FORTY PER CENT WASTE

War time surveys made by engineers of national
reputation, revealed that in six ndustries-the metal
trades, boots textiles building, printing and mems
clothng-the individual percentage of waste from
20 to 64 per cent and averaged than 40 per cent
The statement comes from Frederick NJ Feiker
of the U department of commerce, who adds that,
if the correctness of the estimate be assumed and the
average holds throughout the nations industries the
annual loss in labor, capital time thought and effort
approaches 20 million dollars. The figures ap
palng, but the department makes plain that the fault
is not primarily that of the manufacturer.
Buyers control production, and waste cannot be
eliminated simply by efficiency in manufacture and
distribution Intelligent buying is essential also, for
supply always waits upon demand.
There is, really no reason why there should be as
many kinds of axes, for instance there womens
hats but three American manufacturers turning
out 6118 different kinds. We cite this one industry,
not as a horrible example, but as indicating the ma
tional trend.
The department of commerce does not urge stand
ardization either in industry in life 1t knows bet
ter for national instinct indvidualisc 1t only
suggests a reasoned smplifcation.
Too many enterprises seeking business the
theory of something every year. They should be
interested in something better.

OLD AGE PENSIONS

good argument against old age pensions is made
by the Ohio State Grange, in connection with pro-
posal In that state to be voted in the fall election
The measure provides for state commission, with
for administration expenses People 65 years
OF age would be eligible to pensions The total amount
payable is estimated at many millions year Says
the grange:
"Inosewho favor this law contend that when
who have reached the age of 6 and have
giving these years to society, without having accumu
lated competence, then society owes them pension
in old age.
IF each man and each woman had actually given
their best effort to society during 65 then there
would be good reason for old age PENSIONS but human
beings have not reached that stage of perfection Too
many are willing to evade their share of the worlds
labor And yet those who toll and are asked to
sanction law that will give of their savings to those
who have failed to save.
ITO substitute state pensions for the urge to
work and to save will incentives most needed
"Once the incentives removed the clamor will
begin for more pensions, for increased pensions, for
forms of PENSIONS for state Insurance. for unem
ployment doles."
These conclusions supported by the experience
of Great Britain and by the very facts of human
ture constituted at present. Surely society does
not debt to any old person unless that person
has performed useful service to society Old age pay
ments to be just, must be discriminating. starving
woman must be fed, the naked must be clothed
the homeless sheltered Our social standards demand
that. But standards do not demand public pay
ments to all of certain whether they need the
money or not, or whether they deserve it or not.
Our society is based on individual striving. While
it remains so, it destined to do at least for
generations it will hardly do to take away the
incentive to strive while in the prime of life and make
the thrifty support the thriftless.
