Thirty-two state legisla- tures considered the proposed legisla- tion during the winter. Hering said. . Texas, New Jersey and Massachusetts took favorable action and in other states commissions were appointed to investigate the practicability of the proposal. "Old Age Pensions will become a. substantial part of our industrial and economic system within the next; live Years." is the prophecy of Bering. "The results obtained in a single year of intensive work are more than satis- factory. When the Eagles. at their convention two years ago. appropriat- ed 830.000 to call the attention of various legislatures to the essential humanity and sound economic policy underlying these principles. we did not » hope for actual passage of laws with- in so short time. A decade is the usual period for new ideas to become‘ a part of the’written law. ' ; “The idea of the pension is simple.’ The aimshouse with its disgrace. hu- miliation and institutional limitations has outlived its usefulness. Our poor laws are borrowed almost, verbatim. from the days of Queen Elizabeth.‘ They were fashioned to meet the. needs of the day and era. that are; gone. : "This country is rapidly passing from an agricultural to an industrial: basis. In industry. under the press ofi competition. there are increasing numbers of men and women. who. after a life of work and service. ap- proach the. time. of sluckcned produc- tion without being protected by ado-v quote savings to keep them from pau- ; perism. ' “Our investigations show that an al- most. unbelievable percentage of men who pass their 63th birthday are com- pelled to exist, in whole or in perhl ;upon some form of public or private; charity. "The poorhouse. is not only the sym- l bol of terror to all those who recog-‘ nize the impouibility of saving enough to last them through the period of; lessened production. but it is a very costly.institution for the state. The huge overhead. for instance. in one of' our states. necessitates a tax of $5.00, for every man. woman and child illI that state for the upkeep of the aims-1 house. The figures in other states are almost as amazing. "The gratifying early success of this effort to meet our social needs has of course. aroused opposition in some quarters. The passage of such laws in certain states will now be more diifi- cult because of organized efforts to defeat thorn. "I am sending today to the labor group of the National Civic Federa- tion a copy of a letter turned Over to me by a member of that body who has been solicited - for a substantial con- tribution to perfect an organization to tight old age pensions. The appeal for ofunds was signed by Ralph M. Easlcy. who stated in his letter that the feder- mtion would fight non-contributory old age pension laws.

Heriing,head- of the National Committee on Old Age Pensions for the Fraternal Order of Eagles, declared here in urging widespread adoption of the old age pension idea. that he is favorable to old age pen- sions and that the A.

' OSAVINGS "AccouNTs mvimn human, the report that he is opposed to such legislation, and it is to be expected that he will resent the use of the name of the National Civic Federation to kill legislation in which the A, F. of L. is interested and in whose support is.- bor very generally is enlisted. "We intend to ascertain whether or not other men whose names are by implication used by Mr. Essie! have given their approval to his position. "The greatest fear of the honest. in- dustrious but unfortunate worker is that of poverty in his old age. The old age pension laws now on the sta- tute books of Nevada and Montana are intended to take away something of that fear and with it the terror of ending lifem an institution which brands the inmate with humiliation and shame and social ostracism. "'Our Old Age Pension law does not encourage idleness. wastefulnem. or bad habits. Safeguards in the law.‘ limits its benefits to those whose rec- ords’ as citizens are clean. Pensions will not go to the drifter or the waster. "The amount paid is not such as to discourage thrift. The law insures every deserving and dependent man and woman over 65 years of ago an income, all told. of $25.00 per month -—certainly not an amount which would invite men or women to take no thought of their future. It is simply large enough to enable them to live in frugality outside ofapoov- house. In most cases the State will furnish only part of this $25.00 per month. the individual usually having. some meagre earning or income.
