n. L. ROWLEY DELIVERS
WELL PREPARED LECTURE
= ON OLD AGE PENSIONS

About 60 persons were present at
the Congregational Church last even
ing to hear Mr.. H. L. Rowley speak
on Old Age Pensions. The lecture
proved to be both interesting and in
structive and showed considerable
thought and preparation on the part
of Mr.. Rowley.
One of the points emphasized by
Mr.. Rowley was that after people
had done their part in helping to
build up the country and had raised
families they were as much entitled
to financial aid from the government
as the soldier who had enlisted on
the battlefield to help save the coun-
try or he who has raised armies.
Quoting the poem, Somebody's Moth
err" he followed with the idea that
women were as much entitled to pen
sions as the men. Their work was
in the home and the home is the
mainstay of the community. Many
who need aid during the late years
of their lives have lost all through
misfortune of various kinds and have
neither the health nor strength to
recuperate from the loss. and no dis
grace is attached to being the reel
pient of pension. If everyone of
the approximately four millions of
persons in this country over the age
of 65 were to be pensioned in the
new way it would only require IS
cents annually per capita on the rest
Of the population to raise the money,
he said. 49, -.-.-...
The lecture last evening was one
Of a series of events in behalf of the
Old Age Pension Movement to come

cent urging of the necessity of an
equitable division among the people
of the national income. Mr.. Mckenzie
feels this is not more vital than the
use to which the money is put after
it is eQuitably divided. He calls at
tention to the fact that the income
tax group of the American people is
really a small proportion of the pop
ulation, indeed that when it is elm
mated there remain about 90,OOO,OOO
people with an average income of
$3.50 a year. Considering the other
side of the ledger, the Federal budget
for 1922 will amount to about ST.
100000 900 or about $40 per capita.
Adding state and other taxes, Mr..
Mckenzie figures an aggregate per
capita tax of $40 or $3.50 for the
average American family--a little
more as fact than the average in
come. These figures offer a striking
lesson to the advocates of a sales tax
according to the expert. If the rev.
e0uS were IdlStu ny consumption
taxes he says the small income tax
group would get off with an insignifi-
cant payment of taxes in proportion
to their income, which is their share
of the national wealth. The savings
would escape taxation entirely Men
of great wealth spend only an insig-
nifcant part of their income on living
expenses. The result would be that
the poor would pay the piper while
the rich danced to the music. The
danger in such a system, if this analy-
sis be accurate, lies deeper than the
financial mulcting of the poor. Be
hind systems of exploiting turks the
danger of revolt. They are the seeds
of discomfort, the rocks on which ma
tions have been wrecked.

therefore put himself in a position to
speak with authority. In the Day
