ton with the institute, is that health
service. insurance and pensions
should not be given as outright gifts.
People don't want things that they
can get free; they will benefit only
from things they want badly enough
to buy
Put the welfare plan on a $3.50
basis, and do it through a Mutual
Welfare Association run by the en-
ployes themselves.
This is the plan many industries
have put into practice; group life in
surance and group health and acct
dent insurance as written by the vari-
GUS insurance companies, and a group
health service such as given by the
Life Extension Institute. to be paid
for Jointly by the employer and the
employe. / combined pension plan
can be ad,led later. but should be
limited to those who join the Mutual
Benefit Association.
How System Works
TWENTY-FIVE cents a week contrib
uted by he employee and rs cents con-
tributed by the employer will buy a
$3.50 life insurance policy. a health
and accident insurance policy paying
any sickness or accident occurring
outside the scope of the workmen's
compensation laws, and a health serv-
ice which gives each member a thor
ough physical examination yearly
"This plan is used for persons earn
ing up to 81, 900 year. Fifty cents
q week, for persons earning up to
$4,000, will provide $4,000 life insur-
anCe, $50 a week health and accident
insurance. plus the health service.
For persons earning over $4,000 the
life insurance policy is $4,000 and the
health and accident payments $50 a
week on payments of rs cents q week.
Benefits Derived
THE hub of the whole thing is that
there is no charity about 1t, but a
$3.50 payment. that rs per cent of all
employees go into the scheme, and that
it be operated by the employees them
selves. Employers benefit because
they need only get per cent in
creased efficiency out of employees
who are well and happy in order to
pay their share of the expense of the
plan"
The Loree plan of compensation,
though somewhat similar to that
originated by Ley, does not cover
health service. 1t also provides for
unemployment insurance for employees
who keep in force two of the three
classes of insurance life, health and
acciden0 at the rate of SIS weekly for
six weeks.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Thomas
A. Edison, inventive genius Of the
century, has offered a scientific bill

This was learned by the publica-
ton Of Edison's testimony on the
Muscle Shoals, Ala, power and nj
trate projects, before the Senate Agri-
cultural Committee.
81 worked in Washington during the
war" the aged inventor told the COM
mittee. 81 found out after a while
that a lot of those fellows that were
running the details of this Govern
ment were false; they were not the
real thing; they were counterfeits.
DRAW up Ske' 5tOn," He Advises
II am surprised that you don't
draw your bills differently" he con.
tinued Draw up a skeleton Of yozM
bill and specify the initial thing ~
have to do, and when that is done
you will find out what the first step
costs.
Now, go ahead and continue It on
by supplement, so you will know the
progress Of all your legislation and
make them show up between each
supplement. You would have saved
five or six billion dollars here and
you would not have got lot Of these
inefficient people.
1T comes in sections and each time
they come for more money you make
an amendment to the act. Let them
have it, but they have to show up.
Under the war administration no
body had to show up. You will have
it showed up by and by.
Always Have Rudiments
you should always pass a bill that
contains just the rudirnents of the en-
tire BILL" Edison urged, then you
have the first start, the instrument
talities you start with to make that
thing function. and spend several mil
lion dollars
when you have got through the
first stage let them come to Congress
and get the additional legislation to
so ahead a little further, and when
you have got through an examination
Of what has been done YOU will know
il there is anything rotten in that,
because you will see how all the
money has been spent.
But the way you do it now you
make the bill and quit and never. hear
anything. and you try to get some
information and you don't get any
az all. They double-cross you all the
time"
