PENSIONS PRoLoNc LIFE.
An Important Factor In the Promotion
Of Longevity.

An Important Factor In the Promotion |
Of Longevity.
An important and noteworthy fact
which is to be taken into account by
English economists In the administra-
tion of their old age pension system Is
that pensioners live long. That fact.
often stated In a satiric vein, Is to be
taken seriously, as demonstrated by
statistics and as having an essential
bearing on both the amount OF pen
slons to be paid and the effect Of them
upon society.
A striking demonstration of this is
TO be observed In the records OF the
Friendly Society of Iron Founders in
England. That organization has for
many years been paying pensions to
its superannuated members. In 1885
II was found that the average age
of these pensioners at death was six.
ty-eight years and six months. In
19O6-7 It was seyenty-one years and
three months. Thus the average life
of a pensioner had been heightened by
two years and nine months.
1t does not appear that the general
average of human life in England has
been heightened to so great an extent,
wherefore we must conclude that the
pensions are an important factor In
the promotion OF longevity. That Is
quite natural. OF course, for the en-
joyment Of a pension means better
food and generally better conditions
of life than the superannuated worker
would have without It. as we'll as
greater freedom from anxiety. and
those improved circumstances prolong
| life.
II the same rule operates under the
national pension system, as II proba-
bly, will, though perhaps not to so
marked an extent. the national treas
ury will have more to pay on that ac-
count than Is estimated under the
present expectancy of life.
| This increase In the length OF life
| OF pensioners, while II will add to the
| cost OF the system. Is OF course TO be
regarded with qualification as n be
neticent and desirable result and as al
argument In favor of the system
