HOUSE MEMBERS

IN SALARY APPEAL
(Continued from First Page.)
! to lose valuable services through a low
salarted scale." |
Salary Raises Small.
Mr. Taylor declared that "pay rates
In the. Government, for many years
too low. have been little raised since the
w'ar although the cost of living the
country over had mounted to 72 per
cent more in December, 1927, than It
was In 1913.”
He advised the commute that proper
reclassification Is one of the most im
portant. things In. the field service. A*
an indication of how low salaries are
In the Department of Agriculture, com
pared with the cost of living, Mr. Tg.v
lor called attention to a "coffin club ’ In
the department which has more than
fourteen hundred members. On the
death of the member this organization
j pays a small death benefit towards fu
j neral expenses and after every four
! deaths uKsesses each member $l. He ex
plained that tills uvuids "interment in
the (Hitters field.”
Byway of contrast he jHilnted out
that the Department of Agriculture is
the greatest research organization In
agriculture of the wealthiest nation in
the world.
Rill Give* Higher Standard*.
Mr. Taylor said that the Welch bill
if enacted would enable higher afand
ards to be employed in selecting per
j sonnel. would tend to reduce costly
turnover, would stimulate the present
personnel and should substantially In
crease the productive capacity of every
employe.
He described It as a "great prosperity
measure,” saying that "the underpaid
employes whose status would be some
what relieved are only part of the pic
ture. The money paid in for the slight
ly Increased salaries would be Imme
diately returned to regular channels of
trade through additional needed arti
cles purchased The peculiar advan
tage and benefit of the bill.” he said,
"would be the inevitable Improvement
In servlre given by the Government
employes. Morale and production
would increase throughout the depart
ments. The unit cost of production
would decline. The welfare of the. en
tire Nation would be affected.”
Assail* "Work for Love."
Mr. Taylor empha*lzed particularly
that thl* measure tends strongly In the
direction of efficiency. "There Is a much
more direct connection between the pay
check and production than has been
understood in the past." he pointed out.
"The love of the work theory in com
pensation of technical men 1* contrary
to sense and economics. It does not
appeal to wive* who have to manage the
household budget.”
Mr. Taylor quoted Controller Oeneral
McCarl as saving that "any salary that
Is normally paid to a truly efficient
Federal employe is but an Infinitesimal
item In expenditures when compared
with the potential saving in such ex
penditures that results from such
! efficiency. *’

D. C. HEADS OPPOSE 1
CITY INCINERATORS
Urge Transfer Station Where
Collectors Could Deliver
Loads of Refuse.
An adverse report on the Capper bill !
providing for the establishment, of
three-modern htgh-temperature in
cinerators within the District was sent
to Congress today by the Commis
sioners.
The present method of garbage dis
posal. the Commissioner* said. Is satis
factory from the standpoint of non
nuisance as well as financial, and that
while additional facilities are needed for
the disposal of miscellaneous refuse. It
is proposed *o remedy this condition
through erection of a transfer station,
where collecting units would deliver
their loads for transportation to an
adequate dumping ground. The Com
missioners also point out that, the Bud
get Bureau has reported to them that
the bill is in conflict with the financial
j program of President Coolidge
"The Commissioners believe that one
Incinerator Is all that is necessary or
I advantageous since sites for three In
cinerators would be exceedingly difficult
| to procure, as In every section there
| would be objections from residents.” the
| report declared.
I “Moreover, the advantage in deereas
! ing the length of haul would not com
' pensate for the additional cost of opera-
Mon, and distribution of this hauling to
j the several points would be more objee
| tlonable than concentration of haul to
! one point, where presumably consider
able area would be required for tills and
: like purposes.
j "The Commissioners are of the opin
! ion that they should continue the pol
! icy of operating a salvage plant as an
aid to the disposal of mLscellaneous
refuse and that In conjunction with in
cineration. a trash plant should be
built to replace the one now leased at
Montello avenue and Mount Olivet road
northeast, which plant should be sufl!-
| elently adequate to care not only for
miscellaneous refuse, but also for refuse
from the Federal Government, business
houses, etc."
