THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1896-TWELVE PAGES. a increase in the cterical- force; -and every such recruit must be provided for in his turn, and the separations from! the service —requiring either repayment or pension— will almost equal the number of new ap- pointees throughout any given period, long or short. . ae “As to the portion of the foree that may become pensionable, one-half is a liberal estimate, for only about one-half of persons thirty years of age live to be sixty, even vnder the favorable conditions of clerical life; and the number of separations from the service by resignation and dismissal would inevitably reduce this ratio to con- siderably below one-half. So all this effort is, at best, oniy in the interests of a mi- nority of those concerned. The bill provides for several classes of pensionabks, but the sixty-year-old thirty- year-service class is the only one constitut- ing a factor in the problem presented. Of those retiring earlier under the “‘disab‘lity” ‘provision, the number would, in the very nature of thirgs, be but small, while there is nothing in the bill to prevent the sev- enty-year class from retiring voluntarily under the provisions for the s!xty-year class; and even were it not so, the first year’s retirements would wipe them out. The benefits (?) of the savings-fund fea- ture are sczrcely worthy of discussion. The salary paid affords tu scme a surplus; to others a bare sufficiency, while to others, owing to extravagance, misfortune or other cause, it proves inadequate to the demands made upen it. Such as have a surplus are, as a rule, capable of taking care of it, many of them investing it In homes; and what Is 4 per cent to such an one, or to one who, having an undue share of life's burdens to bear, so as to leave no surplus— perhaps a deficit—as things are now, when this assessment would Fave the effect of crippling ris resources to that extent, and often compelling Fim to borrow to supply the deficiency, and pay interest at the rate of from 6 to 10 per cent, or more? The Improvidents. As to the “improvident” class (of which we hear so much), who save nothing now, and who would thus be compelled to save something, it is just possible that they (or thelr families) might be somewhat bene- fited; but this even could hardly justify such governmental interference with the right of the majority to manage their own private affairs. I cannot forbear noticing the argument that is implied in the statement relative to those who enter the service with a view to leaving at the end of a few years. Indeed, I seriously question the wisdom of holding out any irducement to people to hang on for life o- until diminished efficiency ren- ders retircment (for the good of the ser- vice) advisable. Government positions are CLERKS’ ANNUITIES The Discussion of the Tawney Bill Still Goes On. STRONG ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST The Arithmetic of the Proposition Set Forth. THE VARIOUS VIEWS The clerks in the various departments centinue to discuss the Tawney bill. As a rule, the clerks are in favor of it. Yet the majority wno support the proposition choose to say but little in regard to it, while those who oppose it speak out with umrestrained freedom in opposition to the measure. The older and more judicious Officials unhesitatingly give their support to the bill. ~Mr. Thomas A. Broadus, one of the old elerks in the pension office, who has been @ most earnest advocate of the measure from the beginning of the movement, said today to a Star reporter: “I wish the prop- esition bore a name more precisely true. It is not a Dill to pension clerks, and it does not put the clerk’s rights and priv- fleges on the footing of a pensioner of the government. If it is called a pension there Is likely to be a confusion of ideas. People will begin to transfer and apply to this sys- tem the ideas and principles applicable to @ soldier's pension. The Withdrawal Feature. “It should be distinctly understood that the clerk is buying an annuity for himself; thai it terminates with his own life, and eannot be claimed by his widow or minor children; and, it seems to me, that as a premium on long and faithful service clerks who voluntarily resign should not be permitted to withdraw the fund aceu- mulated to their credit.

Thus it appears to one who has labored all his life, aurtly within and partly without the civil ce.” cal, straight- ‘The objection per cent from ‘ememiber that fandment at dis- f irrimg before the retirement.

To say that it must be incident to or caused by his civil service is absurd. The Tawney bill is correct in mak- ing it the only condition as to disability for retirement that it should not be due to icious habits. A man may have had a der antedating his term of service which for many years has not amounted to serious physical disqualification; but in time it does amount to it, and when (after twenty years’ service) it has become so se- ricus the clerk should be retired if he de- sires to be; or after twenty-five years’ such retirement should be compulsery if hi! physical or mental condition demands it." “No clerk, however healthy, is exempt from danger of sudden and terrible disabil- ity. If already in service for twenty years, he would have the option under the Tawney bill of retirement, and under the same bill he would be retired compulsorily after twenty-five years.” Probable Pension Office Retirements. An old pension office clerk, who has made a careful esiimate from the records of the number of employes of the pension bureau to be affected by the propos-d retirement law, said today: “Of class one (salary 31,200 to $1,400) the number of employers who on the Ist day of July, 19, will have served twenty years in classified servic in the pension bureau, and who will have the option of retirement if totally disabled manual labor from causes not due to ws habits, is one hundred and seventy . this purchase of an annuity, e hai i by the safest cus- in the world—the United States gov- it—will be the logical sequence and the civil service in its permanent ithmetic of the Bill. Carr of the sixth auditor's office is 1 to the bill He writes The Star as “In no way, perhaps, can the fitness or unfitness of this measure to become a law be better demonstrated than by means of plain figures showing its practical work- . its if enacted.

