PLANS To- BUCK
NJ CARL PAY
RULE

The breach between the Personnel
Classified alton Board and Compt. Gen.
J. f. McCarl widened today when it
became known that the personnel
board will ignore McCarl's ruling on
the WEIGH pay act unless he modi-
flies it.
The personnel board holds that
McCarl exceeded his authority when
he attempted to classify employees in
grades of the professional and IL
of the clerical services into grades
5 and -. respectively.
McCarl contends that he was
merely interpreting the law as it
was written and exercised no dis
cretionary power.
The personnel board realizes that
McCarl has the final say in matters
OF this kind, hut it intends to do
what it believes 10 he its duty and
classify the employees as it believes
they should be classified and let Nc
Carl exercise his power to overrule.
The controversy revolves around
McCarls Interpretation of the law
in respect TO employees in the higher
grades Of the professional and cleri-
ca services.
McCari ruled that all employees OF
grades and II should go into grades
and IL and that employees of
grades j. 6, and of the professional.
and 70 13 and IA Of the clerical ser
vices should he advanced either one
or two grades to the new grade in
which the administrative head be-
Iieves they belong.
In all of this part of his decision
the personnel board believes he ex-
ceeded his authority. The board has
filed a protest with McCarl and Is
now waiting for his reply. If he re-
leEts everything will be over.
But il he holds to his initial de.
Cision the board plans 70 classify the
employees in these grades as it he
lieNes they should be classified and
let McCarl take the responsibility for
changing the aIloca tons.
The personnel board will classify
some of the employees now in grades
and into the new grades / and
II instead Of and L. respectively,
az McCarl says they should he.
Grades 4 and II will have pay
range from $4,000 to $1,000. Grades

were respectively 1878 and 26.5 per
cent of the total. The proportion of
the total contributed by receipts from
sales of butterfat has increased from
15.1 per cent to 23.5 per cent. The
most important shifts in sources of
income occur in the above commodi-
ties. Each of the other commodities
contributes less than ten per cent of
the total cash income, and shows only
minor changes in the relative amount
of cash income furnished during the
period. Sales of cattle have increased
during recent years and now contrib
ute 9.S per cent of the total income.
The two principal sources of income
now are hogs and butterfat. These
two commodities alone furnished half
of the total cash income in 1925-2G
and 1927. Cattle sales are now more
important than wheat sales, whereas
in 1910-11-12 wheat sales were four
times as important as cattle sales.
There is clear indication that Mime
sofa farmers are depending more upon
sales of livestock and livestock prod
ucts and less upon sales of cash grain
crops.

The first P. T. A. meeting. of the
year was held Friday evening in the
Askov public school building, when
numerous parents, teachers, and

ence, of two songs in the opening mo-
ments of the program, the Junior girls

der by the president, L. c. Petersen,
