PENSIONS FOR OLD AGE

Washington, July rs. Omitted
Press. )-Old age pensions In for
elgn countries have been the subject
of investigation by Congressman
Frederick Lihdin, Republican, OF
Illinois. He finds that they have
proved successful and he is hopeful
that some such provision for the
care of the aged may be made in
the United States.
Germany was the pioneer in the
movement" he says. with a law
passed in 1889, amended in 1891
and perfected in 1899. The present
law covers 20 per cent of the popu-
lation and is compulsory in many
instances and voluntary in some.
The pension is granted up to $3.50
a year, according to class and week
ly premium paid. Beyond 40 years
of age no incapacity need be shown
to avail the beneficiary his or her
pension.
Denmark fell into line in 1891.
All persons over so years of age are
eligible to pension benefits, with
certain limitations as to residence,
health and record of citizenship.
Laws were passed in New Eng
land at intervals from 1897 to 1908.
when all of them consolidated to
create liberal and enlightened sys-
TEN. Sixthy-ive years is the PEN
sion age, and to all those who are
a minimum competence and
can show 35 years honorable resi-
dence in New England the govern
ment pays $3.50 weekly. The cost
per capita of population is small.
The benefits conferred are great and
not only rebound to the benefit of
pensioners, but to that of society in
general.
Belgium adopted an insurance
annuity and nationally sustained
pension act In 1900. Annuities are
granted according to age and amount
of premium paid. Pensions are paid
to all over IS years of age under
certain prescribed conditions of
want and disability.

THE KANSAS CITY IDEA.

Kansas City has adopted an ad-
vance step in the treatment of city
prisoners. the principle of which
should speedily be extended TO all
state as well as municipal institu-
tons of correction. The prisoners
are set to work on farm at specl-
ned wages, their money in excess of
the nominal sum charged for board
and expenses. being given to those
dependent on them. II is one of the
vital weaknesses of our penal system
that the innocent are made to suffer
more than the guilty. II Is on the
family of the prisoner more than on
himself that the disgrace and physi.
cal hardship fall heaviest. One OF
the important essentials in making
good citizens OF the weaklings who
have transgressed-and transgres-
sions OF the moral as well as the civil
code are invarisble signs of weak.
ness-is TO impress them with q
sense of their responsibility. Il is q
fatal error to permit prisoners tc
consider their imprisonment as set

Italy. France and Austria are
operating systems of annulties and
pensions. Old age relief is recog-
nized in these countries as an insti-
tuition of worth, and the system can
not fail to grow with the advance
of the times.
Australia probably presents the
best example of growth and mod
ernization of the old-age pension
idea. The general plan there is
about as follows: Men over SIS and
women over 60 are pensioned at the
rate of $3.50 and 5000 a week, re-
spectlvely. Restrictions pertaining to
income. residence and character sur
round the application of the law
most effectively. / am in receipt OF
a letter from the American consul
at Newcastle, New South Wales. in
which he says: 1t is the general
opinion that these pensions are a
very good thing and that these laws
are working out satisfactorily. In
order to see for myself the people
receive their pensions, was present
the first of this month and saw a
large number of them paid. They
appeared to be a most respectful LOT
of old people. and l feel certain the
money allowed them each month by
the government is judiciously ex-
pended

England adopted an old-age pension
law in 1908. Under its provisions
all persons over 20 years OF age are
pensionable. II they meet the re-
quirements of regulations as to In

amounts paid run from 25 cents to
