Show Young Age Pensions. Young-age pensions! Why not? Titles, Ti-tles, honors, riches, pensions and most other good things are, as a rule, postponed post-poned to a period of life when the capacity ca-pacity for enjoying them has been blunted. Australia was one of the 'first countries to adopt old-age pensions, pen-sions, and now a Labor member of the commonwealth parliament proposes a complementary scheme of young-age pensions. He would start by pensioning pension-ing the fourth child at birth. The fact that three had previously been born showed that the parents were doing their duty and deserving well of the state. The young-age pension would "reward industry and encourage the birth rate." London Chronicle. |
