Provision for Dependents.

Dependents Of government employees
left by their death in necessitous circum-
stances were given an allowance. the
salary.
within three years after its adoption
this system was reported by an expert
to be actuarily unsound and the fund it
self tnsolvent. Among the reasons given
for this condition were the following:
1.-The age of retirement (si1ty) was en-
tirely too low.
"The deduction of per cent of the
salary from each employee. irrespective Of
age and length of service, while sufhcient
for an employee entering the service at
the age of twenty-five, was insufficient
older when they began to contribute.
The rate should increase about / per
cent for every additional five years of
age.
contributor all the deductions were in
termingled, and the amount contributed
by the younger employees was paid out for
pensions to older employees, who con-
tributed little or nothing TO their own
pensions.
1.-The payment of gratuities to widows
and orphans-a provision entirely out of
place in a approximation scheme.
Basis of the Pensions.
The pensions paid were based on the
average salary for the last three years
of service. The actuaries believed it
should be based on the average salary
for the entire length Of service.
"A contrfbutory pension scheme can be
devised which will be actuartly sound and
will work successfully, but 1t must be
founded on tried and well settled life in
surance methods: the rate must vary
with the age, and the younger employees
must not be compelled to pay the pen

Majority Stop Payments.

Those who had contributed in the past
were permitted to discontinue their pay

contributions We're refunded with 3 per
cent interest and a gratuity of one

Those who preferred to continue their
contributions could do so. and maintain
their original pension privileges and
rights. Out of 1888 contributors to the
fund. 500 composing the younger en-
ployes, stopped their payments.
In 1902 the pension fund was exhaust

number of Withdrawals there was a de-

was compelled to assume. The endow-

discussion of the attempt to egtab-

public last night. The statement Is as
follows:
CIVIL service retirement legislation is
comparatively old in some Of the young
est countries of the world. New South
Wales and New Zealand have an expe-
r1ence in this line running back over fifty
years. which serves both as a guide and
a warning to other countries. In both
countries the law now in effect has been

Adopt Contributory Plan.

New South Wales established a pen
sion system pure and simple for its civil
employees in 1854, and maintained it for
thirty years on an annual appropriation
of $4,000. In 1854 contributory plan
was inaugurated and employees were COM
PEELED to pay i per cent per annum of
their salaries. All employees were In
cluded except certain minor ones-mes-
sengers, letter carriers. laborers and 9TH
ers in similar employment, who could
contribute or not as they elected. The
government assisted the fund SO formed
by apprOpriating $4,000 annually for five
years in addition to the $4,000 year
that had been paid. Even with this in
crease of revenue the approximation
fund soon became inSolvent.
Retirement was not compulsory at any
age, but was permissible after fifteen
years Of service and arrival at the age
of sixty, or for permanent incapacity.
.'The pension paid was as many six
tieths of the average salary for the last
three years Of service as there had been
years OF service, ranging from fifteen to
forty. Benefits were paid those retired
for incapacity after less than fifteen
years Of service equal TO one months
pay for each year of service. and to
those injured In line of duty so as to
be unable to work again, two months
pay for each year of service, and not less
than sjx months salary.

mails were sold, Morris Williams stat
ed today that greater NUMBER OF tne
better class of horses would have been
sold If they had been on hand
One very noticeable feature Of not
only the Ottumwa market but Of other
large centers throughout the country
is the fact that prices are very low
with no hope of their rising. Mr.. VII
liams stated that in short time the
prices would 60 even lower IN all
probability. This low price condition,
governed by the supply and demand. is
attributed in no small measure, &C
cording to- Mr.. Villa ms; to the fact
that the number of horses is increas-
ing more rapidly than the populatlon,
or in other words supply IS ereater
than the demand. There are 3,OOO,Ooo
more horses in the United States TINS
wear than the comparative increase OF
nop1lation demand and therefore,
horses are down with no chance OF set-
ting up for some time.
