restricts the ability of an Army officer
to hold extra positions. reads as follows
mo person who holds an Office, the
salary or annual compensation attached
to which amounts to the sum of So, 500,
shall be appointed to or hold any other
Office to which compensation Is at
tached, unless specifically authorized
thereto by law; but this shall not apply
to retired officers of the Army or Navy
whenever they may be elected to public
office or whenever the President shall
appoint them to office by and with the
advice and consent Of the Senate,
Retired enlisted men of the Army
Navy, Marine Corps or Coast Guard
retired for any cause, and retired off,
GERS of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps
or Coast Guard who have been retired
for injuries received in battle or for
injuries or incapacity incurred in line
of duty, shall not, within the meaning
of this section, be construed to hold or
to have held an Office during such re-
tirement."
1t was under this law that a decision
of the controller general of the United
States held some time ago that retired
Army officer, Col. Asa B. Gardner, could
not be paid for lectures at the Navy
War College at Newport, r. I. He fell
within the restriction of an Army CT
ficer, retired, who would thereby have
received more than the maximum of
$4,000 altogether.
Congress sometimes passes special
acts to take care of Army officers ap-
pointed to special jobs. One of these
instances was that of Mai Wallace w.
Kirby of the United States Army, who
was made director of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing and taken from
the active list of the Army to do so.
The case of Gen. Lord, who was re-
stricted to the total of $4,000 per year,
also applies to any of his successors in
office. A special act of Congress makes
this provision in the case of an Army
officer who is the director of the
Bureau of the Budget.
Another outstanding Army officer
who is now in the service of his Gov
eminent In a civilian position Is Gen.
Frank T. Hines. now director or the
United States Veterans Bureau. Gen.
Hines resigned from the Army and new
is receiving the regular salary of the
director of the Veterans Bureau.
$4,000.
Gen. Mason M. Patrick, former chief
Of the Army Air Service, now is serving
on the Public Utilities Commission Of
the District of Columbia. AS a retired
Army officer, however, appointed by the
President and confirmed by the Senate.
he is understood to be drawing his re-
tirement pay from the Army and his
full pay as member of the Public
Utilities Commission.
