TEACHERS PENSIONS.

Are pensions in general wise? Should
a state pension it's workers? Should
it pay pensions to teachers any more
than to any other class of employees
These are questions especially
pertinent in Iowa at present which are
discussed in a bulletin just issued by
the United States bureau of education.
The immediate purpose of the bulletin
is to describe the pension systems of
Great Britain. but in the course of the
study Raymond W. Sizes. the author.
axes occasion to discuss the principles
underlying all pensions. and especially
teachers pensions in the United
States.
Teachers pensions and pension sys-
TENS. according 20 DR.. Sizes, represent
one phase of what has become uni
versal movement among civilized
peoples-a movement to dispose of the
superannuated and disabled individual
and to rob old age of its economic
terrors.' Pensions for school teachers,
ne points out, have existed in Ger
many in some form or other for two or
three centuries, and in other European
countries for the better part of a CEN
fury or more. On the continent the
benefits of teachers pensions have
often been extended to include widows
and orphans Of teachers In Scotland
a comprehensive system has been de-
veloped. based on scientific insurance
principles. which Dr.. Sizes considers
especially valuable for the United
States
Whether pensions shall be supported
in Whole or in part by the state, or
whether they shall be financed entirely
by the teachers themselves, is prob
lem that has been solved differently in
different countries In Germany the
state finances the entire plan. the
teachers making no contributions
whatsoever. In France the teachers
are heavily assessed to keep the pen
sion system going. In the United
states the tendency is to ask small
Ici! - from lIle teachers. AS q
permanent arrangement DR.. Sizes fayo-s
the German plan. not because he
thinks it any more generous to the
teachers, but because he considers it
better business for the state to finance
and manage the system itself He
shows that in any event the burden is
ultimately shifted to the teachers.
While admitting. therefore, that con-
tributions may be necessary to start
a substantial pension system, he be-
lieves they should be discontinued as
soon as possible. In his opinion con-
tributions from teachers as perrna-
nent feature not only add nothing to
the effectiveness Of pension plan,
but they Introduce needless com
pleXity. they are a source of constant
irritation and misunderstanding. and
they are responsible for a vast amount
Of unnecessary bookkeeping and other
clerical work" DR.. Sizes concludes with
a strong recommendation for a nom
contrioutory pension system for
American teachers

WHY NOT IN IOWA?
lWaterloo Courter.l


The governor Of Minnesota has ap-
pointed q commission Of thirty ctti-
zens to prepare plan for the reor-
ganization Of the state government
in the interest of economy and effic-
lency, which brings the thought that
such commission, properly author
lied and encouraged, could do wonders
with the state government OF Iowa.
There Is no disposition to quarrel With
past legislatures of Iowa, but it must
be admitted that some system could
be devised which would save much to
the state. both in moneys expended and
in legislative effort. The adoption of
the budget system would do much to
simplify the matter of appropriations.
Under the present system. every men,
Der tries to get all he can, and if the
supply is limited he takes what he
can get without reference to the real
needs or worth Of the institution or
scheme to be benefited 1t is a case
of scratching backs to secure the
passage of legislation under the pres
ent system. and this surely ought not
to be the case.

OLD Houses

lDes Moines Register and Leader
they stand in weedgrown grounds
in stretching meadows or beside lone
ly roacways, the empty houses that
nave once been homes and are now
deserted. And there is gentle pathos
IN the sight whether or not we have
ever known their particular hospitality.
J hc.'. is the imposing family mansion
the tiny cottage and the substantial
farm house. By street or roadside, in
town or country. they ara mute tes-
timony 20 that home sentiment among
Us which lies at the bottom of our COM
plicated society
There is 10 other reason why an
old house should affect US enlotionally.
1t isn't the sioping roof, the sagging
doorways or the curtainless windows L.
isn't the honeEsuckles over the porch
or the apple trees in the orchard or the
four o'clocks" along the garden fence.
None Of these things are particularly
appealing except for the reason that
they once meant home 10 somebody,
somewhere. SO most of us turn to look
at them a little fondly.
1t is thus that old houses testify,
IN the lingering traces Of their in
dividuality to something gracious and
Wholesome and long established among
US. 1t is an almost universal response
that answers them with a spirit of
kindred sympathy. And the thought is
reassuring in its suggestion OF stability
and affection in the midst of much that
is flippant and transient. and boast
fully irresponsible. We have not quite
outgrown the need or the capacity for
home making so long as the pathos
of deserted homestead iE not lost to

