FRENCH OLD AGE PENSIONS.

The French government began prac-
ticalIy to consider the adoption of an
old age pension system for WorhlnSmeh
long before the British government dld
so, and it has delayed final action upon
the measure until long after the latter
but the greater deliberation appears TO
have been productive Of better results,
the plan which is now about to be en-
acted in France being free from some u
the grave imperfections of the British
system and marked throughout by
fine degree of thoughtfulness and rea-
son. incidentally, the measure is trlD-
ute to the value of a second chamber
in a national legislature, since, While 1t
was first drafted by the Chamber or
DEPUTIES. it has been almost completely
rewritten by the Senate. to its very
great and universally conceded improve
ment.
+ In Great Britain the pensions are pald
entirely by the state. The french
scheme, on the contrary. provides for
participation in the cost by both the
workingmen and their employers This
is the logic of Mr. Viviani, the Minister
of Labor. and of Mr.. Ribot, the chief
reviser and advocate Of the bill in the
Senate: There should be a pension SyS-
TEN. to avert the evils of Indulgence and
dependence The men who are to be
pensioned should contribute to the fund,
in order to constrain them to thrift and
provision. Their employers should con-
tribute to it, because the men who are
to be pensioned contribute by their labor
to the production of the employers
wealth The state also should contrib
ute to it, because both employers and
employees contribute to the increase Of
the national resources. The three funds
thus secured are to be united and capt.
talized, 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 contrib
ute 81 so a year to the fund, each
woman 81 20 and each boy under eigh-
teen years 80 cents, and in each case IN
equal sum is to be contributed by the
employer, while a sum equal to both
the employees and the employers is 70
be granted by the state. No one will
be entitled to full pension until he or
she has been q wage Garner for thirty
years and has reached the age Of sixty
five years. though a pension from only
the employers and employees contribu
tons may be claimed at the age Of fifty
five. All wage earnerS in the nation.
excepting railroad employees, miners and
members of the naval reserve, who are
otherwise provided for, will become
beneficaries of the system, and also
many tenant farmers and small land
holGers-in all fully tWo-fifths of the
entire population.
On the whole the scheme, with its
carefully worked out details, appeals
more strongly TO favorable consideration
than any other of the kind Of which we
have knowledge. and it may be expected
that the French government, with its
marvellous genius for administration,
and the French people, with their I'M
rivalled industry and thrift, will apply
and operate the system in a manner to
enhance that general prosperity which
makes France one of the most Self-re-
liant and most enviable Of nations.

1.-THE PhiIadelphia Record" n

"The Philadelphia Record" makes the
strange assertion that the election Of a
Republican to represent the goth Con-
gress District of Pennsylvania "is a
shameful miscarriage of popular suf-
''frage." The voters Of that district have
four times honored their present Repre-
sentative with substantial maiorities.
Haven't they right to elect the man
whom they prefer? How can there be
"a miscarriage of popular suffrage"
when the man who gets the majority Of
the votes also gets the office?

TMO.THLRDS NOT NEEDED.

In announcing the vote of the lower
house of the Illinois Legislature on the
income tax amendment TO the federai
Constitution Speaker Shurtleff said that
the question had been raised whether a
ma iority in each branch was suf1clent
TO Iatify the amendment. lie lntlmateu
that possibly a tWo-thlrdS vote IN inc
affirmative was required for ratification
The Constitution itself gives no war
rant for such an opinion, The section
providing for amendments says:
The Congress, whenever two-thirds Of
both houses shall deem 1t necessary,
shall propose amendments 10 TINS Con-
stitution or on the application OF the
legislatures of twO-t thirds of the several
states. shall call convention Tor propoS-
ing amendments which in either case
shall be valid to all intents and purposes
as part of this Constitution When rasl-
fed by the legislatures OF three-1ouflhS
Of the several states. or by conventions
in three fourths thereof, as the one OF
the other mode Of ratification may Ee
proposed by the Congress.
Although the exceptional majority OF
fvo-thirds is required in each house CT
Congress in order to submit an amend
ment. and ratification must be made Oy
the legislatures of three-fourths OF the
states. it is clear that each state ieSiS-
lature is left to act according to the
Judgment of majority. 1t is enough II
each branch casts majority vote for
Constitutional amendment. The Gov
ernor of a state is not required TO add
his assent and is not permitted to inter
nose veto.
