PROS AND CONS It is pretty well understood that the bill for the retirement of aged and disabled de- partment clerks will not be pressed at this sersion of Congress. It Is said that the cemmittee on reform in the civil service, however, is very much inclined to report at the next session and secure action on some kind of a bill which will relieve the de- partments of what some members of the committee call dead timber, without work- ing at the same time an injustice and hard- ship upon faithful public servants, who grown old and disabled in the con- tious performance of their public du- The Pension Idea, A well-known citizen of Washington, prominent in business circles and in public enterprises, signing himself “I5x-Ciers,” the following forcible argument inst the principle of a civil pension hist: 1 wish to add a few words to the di cussion on the civil service pension topic. 1 can se# no reason in the proposition for compulsory contribution to a civil pension fund. If it be desired to create a fund for the relief of those in need, no matter trom e, it strikes me that it would be rothat it should be by the volun- association of those who desire tu join in such a movement. “IT have no sympathy wha ver with the wppeal on behaif of hose who have spent a4 lifetime in the service. ois Who ave drawn a salary, paid moathiy in twenty or morc is much larger a and which ry a general rule than they cculd obtain outside for similar scrvice with much longer hours, ought not to be in | need of a pension. 1 Of course there may be Piional | Ss, in which, owing to sickness in th family or some simiiar misfortune, } inay have been unable to save anyihy i Init such cases ure . and could vided for ty above suggested. urged th voluntary a The Uiret att promotion appointed no .

Iam in the ser- ice for the salary which I receive, and have no secondary motive, in the shape of studying for a profession. I expeet to re- main here until my place is wans some one else, or until Lam no lonz to earn my wage; Yet I believe the bill in question to be essentially wrong in princi- Pere sete wordt dorm “oF tae tee lation, heing an income tax without the shadow of an excuse therefor. If this great and pow- erful government wishes to pension its Lroken-down employes, let it pay the bills, as is done, by the nations ‘having prete sions to respectability,” spoken of by ‘Gov- ernment Clerk.’ i “It should be a wonder to honest men that such a bill could even be introduced in an American Congress. Can any one see the justice of taxing a clerk receiving, say, $540 per year, to enable a clerk to retire on a pension of $1,500 to 31,8007 “Again, there might be some small show of justice in a modified form of such a bill if a position under our government was permanent, but it is notorious that such is not the case, Those learning trades or pro- fessions are not the only ones who are missing after a few years’ service. “Either these positions as clerks are de- sirable, or they are not. If they are de- sirable, let the clerks be governed by the business principles which obtain in other callings, and lay by of their earnings for their declining years. The very few who | after thirty years of sovernment service, ing neither extravagant nor <lissipated, are found to be in want are to be pitied; but are no more entitled to a pension than a retired postmaster or school teacher un- der the same circumstances. rhe honorable member from Minnesota is no doubt sincere, but if his tniquitous and ill-advised measure become a law, he can hardiy expect the present gencration of government clerks to rise up and call him blessed, “I am in sympathy with many of the amendments which are proposed to this measure. If the bill must pass, by all means let the eccentric and unjust incon- sistencles be removed from it, but at pre: ent Iam unable to see how a Congress- man with any pretensions to honor can give it his support.” Old Clerks and Young. An old clerk sends the following philo- sophical utterane “It is very doubtful whether a majority of ‘eligibles’ desire retirement, under the Tawney bill; yet, they are all savagely attac young gentlemen who, buck that oth very late hours, and are in no condition to distinguished between a tiger and a tom in the morning.
