Show I " "" : " ' I K Uncle Sam's Payroll BY SCOTT C. BONE A Jttt and' half after the armlatlce the War Department carrlei on It paTlI 300,000 civilian employes! The Mary Department etill carries a civilian roll ot ltM.ueo, i which exceeds the number ot odlccrs and men bolonglng( to the Amor- I lean nary! ' I According to the latest estimate, tho grand, total ot employes ot I the government It 769,870. In Washington, tho capital ot the nation, 102,120 civilians aro still 'drawing pay from Uncle Sam, as against 39,000 when war was I declared In 1917, , And in the tace ot all this, with the departments so congestod with employes that they are In each other's way, tho postmaster general gen-eral recently Increased his force' largely. ' Even tho Civil Service Commission Is unable to furnish accurato figures touching lhe civil list and frankly admits It. Yet the country Is told through official publicity channels ot tho government that tho gigantic war machine, which Is costing the taxpayers so dearly, Is being reduced. The department- heads, Instoad of recognizing tho need of curtailment curtail-ment and tho putting on ot brakes, without exception aro submitting estimates which call for Increased appropriations, nut Congress a j Republican Congress Is pruning these estimates by tho millions and forcing a reductlfin of the civilian roll by' reducing tho appropriations. Representative Slcgcl, who presented a startling array of tlgurcs to tho House, Said: "No official In a supervising capacity In any department has coma forward with any real action showing that ha has endeavored to reduce the force under htm and to attain, tho high standard ot cm-clency cm-clency the government should havo at all times. Ofllclals do not seem to realise that economy in government Is Imperative. Our burden ot taxational out of reason. Investigations show the urgent need ot a - real up-to-date budget system. st-iv "While there are by far too many government employes the aver- X3M age employe Is underpaid and many have lost their enthusiasm tor nC government work. On the other hand there are many who render "Hr most eSklent jervlce on less than a living wago. Tho departments need new chiefs who will determine to keep .those who are ettlclent I and accessary and discharge without delay thoso who can be spared I I and who are Inefficient.
