\ CHARITES APPEAL OTES TO REASONS Citizens Urged by Chairman Ailes to Provide $55,000 " Relief for Poor. Ten reasons why Washingtonians should support the Associated Chari- ties and Citizens' Relief :Assoclation are cited by Milton E. Alles, chairman of the joint finance committee of these family welfare organizations, in “An Open Letter Addressed to ‘Washington Givers,” and which will be put in the malls tomorrow. These reasons are:: . Because thesé associated chari- ties are carried on by voluntary con- tributlons, receiving no appropria- tion from Congess. Because the work is community- and non-sectarian. Because the folks whom the so- cieties help are’your fellow towns- men. : g 4. Because everybody's business’1s nobody's, Yet somebody must cafe and - leam-work is necessary in a‘lasse city. : . Because the Associated Charities has back of itiforty-two years of service. Because the society’s workers trained to discover the cause of trouble, supplying suitable reme- and removing the cause where wide these workers are at use - the children in'these mnes must be gjven a chance health and happiness. these family welfare ive both direct relief and constructive home service. 10. Because the natlon's Capital Khould be the city of good-will as well B3 the city beautiful. Makes Widespread Appeal. Mr. Ailes' appeal is addressed mnot only to the regular constituents of these ussoclated charlties, those who have not renewed thelr gifts for the current r, but also to all former contributors. DIr. ‘Ailes’ letter also makes special ap- yeal to those of limited means, who not worth while to give because they are unable to contribute 1 sums.. He cites the fact that the appeal is for their personal interest and co-operation as well as for their finan- wial support.

New Disability Allewance. 9. That the disabllity allowance be changed in & manner similar to that proposed for the service allowance except that the allowance for dis- abllity be made womewhat smaller than that for service. The granting of a disability allowance at a rate slightly less than the service allow- ance rate has been proved advisable by the experience of other plans. 10. That the various classes of pen- sions be abolished and the benefit be graded acoording to the actual num- ber of years and months of service instead of to the present three-year teps. This'change appears advisable m the administrative viewpoint and 1s fairer to'the employe. 11.

The actuaries ‘{n'.thefr repoit to Congress, emphasize that their bill does not contemplate any change in the class of employes covered by the proposed law, the contributions of employes or the immediate appro- priations by the Congress for the payment of benefits. The demand for an amendment to the law to permit retirement after thirty years of service took concrete form In & bill presented by Represent- ative Lehibach to the Sixty-seventh Congress. The board of actuaries gave consideration to this plan and prepared a statement of its ‘cos! In this current report the board describes what will be accomplished by the measure it hag prepared and what the plan it recommends will cost the government. A description is then given of the plan introduced by Representative Lehlbach, which is favored by employes. Lastly the text of the measure recommended by the board is given together with notes covering each of the provisions contained in the measure. 1In explaining why it believes new legislation is required the board of actuaries gave these flve reasone: Reasons for New Law. J. The method of administration tollowed in the present measure is unsound. 2 The liabllities of the government are increasing annually Wwithout any account being taken of the amount. 3. The records maintained are not adequate to furnish knowledge as to the condition of the fand or to pro- l:ccz it against abuse. The provisions of the present . y operate fairly &s be- tween employ o Judged by the standards set by the 'retirement systems organized upon_a sound basi the United States cf _ ment and disability plan is Guate. Arguing that the present migthod of administration is unsound, ~ll actuaries call the attention of Con- gress to the following: Payments to Employe. 1. Each employe pays into the civil service retirement and disability fund 2% per cent of salary. If the employe leaves the service before be- coming_ eligible for the benefit. o dles, the amount pald is returned to gether with 4 per cent compound in- ferest. If the employe dies after re- | tirement before receiving the amount | of his contributions with interest, a | payment of the balance is made to his estate. 3. The fund ls, therefore, in the nature of a trust fund which holds each employe's contributions for his benefit alone. ! 3. As a trust fund, careful account | should be made of 'the aggregate amount so held, with ita interest, for the benefit of the emploves. 4. Instead, these funds are being dissipated a8 the result of the pres- ent practice of charging against them | the annuities pald to the present an- nuitants. The funds contributed for one purpose are thus being disbursed for another purpose, and no record is maintained as such of the actual amounts contributed by the present employes which should be considered as @ trust fund for their benefit. The practice of paying benefits under a retirement plan to one group of em ployes from the contributions made ! by. Another group of employes has regularly resulted ultimately in the dissolution of any retirement plan that employed it Calls It Bad Example. | 6. By permitting this condition to! continue the United States govern- | ment is fostering a practice serving | 48 an unsound example to every gov- | ernmental or industrial organization that establishes a retirement. fund. It is most respectfully and emphati- | cally urged, the report states, thatj the federal government discontinue ; the practice. 6. The aggregate amount of the em- ployes' contributions, with interest, which is creditable to employes in service on June 30, 1923, and, there- (ore, to the fund from this source alone, is, as of that date, approxi- mately $37,367,768. The Tregsury De- partment reports but $25,510,269 to the credit of the retirement system from this and all other sources. This means that, altogether aside from the government's llability for its own| contributions, the fund now ‘stands in deficit of some $11,857,479 of its lia- bility merely to refiind employes’ con- tributions with interest, and actual accrued liability of the government of $11.857,479 on account.of this item alone. Discuseing how the 1fablilities of the government are increasind an- nually without any account being taken of the amount, the actuaries' report call attention to the follow- e ) S How Liabilitien Accrue. 1. ealculation made as of June 30, "1921, showed: that annually the government is permitting o lability to accrue equal to 3.67 per cent of the pay roll of members to provide the benefits under the fund. This ayment, which amounts to upwards of $17,000,000 per annum, would, to- gether with its interest earnings and | with the employes’ undepleted con- tributions at interest, just provide and continue to provide the funds to meet the benefit obligations of the existing law. ¢ 2. Instead of making this contri- - {bution currently, or even of setting it up as a lability, the government is annually diverting the contribu- tions of the employed to pay the ben- efits of the retired, and is permitting this depletion .to ‘continue not only unaccounted for; but altogether dis- regarded. 3. Ultimately it cannot escape act- appropriations not only of this 3.67 per oent of the pay roll of each olapsed year, but must also make up the lnte{e:'-h::n;r:md.llnr o it at 4| or cen s also falll gredltt'l? the fund, ... 4. It is impossible under the 5 {ng plan of administration and reed to estimate with commensurate -c-[ curacy the extent of the liabilities of the government today. Payments to Increase. 5. Experience of other syste: promises that the -annual payments required of the government may be expected to increase ultimately to over 20 per cent of the pay roll if they are mot met as they acerue. 6. Without definite knowledge of the amount of its liabilities the gov- rnment has no means of measuring its present and futpre monetary obli- tions. under the existing law or of | termising its proper gourss with THE Group of Oange Indtans photographed with President Coolidge at the White Houne yesterday.

