THE PENSION PROBLEM

Anv way anybody looks at these old-age pension
.ohor,as all of them boil down to the same thing:
They take money away from persons under 60
wears of age and give it to persons over 60 years of
age.
With that as principle they vary merely in the
wovs Of taking, the ways of giving and the extent
of the transfer ...-.,.-.. -.
T. Ivp are committed to the principle that society
oros aoed persons something all that is left for us
~ dncide is how much and how shall we make the
payment 80,
Tho latter plan seems to have the most support
II would mean that you and l and Tom, Dick
ord Harry, would give 50 out of every 500 we
earned to the support of persons over 60 and that
e NO were farmers and sold 500 worth of tobacco
~, cotton that we would plank up the 81 just the
same. - .
T. doesn't sound like very much talking about it
,;I,n that but lump it up year and add it to
,,o,r normal income tax and your property tax and
see how we'll it sits.
And remember: this stands a very good chance

PUBLIC DEBT

Thomas Jefferson author of the Declaration of
INDEPENDENCE and the third president of the United
States considered large public debt, and especial
" continuing debt one of the greatest dangers
TO be feared in this country $780,.
at is incumbent on every generation" he said,
..to nav its own debts as it goes This principle,
if acted on, would save one-half the wars of the
world ,...
81 place economy among the first and most i'm
portant of republican virtues, and public debt as
the greatest of the dangers to be feared
We have come to look upon public debt in very
different light in these modern days, and certainly
we have thrown his caution about economy to the
four winds.
But Thomas Jefferson was very wise man in
his day, and he had very clear conception of
what actually constituted Republicanism in ma
ton.
And while it will not now be possible for us to
pay any considerable portion of our public debt
within our own generation, we might begin to
exercise some of that economy which Thomas JEFF
ferson considered among the first and most impor-
tant of republican virtues.-Rock Hill Herald.

THRIFT

One of the most important words involved in the
success of the average person is that of thrift -
Many young people wonder whip they are not able
to get ahead in the realm of business or CONNER
cial activity of one kind or another and yet one
reason it so clear that if they were not blind it
would stare them out of countenance.
Thrift on the part of many young people today
is practically an unknown dictionary word. Rather
does the young man and the young woman seek a
thriftless court in the ambition to have good time
and enjoy life with all the financial means at hand,
and even to go into debt, borrowing for the fun of
the day in the hope of paying back tomorrow
