Oil Ag Pensions.

Simply speaking, the payment
of an old-age pension, say OF a
hundred dollars each to every
citizen, male or female, who has
passed the age of seventy, does
not involve a heavy burden to
the State.
Let us now consider for a mo-
ment the advantages which the
State, as an organization, would
receive from such a system. As
matters stand, the managers of
asylums, whether for the poor,
or perhaps for the blind, or the
insane. or other invalids, are al
WAYS at their wits ends to know
what they shall do with the aged
people who are crowded upon
them. The almshouses of towns
and counties are filled in the
same way.
Now, all these old people are
better cared for in the homes of
old neighbors, or old friends, very
possibly of sons, or of daughters,
who would receive them and take
charge of them humanely if they
could receive little ready money
for the extra expense, AS So
ciety organizes itself, a very
little money goes great way in
the average household of an
American. The moment it APP
pears that a grandfather or a
grandmother has one hundred
dollars a year to his good, that
moment we shall find that the
burden Thrown upon the State
and town in their asylums is re-
duced by large proportion than
by the charge made by the pen
sions upon the treasury. Thus
the pension system has the great
advantage that it maintains life
in homes, and that it abates the
necessity for great institutions
or asylums. Edward Everett
Hale, in the June Cosmopolitan.
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1903-05-28

ID liar Wheat.

The American Society of
Equity has issued a bulletin to
farmers of the United States urg-
ing them not to sell their wheat
for less than $1.00. The society
has been organized, with Indian
apolis, Ind, as headquarters for
the purpose of maintaining high
er prices for farm products by
cooperation of the farmers of
the country and this is the first
formal demand for prices as a
result of the combination.
The bulletin sets out the claim
that this is an era of uuequalled
prosperity; demand for commod-
dities is Unprecedented, labor re-
ceiving higher wages than ever
before and the demand for and
consumption of wheat is greater
than ever before, with a low
visible supply. The bulletin
then says:
''It is evident that the Ameri-
can farmers cannot produce over
twelve bushels per acre on an
average. which, at SO cents pei
bushel, represents $10.56 per acre
to cover all the work, seed, Irvine,
threshing, marketing, etc, an
amount that scarcely equals the
simplest machine that the farmer
buys, yet which only represents
small fraction of the factory
investment, capital and labor
employed.
"Who dare say, in the face OF
these evidences, and considering
the present higher range OF
values for nearly every other
commodity produced in the coun-
try that wheat at this time and
for the next crop, is not equitable
worth ST. per bushel on the basis
of the Chicago market and that
other farm crops should be on a
corresponding basis?
Farmers, keep this matter in
mind; keep 81 wheat Isl at
Chicago) before you, and you
will get it as sure as the sun rises
in the east and sets in the west.
Above all, however, we emplore
you, don't be fools. When you
get this equitable price let it go.
Sell on the basis of 81 and nc
less, but don't hold for more OF
you may run up an unwieldy sur.
plus, which must eventually com
pei lower prices"
