Ottawa, Can, Dec. 24.-The Canadi
an annuities act, which was passed by
that government in 1908, and which
provides facilities whereby Canadian
citizens can make provisions for pen
sion, when they become too old to
work, has proved SO successful that
the authorities are taking steps to in
terest the large manufacturers in the
scheme with the hope that the laboring
men may reap these benefits through
the activity of their employers.
Since Sept. i, 1908, there has been
paid into the government annuities
branch of the department of commerce
and labor, 1911 1856.
The annuities act embraces all wage
earners, regardless OF the smallness of
the wage. and the alient features in
buying an annuity is that the purchas-
er invests his savings in making the
best possible provision for old age.
while the government is the trustee of
the funds
Features Of the Act.
In the act, annuities are purchas-
able under two plans: First, whereby
all payments, with per cent COM
pound interest, would be returned to
legal representatives: second, whereby
the return contingency is eliminated,
thus necessitating smaller payments
The earliest age at which payments
on account of an annuity may be made
is IS. No annuity will be paid until
80 xv,S1l
exceed the sum of 5000. But as the
object primarily is to supply an income
when earning powers have ceased. pro-
vision is made that in the case of in
validity or disablement the annuity. il
| not less than $50, will be paid from
that time. Should the amounts paid
in be not sufficient to purchase an an
| nuity of $50. all payments made, with
per cent compound interest, will be re-
turned to the annuitant or his legal
representatives.
One of the features connected with
the act is that the annuity cannot be
seized for debt or forfeited in any way
There are no lapses or penalties, bu
amounts paid in can be withdrawn
otherwise the purpose Of the act would
be defeated.
Perhaps the prominent feature Of tn
system is the elasticity of payments
Payments may be made OF % cents PEI

time, weekly, monthly quarterly o
yearly. After periodical payments o
any time the contract may be complet
ed by a single payment Annuitie
may be purchased for members of tn
family, with the stipulation that tn
annuitant die before the annuit,
is payable, the payments will be re
turned to the purchaser or to his lega
representatives. When the annuity il
due it can be arranged that one-hal
shall be payable to the wife during he
life. A last survivor annuity may b
purchased to include self and wife
which annuity will be paid so long a
either is alive.

END OF CONTRACT LABOR
Governor Stubbs VIII Have No More

After a long conference today with
Warden Haskell and the penitentiary
board, Governor Stubbs announced
that il was definitely decided not 10

the care of that states prisoners an
other year, even in the event that
such a contract is offered by the new
state.
With the departure of the Okla

the past No new contracts of this
kind will be entered into and the sys-
tenn will pass away with the expiration
of the present contracts.
W hen asked about supplying coal to
the state institutions the governor said
he did not know what would be done
about that matter at this time. With
the Oklahoma prisoners gone II

all in cold weather. The governor de-
clared that experience with the new
conditions at the prison would have
to decide future plans as regards Ia

HE LIKES POSSUM.
Taft Says 1t Did Not Disturb Digestion
or Sleep.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 16.-'Did you see
the way the president-elect ate possum
and 'taters' last night?''
This was the prevailing greeting in
rain drenched Atlanta today.
And Mr.. Taft said:
well, I certainly like 'possun. I ate
very heartily of it last night and 1T did
not disturb in the slightest my diges-
ton or my Sleep"
Beginning his day with reception to
the board of governors of the chamber
OF commerce Mr.. Taft was made to
know in very certain terms that his re-
marks last night, particularly about the
rule that should govern him as to fed
eral appointments in the south-to select
men of standing in their own commune
ties-was the most valued promise which
could have been made. The statement
met universal applause. The days round
of speeches and receptions began early
at the Georgia chronological school. To
the students the president-elect made a
characteristic speech. Later he spoke at
g. big meeting held in the Baptist
church The meeting was opened by
the audience singing America, Mr.. Taft
joining in the singing.
University education for the leaders of
the negro race, for their physicians and
professional men and Industrial and
primary education for the body of
workers composing the balance of the
race was the note struck by the presi-
dent-elect.
with your Efforts added Judge
Taft. ''to uplift yourselves have the
deepest sympathy. I say as the COM
ing president that must stand as the
representative of all the American
people. The president of the United
States can have no more sacred func-
ton than to speak words of encour-
| agement and hope to assist your own
efforts. Fate in the past has not been
kind to you and the whole American
people has the highest obligation of
| trusteeship and guardianship for your
| upIift.
81 say to the colored men and wo-
| men of this country that hard as your
lot has been and hard as the road is
| likely to be in the future, it viii be a
road onward if you abide by your con-
sciences and by ideals of self restraint
and that you will attain a condition
you hardly dream of today.
Every one OF you knows that noble
and sympathetic men and women in
the south have been of the greatest
aid to your development and that you
will develop faster and faster through
the efforts made by the white race to
aid in your uplifting"
