OLD-AGE PENSION.
France Has Finally Produced Sys-
tenn Superior TO Great Gritain's

tenn superior TO Sreat 6TitainS
The French government began prac-
tically to consider the adoption of
an Old-age pension system for work
ingment long befort the British gov
eminent did so. and il has delayed
tnal action upon the measure until
long after the latter but the great
or celebration appears to have been
productive of better results, the plan
which is now about to be enacted in
France being free from some of the
grave imperfections of the British
system and warked Throughout by
o fine degree Of thoughtfulness and
reason. Incidentally. the measure is
tribute to the value of a second,
chamber in a national legislature.
since. while il was first drafted by
the chamber deputies. il has been al
most completely rewritten by the SEN
ate. TO its very great and universal
conceded improvement.
In Great Britain the pensions are
paid entirely by the state. The
French scheme. on the contrary. pro-
vides for participation in the cost by
both the workingmen and their EN-
ployers. This is the logic of Mr.. Ri
bot, the chief reviser and advocate
OF the bill in the senate. There
should be pension system. 10 avert
the evile of indulgence and depend
ence The men who are to be pen
stoned should contribute to the fund.
in order to ccntrain them to thrift
and provision. Their employers should
contribute TO il. because the men
who are to be pensioned contribute
by their labor TO the production OF
the employers wealth. The state
also contribute to it, because both EN-
blowers and employees contribute to
the increase of the national resources
The three funds thus secured are 10
be united and capitalized, because
that is the only sound and prudent
disposition to make of so vast fund.
The bill provides that each man
who is a prospective pensioner shall
contribute $3.50 a year TO the fund
each woman $l20. and each boy I'M
der eighteen years 80 cents. and in
each case an equal sum is TO be con-
tributed by the employer. while sum
equal to both the employees and the
employers is to be granted by the
state. No one will be entitled to a
tull pension from only the employers
and employees contributions may be
claimed at the age of 50. All wage
earners in the nation. excepting rail
road employees, miners and members
of the naval reserve, who are other
wise provided for. will become bene-
ficiaries of the system. and also many
tenant farmers and small landholder
in all fully two-fifths CT the entire
population.
/ On the whole the scheme, with its
carefully worked out details, appeals
more strongly to favorable consider
alton than any other of the kind of
which we have knowledge, and il
may be expected that the French
government, with its marvellous GEM
us for administration. and the French
people, with their unrivaled industry
and thrift, will apply and operate the
system in a manner to enhance that
general prosperity which makes
France one of the NEST self-reii3nt
and most enviable of nations.-kew

Union Pacific VIII Provide Booths
and Transportation IL Products
Are Secuted.

Either the Omaha Commercial club or
some other public spirited body will have
20 get busy right away IL Nebraska Is to
have q creditabie representation at the
PittsburE and Chicago land shows.
The Union Pacific railroad has rented
booths and Ia prepared to lit them up at
both shows, as we'll as providing transpor-
tation free for all exhibitA going east and
coming back. Those who are interesting
themselves in the matter had concluded to
take the present Douglas county display
at the carnival and transport It to Pitts
burg and Chicago intact. But an obstacle
arose in the fact that the displays from
the various precincts Of the county are
made by individuals who have spent their
own time and meney on gathering and
preparing them. Hence the owners are not
ready TO let go Of their prize possessions.
The railroad man who have been giving
the proposed displays their attention feel
that the Union Pacific has done everything
it can reasonably be expected to do. and
unless somebody or some organization steps
in to buy the displays as Jney stand In
the different precinct booths they will be
broken up at the close Of the show Sat-
urday.
Good judges assert me Douglas county
display Is worthy to be SHOWN anywhere
against the products OF any section. and
photographs have been taken to make sure
that . pictorial representation can be
