UNIFORMITY ASKED
FOR j. s. PENSIONS
Civil Service Heads Seek
Bigger Fund to Enable
EQUALIZATION Plan.

With q Senate subcommittee pre-
pairing to hold hearings this week on
proposals to liberalize the Govern
ment employees retirement plan, the
Civil Service Commission submitted to
Congress yesterday the 10th annual re-
port of the Board of Retirement Ae-
tuaries.
Without singing out any particular
plan for approval, the board recon-
mended:
81. That some amendment be made
to the law which will tend to greater
uniformity in the application of bene-
fits and contributions of employees.
y. That before any proposed amend
ment be adopted, attention be given
to the effect that its adoption will
have on the cost of the fund to the
Government, and that arrangements
be made to meet any increase In cost
which may be involved.
Full Amount Asked.
"3. That If no change be made In
the retirement act, the Government
include In the appropriation bill the
full amount needed to support the ex-
isting provisions Of the law as indi-
Gated by this report and that If .
change is made, the full appropriation
indicated to be necessary under the
amended law be included"
The third recommendation had ref
erence to q statement earlier in the
report that appropriation acts in the
past have not always carried the full
amount estimated by the actuaries
as necessary to keep the Governments
liability to the fund up to date.
The report contained . table COM
pairing the estimated annual contri-
buttons under the existing retirement
law with the probable costs Of various
suggested nberalizing plans, Is follows:
Contributions Shown.
Existing plan-Total annual contri-
buttons, $l2l,910,8ss. Of which en-

BEARD CASE ST|RS
TRANSCRIPTION
Move to Clarity Procedure
on Shifting Prisoners Is
Under Way.

A move to clarity confusion in the
procedure followed in transferring pris-
oners between Lorton Reformatory and
Federal penitentiaries was seen last
night in the announcement that the
Prison Industries Reorganization Boarc
soon will release q report bearing on
that subject.
This announcement followed 4 de.
mand by District Commissioner Hazen
that three other Washington gamblers
now serving time at Lorton be sent
back to Atlanta with Sam Peard, for
mer head Of Washington gambling
fraternity.
Beard and the other three we're
brought here from Atlanta in an ex-
change Of prisoners.
DR.. Louis N. Robinson. chairman OF
the Prison Industries Reorganization
Board. revealed that agency has been
making q survey of the procedure fol-
lowed in exchanging prisoners and will
report within few weeks on sugRes-
tions for eliminating confusion in such
transfers.
Cites Present Conditions, 80.
DR.. Robinson said that under pres-
ent conditions it is impossible to dis
tmgulsh clearly between District and
Federal prisoners. especially in view
OF the fact that the Attorney General
may transfer prisoners at will between
Lorton and Federal penitentiaries. DR.
Robinson added there is . strong
feeling in the District that the Dis
trict penal system should be self
suf1cient with facilities for proper
detention Of all District criminals"
The board was set up by the Presi-
dent in 1885 and has surveyed 4 num-
Der of penal systems.
The gamblers Commissioner Hazen
will seek to have returned to Atlanta
with Beard are Charles (Rags) War
ring. Joseph S. Barnes and Sam
Montgomery.
AT next Tuesdays board meeting
Of the Commissioners" Mr.. Hazen
said. Il am going to recommend that
they be sent back to Atlanta, where
they belong. When we get walls built
around Lorton, then it will be q safe
enough place for such rats. At pres
ent Lorton IS too comfortable a place
for them. In Atlanta they will be
made to do more work and have less
freedom"
Cummings Orders Beard Returned.
Attorney General Cummings ordered
Beard sent back to Atlanta, pre-.
sumably as safeguard against thu
possibility he qight be able, through
Intermediates. to resume his activity
IN gambling circles in the Capital.
Warning and his two aides wer.
sentenced to from 18 months to :
years following their conviction II
the shooting in July, 1886, of JOSEPH
E. OBrien. Three others convicted
with them-John Sweeney, Clarence
Ware and George F. Tear-are servins
time at Leavenworth. Warning ha.
been identified principally with tn.
numbers racket.
1t is expected that Beard, who wa.
exchanged last Saturday. will be sem
back to Atlanta within q few days,

Seen More Costly.
Most of the plans would raise the
employees rate of contribution from
31a to S per cent of salary. The Nicely
bill leaves it unchanged.
The Board Of Actuaries revealed it
had worked out the composite plan
after consultation with various OIL
cials. but found that probably it
would be more costly to the Govern
ment than had been anticipated. For
that reason the board has reached
the conclusion further adjustments
are needed in the so-called composite
plan before it can be recommended
for approval.
The essential differences between
existing law and the various plans
relate to retirement age limits.

modus operandi might be irksome.
But District supply houses do not have
these avenues Of escape. In certain
types Of activity trade practices are
firmly established. It might not be
so distrous to the nonresident If he
had to forego the sending of solicitors
through the District. It is possible to
have branch Offices or warehouses
nearby. in Silver Spring, Alexandria,
Bethesda or Rockville. Many exist
there now. Even for the nonresident
concern that maintains . branch Of
nee here the tax would apply only to
sales receipts originating through the
local otice, or taken by an agent in
the District.
Nonresident concerns. however,
would not be on an equal footing, If
some continued to maintain branch
plants or ofhces or solicitors in the
District and others did not.
District merchants are not on IN
equal footing for = different reason.
One of the large Washington mer-
chants pes q relatively small gross
receipts tax. This Is because he has
so large an inventory and other tam
gible personal property. The tax on
tangible property, including stock in
trade, may be deducted from the gross
receipts tax. Another merchant pays
. relatively higher tax because he has
q very small amount Of personal pfop-
erty, takes in a relatively large amount
OF gross receipts, though operating on
q small margin Of profit.
For these reasons the tangible tax
deductions for small business houses
are reported to run up to 80 per cent
OF the gross receipts tax, whereas in
the case of large businesses the de.
auctions run rs high as go per cent.
