DRAFT BOARDS TO |
NOW BE PAID BY
THE GOVERMENT
A new regulation, sent out from
Washington by the Provost Marshal i
General on January 9th, repeals the:
formers provisions of the Selective
Service Peculations relative to com
pensation for members of local boards, j
Section 195 provided that members of
local boards might be paid at the ratej
of one dollars per hour, or seven and!
one-half dollars per day, for time uc-1
tuall.v expended in the performance
of the duties of the hoard; the total
compensation, however, not to exceed,
one hundred and fifty dollars for any
one month. Hy the provisions of the
new regulation, local boards are to be
paid thirty cents for each registrant
to whom the questionnaire is mailed
and who is finally classified by the
board. This regulation was placed in
effect by a telegram from the Provost
Marshal General. The. telegram an-1
nouncing the change in the regula
tions reads as follows:
“ I his oflice has been urged repeat
edly and insistently by members of
local boards and by other persons in
authority throughout the country con
nected with administration of the sel-i
ective service law to place the salary
and expense feature of the classifica
tion system on a unit basis so far as
possible. These requests have been
heartily endorsed by every state offi
cial, connected with the administra
tion of the law, with whom it has been
discussed; particularly the effort has
been made to (induce) local boards
furnish calculations and estimates of ‘
the cost of their work. Many mem-j
hers of local boards and other per
sons have renewed their offers and
pledges of gratuitous service; man)
others have made estimates which in
dicate a careful investigation of the
work to be performed and the season
able cost thereof; but a considerable
numb* r, regardless of the size of reg
istration in the respective jurisdiction
have made their estimates on so ex
travagant a scale that the total cost
could not i>e paid out of any appro
priation which Congress would be*
willing to make or which the people j
of the nation would approve. It isj
necessary not only that every person
connected with the administration of
the selective draft law shall be con
servative in the expenditure of public
funds. The nation is at war, person
al sacrifices are being made on every
hand. The soldiers who are being sel
ected by local and district boards have]
-
given up comfortable homes have sev-j
ored home ties, in many cases have
been delighted to sacrifice large in-:
comes in order to work and fight for
their country twenty-four hours a day
for thirty dollars per month. Most of
these men are willing to serve for ev
en less or lor nothing. They are now
( nduring or will hereafter endure suf
fering and hardships anti in many
cases compelled to sacrifice their lives
or their health. Therefore it is not
unreasonable to request the great ar
my composed of local lvoard members
to meet the govornmc ut and co-oper
ate with it in the niauec of minimum
cost. This is their country, they are
part of its army, and it is confidently
expected that they will give the gov
ernment in the future as they have in
the past the best that is in them, and
that they will receive compensation
only to the extent that may be neces
sary in their condition of life. In com
puting* a unit cost, this office has en
deavored after consultation with many
bo a I'd members and state officials, to
fix upon a unit cost, the total of which
will equal the compensation which
We are under state 1
supervision and the f
law does not permit
us to guarantee our I
rate but for over 16
years we have never n
paid less than— ^

would have boon a proper charge un
der the regulations. Therefore, a re
gulation has boon approved by the
President fixing the aggregate com
pensation to ail the members of a lo
cal board upon the basis of thirty
cents for each registrant finally clas
sified. It will b«* observed that in ab
sence of other distribution ^thereof
among the members which may be
determined upon by unanimous vote
of a local board, the aggregate of the
unit cost will lie divided into equal
portions between the members of the
board. It will also be observed that
the hoard may by unanimous vote
change this proportionate distribu
tion so that one or more members may
receive more than his proportionate
fraction while others may leceivo loss.
This provision is made not lor the pur
pose of permitting hoards of which
some members are rendering grati
tous service to vote an amount which
may have been received by them to
the other member or members, but it
is intended to be applied by boards
only in those cases which for one rea
son or another sometimes arise, where
the greater portion ot tin* work is nec
essarily performed by one or another
of the members of the board. All ad
jutants general are urgently request
ed immediately to give the widest
publicity not only to the new regula
tions but to the reasons for its pro
mulgation.”
