Ey erett Hale, chaplain OF the United

chancery in favor of the petition Of
Representative Brigham. of Marlboro,
for an old age pension of s. a week for
citizens Of good moral character, sixty
five years, or older, who have paid poll
taxes not less than twenty-five years.
Dr. Hale addressed himself not only
10 the general proposition of old age
pensions. but to certain features of tine
pending bill which he thought peculiar
ly adapted TO the application of the
principle to an American community
The poll tax, he said. would be made
popular For the first time a test of
and a reward for good citizenship are
provided.
The burden of caring for the aged
poor, he continued, will be by so much
lightened, and in such a scheme Of
compulsory insurance the effect upon
the beneficiary viii not be to pauperize
him.

Would Not Admit Women.

DR.. Hale said he would not admit wo-
1len TO the benefits of the old age pen
sion at present, because women have
paid no poll tax, nor would he pension
men who are pensioners of the Fed
eIal or State government through othe=
legislation.
The problem of the old man, he said,
is the hardest which charities and pub
lie institutions have to solve. Modern
civilization, he said, demands that one
man shall run as fast as another. Old
men are dropped from factories and mer-
camille establishments when they cannot
keep pace with the younger men. In a
majority of such cases little money
finds the old man home, If such sum-
even though very small-not more than
500 a year-can be relied upon.
The man who remains with his
family" said DR.. Hale, thinks he is OF
some use to the world whether he is OF
not, and he has the comforts of a home
which compares favorably with the best
which institution machinery can pro-
duce -
