appointed to bring in a report on the number and con dition of all cemeteries there is a growing feeling that as far as possi ble persons everywhere should be made to contribute sufficient funds to maintain their own plots in ceme teries it is hardly fair for instance to asesss the ratepayers of stouff ville for funds needed to care tor the local cemetery when more than half the burials made

careful analysis a pension for everybody over 70 years old would be very little more difficult to pay than the present system is here is what saturday night says the proposal for a revision of tho terms of the national old age pensions act makes it timely to inquire whether the concept of the nature of governmental old age pen sions upon which this country has operated ever since there were such things is a necessary and inevitable concept and whether there may not be a better one it is a fundamental element in tho existing pension aei that the recipient must not be in receipt of an income of more thau 3g3 a year and must not have effected any assignment or transfer to reduce his income to that level is this a desirable limitation tho enforcement of this limita tion requires a great deal of ex penditure by public authorities and causes a great deal of hard feeling it is largely left moreover to the local authorities who have the least reason for doing it efficiently be cause they contribute only the smaller part of the pension and naturally approve of a payment which helps business in their terri tory and may even diminish tho burden of local relief enforcement is therefore in all probability very unevenly and in places very in- qiliecieritly performed it is perfectly obvious moreover that enforcement of the limitation must certainly tend to promote if not evasive transfers of property which are supposed to be barred at any rate unnecessary and extrav agant consumption during the years immediately preceding qualifica tion the state can inquire whether i have given something away it is not empowered to inquire whether i have blown something in the net result of tho limitation is to ensure that the benefits of old age pensions shall be confined to two classes the definitely unlucky and the definitely improvidentthe prov ident are absolutely debarred and the unlucky are subject to an insult ing investigation to make sure that they are really as unlucky as they claim discouraging saving by poor people would any serious evil be caused by paying 210 a year the amount ought really to be adjusted from time to time with the cost of living to everybody who has passed the age of seventy and has the quali fications of residence and goo- be havior no inquiry for anything but an age certificate would then be necessary the total number of persons over seventy in canada is not reported by the available census figures but there are only s40000 over sixty and the number over seventy can hardly be a third of this tho present recipients are g 600 0 in number but they would probably be 1000000 if all the pro vinces participated abandonment of the income limitation would possibly double the number of re cipients in whatever territory were involved and might raise the pre sent 14million dollar bill to as much as 48 millions if all the provinces camo in against which there would be a substantial re duction in administration charges that some of the recipients would bo in no need of the pension does seem to be a fatal objection the less they are in need of it the more certain it is that they will be paying for both their own pension and a lot of other peoples out of their contribution to tho taxes even tho present act does not re quire a pensioner to be utterly destitute it allows him to have 125 a year before it begins cutting won second i down lis why a man who has saved himself an annuity of 125 should bo entitled to 240 a year from the state while his neighbor who has saved himself an annuity of 3g5 should he tntitled to nothing is not very clear what is clear is that the situation does little to encourage the purchase of small annuities which curiously enough tho dominion government tries to sell saw cow for first
