the laborites, whom the liberals are
attempting to win over, that they
would reject any plan which included
contribution from the prospective pen
sicner.
The fiscal feature of the pension
plan is certain to attract much atten-
ton. Premier Asquith estimates that
1t will cost the British government
about $4,000, 900 a year to carry the
scheme into effect. The history of
pension legislation throughout the
world. however, makes it safe to pre-
dict that Mr.. Asquith's estimate is too
low by so per cent at least. This
pension fund, whether 1t be 10000
900 or $5O,OO0,O must be raised
by taxation, and the tax burden in
Great Britain is already so heavy that
the people are groaning under 1t. The
radicals and laborites, however, in
souciantly announce that the finding
of the money for these pensions is the
governments concern and that their
votes will be against any party that
does not favor the scheme. Under the
circumstances, Premier Asquith has
probably gained a new lease of life
for his party by advocating his pen
sion plan, and time alone will reveal
the price that will have to be paid
for It,

OLD AGE PENSIONS.

Premier Asquith of Great Britain
has made a strong bid for political
support for the liberal party, which
has been showing strong signs of los
ing its hold on the British voters, by
proposing for the consideration of Par
Lament scheme and plan for the pay
ment of old age pensions. Controversy
has ragged for years in England and
elsewhere as to the advisability of the
old age pensions plan, and the ques-
ton is still debatable from economic,
social and moral viewpoints, but it
must be admitted that the premier has
played a strong political card in his
proposition to make the system a part
OF his party's government policy.
The Asquith plan provides that all
persons who shall have reached the
age of 20 years without becoming
criminals. lunatics OF paupers and
without having accumulated sufficient
property TO produce an income of
S2.5O a week. shall be entitled to re-
eeiye out OF the national treasury a
weekly payment of s1.25. which is to
he increased 10 $50 In case OF mar
ried couples. No conditions, other
than those named. are to be attached
to this payment. Tho bounty is 20 be

race. color. creed or previous cOndl-
tion. The applicant does not even have
10 prove that he Is a deserving person,
but only to show that he Is 20 years
OF age and does not possess property
SUFFICIENT to produce a weekly income
OF S2.5O.

OMAHA THE MARKET TOWN

certain signs point most posltlVely
to the growth of Omaha in Importance
as a primary market for all manner of
farm products. 1t is not so very long
since the stock yards at South Omaha
were fighting for the right to exist.
Rival markets, long established, re-
sented the intrusion of the new mar
ket and used all their power to crush
it out. The natural advantages of its
location, however, were sufficiently
great to insure it's permanency and
now the Omaha stock market takes
front rank in the world.
The Omaha grain market is going
through much the same experience,
but is surely being established on a
firm footing. AS the packing indus
try developed with the growth of the
live stock market, SO will the milling
industry grow with the development
of the grain market. Nebraska grain
is sure to be ground into flour by Ne
braska mills, just as Nebraska cattle,
hogs and sheep are reduced to dressed
meats on Nebraska soil.
During the last decade the develop
ment of the dairy industry of the state
has been marvellous. Farmers have
been interested to their advantage by
the butter-makers, until now Nebraska
butter is one of the most valuable of
the states productions. The Omaha,
Lincoln and other creameries are turn
ing out annually many millions of
pounds of the very highest grade of
butter. At the present time the price
of this butter is fixed by market
whose entire bulk of the commodity
amounts to less than the output of a
single Nebraska creamery. That this
state of affairs, absurd on its face,
cannot long exist is apparent to all and
the Omaha butter market is just as
sure to take its place among the mar
kets of the world as was the live stock
market and the grain market.
The latest addition to the Omaha
markets is the wool. Western states
have for many years produced the bulk
of the wool of the United States and
the sheep industry seems at present to
be barely emerging from its infancy
More stock raisers each year are be-
coming interested in sheep and the an
nual clip of wool has increased regu-
larly by many millions of pounds. This
wool is at present marketed entirely
on the Atlantic seaboard and the west
ern flockmasters are left at the mercy
of the buyers from Boston and Phila.
delphia. Under the proposed plaT
Omaha Will offer storage facilities tC
these men at such rates as will permit
them to hold their wool and will re
west to secure the material they need
Right at the outset this will remed!
one of the chief disadvantages thu
wool growers have suffered. 1t will
no longer be possible for one man t
come west and make a single offer TO
the clip and give the grower the option
of taking it or leaving it, If th'
Omaha wool market means nothing
else, it means competition for tn,
western wool.
1t is not unreasonable to expect tina
wooden mills will follow the wool mar
ket just as packing houses have fol
lowed the stock market, Touring mill
the grain market and creameries hav
come before the butter market
Omaha's Importance as a market tow
was never more definite than 1t is a
present.
