And that address: i ' My experience with other philanthropic endeavors leads "me to btlieve that the only time great numbers of the under privileged ever acquire higher standards of living is when the brains and ingenuity of business and financial leadership make it their job to raise these living standards. I 'f . "I give" you tonight a very easy and practical way to an alyze this statement Tell me, if you can, what social worker or Ipolitical demagogue is responsible for the higher standard of liv ing in America that is expressed by the following comparison of conditions, which I read the other day? In 1900, not one fam- ' - ily Jn a hundred owned a horse and buggy. Todays three out of jfour have automobiles. One family In 13 had a telephone; now 11 ;pne family in two. In that 8ame year, modern plumbing and cen- Jtral heating were luxuries; less than five thousand homes had electricity, radio and 'refrigeration. Today, twenty-one hundred : million homes are wired, seven million families own refrigerators, t twenty-two million have radio receivers. " l: ; "Of course, all of this is fine, but It Is Just a beginning xt what is really possible. The only way that we can protect such growth of living standards is by spreading 'the opportunity for v 'more and more people to use less of their family budgets for . : better'shelter, food and clothing. Otherwise it will be impossi ble for the great masses to share with their more fortunate brothers the necessities of today that were the luxuries of yester--. j day." - . - . .

It Is necessary and desirable in this society that they should be retired earlier and it Is therefore necessary that the whole society should collaborate to make an ad Justment to these tacts , and to make It not as a dole, but as an act of recognition, and as a con tribution to economic stability. The Safety Valve Letters from Statesman Readers Fence an Insult Editor of the Statesman: Your editorial In the Statesman Give the People a Chance" hits the nail on the head. Why that seven foot board fence around the state house Is more than I can see. I thiak the citizens have a right to look on at the construc tion; we are all interested to see the work progress from time to time. If you must hare a fence mak it four to five feet then we can look. over. If any one wanted to do any harm a seven foot fence would not stop him any way. I ' well remember when the other state house was under con struction there was no fence around it of any kind, and the citizens could look as long as they pleased and no trouble ever hap pened. I consider that fener an Insult to the citizens of this city and state. B. P.

If we have un derstood him properly, what he proposes are not real old-age pen sions at all, but only aid to the aged destitute. He proposes to introduce the means test, under which the pension becomes mere ly a public dole. This Is begging the whole question. For the Idea of old-age; pensions is not. just to take eare of the destitute aged. but to recognize that modern, in dustrial Ufe has created conditions peculiarly unfavorable tq the old, and that state pensions are a means of adjusting to that reality. , ' The facts about our society are, among others, these: that it Is Increasingly an Industrial society, in which men and women depend for their livelihoods on wages or Ten Years 'Ago October 4, 1926 The Capitol theatre will ' hold Its grand opening , tonight with valley invited to reception.
