Measure Paving Way for
Mann'S Dismissal Also
Approved.

Way for dismissal of Charles w
Mann, Republican highway super
intendent of Marion county, whom
Democratic officials have been at
tempting to GUST for two years, was
paved Friday when the house of
representatives passed two senate
bills.
One bill repeats the present law
creating the office of county high
way superintendent. The other per-
mits county commissioners to trans
fer the highway superintendent
duties to the county surveyor, allow
ing from So to So a mile for super
vision.
The old age pension bill, embody-
ing a Democratic platform pledge,
passed the house Friday by vote
of 81 to 5 in lengthy session de-
voted to detailed explanation of the
purposes Of the bill.
Tobacco Tax Considered
Persons more than 70 without
other sources of income would re-
ceive a pension of SIS month I'M
der it's terms. Half Of the expense
would be borne by the county and
half would be paid from the state
general fund with discretionary
powers as to eligibility for pensions
vested ~ the county commissioners.
Originally, a cigaret and tobacco
tax was considered as a means for
raising funds for carrying out the
act, but this provision was stricken
out because the administration con-
templates a gross receipts or sales
tax.
The five representatives who
voted against the bill included Fred
Goddard (Rushville) and Justin A.
Roberts (Noblesville). Republicans,
and Fabius Gwin (Shoals) Edward
G. Simpson (Rockport) and Lewis
P. UrSchel North Manchester
Democrats.
Backed by Eagles
The old-age pension plan, backed
by the Fraternal Order of Eagles,
cOntemplates the eventual abolition
of county poor farms with incompe-
tent poor lodged in four state in
frmaries. No mention of this in
tention is included in the bill.

was signed Friday by Governor Paul
V. McNutt.

STATE VIEWS

Several State federations OF
Federal employees have recently
held meetings in preparation for
the national convention to be
held in Kansas City this fall.
Resolutions drawn up at these
meetings will be presented at the
convention.
Arizona Federal employees, much
concerned about the quarters,
subsistence and laundry rulings,
were pleased to know that the
National Federation of Federal
Employees plans to make a fight
against the practice of charging
what the traffic will bear" in
assessments under those headings.
An important resolution there
urged Government construction
of power lines, and sale to con-
sumerS.
The Washington State Fedora
tion adopted a resolution that re-
tirement provisions include Ia
borers in the Federal service.
The Oklahoma State Federation
adopted numerous resolutions
looking toward preservation of the
civil service from spoilsmen, and
one favoring optional retirement.
The Maryland Federation went
on record as favoring an optional
right for Federal employees to de-
poSit additional sums of money
in the retirement fund, in order
to purchase increased annuities.

IN STAFF.
WILL FOLLOW
SAME PLAN
Married Persons Clause and
3O-Year Retirement Will
Be First Invoked

Main currents of Federal policy
in effecting diSmissals OF employees
have come to light during the past
week, and on the whole the pic
ture now presented is reassurtng
to the great bulk Of Federal en-
ployes.
Married persons whose husbands
or wives are in the Government
service must elect which job the
family will retain, for the dis
missal Of married persons IS man
datory under the law, to the ex-
tent that one Of each pair must
go.
A House committee has been col
lecting material to determine how
many married couples are work
ing for Uncle Sam. Thus far re-
turns have been received from
several departments, but they are
by no means complete. 1t was
said at the committee headquar-
tiers that it would not be possible
yet to estimate the total number
of couples.
3O-Year Group Next
The difficulties are obvious, in
asmuch as few married couples
are employed in the same offices
or even in the same departments.
Until some idea of the total can
be obtained, there is no means OF
telling what relief this will afford
the pay rolls.
Next in line come the 30-year
employees. Despite considerable
opposition, they lost out in their
battle to retain their status, for
President Roosevelt's executive
order reducing longevity credits
will pave the way for elimination
Of many. Inasmuch as they will
receive annuities Of $1,000 a year
or slightly less, they will fare
better than younger employees who
would be released without any
resources whatsoever.
The number of employees eligible
to 30-year retirement, according
to a recent tabulation, was 4,144,
for the service in Washington.
Leave Jobs Vacant
Another general policy will be
to leave vacant jobs that are
vacated through death or other
forms of separation other than
involuntary retirement.
Through these three methods
elimination of one Of each pair
of married persons, compulsory
retirement of the less efficient
3O-year employees, and separations
due to death and other normal
causes-a large reduction can be
made in pay rolls, it is expected.
Such others as may be dismissed
will be removed either because the
work for which they have been
engaged is eliminated, or on the
basis of their own efficiency
ratings.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission, Departments of Com
merce, Agriculture and Interior,
and a few other agencies will
have to undergo still sharper re-
ductions in staff.
Sort Of a Break
These are the very departments
and offices, however, whose en-
ployes can best be absorbed by
new units now growing up in the
Federal establishment. It is also
evident that a large number of
these employees, particularly in
the clerical grades, will be placed.
Purely political appointees Of
the Hoover regime will be re-
placed by loyal Democrats, but for
the routine work Civil Service
employees will be utilized to a
considerable extent.

Jeff Creager, Broadway
Producer, to Use Local
Talent in Show.

THE lovely age of woman is be-
tween II and 20 years" said Flo
ziegfeld, producer of the famous
'Follies." Younger than that they
are too childish! Older they usual
ly are too sophisticated"
jeff Creager, who is here to pro-
duce the indianapolis Follies of
1888" at the Granada theater for
three days, starting Sunday, July 16,
thinks Ziegfeld's limit little to
stringent. He believes Is isn't
too low, and he does not commit
himself on the high limit
Parents of city girls are extended
cordial invitation to attend all
rehearsals, that they may act as
chaperons, and watch their girls
and boys, as Creager's magic touch
transforms them into the Semblance
of Broadway revue stars.
Then, during the run of the revue
at the Granada, try to recognize
their youngsters in the beautiful in
vesture of the Granada stage set,
for the Indianapolis Follies of
1888"
The Granada theater is giving the
youth of this community this chance
of testing out their abilities under
a director of recognized ability,
trained to recognize talent at sight.
Singers, dancers, musicians, those
with talent of any nature, can join,
get weeks intensive training at
no cost to themselves, and play in
a showhouse, just as though they
were on Broadway
Any one who can walk and carry a
tune, can join, and Creager will
make a celebrity out of them
locally, at least AS the show is to
find talent no one is expected to
have experience. One hundred girls
are needed for the various ensemble
numbers, and each has a chance of
making a name for herself.
elf-consciousness and timidity
before an audience will be among
the amateur bogies Creager will put
to flight.
The show that Creager puts on
does not smack of the amateur, but
has all the earmarks of the profess
sional.
