fifteen-year requirement was I'M
fair. Others suggested lowering the
age limit, repeating the law, fixing
minimum pension regardless Of
need and combining old age pension
administration with poor relief ad-
ministratiOn."
Now, why do some want to repeal
the law instead of amending it?
Fixing a minimum, regardless of
need, would make a trif1ing low
pension, and why do they want to
combine the pensions with poor re-
lief to make life uncomfortable and
miserable? None Of the old people
is in favor of such system.
Poor relief means a low, suffer-
ing and hungry life. 1t looks like
picking up crumbs on the road to a
poor farm. Some poor old woman
once suffered to give you birth and
some poor old man once struggled to
feed you we'll and make you COM
Portable to live happy. Why not re-
member this and do your best to
make old people live comfortable
and happy in old age regardless of
expense? Lower taxes by less ex-
pense for young pleasures like state
roads, state parks and many other
ways.
Let us get this pension business
settled early in commencement Of
the January legislature and not let
it linger to the end.
What we old people want is a
statewide pension law to be paid
like the government pays the
soldiers. We don't need so many
hands in the pot to investigate.
Our old age and financial condi-
tons tells enough and We don't
want to be mixed in with any poor
relief That's what we want a pen
sion for. to keep away from the
hands Of poor relief who keep
themselves fat on bread and give US
crumbs. Let the pensioner have his
privilege to spend his own money
and live free and happy. independ-
ent of the poor relief administra-
ton

Thanksgiving
BY THOMAS E. HALsEY

BY THOMAS E. HALSEY
On this day let US give our thanks
to God,
All, not that We possess our share
of gold
Perhaps no worldly wealth have We
TO hold,
But that we've slowly ganered for
ourselves,
Far greater things than gold upon
our shelves.
Real treasures which we're often
combed about
Then for some empty shells that
glow'd, cast out;
True riches which expel our doubts
and fears
And give us suStenance in trying
years.
Much more do We appreciate today
Why our forefathers fingered there

For precious gifts unto this land
they brought,
And for their preservation worked
and fought:
That we might know kinder des-
tiny,
They handed down these gifts to
you and me:
Hope. perseverance, charity and
love,
Ard simple faith in Him who
reigns above!
Upon this bond our nation stands
today
And every Thoughtful heart shall
humbly pray
That Gods communion with US
never cease,
Lest we should forfeit liberty and

America will produce her own sea serpents

will be more up-to-date than Scotch or

the merit system in police and

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-11-29

Now, The Times seems to be
the champion of the merit sys-
tenn personally, I prefer civil
service, SO why not start q strong
campaign along these lines?
You could start a private coun-
ty popular vote Of your own.
After all, those in Office can not
ignore popular public opinion. I
believe that the city police, city
fire department, our penal insti-
tutions, state police and all APP
pointive jobs should be put on the
civil service basis. This, in a
way, would cast party affiliations
to the winds and the best man
or woman, mentally and physi-
Cally would get the job.
Let's get together and elimin-
ate as much as possible all poll
tics, put the civil service into
operation, and keep the appoin-
tees on the job SO long as their
services are satisfactory. With a
vigorous campaign on your part,
this can be accomplished.

KIWANIS CLUB
OF BRAWLEY
VISITS HERE

Brawley Kiwanis club members
put on the program for the local
club at the meeting held this noon
in the Barbara Worth hotel.
Charlie Atwell, president of the
BraWley club, presided, introduce
ing Prof. Roy Wilkinson of the
Brawley Junior college who gave an
interesting talk on the trends of
today.
With the basis of population as
the subject, Prof. Wilkinson stated
that all business and expansion is
based on an increase in population
He declared that it is interesting
to find that in the last 10 years,
deaths have increased and births
decreased so that in a short time,
provided no extraordinary change
takes place, deaths and births will
equal each other so that population
will become stationary.
Another interesting thing in these
studies, is the increase in popula-
ton in children between the ages
of birth and five years. This in
crease is due to a decrease in the
infant mortality.
Prof. Wilkinson stated that the
population can be taken as the
trend in all business since it would
be useless 20 build more factories
unless more consumers could be
obtained or unless other outlets
could be found for production.
"fJick' Nixon sang several songs
accompanied by Mrs. Marie Bost-
wick.

relative to unemployment and old

Gives Outline
II believe there should be max
imum of cooperation between the
state and the federal government. I
believe that the funds necessary to
provide this insurance should be
raised by contribution rather than
by an increase in general taxation.
above all, am convinced that
social insurance should be national
in scope, although the several states
should meet at least a portion of the
cost of management, leaving to the
federal government the response
bility of investing, maintaining and
safeguarding the funds constituting
the necessary insurance reserves"
Mr.. Roosevelt explained that he
has commenced to make, with the
greatest of care, the necessary stu
dies for the formulation of plans
for consideration of the 74th con-
gress.
"These three great objectives," he
pointed out,--"the security of the
home, the security Of livelihood, and
the security of social insurance, are
1t seems to me, minimum of the
promise that we can offer to the
American people"
"They constitute right which be-
longs to every individual and every
family willing to work. They are the
essential fulfillment of measures al
ready taken toward relief, recovery
and reconstruction"
To private industry that would
necessarily have to share in the
cost of such step Mr.. Roosevelt
explained that ample scope "is left
for the exercise of private initiative"
Cannot Go Back
"We have not imposed undue re-
strictions upon business" he said.
I'VE have not opposed the incentive
of reasonable and legitimate private
profit. We have sought rather to en-
able certain aspects of business to
regain the confidence of the pub
lie. We have sought to put forward
the rule of fair play in finance and
industry"
Observing that there are a few
among us who would still go back"
Mr.. Roosevelt added that these few
offered no substitute for the gains
already made, nor for making future
gains for human happiness.
"They loudly assert" he warned,
that individual liberty Is being re-
stricted by government, but when
they are asked what individual lib
critics they have lost, they are put
to it to answer"
The President told congress it
was completing work begun in
1888, and which would stand as JUS
tification Of "the vitality of repre-
sentative government" He asked
that the few remaining items on the
legislative agenda be approved but
added that other measures for lack
of time or of adequate information,
might be shelved until next session.
Mr.. RooSevelt's message stressed
the necessity for housing program.
He observed there was plenty of pri-
vate money for sound projects and
that the congress could stimulate
lending for modernization and
building.
The soaring drought now cover
ing 16 states of the middle west also
came in for attention in connection
with a plea for the planned utiliza
ton of the nations water resources,
