SAAR PLEBISCITE
VOTING IS STARTED
5000 Public Employees Cast Bal
lots-Postponement Now
Not Likely.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAARBRUEKEN, Saar Basin Terri
tory. January 7.-Voting began today
in the history-making Saar plebiscite,
ordered Is years ago at Versailles.
Five thousand public employees cast
their ballots in dress rehearsal" of
the mass voting next Sunday.
They were allowed to vote early be-
cause they must work on the regular
election day.
Only minor disturbances were re-
ported in yesterdays huge windup
mass meetings. This was interpreted
as brillian victory for the Plebiscite
Commission, which permitted the rival
factions to demonstrate without seri-
Gus clashes.
For this reason the possibility Of a
postponement of the vote, considered
Saturday because of fears of Sunday
disorders, presumably was abandoned.
Polling places nevertheless were
heavily guarded. Efforts to break
through the lines to see the inner
mechanism Of the plebiscite were
fruitless.
The first ballots will be guarded in
safes and mixed with final votes for
counting one week from today. Thus
the vote gave no indication of which
way the wind is blowing, although a
majority of the public servants are
regarded as Nazis.
Polls were opened at $50 am. g
am, Eastern Standard Time) for the
civil workers, most of whom must
work next Sunday.
Some 5000 more burgomasters,
street car conductors, policemen,
stenographers and track walkers will
vote tomorrow in the dress rehearsal"
for next Sundays mass event. Voting
will continue in prisons and hospitals
until Wednesday night.
Ofdcials made the rounds Of hos
pitals with a miniature ballot box,
placing especially designed booths
around sick beds. The boxes will be
brought to Saarbruecken tomorrow
night in armored cars.
Sufficient ballots for two days were
"smuggled" into the territory yester-
day. They had been printed abroad
with the greatest secrecy in order to
prevent fraud and theft.

thing they cannot now see. Later,
when they begin to see Mr.. Roosevelt
move, they will probably find it diff
cult to hit target which can shift so
degrees in either direction.
Practical politicians and statesmen
are already marveling among them
selves at the cleverness of it. They
wonder that no one thought of it be-
fore.
Board Does Some Figuring.
You will not find it among the pub
lished figures of the ational Re-
sources Board, but the board has q
definite breakdown on its 10-year pro-
gram expenditures as follows: Federal
public works. 3.5 billions; State pub
lie works. 81 billions; city public
works, 7.6 billions; county public
works. 300 millions, and low-cost
housing, 500 millions. 1t makes 21.5
billion dollars in all. OF course, the
Federal Government would have to
lend most if not all of the money, be-
cause the States, counties and cities
are in extremely bad financial condi-
ton generally.
Some people grumbled because the
President did not mention the 18 or
19 millions on relief. but grouped them
as five million heads Of families. The
flve-million figures Is correct, and
from the New Deal standpoint, it
sounds better. The accepted method
is to figure one head Of family for
every four persons on relief.

Sum Might Be Scorned.

Cynical-minded persons might op-
pose such appropriations as $500,000
as being too trivial, relatively speak
ing, and they might argue that the
real campaign chest Is the billions
spent nowadays for various projects
that make votes and cause Democratic
officials, for example, to boast as
they did in the last campaign, of
what they do for particular localities
in the awarding of Federal money
But some restriction upon cam
paign contributions probably Is nee
essary as is some check-up on the
political use of public funds ap-
propriated originally for other OBJ
jects.
All this reform probably would
be unheard Of and the subject would
not even be discussed were 1t not
for the attack which the New Dealers,
and particularly the President, are
making on the iniquities of the profit
system. .... ..---..

One North Carolina county wants
the Government to compensate it for

Six Tennessee counties find a loss

Public ownership Of railroads and
public ownership of utilities would de

that in one State this would amount

The entire program of government

Constitution Came in '96.
This unusual class of graduates
stuck together after the graduation
and, in 1896, 10 years after they had
left the class room and at about the
time when the average graduate has
forgotten all his school chums, the
graduates decided they needed con-
stitution.
Like the famous Annapolis class of
1881, which boasts such members as
Admiral Wilson, Admiral Kato and
former Secretary of War Weeks, the
Washington High School class of 1885
numbers several men and women on
its rolls who have achieved promi-
nence. It has produced two brigadier
generals, a local high school princi-
pal, nationally recognized medical
authority, several prominent lawyers
and scores of other successful busi-
ness and professional men and
women.
No Latin scholar could better quote
his Caesar than can Mr.. Bates recite
the history of his class. He knows,
for instance, that the year 1886 was
the first in which the high school
cadets had uniforms. He knows what
each member of the class has done in
the military. professional or business
world, the state of his or her health,
and whether they like sugar in their
coffee.

told, too, that II the companies were
forced to discontinue their present
pension systems, 1t would not only
work a hardship on them but on in
surance companies which hold the
$3.50. .000. 900.
Furthermore, it was argued that
many existing systems pay bigger
pensions to persons at younger ages
than is contemplated under the ad-
ministration's bill.
The bill in its present form would
levy a tax of 2 per cent on pay rolls
beginning in 1887 and increasing to
6 per cent in 1949, half to be paid by
the employer and half by the employe.
A man who entered the Federal system
before 1912 and who made over $3.50
a month would, If he reached IS in
1862, get $3.50 a month pension.
Figure Declared Small.
Such a pension, the advocates Of
existing systems contend, is much
smaller than they would pay.
On the other hand, actuaries have
been figuring on the big pay rolls
which are scheduled to build up the
Federal rund to such a size that it
would meet all demands. Admins
