Old Age Pensions Urged

Indianapolis, Jan. 19.-Among the
many resolutions the delegates to the
United Mine Workers international
convention expect to act upon today is
one favoring an old age pension law
somewhat similar to the one in Eng
land. The committee on resolutions
has planned to recommend the adop-
ton of a resolution to that effect.
Among other resolutions the commit

Another resolution provides for the

more than two dozen of which declare
against preparedness. The question
of presenting one resolutio to the
convention on the question of pre-

committee which is expected to make
report in day or two.
The scale committee will be named

SOCIALISTS Will FIGHT

Washington, Jan. 19.-Every Social
st in the United States would befriend
this country if attacked by a foreign
foe. Representative London. the only
Socialist in congress, told the house
today in an address against prepared
ness.
Attracted by the comparative nov
city of a Socialist on the floor the
house shouted down attempts to limit
Londons time and suppred him on
with questions His declaration that
the Socialists would fight was greeted
with thunderous applause. Repre-
sentative O'Shaunessy of Rhode Island
demanded of London what would be

KANSAN is RIGHT PAY UP YEARLY
Kansas Merchants Would Hold
an Annual Week.
Many Other States Are Adopt
ing Plan Started Here.

Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 19.-Mer-
chants in most Kansas cities are mani
Testing much interest in an annual
! "pay-up week" plan and it is expected
that much discussion will center on
that subject at the annual Merchants
Short course, to be held at the Uni
versity of Kansas, February to IL.
A number of cities in Kansas and
Oklahoma recently have adopted the
plan successfully, and reports received
here indicate that in the coming year
such week will be observed by cities,
throughout the section, in increasing
numbers.
The custom, which also is growing
in popularity, apparently in Iowa,
Wisconsin, Missouri and other states.
has for its purpose the setting aside
of period in which every resident of
community shall make an effort to
liquidate his Indebtedness. Results
obtained in a number of cities indicate
that such program makes for the
general prosperity of a town, the vari-
Gus individuals paying their debts to
each other and to the merchants, who.
in turn, pay the wholesalers and Job
bers, thus eliminating the necessity of
carrying on the books expensive credit
accounts.
In some of the cities in this section
special inducements have been made
for prompt settlement of old accounts.
As a result of such a plan a southern
city of 10000 recently reported col
lectiOns amounting to $4,000, while
in another town of similar size, it was
asserted that $4,000 had been collect
ed at an expense to the merchants of
about 500. In other cities retailers
associations have held credit surveys
to determine if a ''pay-up week" was
necessary.
The subject was much discussed at
the recent annual convention of the
Oklahoma Retail Merchants as
ISOLATION and at the Merchants Short
course of the University of Oklahoma.
At the Kansas Merchants Short
course, subjects offered will cover a
wide range of problems, such as most

in this particular case would have
justified the means but the question
of precedent had to be considered
Chief Parsons does not fix a date for
his resignation and will take that mat
ter up with the mayor later. What he
wants now is an opportunity to get
out for a few days and look for a job
without losing the time
Il have spent too much time on this
Job" said Parsons, ito look for any
thing better. 1 have given my entire
attention to police work. My head
is full of it to the exclusion of ideas
that might benefit me outside of po-
lice work.
City officials are still searching the
city ordinances for some means of al
lowing an increase to Chief Parsons
but unless some plan is devised that
will meet with approval Mayor House
will accept the resignation and Par
sons will step out.
Il haven't a single solitary man in
mind to succeed him." said the mayor.
IT don't know where to look for a man
who can fill his place. Parsons is the
one man who seemed to be to be per-
fectly fitted for the Job"
