REAL PENSIONS FOR TEACHERS

With the teachers pension bill amended so as to protect those al
ready drawing annuities there is no good reason why the bill should
not be passed. It means putting the teachers pension matter o n a firm
foundation, removing all doubt as to its solvency and giving the
teachers something that they can look forward to with a feeling of
confidence. At the present time the teachers are compelled to pay
their money into something not knowing whether they will ever get
it back again or not. The Pierson bill has been drawn after several
years of study of the whole situation and with the advice of expert
actuares.
Under the Pierson bill the teacher may have TO pay more, but
there is at least the satisfaction of paying for a real thing rather than
a gamble. We have in mind the experiences of the different insurance
lodges that attempted to give the people something cheap, but which
eventually either passed out of existence, wiping out all that the mem
bers paid into them, or were forced to greatly increase their rates so
that in old age, when the burden is the heaviest to bear. the rates had
to be made almost %prohibitivc. 1t ought to be plain to the
teachers and everyone else that merely because a thing is cheap, par
ticularly in the matter of insurance or annuiieS. it does not follow
that ii is the most desirable.
With the teachers pension fund placed on a solid foundation the
teachers can look forward into the future with the mind at ease know
ing for a certainty that when the days of disability come they will
lot be left entirely without means of support.
Now is the time to put an end once for all to this annual agitation
over the teachers retirement fund. That the present fund is unsat-
isfactory there is no doubt; operated in connection with the state PEN
sion fund it is decidedly unfair and not equitable. Fair minded teach
eIS. and most of them are such, realize this and are in favor of the Pier
Sen act. 1t ought TO be passed.

THE EOSSES' BILLS ARE OUT

Determined to regain control of their political affairs by one
means or another. the hi partisan political machine at Trenton has
mapped out a program that is scheduled to go through under the lash
Of the party bosses. With this program carried out the bosses hope to
regain the saddle and dictate party affairs IS of old.
Here are the bills that it is proposed to jam through the ieglsia-
turc sometime between now and the closing hours, probably during
the rush and confusion Of the final session:
Assemblyman Moore's bill No. 157 to repeal the Edge Corrupt
Practices act of last year.
Asscmblyman Seglers S bill, No. 1872, providing for the mutilatlon
of the present method of voting.
Assemblyman McAteers bill, No. 263 Judge Leo Sullivan 5 BID,
providing that the hands of the County Board Of Elections shall be
tied when it comes to appointing election officers, and providing that
from the lists so presented.
Assemblyman Sieglers bill, Nc. 100, to enable election officers to
scorrect" their returns if they think the original returns not just
right, there being no safeguards about the method of correcting re
turns.
These bills have been quietly sneaked out of committee, Assem-
blyman Tattersal, chairman of the elections committee, reporting them
favorably Wednesday afternoon. The program is being put across
one step at a time with ample time between each step to let the public
forget all about them in the meantime. After the bills were introduced
they reposed in committee for some time until the opposition to them
had died out. Now they are quietly slipped out of committee and will.
again rest for a time until conditions are proptious to put them across.
The people back home are watching these bills and the effort of
the bosses to regain their control. I'll S to be hoped that no promising
public career will be wrecked upon them.
