his part strengthens his loyalty and
more truly makes him a part of his
Government.
Business firms and great corpora
tionS recognize the economic value
of a retirement system. In Govern
ment even more than in private in
dustry, a retirement system, just
alike to the Government and to the
employee, is in the interest of econo-
my and efficiency. In private bust
ness there is no necessary coddling
of the employee in a human desire to
provide for his old age and to re-
ward long service Pensions are in
tended rather to stimulate the good
will and effort of the active force,
to reduce labor turnover, to further
disciplinary control, to give stability
in addition to the days labor.
while these reasons also apply
in degree to the civil service, yet
there is the human side of the equa-
ton that might be taken into con-
sideration. Has not the Federal en-
ploye given the very best years of his
life to his Government? 1t is his duty,
of course, and he is paid for it in a
measure; but is he not apt to work
the harder and more efficiently if he
knows that after years of loyad serv-
ice he will be in a position where he
will be able to care for himself and
his family after his ability to serve
is exhausted, or he is too old to enter
the field of competition for liveli

salary received by the employe dur
ing 10 years of allowable service next
preceding the date of retirement, not
exceeding 81 500 per annum, multiplied
by the total number of years of the
employees service not in excess of 30.
The maximum annuity payable is
81 900.
About $4,000 employees are now
drawing civil service retirement pay,
the maximum annuity under the pres
ent law being $1,000. A financial
statement of the fund shows:

Mr.. Hudson protests that "the OBJ
Ject of this resolution is absolutely
not to secure a higher rate of pay"
He emphasizes that 'its object is to
study methods by which the Govern
ment is to meet it's share of the re-
sponsibility and other administrative
problems"
Records Are Cited.
AS the records show, the Govern
ment's liability up to June 80, 1926,
was about $31 1878, 471.27 The number
of Federal employees, according to the
annual report of the board of actu-
aries as of January 4, 1927 was $685.
654 with total payroll of $777 042,-
ia. The total number of annuitants
was 1854 with a payroll of $685.
100.
Mr. Hudson explains that tabula-
tons show that contribution equiva-
lent to So per cent of pay roll would
be sufficient to support the plan. The
employees contribute 3.5 per cent,
which may be considered as an offset
against the normal contribution rate.
This leaves a total contribution of "a
per cent of the pay roll to be met by
the Government, of which 0.48 per
cent is the normal rate and 1.92 per
cent is the deficiency rate.
There seems to be the general i'm
preston among members of Congress
that the retirement of Government

employees is matter of generosity on
the part of the Government. Few out
side of those on the civil service COM
mittee realize the magnitude of the
proposition Affecting the welfare of
the great numb&r of employees, total
ing ,654, with & total pay roll of
$777 ,042 ,314. 1t is Not a matter Of
generosity at all; the bj>Iic principle is
a purely economic principle. The
United States Government today with
it's retirement law is not giving it's
employees anything. but it is making
money on the system,
Explaining this, Mr.. Hudson said:
ut is not costing the Government to-
day half as much to pay the retire
ment pay as it would tp keep these
old .superannuated employees in the
SERVICE at the rate of Compensation
they were receiving. This does not
apply perhaps so much IT the present
time as a few years back. 1t is purRly
an economic matter, an foreign gov
ernments have recogni led it to such
an extent that they do not even ask
their employees to contribute any
thing.
Loyalty Strengthened.
81 do not feel that the Government
should pay the entire annuity. The
Federal employee is willing to con-
tribute his share toward such fund
and takes an interest in so doing,

Such a commission could secure
much valuable information from
Erance. Germany and Italy, which
countries have retirement systems
which have worked out satisfactorily
for wears, It might also be OF value
to make a study of the various re-

tions and companies which have mann
tanned for years an efficient and ade-
ouate system of retirement for their
employees.
Many Fields Open.
In fact, there are many nelds
through which a COMPREHENSIVE Sluuy

and a vast amount of information 10
be obtained which would enable Con-
gress to handle the matters affecting
retirement in an understanding and
competent manner, whereas they are
now handicapped by lack Of facts.
Through the creation OF Such a
commission much information or
value would result, and the Govern
ment would be placed in position to
enact legislation with a thorough un.
derstanding of the whole subject, and
the ultimate results accruing there
from as to it's own liabilities and the
benefits conferred.

Hudson Gives Explanation.

Mr.. Hudson explains that:
THE obligations of the Government
have not been known, nor has any
legislation been set up to meet the
Governments obligation in the mat
ter of retirement, which obligation is
constantly mounting, owing to the
fact that no provision is made.
THE calculations made by the board
OF actuaries indicate that approx
mately 1888 per cent of the pay roll Is
required annually as a normal contrt-
button If benefits be continued at their
present rate and If a fund Is to be &C.
cumulated during the active service OF
employees which will be adequate at
the time when they retire to provide
their benefits. Since new employees
entering the active service pay 3.5 per
cent OF their salaries, they contribute
approximately SO per cent of the nor
y.saI cost of their benefits. The normal
tAte of 1893 per cent is the rule appli-
cable 10 the average new employe, II
new employees enter at the average en-
trance age at which the present active
force entered and the present occupa-
tional distribution of employees con-
finues. The cost of benefits for indi-
yidual entrants varies according to
the employees age at entrance.
Employees in service at the time of
the establishment of the fund have
been given credit for their past years
of service. For this reason contribu-
tfons at the normal rate will not be
sufficient to provide benefits for the
present employees. Furthermore, the
full normal contributions have not
been made since the fund was estab-
lrhed, and the amount of the contribu-
tions to be made up in the future has
increased on this account.
