OLD AGE PENSIONS.

While there has been some discus
sion of old age pensions in the United
States, and the life insurance COM
panies have continued to take care of
all matters of that kind at big
profit to themselves. Canada has es-
tablished a system of providing for her
citizens in their declining years.
In 1908 the Canadian government
inaugurated system of annuities
which at first was under the manage
rnent of the department of trade and
commerce, but is now a part of the
postoffice. The object sought was to
provide old age pensions for Cana
dams on voluntary instead of a COM
pulsory basis. Under the system now
in operation no one can begin to re-
ceive a government annuity until 55
years of age, although the purchase
of such annuity may begin at any
time. The annuity is absolutely the
property of the person for whose BEN
eft it was bought. 1t can not be
mortgaged, sold, traded, or in any
other way endangered
Every resident of Canada is free to
contribute to and enjoy the advantages
of the system. There is no exclusion
on account of sex. no age limit. no
medical qualifications as to health or
strength. The annuitant pays what
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1915-10-30

he can, when be can; but the officers
in charge do all that their official
duties will allow to insure the regular
payment Of premiums as agreed If
for any reason the annuitant has not
been able at 55 years of age to pay
the cost of the smallest annuity al
lowed, his money is not forfeited, but
is returned to him with interest.
The calculations for this system are
based ON per cent interest COM
pounded annually, and no charge
whatever for expenses or management,
the salaries of officers and other out
lays being voted by the Canadian par
hament. Every postmaster has been
made an agent of the annuity system
and is paid a small commission on the
business done through his office. Ac-
cording to the latest report the gov
eminent has made 3,450 annuity con-
tracts, amounting to 100000 year.

The Vandalia railroad, in Illinois,
loaned a shipper $500 at per cent,
on his promise to give the road all his
freight business. A fine of $4,000 for
violating the Elkins law on the subject
of rebates was imposed by the trial
court. and the supreme court affirms
this decision. Clearly, the per cent
was not the consideration for which
the loan was made: that was the
promise of the shipper to withhold his
business from other railroads. 1t is
such cut-throat methods as this on
the part of a few railroads that put
the whole business in bad with the
public and bring about much of the
burdensome legislation of which the
roads complain.
