THE JACKSON rUCGRUSS-A RGU3, JACKSON, GEORGIA
Letter From Our
Congressman
Capitol Hill, Washington, D. C.,
Fbruary 14, 1942.
My dear Constituents: I am at
last back at my desk here after
a siege of influenza. I was stricken
on January 20th, but did not obey
my doctor’s orders to stay in bed,
and I have paid dearly for it. On
Saturday, January 31st, I returned
to the office, and was summoned to
the bedside of my brother, W. N. T.
Camp, in Newnan, who was critically
ill, and who passed away there the
following Friday. I suffered a re
lapse of the flue on my trip home
and on arrival there I was ordered
to bed and am just now beginning
to feel well.
I have received several letters
from constituents relative to H. R.
3487, amending the Civil Service
Retirement Act, which was finally
passed on January 21st. Ido not
favor the inclusion of elective offi
cers, such as the president, the vice
president, cabinet officers, senators
and congressmen, in the Civil Ser
vice Retirement System, for they
are not civil service employees, and
to include them will place them in
a bad position when demands are
made by various groups for selfish
legislation. I did not vote to place
these officers under the system, and
I shall vote to amend the bill so
as to exclude them.
I am not surprised at the reaction
of the public to this legislation,
for there is complete misunderstand
ing of its general purpose and pro
visions. But for the unwise inclu
sion of elective officers under its
terms, the legislation is unquestion
ably meritorious. It is no “pen
sion” law.
The original Civil Service Retire
ment Act was passed in 1920. At
that time only a small percentage
of government workers, mainly pos
tal employees, were* under the Civil
Service System. A deduction of 3Vz
per cent from their salaries was
made each month and placed in a
retirement fund. At age 65 and
after 30 years service they were
retired and this fund repaid to them
in monthly instalments.
On November 26, 1940, Congress
passed what is known as the “Ram
speck Act’’ under the terms of which
practically all government employees
were placed under the Civil Service
System.
H. R. 3487 was introduced for
the purpose of allowing these new
classes of Civil Service employees to
contribute to the retirement fund
and retire as the postal employees.
The rate of contribution was in
creased to 5 per cent, and retire
ment set at age 70, or at age 60 if
the employee had served 30 years.
The new departure in the bill was
the provision to include elective of
ficers by allowing them to make ap
plication for the privilege of con
tributing five per cent of their sal
aries and become eligible for re
tirement pay.
The bill was favorably reported
to the House by the Committee on
Civil Service, and placed on the con
sent calendar, called up for passage
on December 1, 1941, and as no
member objected to its passage, it
was passed automatically by the
House. It is regrettable that it was
placed on the consent calendar, as
the new departure in the bill was of
such importance in my opinion as
to demand full debate. The bill then
went to the Senate Civil Service
Committee, was favorably reported,
and passed in the Senate on Jan
uary 19, 1942, after debate and roll
call vote. The Senate amendments
were concurred in by the House on
January 21st. portion of the
Act allowing elective officers to be
included in the retirement system is
unwise, and should be repealed.
The rest of the Act, in my opin
ion, is fair. If postal employees are
included, the others should be. The
principle of the government encour
aging our people to lay aside small
amounts each month during their
young and active years to be used
Roberts Arrives
To Direct Soil
Work In County
BUTTS COUNTY AS PART OF
TOWALiGA SOIL CONSERVA
TION DISTRICT WILL HAVE
FULL TIME DIRECTOR
J. B. Roberts has arrived from
Griffin and will become full time
director for Butts county of soil
conservation. Butts county is a part
of the Towaliga Soil Conservation
District, embracing, Spalding, Pike,
Monroe and Butts.
For the present Mr. Roberts has
headquarters with the county agent
in the federal building and will de
vote his time to working with indi
vidual farmers and will assist in out
lining farm planning programs, ter
racing, planting of trees and other
practices. Later he will work with
groups.
Farmers desiring the services of
the soil conservation director should
file application with Mr. Roberts at
the county agent’s office. Already,
Mr. Roberts says, some applications
are on file and these will be acted
on as speedily as possible.
Several farms of the county have
been mapped for soil conservation
practices.
As soon as it can be arranged
there will be meetings in county
centers, Mr. Roberts explains.
Several months ago the people of
the county voted to become a part
of the Towaliga Soil Conservation
District. Terracing, land use plan
ning, planting of crops and trees to
prevent erosion are among the bene
fits of soil conservation work.

after they reach the age of 70 is
sound economy and I support that
principle. If this had been done
in the past years we would not need
old age assistance. Retirement sys
tems are universally recognized and
approved now. Most of the large
business organizations have them.
Our Social Security Act provides it
for civilian workers; our Railway
Retirement Act provides it for rail
road employees; New York, and sev
eral other states, have such a sys
tem for state employees.
Excuse so long a letter.
Sincerely,
