Far-seeing statesmen realize that what
has happened in the case of military PEN
si0ns Will take place with civil pensions
First they see them issued TO a deserving
few. then To more and as the list grows
il will become a matter of politics which
demand and command support by the
strength Of numbers. It has been this
fear more than anything else that has
kept the civil pension from putting its
nose into the public crib. But with rail-
roads, manufactures commercial insti-
buttons. and other sorts of enterprises
providing pensions for those who have
become superanuuated in their service,
the day cannot be far distant when the
government will be forced to follow suit
by the very stress of circumstances.
When the civil pension does come In
this country it viii appear first in the
shape of a retirement fund. The govern
ment clerks as a whole. and those Of in
dividual branches of the service have
framed retirement bills. They propose
that the government shall be a sort of
nfe-insurance company for them. They
want Uncle sam TO take out a certain
amount of their monthly salary and place
It In a retirement fund to be paid back TO
them either in the shape of an annuity or
IN lump sum, aTter they retire from the
service Each branch of the service has
its own particular retirement scheme.
Some propose that they themselves put
up all the money necessary for the estab-
lishment of the fund. Others, more lib
eral with themselves, propose that the
government shall finance the movement
until It gets on a paying basis A sub
committee Of the Keep Commission has
had actuaries ascertain what it would

working basis. This amount would not
