Reply to Comsens. Senator Couzens, republican, Michi- g2n, who recently challenged Secre- tary Mellon to a joint debate on the latter's proposal ‘for reducing sur- taxes to a maximum of 25 per cent and stopping the issuance of tax- exempt securities, had the Secre- tary's reply. befors him today, ignor- ing the challenge, but citing the sena- tor's own investments as answering his argument: “If, as you say, high surtaxes are immaterial,” sald Mr. Mellon, “it would be interesting to. know what influenced you in.your selection of tax-exempt securities to the exclu- sion of all others.” He reiterated his' contention that the prohibiting of further tax-exempt securities would divert capital into railroad building and other channels Where it is greatly needed, while leaving the same. ‘wide market” for municipal and state bonds that ex- isted before high surtaxes were im- posed.

PINIEAAy Liberalization of: the present civil ‘|service retirement'.act, in sccordance with the provisions of the Stapfield- Lehlbach bill, w&# strongly urged upon the Senate and House civil service com- {mittees mecting jointly today, by rep- |resentatives of the United National As- soclation of Post Office Clerks. C. P. Franclscus, president of the as- soclation; John J. Grogan, and John P. McGeoy, treasurer, were heard in sup- port of the measure They also advocated the ment of the principle pro the bill prepared by the civil retirement division of the P bureau, by which the higher pald employes, who contribute larger sums to the retirement fund, should re. celve, the larger annuity upon retire- | ment, Urges Increased Annuities. Representative Boylan of New York, author. of the present clvil service retirement law of New York stat also urged upon the joint commit- tees the enactment of leglsiation granting increased annyities to the retired civil service employes. He | sald that for many years he himself, was a clerk in the New York post o fice, and' he knew from personal ex perience under what burden the gov- ernment employes labor. “Basic salaries paid to government employes are entirely too low in view of the existing high cost of living, ald Mr. Boylan. “How elving the present meager sa lowed by the government to pi anything for a rainy day or for his old age? He can't do it. 8o we ought to be liberal and provide pen- wions for the government employes to which they may look forward as adequate protection in their old age.” Basic Salary as Factor. Mr. Boylan declared also in favor of the principle that the actual basic salary of the employe should be taken into account in fixing the annuities, declaring it was only just that the employes who pay in the most to the retirement fund should receive the greater annuity. He described in some detall the New York civil serv- ice retirement act and sald that its operation during the four years it had been in effect had been most successful. Mr. Franclscus spoke particularly in favor of the provisions of the Stan- field-Lehibach bill providing for vol- untary retirement at the conclusion of thirty years of serviee and for compulsory retirement at the age of sixty-five, and for the proposed in- crease in the maximum annuity to $1,200. Mr. Franciscus spoke also in favor of permitting higher annuities to the higher paid employes, who have contributed the larger sums to the retirement fund. Mr. Crogan indorsed the testimony of Mr. Franciscus and expressed the opinion that the postal clerks were ertitlied to retire after thirty years of service because of the constant and arduous labor, much of it at night, which they afe called upon to pe form. 1 To Regulate Accounting. George B. Buck of New York, chair- man of the board of actuaries under the present federal civil service re- tirement act, told the joint commit- tee that the present law should be amended so as to provide for better methods of accounting. He said that téday no list of the employes and their total contributions to the re- is necessary to go over the pay since 1920 to find out how much the | employe has paid in. He recommended nlsq that the ac- counts be so arranged as to show the actual llability of the government at all times in connection with the civil service retirement fund. It has been estimated, he sald, that the cost to the government of the retirement act during a perfod of thirty years would be 3.87 per cent of the present pay roll. He figured that as & lump sum this deficlency would be approxi- mately $341,000,000. Government. Liability Estimated. At the close of thirty years the lia. bility of the government, he sal be approximately = 1.32 per 1 y roil. He explained ployes who will benefit under the r tirement act made no contributions to the fund prior to 1920, when the civil service retirement act was pass- ed. The hearing will be resumed at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, with Mr. Buck as witne: R s The Pole Star. From the Kansas City Times. The pole star is a star of the second magnitude, at the extremity of the handle of the “little dipper.” It is in the constellation Ursa Minor (lit- tle bear), and is distant one degree seventeen minutes from the north pole of the heavens OWwing to the movement of the pole of the celestial equator around that of the ecliptic, it follows that this star will eventually (2100 A.

Twelve thousand years hence, Vega, In the constellation of the Lyre, will_be within five degrees of the north pole, and will be the polar star. ‘he chief difference between an- ll;!:le:l and junk is about $36.35 a {pound.
