' V . ,'. '.. . - . - - tret Ion of Poor Relief." The article points "out and ; proves, by tabulated records) that the Increase of expendi ture is out of all proportion to the in crease of pauperism. The flcures show that the proportionate cost has risen steadily each year since 10. In Lon don ths cost of poor relief per pauper has been trebled alnce 1 871. Through out the rest of the country the cost has been almost doubled in the same period. It . Is suggested by one authority that the employers' liability act makes pau pers, by causing employers to reject all workmen who have passed the age of abotit 60. as-being -more-liable-to- aeci dent than young men. The same au thority urges that such men should be allowed to take work at their own risk. The main cause of Increased pauperism la said to- be - the- absence of a.. settled form of relief. Boards of guardians are held to be not blameworthy, since the central authority has no definite power. St. Bnaaway BpoUed Burglars' Flans. ' Joseph Correspondence Kansas City , .
