TO PENSION GOVERNMENT EN-
PlOvEs.

At the annual meeting OF the Ma
tional Civic Federation yesterday. Mr..
Andrew W. Mckee delivered o stirring
address. advocating civil pension
system. Mr.. Mckee spoke as the rep
resentative OF over 100000 men and
women civil service employees Of the
federal government He argued that
an employee who has spent many years
OF his life in the service OF the gov
eminent should at a fixed age be re-
tired on a modest pension. There are
a good many reasons why <his might
be done to an advantage. Gradually
we are coming to recognize the debt
OF society 10 old age. Great Britain
is now developing an old age pension
scheme which will keep from want
every man or woman who reaches an
advanced age. and after years OF hard
work find themselves without a COM
petence. Many of our great railroads
are pensioning their old employees.
In our government departments. Mr..
Mckee argues. the pension system
would work for efficiency. At the
present time the departments are in
numbered by thousands OF old men
and women who are not able TO do
efficient work. and who are kept on
the rolls because the heads OF the
departments have not the heart 10
turn them out without some means OF
support. Old employees keep at work
until they fall at their desks. and
younger men and women become dis.
couraged because OF the lack OF oppor.
tunity for promotion.
There is, OF course. another side to
the proposition. The pension system
would tend to discourage thrift and
put a premium upon waste and in
efficiency. Also IL should be borne in
mind that the thrifty. the hard work
ing and the frugal are those who have
10 bear the burdens OF taxation. How
far ineniciency and carelessness
should be allowed to make OF them
selves a public charge. TO be borne by
the efficient and the careful is a ques
ton which no man can ever answer
accurately.
