NATION WIDE CAMPAIGN FOR OLD
AGE PENSIONS is NOW IN PROGRESS

this country. In this way he hopes
to arouse favorable sentiment from
which members of congress will hear
in due time.
After describing the provisions and
results of the old age pension systems
in vogue in Germany, England, Den
mark. New Zealand. Belgium, Italy,
France. Australia and Canada, the let.
ter says:
81 believe this plan will prove an
economical one; that it will cost the
taxpayer of America less to pension all
worthy men and women over 65 years
of age who are in need than to main
tain them in poorhouses and charita-
BILE institutions, and it seems as if a
higher standard of morality and plane
of civilization would result.
Dread of poverty in old age would
be removed forever from the minds
of millions, and many incentives to
dishonesty in young and middle age,
SO powerful under the modern strain,
would disappear with the assurance
that a sober, Industrious and reputa-
BILE life would lead to an estate Of
honor in declining years"
The revenue for pensions should be
derived from a graduated income and
inheritance tax. Mr.. Lundin believes,
and pensions should be paid only to
American citizens of 20 or % years
residence who have been industrious
and who have not been convicted Of
any crime.
The congressman has pending in
the house a resolution authorizing an
investigation of the old age pension
systems abroad and report of their
operation.
