Pension reforms urged to aid United States clerks
Retired United States Treasurer Chaves H Treat urged Congress to create a pension or retirement plan funded by deductions from salaries, arguing clerks have not seen pay increases since 1884 while cost of living soared. He compares U S practice to Australia and highlights ongoing budget deficits and Panama Canal expenses. He presented salary tables and warned that a self supporting retirement program could ease old age needs without broad taxation.