The board is of the opinion that it Is unfair to the taxpayers to per- mit this liability to continue mount- ing up as an obligation to be met through taxation without any knowl- edge or record of its magnitude and that it should be at least duly re- corded on the books of the Treasury. Supporting its contention that the records now maintained are not ade- quate to furnish knowledge as to the condition of the fund or to protect it against abuse, the board of actu- arfes presents the following: No Accurate Lists Kept. 1. No accurate reccrd of the mem- bership matntained. Notwith- tanding the hat the retirement a iploye in the inevitable ~clain against the of the fund there 18 no agency of the federal govern- ment where a record of even the aggregate number of contributors carn be_ obtained 2 There is no basis available for actuarial investigations and valua- tion: The law makes provision for a board of actuaries to make the needed periodic valuations of the fund, but it does not require the maintenance of the records necessa to make such valuations. Despite ree ports of the board of actuaries ommending the establishment of roper records, such records have not een established except in the case of the pensioners. 3. The average liability of the gov- ernment to each of the contributors to the fund is probably larger thun the average liability of the typical savings bank to each of ity depositors, No savings bank would urdertuke to operate without an account for each depositor, yet the administritive au- thority of the present system is with- out & record even as to the number of depositors, Cont More in the Future. 4. The ‘expense of establishing the needed records is not being saved and cannot be. Every record required | must eventually be prepared in the | course of the administration of the | npresent law or of any retirement law nd that is 1ilely to be enacted. Falling to bring up at once the past, and' maintain all the records of its pres- | ent employes, the government fs re- Jectng the protection afforded by such records and Is even incurring an ever increasing additional expense by deferring the inevitable task that in- creases in difficulty with the age of the data left uncollected. The pres- ent practice of operating the system without records until the employe presents a claim is held indefensible: In its contention that the present eystera does not operate fairly as be- tween employes, the board of actuar- ies g:ves Congress the following rea- son for this conclusion: 1. The benefits saould be based on the same salary as that on which the contributions are paid, or they should lated directly to' the amount of ontributions The ages fixed for retirement on account of age should be adjusted so that the distinction made groups would be more sistent with the relativ conditions of an_object scem 1o be attained if the normal perc ge cost were made more nearly the same for all®occupational groups Would Repeal Section. 3. The section of the law providing for increases in annuities on com- pletion of terms of service, which are multiples of three vears, should be repealed. 4. The law should be amerded to provide for greater safeguards on to give author- te a bene amount of his h department or inde pendent bureau to furnish annuall the information necessary concerning the emploves under his supervison, for the use of the commissioner of pensions. The actuaries also will call the at- | tention of Congress to the following: 1. The retirement law does not provide a method by which an em- ploye' may be eliminated from the service at whatever time his separa- tion would increase the efficiency of the service. 2, The benefits provided are so low for emvloyes in responsible positions that they cannot &fford to give up their positions in favor of or _more, competent employes. 2. The government is compelled to help support the fund without re- celving the full benefit to the service which a sound retirement fund fords. - p 4. Employes ‘are compellcd to con- tribute to the fund without receiving benefits properly related to the con- tributions made. 5. The ages for retirement are set too high to serve to attract young: employes. e LAUDS GROUP WORK IN PUBLIC LIBRARIES is the keynosk: ol modern library work,” 1 Bostwick, -author’, and libravian of the St Leuls public library, declared in addressing the annual meeting of the Disirict of C, lumbia Liprary Associatdon at Grace Dodge Hotel Priday’ dyeaing., Dr, Bostwick, <who, ‘basi beon. trayeling through the east addressing libra rians, said that ‘Books is the mogan which showld. be ed by librarians, and . theré’ are:prob- ably very few librarians in the'ooun- try thoroughly furnishing all th groups of .their communities.
