In New South Wales and in Victoria
there have been pensions plans in exis-
tence since 1901, modelled on the New
Zealand system The main difference
between the plans Of these two colonies
lis that in New South Wales a properly
qualified person Is entitled to d pension
even though be is able to work when
he reaches sixty.five years Of age, and
In Victoria ii he IS still able TO work
at that age he is excluded. The result
of comparison Of the two plans in
operation will show that this difference
Is a large one. n 1905 thirty eight per
cent. Of those eligible BY age received
pensions in New South Wales; only
sixteen per cent. Of those who had
reached the age mark received pensions
III Victoria.
The conclusion to be drawn from the
face Of these figures Is that men do
not become infrm and helpless so early
as we suppose. The observance Of this
fact has mace d great saving to Vic
toria For New South Wales, with 3d.
900 persons Of sixtyfye years or more,
paid out S2,453. 900 in 1905, while Vic
toria, with 6s,7n0 persons over sixty
five, paid ont only Sg53,000. Inasmuch
as there has always been discussion
whether the age at which pension be
comes eligible should be sixty-iive or
seventy, the working out Of the Victoria
plan is significant w. Grid, in
