The original law was drastically amended in 1886 when the sum of 2,000,000 francs was paid into the national fund to provide an increase of all curre:t pensions to all per- sons of seventy years of age and older, this increas: applying only to those who "had given evidence of perseverance and thrift," Germany was the first country to adopt a compulsory old age pension scheme, with a law being passed in 1889 making it compulsory to insure against invalidity and old age. The contributions towards the fund making. this scheme possible were, and are, partly paid by the benefir cary, partly by his employer, and partly by the s.ate, The law orig. nally provided a small pension gra. deated according to the wages earn- ed by the workman, The pension. able age was placed at seventy years but for those incapacitated before hat age a sickness allowance was available, It is an open secret that the Ger- man scheme was originally .ntroduce ed by Bismarck for political pur- poses, to take the wind out of the sails of the socialists. who, at that time growing in numerical strength, were also becoming loud in their pro- tests against the oppression and hard ships occasioned by militarism and protection, Under the original German Act no person could draw the old age pen~ sion under the age of seventy, and who had not paid his contributions to the fund for 1,200 weeks, On its inauguration the .cheme was not popular among the masses in New Zealand Was First to Adopt Old Age Pensions With the Old Age Pension Act of Ontario now effective and working smoothly, and the council of this city planning some superannuation scheme for the City Police Force; compulsory pensions being talked of for the Fire Departments, and an almost general acceptance of the policy guverning pensions and supe crannuation, a brief resume of the first steps taken towards the same end may be of interest, A national old age pension sys. tem has been almost constantly be- fore the public' in England for the last filty years and as carly as 1885 a select committee of the Beitish Mouse of Commons was appointed to enquire into the best system of na tional insurance against pauperism, Diffeernt schemes were submitted, and 'there was one which attracted the widest attention being one of "Canon Blakely's" who, in his own words, in describing his plan, stated "I propose that every individual in the nation shall be liable by law af ter reaching the age of cighteen years to contribute, either jn one sum or in instalments, £10 or there- abouts to a National Sick and Pens sion Benefit Society which would se- cure to him or her. when prevented by sickness from securing his or her usual wages a sum of eight shillings # week until seventy years of age, and after seventy years of age a ces- sation of the sick pay, but a pen- sion of four shillings a week." No action was taken with regard to adopting Canon Blakely's plan, another commission being named in England in 1892, this body being presided over by Lord Aberdare and having many outstanding men among its members including the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII), Jo- seph Chamberlain, and others of the same period. Booth's Plan The most important scheme pre- sented to this commission was the plan of a Mr, Charles Booth who ad- vocated that cvery person, male or 3.3.

It was estimated at that time that the cost of provid. ing these pensions for the whole of Great Britain would be in the neigh- borhood of £24,500,000 sterling per annum exclusive of the management and administration of the fund, The commission failed to recommend the adoption of this scheme: One of the outstanding advecstes of old age pensions in Great Britain in the early nineties was, Joseph Chamberlain, who proposed a vol. untary scheme whereby the state would guarante. a pension of five shillings a week for life after at- taining the age of sixty-five, while it @ man died before attaining pen- sionable age his widow would re- months and his children two shillings a week if under twelve years until they reached the age of .welve, pro- vided that the weekly sum payable to any one family must nc exceed voluntary payments under Mr, Cham- twelve shilling. The beneficiary's berlain's scheme would be a sum of £5 before the age of twenty-five, and subsequent Jayinsats of £1 per year until pensionable age was attained, The state, on its part, would place the sum of £15 to the credit of the assured when the initial premium of £5 was paid, the total of these two sums being allowed to increase and accumulate at two and a half per cent, compound interest, until the beneficiary attained sixty-five years, Mr. Chamberlain's plin was also not adopted, Another Investigation The question was again a one in 1896 when another Royal Commission investigated the possi- bility of adopting some scheme, the chairman of this commission being Lord Rothschild, but with no definite results, The matter of Old Age Pensions and Unemployment Insurance has been a still more lively topic for dis cussion in Great Britain during re- cent years, and both these assur- ance policies have recently been ad. opted and appear to be working snjoothly, New ealand Pensions New Zealand is beligved to have been the pioneer within the British Empire in the adoption of some scheme of old age Jensions, the New Zealand Old Age ing into force in November, 1898, 'his Act provides that a person who has attained the age of sixtys five years, and has resided in New Zealand for not less than twenty-five years immediately preceding the ap. plication for pension, who is of good character, shall be entitled to a pens sion of £18 'sterling should his yearly income not amount to £152 or up. wards, or if the net capital value of his accumulated property does not amount to or upwards, Some of the conditions which quale ified a person in New Zealand under the original Act, to draw a pension were rather curious, For instance, in order to qualify, the Act states a person "who has not for twelve years preceding that date (application for pension) been imprisoned for four months, or on four occasions for any offence dishonoring him in the pub- lic estimation, and during twenty-five years has not/been imprisoned for a term of five years for any such of. fence, and who has, not deserted his wife for more than six months." The Uiderlylng principle of the New Zealand bill was that a pension should be given only to the aged and (deserving poor, lively basing the governing legislation on the New Zealand Act, Established in France The nation to first adopt some scheme of old age pension is believe Ee Delay Sha nsion fund being establish. de that country in 1880 "in order to*place a suitable institution at the service of the thrifty worker," The original scheme appears to have been entirely. voluntary, the ceive ten shillings a week for six|) ension Act com- |!

