U. S. Government Has 946,885 Men on Large Payroll
Wages Paid by Uncle Sam Total More Than Billion Dollars Says U.P.Survey
AVERAGE WAGE. $1,575
Washington. Feb. 5. —(UP)—Uncle Sam's pamphlet has upon it the册件 of 946,885 men and women. They receive an average annual wage of $1,575, for approximately $1,494,600,000. They estimate of the bureau of the budget.
This army of employees exceeds the population of the State of Oregon. It includes men and children in the United States collects a salary from the federal government.
The payroll is so large and the number of employees so great that there is no bureau in all of the government machinery that can say accurately just how much money is going out, however, has gathered data from such widely varied sources as the budget bureat, the Civil Service commission and the Library of Congress, which revealed in fairly accurate figures the magnitude of the government as a labor employer.
On June 10, 1931, the end of the final fiscal year, there were 29,172 more employees of federal departments, buil-
dings and schools in the state when the boom was in its peak.
An Increase Since 1927
Reduction in taxes in the size of the army, demand for governmental names on federal payrolls has increased every year since 1927. The number employed today is greater than the number of men of age and immediately after the war.
The total of 946,855 government employees does not include hundreds of thousands of others who, indirectly are paid with federal funds. The great majority of those paid indirectly are hired by contractors, who are at work on government projects. The number is mounted from half a million upwards.
A comparatively few of the government's employees work at its "home office." the District of Columbia. In its report on the employment in the district, the National Civil Service commission listed 71,693 then and now working in the district as competed to 56,144 outside Moreover, this report did not include 55,224 regular federal workers, that are employed by whom are part of Washington.
Any Report Is Estimate
Any report by the size of the government payroll must of necessity be divided into departments, commissions and boards that now have a hand in the government of the United States, there is not one that has any power over the amount of money paid to government employees each year. "Only a rough estimate" was the budget bureau's decision that the ranged tailed on $1,491,000,000.
Within the very near future, however, the government will know more about the effects of climate change and early activities began to spread into almost every field. The budget bureau is even now in the midst of a survey which is expected to furnish this information.
The fact that one know how much money Uribe杉 pays his employees is not a reason to sit behind the bureau, but rather that of congress. Under its guiding hand the government has grown and cooled with the passage of laws that of the Congress itself. And when congressmen are discussing the pay-reall, their guesses are seldom close to the truth.
Dangerous to Estimate
If it is dangerous to estimate the federal payroll, it is 10 times more so to estimate the total number of all government county and municipal, and the amount of tax money they receive in wages each year. However, it has been estimated that in 1926 there were 2,883,696 full time government employees who received a total of $3,898,640 for their
services that year. Those figures ... clude Federal, state, city and county employees.
All of which means, according to the editors' interpretation of their own estimate that one out of every 11 wage earners works in the course of the year, a public employee, being paid with the money he earns, posts in taxes postage stamps and fines.
Camel Trains Smuggle Gold
Abandonment of Gold Standard Causes Sales To French Agents
Cairo, Feb. 5—(UP)—New drama in the form of gold-smuggling by camel convoy has come to the Egyptian deserts and caused the Camel Corps to redouble its vigilance in its new tale that includes the government's gold ban expect.
A considerable quantity of the $74-
000,000 gold in Egypt, most heavily
distributed among the sons of the
country since the government
abandoned the gold standard in Sep-
pember 1935.
The burning sands of the Sinat Desert have resounded to the crunch of camel convoys pursued by the Egyptian army. The convoys made, but many big convoys have gotten through to Palestine and thence to Syria, where the gold is sold to French
Most of the gold left in Egypt is in the possession of the peasants in the form of coins, ingots and ornaments. Many have felt the true of the high price for sold now being offered in Europe, but have sold their belongings to appallment.
The Arabs in Transjordanian and paid in gold by the British government and their services during the World War, are known to be disposing of their
WASHBURN DISCOVERS LIST OF COLLEGE COSTS IN 1883
Topeka, Feb. 5—(UP) A frantic preamble search for a text book in Crane Observatory the other day led to the discovery of a list of college expenses in the "good old days." The indictment, written in a Washburn College bulletin dated 1883.
Tuition for the fall term was $12, winter term $10, and spring term $8. Board was listed at $2.50 a week and room rent ranged from 25 to 50 cents per hour. A government of 1913 urged all students who owned bicycles to bring them to school, as Tapoka was well equipped with paved streets. It indicated that a student's bicycle would save money and keep the school a fine form of healthful recreation.

The room was decorated in military fashion with P.O.T.C. banners, sabres, and flags placed on the walls and about the fireplace.
The invitations which have been sent out for the depression party to be given tonight by the department seem to have been seen to carry out the idea of strained finances by cartoons showing the condition of students affected by hard times and a blank page.
Mrs. George C, Shaad and Mrs. F. H. Guild received the guests at the door. Following the program refreshments such as cocktails were served from a table laid with a lace cloth and set with silver service.

During the afternoon contributions to the scholarship fund were made.
