per
annum It Is believed that this I'M
crease would not create an undue lid-
hility on the part OF the Government,
Favors Graded Benefits.
The board Of actuaries recommends
In it's most recent report that the
benefits be graded so that employees
with longer periods of service and
longer periods of contribution will re-
ceive greater benefits than those with
less service and who have contributed
less The act discrininates against
employees of the higher grades and
with the longest service. 1t bases
annuity on 10-vear salary average,
not to exceed st 500, and years of ser
vice not to exceed 80. An employe
at $500 per annum pays $3.50 OF II
for retirement, and an emploYe q
So 900 pays twice that much and gets
no more annuity than the other. An
employe who contributes for 80 Teals
Of service pays SO 1-3 per cent more
into the retirement fund than one
who contributes for 80 years, the sal
aries being equal, for which addi-
tional 80 1-3 per cent he gets nothing
in annuity He also fails to get any
credit for his last 10 years of service.
The retirement committee reported
last night that it feels that ultimately
the system should provide an annuity
which should bear a just relation 10
the amount of contributions and the
years of service.
Evening star., 1927-04-06
Urges just Annuity.

The committee report emphasized
that ultimately the system should
provide an annuity which should bear
a just relation to the amount of CON
tributions and the years of service"
The committee also concuITed with
the board of actuaries in urging that
the ages for retirement be adjusted so
that the wide variation which now
exists will be reduced to only such
difference as may be justified by
actual difference in the service re-
quirements and the length of life of
employees of the various occupational
groups.
The testimony OF officials concerned
in the administration of the retire
ment system has been uniformly
highly unfavorable as to general re-
suits, the committee reported This
has tended to relieve the service Of
superannuation, permitted deserved
promotions, and far more work is
being done with fewer employees.

Den0unces ApOlogists.

Col MacNider declared that every
foreign suggestion for the conduct of
world affairs which the United States
does not Immediately adopt "chases
hundreds of native born agitators to
the platforms of our schools and clubs
to denounce American policy.
"The popular attitude on the public
platform now is to apologize Tor
America and all things American" he
said. 1--WE are overrun with organi-
cations of native internationalists
whose favorite sport is to hold us and
our international dealings up to scorn
and derision. They are in constant
state of amazement that we should
want to abide by the faith Of our fa'
theirs.
'If we were to believe them we
would be hard and sordid people in
deed II would be easier to persuade
us of our shortcomings if we did not
find the very peoples they hold up to
us as good examples clamoring at our
doors for admission as Americans.
The immigrant seems willing to take
his chance with citizenship which
these American-born agitators Of ours
do not seem to value. Perhaps some
mutually agreeable exchanges could
be effected.

Motions of Four Years Ago.

Nearly four years ago this club
adopted motions that:
The members of the club as adj
ministrative officers should seek to
have the retirement laws of the
United States, as applicable to civil
employees, amended so as to raise the
maximum annuity from 1920 TO at
least 1920 per annum. but not in
excess of 20 per cent of the average
salary of the annuitant for the last
10 years.
The members would seek also the
passage of amendments so that all in
excess of 81 800 OF an employees salary
shall be exempt from the deduction
Of 2i2 per cent for the retirement
fund until such time as the maximum
retirement pay has been increased to
an amount in excess of 81 200 a year.
Persons of 20 years of age who are
physically and mentally competent TO
perform their duties should be re-
tanned in the Government service and

minlstrative positions should so recon-

Native born agitators and "apolo-

were denounced by col. Hanford Mac
Eider, Acting Secretary Of War to-
day in addressing the student body
of the University of Maryland, at Col
lege Park. on the tenth anniversary
Of Americas s participation in the
World War
Certain types of internationalists
continually cry out that those who
are responsible for carrying out the
national defense act and who are
struggling to build the balanced pro-
gram for which it calls. are endeavor-
ing to militarize the Nation, to throw
it into war" Col. MacNider declared.
"Our Army is the smallest in the
world. Let them go to work reducing
somewhere else. if they must. Let
them worry about some of those
countries that start wars-that in
dictment cannot be placed against
America. All thoughtful men and
women look forward to the day when
war can be outlawed America is do
ing her part. she has set the out
standing example in disarmament
but she can go little further until
there is shown an honest and corre-
spending disposition on the part OF
the rest of the world.

The only license he ever had was that Of q motorcycle operator. he said, and about five years ago he was arrested in New Britain because he had a motorcycle with q sidcCar improperly registered.
 Judge SaTe imposed a fine of S10 and costs on the charge of driving without license, which amounted 10 considerably more than the cost Of the license he could not afford.
