ONE CENT Contributed
TO PENSION FOR AGED
President Receives Anonymous Gift
and It Is Turned Over
to Treasury.

fund for pensions for the aged has
been started. The first contribution is
one cent.
That contribution was sent direct to
the President of the United States The
Secretary of the Treasury now has Gus
tody of the fund, and is responsible for
its safe keeping.
The fund is apt to languish unclaimed
and undistributed in the national Treas
ury. The donor cannot be communicated
with in any effort to return his gift
to the aged. The letter conveying the
contribution. by post mark and super
scription, indicates the writer posted it
in New York city in the district covered
by station F. There is no address and
the only label the writer gives in the
place of q name is "a citizen.
The government will not of course,
charge itself with the task of collecting
such fund or with it's distribution,
without direction of Congress. Contribu-
tiOns sent from anonymous sources, 1t is
declared obviously, cannot be returned,
and they will be deposited with the gen.
eral fund OF the nation.
So the people generally and the United
States Treasury is just one cent richer.
The aged, who were intended to benefit,
will not be likely to scramble for a part
in the fund or raise any complaint over
it's misapplication to the designated de-
lief purpose.
The cent contributed was a copper
coin Of the date Of 1908.

Col. Judson Quoted.
In the course of his remarks Col. Jud-
son said:
Il claim that the working out of mu-
nicipal problems here SO that the other
cities might come to Washington for tried
and satisfactory practices would amply
repay the country at large for all of it's
local expenditures"
Col. Judson said that he would iken his
ideal of Washington as a model city to a
great demonstrating farm, where, under
the most favorable conditions and under
the guidance of experts. results are Sc

to encourage others, set standard for
them and demonstrate the best methods.
