EDIT O RIAL S~ Eee Maintenance of men incapa- citated by age, not as a degrad- ing and demoralizing charity, | but as a matter of obligation on the one hand and of right! has been urged | by | on the other, on the Dominion Premier representatives of the Trades Congress. This policy is now free from the common terror of the unknown, for the British government has found it feasi- ble, economical, and free from the alarming consequences predicted by the timid. The man who has worked produc- tively during his active years, giving much and getting little, is entitled, out of the margin between the wealth he produc- ed and the wages he received, to decent maintenance in his old age. ‘That there is such a margin to draw upon is proved by the fact that wealth is ob- tained by non-producers. Somebody must produce with- out obtaining. . . = With regard to the practical aspect of the policy, it is now generally recognized as an in- tolerable disgrace to allow the aged to suffer want. They must be maintained. Many methods have been devised for their maintenance, but few have been free from highly objec- tionable features. As many have been adopted by people who have gratuitously taken up work the elected representa- tives should do, they involve costly and impractical organ- ization and general waste of effort. The periodical payment of a pension is new generally regarded as the most offective and least objection method yet designed. * © 6 The idea of a great waste or vast burden in this connection takes strong hold on those who think every disbursement by a government is a If all men were taxed equally to pay an equal pension to all there would be no loss or waste, al- though the soemme of govern- Canadian STEAM LAUNDRY Latest and Approved Methods oa Seo es Phone us ant wo wit call for a trial bundle Note Our Address: 616 SIXTH AVENUE WEST loss. fl fy eM ‘i ; I ad 7 | cal A mental outlay would be vastly augmented. but and the men who pay the old- Money is not lost merely changes hands, | age pensions are simply mak- ing advances toe the public of draw when of money they will they service.

To insure against loss or burden it would be necessary to provide that payments be made to residents only. The system could be extended so as to class the injured and in- capacitated temporarily or per- manently with the aged, thus covering asystem of(ecompensa- tion now operated by compli- cated governmental mechan- i ism. It is the lack of such provisions for the aged that prompts the grasping mean- ness and sinister duplicity so often noticed as the age of dis- missal approaches. The sim- plicity of the old-ate pension system seems to militate against it with legislators ac- customed to complications and entanglements. : PREVENTS METALS FROM BURNING freely . Iron burns underfavor- able conditions, though such a metal is not commonly thought of as combustible. A piece of soft iren, when whittled into a candle- flame with a sharp knife, iron- steel burns _ brilliantly. Fine filings are used in quantities to make fireworks. And no mass of matter how large, can be heated red in contact with the air without “rusting.” In fact, we have no inexpensive metal that can be used at very high tempera- jtures.
