Former Republican State Senator
George Bender of Cleveland once pub
licly proclaimed his willingness to sup
port a move for Impeachment.
For campaign fodder, Davey points
to an $4,000, 900 balance in the State
Treasury and to his s8,7S5,0 budget
bill vetoes which left the six State

departments in a financial dilemma.
His latest economy move-dismissal
of 1000 employees doing unnecessary
work-was designed to cut between
50 ,000, 900 and So. .0o0, 900 of the State
pay roll.
Unorthodox political maneuvering
caused dissension in some Democratic
quarters and brought about indica-
tions of coolness on the part of the
national administration.

Roosevelt.

BY ]. A. OTEARY.

The first step since Congress re-
convened to try to work out an
amendment to the national social Sc
curity law that would preserve pri-
vate pension systems established by
industries, will be taken Friday.
A meeting of the joint House and
Senate subcommittee handling the
problem has been called for that date
by Chairman King, to explore the
problem again with Government ac-
tuaries and social security experts,
who were assigned to continue the
study during the congressional recess.
The private pension question re-
lates to q section of the social Sc
curity program which has not yet
begun to operate, namely. the Fed
eral old-age annuity plan. Under this
plan, Federal pensions would be paid
to workers when they retire at IS
years of age, the cost to be Offset by
pay roll taxes collected from both
employers and employees, starting in
January. 1887.
Exemption Amendment Task.
The task assigned to the joint sub
committee Is to try to devise an
amendment under which industries
having retirement systems equal to or
more beneficial than the proposed
Federal plan could be granted exemp-
ton from the .old-age insurance pay
roll taxes.
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis-
souri,, wrote an amendment to pro-
vide such an exemption at the last
session, and the Senate adopted it by
a decisive vote. However, conferees
were unable to reach an agreement
with the House on the terms of the
amendment, and the decision to study
it further at this session was reached
finally as a compromise to expedite
passage of the social security law.
Hope for Modified Form.
Advocates of the exemption are
hopeful some modified form oi

Whether this is possible may be indi.

One of the chief obstacles to ar

On the other hand, supporters o1
the amendment pointed out that many
concerns have pension plans thai

1t was as if his impotence against

she was afraid she had resolved

itself into the present. 1t was so
