II is to feel lost. TO reach sixty
without having independent
means OF support And everyone
who Is sixty in this hectic time
Is a life veteran.
Everyone prefers to have in
dependent means. but a pension
at sixty for those who do not
have any such means. is our
assurance OF security. Uncle Sans
old age insurance is thumbs up
with me. II il costs more than
the present | per cent. that Is
q tax that filters back 10 you.
The nation which takes care
OF the wayfarers Of life handi-
capped by age. or in other ways
without depriving them Of their
human dignity, Is the Nation
which will solve the evils which
spring from want and the fear
OF want.
Also. many will be saved
from the misery which results
in their winding up confined
In our ver-crowded insfifu-
lions. and what Ia saved in such
outlay alone will more than
balance the scale.
A common humanity is a mat

quate insurance at sixty. and for
those who are otherwise handi.

a nation can not fail TO take care
Of Such a nation will have nc
more need to fear that Com

foot in its door in order to force

Such a nation will be blessed

Much ground has been gained
by trial and error through tbs
ballot and II is now matter
that our lawmakers know they

Of all alike. NY only suggestion
to them is that want makes nc

who have sold their labor anc
those who have had something
else to sell and our Constitution
