With old ago pensions the profes­ sional politician would have easy sail­ ing. livery pension would-mean a vote Under control. A hundred or more clerks, bookkeepers, inspectors and. physicians would be added to the pay roll of the state. The State Journal recently had an editorial -that is worth reprinting so that every tax payer can judge for 'himself whether-the state is ready to adopt such a plan. “The Ohio State Grange has thrown the weight of its influence,'* which is ’ powerful, against the proposed old age pension law, which will he submit­ ted to the voters in November.., It seems strange that this proposed law has as much, support as it has, fo r we like to think of the people of Ohio as Industrious, frugal, self-reliant, am­ ply able and willing to stand on their own feet and ready only in thejease of misfortune and dire necessity"to ac­ cept charity. The Grange is informed that the initial cost of administering the old age pension system would ex­ ceed $300,000 a year. Perhaps that ac­ counts for soipe of the support o f the . scheme. It would mean a new bureau, which, once established, would turn its attention-to expancUng itself, and many jobs from the start. There is such, a motive behind the campaigns for most of these paternalistic plans which, are represented by their pxopa*' gandists as humane and progressive. Persons \vihb, through sickness or other misfortune, approach, old age with .‘nothing laid by and no other re­ liance for support and comfort de­ serve universal sympathy and all the material help they need.. But, what are our greet organized charities for? People say they would not accept charity, but a state pension would be charity and is rightly to be thought of in that light! When the people of Ohio decide this question they should bear in mind tha t an affirmative majority would discourage thrift and encourage pauperism. There are C *<?