A very con- servative estimate would place the number of those in favor of it, ur ‘something =qual- ly as good,’ at at least 9 per cent of all the employes; but as all new projects, no matter how commendable, are sure to mect with opposition, so this measure has stirred up a few objectors, who, though small in number, make a great deal of noise, resist- ance being active, and apparently all of them have made themselves heard, while the friends of the bill seem content to re- main passive and trust in Congress. But as so much space has been given to the ob- jectors, the writer desires, in the interests of equity and fair play, to go on record as favoring the scheme, and to call attention to a few fallacies of the opposition. He is employed in the War Department, belongs to the junior contingent and is posted on the general sentiment in his bureau. The clerks therein are practically unanimous in favor of it, only one having expressed him- self against it. The opposition, either through organic weakness, ignorance or de- sign, make some very misleading state- ments. Yet their arguments and the rea- sons they advance might have a tendency to create a wrong impression among those who have only superficially examined the subject. In fact, they don’t ‘tote fair.’ Not au Oppresive Measure. “This* measure originated among the clerks themselves, and fs not an effort on the part of anybody, as has been claimed, to inaugurate an oppressive measure. It was quietly agitated in the departments for some time, the consensus of opinion beirg very much in its favor even in .he rough and indefinite form of its mn. A can- vass of the departments will show, in every instance, that an overwhelming majority are in favor of it. The older clerks would be pleased to be able to retire with an as- , of the maximum; the individual contribution for the next say, ion for each $1 con! ate uted the pensioner. Even after the maximum period and amount of contribu- tion has been reached (thirty years heuce) each pensioner will get on an average over $10.000 ror 2 contribution of $720, or nearly 5 for $1. Now, this money must come from somewhere. In case of the ‘Old Line’ Fire Insurance Company, the fund for Day- Ment of losses is largely made up by the gontributions of those who do not suffer Joss, and therefore get nothing back. In “old line’ life insurance the rate of premi- um is so adjusted that the average indi- vidual benefit shall not ex (or even equal) the average individual contribution. = —_— forms ca maar ance the same prin- eiple governs, the orl: fteren in the mode of its application. eEoeee The Withdrawal Feature. “But this pension scheme has no such re- wource as the ‘old line’ fire insurance, for it is proposed to repay the contributions of these who fail to attain a pensionable €tatus, thus leaving the fund ultimately available for the payment of pensions to consist of the contributions of the very ores who are to draw it out at the rate of from $15 to $100 for $1 contributed. With ‘the number of contributors and beneficiaries Practically equal, with such immense dis- arity existing between the amount of the contribution and the benefit, how they ex- pect to maintain their pension fund passes the comprehension of ordinary mortals. “It will not do to rely upon the fact of its being perpetual, so that new recruits will keep the fund going, for the number of con- tributors will be a nearly constant quanti- ty, increasing only in the ratio of the net sured income, while the younger ones would be glad of an opportunity to fill the places thus vacated. Nearly all of the objectors assert that the junior clerks are opposed to it, when the fact is they are almost a unit in its favor, not so much that they expect to live or remain in the service long enough to become direct beneficiaries under it, as for the increased chances for promotion that would be occasioned by the ones who would go out. “As it has been estimated that about 375 clerks would be retired as soon as the act became operative, many of them in the higher grades, {t would make a much larger number of promotions; for every clerk of class 4, with a salary of $1,800, who retired there would be at least four promotions, in many cases more, and one vacancy, as a class 3 clerk would get the highest place, one from class 2 go up to class 3, and so en, a clerk from each grade taking one step up, clear to the end of the line. Regular Promotions. “This series of promotiens’ would un- doubtedly aggregate a thousand, outside of the regular order. And when it is con- sidered that those wh> would receive no immediate benefit, in the shape of a retire- ment or promotion, would be pushed much higher in the line and, therefore, much nearer promction than they could possibly be under the present system, it is easy to understand why the young, as well as the old, clerks favor it, ‘For it is fair to assume that, however many clerks there may be who are so well fixed and independent that they would scorn to accept a pension (as some of the opposition have asserted), It is a well-demonstrated fact that not a single instance could be found of a clerk who does not desire a promotion, whether he deserves it or not. “The estimate in Saturday's Star by Jos. Trainor, demonstrating the inadequacy of the fund proposed, places the pension of every clerk who retires at $100 per month; this is manifestly unfair, as there are many in the very lowest grades who would be eligible for retirement. The average month- ly pension would probably not exceed $75, and, as it is proposed to pay Interest on the fund on hand, as is done with the Soldiers’ Home fund, the amount would probably be ample. But suppose the withholding of 2 per cent does not create a fund large enough to maintain the pensions, it may be easily remedied by increasing the assessments until the necessary amount is reached; 2% or 3 per cent would certainly be sufficient, and no particular hardship would be caused by retaining such a small amount in each case. “As a promotion usually means an addi- tional 3200 annually, and as a thousand pro- motions would probably result under the act, it would appear that its opponents have neglected to indulge in any very deep re- flections on the subject, or perhaps they are not rated high enough in the efficiency records of their departments to stand a chance of promotion under any circum- stances. Question of Saving. “It is certainly no argument to insist that a clerk should be able to save enough from his munificent salary to be able to retire with a competency, as the varying condi- tions that exist among all classes of people control the lives and fortunes of govern- ment clerks as well, and they are subject to sickness, big doctors’ bills, large familles, false friends, unfortunate investments, and all the ills that flesh is heir to, so that most of then: remain poor to the end of the chap- ter, and those who are able to retire with private fortunes hased on savings from their salaries are the exception, while those who do so retire have yet to be discovered. overnment employes in the classified service do not receive large salaries. While some clerks may receive more for their serv- ices than they would in commercial pur- uits, and perhaps more than they are worth, there are many who could command better pay on the outside. They come here with the intention of staying only a year or two, stay on year after year, alway putting off the ‘of their departure, and all the th absorbing the erervating poison of official life, until they die in the service, generally from old a charged when they g over again on di or they are dis- € lines, when they not infrequently leave the world and its woes by the suicide route.