But if the readers of these papers are under a false fm~ pression, the Senate is not disposed to undeceive them, Nor is the Sen ate disposed to interfere it news papers are financed and controlled by private corporatiops which have selfish objects to serve, The Church bill' would enable the people to know who pulls the strings and shapes editorial policy, Three Benators who are connects ed with newspapers opposed the Church bill, and another who 1s interested in a newspaper for poli ica) purposes sat on the commits oe, BANAT GOES BAD, 'KING' GOES BACK Michigan: Village Will Be Given "Talking to" by Former Ruler (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Banat, Mich, April 11, «= The man who was "king" of Banat, who foun- ded and ruled over this little Hun- garian village in Michigan's upper peninsula for nearly a score of years, is coming back to give his former subjects a talking to, Banat has strayed from the narrow ath in which it was started by John oth, who led a little gypsy band from Banat, Hungary, to this site on of the Blue Danube, to this site on the Menominee river in 1909, Fac. tional strife has arisen, a building has been burned, blood has been shed in street fights between merchants of the village, Evil days have fallen up on aBnat since its king left the vil. lage to live in Milwaukee: S60 John Roth, who ran the general store, the postoffice and was village notary the "King of Banat'--is coming back to straighten out affairs "Banat always was peac Roth says.

LAWRENCE BRIDGE COMMISSION (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) "e was that of [naling an annual charge in the budget of the government covering the pensions falling into possession during the year and those already in Yoree, No accumulative fund was maintained for the special purpose of paying pensions, The pension was originally given after twenty-five years of service, the minimum pension being 150 lires and the maximum 8,000 lires. The deductions from salary were arrang- ed at from one to six per cent, ac. cording to the amount received, and averaged about six per cent. Canada's Superannuations In 1886 the Dominion Parliament passed the Civil Service Superannua- tion Act, providing that pension he ranted to civil servants on attain. ng the age of sixty years who had completed at least ten years in the service, pension being calculated on the average salary of the last three year: Under the original Act the | amount of the: pension was to be! one-fiftieth of the salary for each | year of service up to thirty-five years when thirty-five-fiftieths of the ave erage salary for the last three vears could be awarded, In 1893 «it became apparent that the authorized deductions would not create a sufficient fund to make the awarded payments and the rates of contributions were changed so that for persons joining the Civil service after 1893 the contributions would be three and a half per cent, on salariés over $600, instead of two and a halt per cent as heretofore, and three per cent, on those under $600, instead of one and a quarter. In 1896, with a new Government coming into power, the whole mat« ter of civil service superannuations an Act was passed abolishing the original' one governing such matters, In liew of superannuation a retirement = fund was established by which civil ser. vants contributed = five per cent of their salaries to the accumulative sum and to this the Government added four per cent compound interest, On the retirement or dismissal of the civil servant the amount contributed became payable to him, or if he died to his legal representative, This Act. has been considerably amended during later years, SENATE REJECTS BILL TO REVEAL PRESS OWNERSHIP Measure Would Have Made Public Interests Behind Editorial Policy Ottawa, April 11, -- The Private Bills Committea of the Senate yesterday rejected as 'not in the public interest" the bill aponsored L, Church, M.P. tor North Toronto, respecting news paper ownership, gocutive years the Commons has passed tha bill--this year it was passed unanimously=-~and the Sen ate committee has just as regulars Albany, N.