HOBOES CONF ERENCE TO BE AN
IMPORTANT ONE
The coming conference of the
United Brotherhood Welfare Associa-
ton, the organization of the unem-
ployed, to be held at Hull House,
Wednesday evening, Nov. IL, will be
one of the strangest and yet most i'm
portant meetings ever held in that
historic settlement house.
The brotherhood is trying to ex-
tend helping hand to all the unem-
ployed in the city, and one of the pur-
poses of this conference is to find
ways and means for the down-and-
outs to help themselves. If they can
solve this problem for themselves
they will have conferred a great
blessing.
The organization has also shown
its Importance to the unemployed by
obtaining three-story building at
Congress and State streets This
building will be able to accommodate
many.
But now they are up against the
problem Of getting enough money to
run the place Their dues of 10 cents
a month have never covered the ex-
pense of keeping such refuge. This
problem will be gone into at the COM
ing conference.
Here is their own announcement
of the coming meeting:
Statesmen and philosophers have
been looked to when our Haunted
prosperity was challenged by 5,000,-
900 idle men, and gravely each would
set to work to appoint an inVestigat-
ing committee, compile statistics or
moralize upon the question, their re-
suits being only a verifcation of the
existing misfortunes or a beautiful
outlook some thousand years hence
in grand brotherhood of man.

and itnow remains to be panned into
the glittering reality.
after taking a history of their
own case and observed their symp-
toms, they diagnosed as follows:
Two-thirds of Chicago's winter buns
and tramps have spent at least three
or four of the summer months at use
full migratory work, either harvesting
or working in construction camps. In
the fall they start for the large cities
whose 10-cent fiops and scent stews
are commensurate with their hard
earned winter stake already squeez-
ed travelling from the last job.
Arriving in Chicago their scanty
horde becomes the coveted swag of
the 'jack-roller' and the barrel-house,
and the useful harvest hands and
construction workers of the summer
are transformed by this process into
the sot and the derehct who ,loafs,
begs and steals, and, incidentally,
votes in the winter time Realizing
the cause Of their hunger and rags
and knowing their helplessness to re-
move it they have advanced practi-
cal scheme for avoiding it.
Banding themselves into the In
ternational Brotherhood Welfare AS
ISOLATION, they have already secured
a downtown building for winter
home and are arranging big confer
ence to be held at Hull House, Nov.
IL, where they hope to have present
many of .Chicago's prominent citi-
zens and public officials, with whose
cooperation they look for immediate
success"

If your telephone service has not

is expected to be much better from
this time on. improvements are be-

;. JACK oam, "a Cn1ppeWa 1n01an,
whose rendezvous is about the Nett
Lake reservation and around Tower
when he is among his own people,
came very near getting A.. N. Dimur
in serious trouble last Saturday eve
ming, all because Jack Sam had such
q consuming appetite for firewater
that he could not refrain from taking
it off the person of a paleface who
was altogether too we'll supplied with
it both inside and out. /
Chief of Police Rice came along I
just in time to catch Jack Sam max |
ing off with three quart bottles of |
o. F. c. Taylor whiskey. O. F. C. is
a blend and is warranted to get q |
white mans goat in record time. Its
effect on an Indian, therefore, can
better be imagined than described.
Chief Rice took Jack Sam to jail.
He had tapped one bottle and he and
his side partner, John Good Day, also
from the Nett Lake reservation had
taken a drink. He claimed he had
bought the whiskey from a white
man and had paid him 81 for it. From
the account he gave the police were
able to 60 out and pick Dimur up. The
latter was in beastly state of intox-
ication. He had been employed as q
cookee at one of the boarding camps
of the Canadian Northern near Vir-
ginia.
The pair were hailed into court on
Monday afternoon. Jack Sam alleged
that Dimur had approached him and
asked him if he didn't want some
whiskey, but Sam had told him no.
He alleged that Dimur further per-
suaded him, however, and he agreed
to take any surplus Dimur might
have off his hands for 81. He claim
ed he paid Dimur the money and got
the goods.
Dimur alleged that he was on his
way to the boarding cars. He was in.
toxicated and remembered nothing Of
the transaction except that the two
Indians slipped up behind him ane
took the whiskey out Of his poke
when he sat down on the edge Of tn
sidewalk to rest. He tried to follow
them, but was unsteady on his fee
and the red men made a getaway

Jack Sam didn't tell a very salts

to work and do likewise. He consigr
ed the three quarts of liquor to tn
court officer and told him to destro
it.
Dimur was sober in court and ba<
ly scared. He told the court office
that he was going right back to h
