OLD AGE PENSIONS
Cost of Administration, Who to Be Benefited Explained
By State Chairman NJ 0. Burns Who Also Makes
Answer to Opponents and Critics

Following is an open letter by NJ O.
Burns, president of the State Aerie
of Eagles and chairman of the Eagles
state committee on old age pensions,
addressed to the Ohio Board of Com
merce, which organization is making
strong campaign against the pro-
posed old age pensions bill. The let
ter is self-explanatory:
The Ohio Board of Commerce
Gentlemen:
| wish to submit the following syn
opsis of the old age pension bill for
your consideration for the purpose of
showing at the outset the statements
regarding overhead expense are
greatly exaggerated The bill does
provide for Il board of four members
at $500000 each, amounting to $2O,-
100000. The bill provides a county
board of welfare, consisting of the
Judge of the probate court, Judge of
of the court of common pleas and the
county auditor, and for county well
fare director This county welfare
director may be the same person act
ing for the juvenile court or investi-
gator for the widows pension.
The bill does not provide a pension
for everybody, but only such persons
who have reached the age of IS years
and come under the qualifications set
out in the act. 1t does not apply to
a person who has not been a resident
of the state for 15 years or to any
person who has been an inmate of or
has accepted public charity one year
before making application. Any per-
son who has an income of S35000 per
year is Ineligible If any person has
any income under $350.00 per year,
he is only eligible to receive such
amount as will make up sum total
Of $4,000 per year. If they possess
any property, that property is sub
ject to payment upon death on such
pension as may have been paid to the
owner during life. The pension is
not a matter of right, but of deter
mination by the county welfare board
upon examination.
The salary of the welfare director
is fixed by the county board of well
fare, but at no event can be over
$120000 per year. The maximum ex
penses of administration cannot be
over $100,000.00 year, but this is
subject to reduction by the legisla
.ture.
Nearly every civilized country of
the world with the exception of the
United States at present, has an old
age pension system. America Is
about the only country that maintains
a poor house system for its aged peo-
pie. Investigation has demonstrated
the fact that old dependent people
with some little income will find
someone to care for them outside of
poor houses. 1t also shows that the
children of such people raising their

uWThe first edition of "The Horses

of Troop 23, Fort Sam Houston, Alamo

ton Of the troop, which is the only

been felt.
Accordingly. Chaplain Vaughan
named Ludwell Montague editor and

structed them to get out a monthly
bulletin, giving an account of scout ac-
tivities in Fort Sam Houston.
The use of the Base Hospital print
ing press was secured and Private

structing the boys in the work of print
ing.

There will be $500 vacancies in the

recruiting memorandum recently is
sued from Eighth Corps Area head
quarters. Ibis figure indicates the
largest number of vacancies in the ell
listed strength of the Eighth Corps
Area forces under the present IOrm OF

large number. however, is due 10 the
expiration of terms of service Of men
who were brought into the army three
years ago by the big recruiting drives
at that time. Army officials are IN
hope that this figure will quickly van
ish with the re-enlistment of most of
the men.
With 6362 vacancies in September,
the enlisted strength Of the army in
the Eighth Corps Area will be but
19,069 men, figure less than the pres
ent actual strength which is 81 SOS
men. The authorized strength of the
enlisted strength of this corps area is
25.431 men.
The memorandum shows that Fort
Sam Houston has the largest enlisted
strength of any post in the Eighth
Corps Area. the present strength OF
Fort Sam Houston being 1924 men.
Bliss is the second strongest post with
