Derived From Assessment.

The Indian civil service has a pension
system, the fund for which is derived from
per cent assessment on the salary of
the employees. Egypt also has good sys-
TEN. No pension paid can be over 5000
per year. For the lower-priced employees 1t
is three-fourths of the active salary and for
the higher grades one-half. Thirty-five
years is the required length of service be
fore a pension can be drawn and sixty-five
the age of compulsory retirement.
The big private corporations of this coun-
try are ahead of the government In pen
sioning ord employees Many of the big
railways have already adopted it after
studying both government and private
methods abroad. The Illinois Central gave
$3.50 coo the first year to start its pension
fund and appropriates SiOo.ogo yearly 10
keep it up. Other big lines like the Penn
sylvania, the B. and o. and the Chicago and
Northwestern have gone into it. and the
general verdict of the officers Is that II Is
good investment; There IS a mint Toe
compulsory and voluntary retirement and
many of the letters of application contain
the phrase Il apply for retirement because
/ feel that I can no longer continue IN &C
tive work and do justice to both myself
and the road" The roads find that IL
tends to keep the men in the service and
gives them a greater interest in the COM
pany's work.
On the other hand. II has peen founc
very hard to evolve plan In private en-
ployment ar any rate where the salary OF
the employed may be assessed to help out
the fund The scheme would seem easy on
the face Of It, but there are SO many quail
flying details to be arranged, and there is
always so much dfssa abstraction on the part
of employees who want TO quit the service
and want their insurance investment re-
turned them. that II has been found i'm
possible to make the plan work in prac-
tice.

The German System.

In Germany the pension Is small and In
no case reaches half the salary received In
active service Any official is eligible for
nension who has served the state for ten
wears. and who has reached the age Of
-sixty-fiye. Then years of service entities
the holder to pension of ffteen-sixtieths
of his last salary. One-sixtieth of the an
nual salary is added for each year of active
service. but no pension Is higher than
forty-five-sixtieths of the last active-list
salary
Provision is made for widows and chill
dren by the payment Of one months salary
or pension to the survivors and then by a
special pension fund created by an assess
nent of per cent on the salaries of all
married officials. There are many details
that the law provides for, but those are the
main provisions. The fund Is paid by the
state, with the exception of the married
mans assessment referred to.
The compulsory working mans insurance
Is also open to other workmen and small
employers not compelled by law to sub
scribe. The pension In the form of small
annuity becomes operative at the age of
seventy or from previous physical disable
ity. The premiums on this sort Of insur-

cents a week, paid half by the employer
and half by the employe, unless otherwise
specially stipulated. The average amount
of the disability pension thus paid In 1854

In Force Fifty Years.

In France the present law regulating civil
pensions has been in force about fifty years.
1t is an assessment plan. The employe
pays one months salary on entering the
service and afterward an assessment of .
per cent on his annual salary. There is
also an addition of one-twelfth of each an
nuaI increase in salary eXacted. A differ
ence in the ages for retirement are made
between the active and sedentary branches
of the service, the difference being in favor
of the former. Pensions average about half
of the last active salary, but in no case
amount to more than three-fourths OF the
active salary. There are retirements for
disability incurred in the service, and pro-
vision is made to waive all age consider
atoms when disability is incurred by some
especial act of bravery.
There IS also in France a good system
of annuities under strict government super
vision which help to swell the pension.
All the countries of Europe, even Russia,
has a civil service pension of one sort or
another. That of Russia is drawn from the
imperial treasury The schemes are SINH
lar in general outline, though they differ
in detail to meet local requirements. 1t Is
generally agreed that the German system
works to apparently the greatest satisfac-
ton of the beneficiaries.

Civil Servants in Great Britain.

Pensions to civil servants in Great Britain
are small, but are paid out of the national
treas ury without expense to the employe
during his term of active service. He is en-
titled to a pension after ten years Of service.
He may retire at any age on satisfactory
proof of Ill health At sixty his retirement
is voluntary but at sixty-five 1t is compul-
sorry. He may, after retirement, engage III
private business without forfeiting his PEN
sion This is true of nearly ell civil PEN
sioners In other countries, but In some there
is a provision that the employment must be
compatible with the dignity of the position
previously held"
Since the pension in the British service
is very small there have been several big
mutual civil service insurance companies
formed with the consent of the govern
fnent to supplement the small retired pay
The largest of these is the Civil Service AS
surance Society, in which over 20.O39 poncleS
