A publication issued at Washington, D.C. under the title, "National Welfare Union" devotes its leading space to condemnation of Uncle Sam for not paying higher salaries and points to those who have charge of 1,000,000 acres of land, are only paid $2,132 per year, or a little more than $175 per month. The article denounces the federal government for "using pushcart methods" in conducting its business and demands higher salaries for federal employees. We have noticed that the federal government has never found it necessary to draft men or women for these positions and that there is an average of about 10 applicants for every federal position. The hungry horde of federal office seekers evidently thinks the salary better than they are capable of earning in any other way. If the pay were reduced so that about half of those now employed would have to seek other employment, the country would fare much better. It is shown that one person out of every 68, now earning a living in the United States, is a federal employee. In other words, every 67 workers in The United States is supporting one federal employee who is drawing a far better salary than the average paid the other 67.
