MT. PLEASANT DAILY TIMES SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1932.
A machine which works on an entirely new principle has been
; evolved by a Corpus Christj man lor chopping, or hoeing and culti-
1 vating cotton plants after they begin to grow. Formerly a slow,
j cumbersome task which had to be done by hand, to be done effi-

MT. PLEASANT DAILY TIMES
G. W. CROSS, Editor
As an evidence of why the Nation-
al Government has been wasteful of
public funds an investigation shows
that the employes of the government
printing office in Washington are al-
lowed 63 days every year for vaca-
tion with pay. This means that
slightly more than one-fifth of the
312 working days m the year ai’e

the situation and found out that Con-
gress hac- authorized every one fo
these vacation days. And Congress
also found out that many of these
employes are worked during parts of
their vacation and received over-
time pay of 11-2 the scale of wages.
For example: A is on a wage scale of
$8 per day. His vacation Comes
around but instead of laying off he
continues to work and gets in addi-
tion to his regular salary overtime
pay which would mean for those days
he would receive $20 for every eight
hours he worked. Which means that
he could buy a bale of cotton for one
day’s work. An industrious farmer,
working without help in a favorable
year may make 12 bales of cotton but
it will require six months work to do
it. If he was an employe of the gov-
ernment printing office he would only
have to work 12 days to earn as much
as he can make by working 150 Jays
in the cotton field.
And the other departments in
Washington are in nearly the same
fortunate situation as those in the
printing office. They are allowed 30
days vacation and 30 days sick leave.
In one department employing more
than 5,000 presons every one of them,
except three, had been so seriousty
ill for 30 days during the year that
they could not report for duty. It is
said to be very remarkable how they
all recover just when lhe 30 days ex-
pire. The President has recommend-
ed, and Congress will likely agree,
that all these layoffs be allowed and
made mandatory—but without pay.
Manifestly the service will not suffer
for there will be no more layoffs than
formerly, but by not paying for the
layoffs Uncle Ram will bo many mil-
lions to the good.—Marshall News.
