TRE DflIbY TIDINGS BY THE ASHLAND PRINTING CO. ESTA BUSHED IN 1876 A SH L A N D D A IL Y T ID IN G S Victims First duty of the country is to bring immediate relief to refugees from the great floods which thirty» states have poured down the valley of the Missis sippi. The second duty is to make a repitition of such disaster impossible. Secretary Hoover' says that it can be done by engineering works at a small fraction of what this year’s flood has cost Probably this great construc tive work can be done for what our politicians waste by inefficiency and graft in state and local governments. Aside from engineering works flood control means scientific reforestation. It is said that the Mississippi knew no floods while virgin forest» still covered thousands of square miles of the territory it drains. And while no practical amount of refor- ¿station alone will prevent a flood, it stands to rea son that it will help control them as well as bring other blessings to a nation which has frightfully wasted it« resources of timber. The tragic sufferers of the Mississippi floods are less the victims of the blind forces of nature than of roan’s willingness to take a chance, and for the' sake of n little present gain rick enormous future OUT OUR WAY Accioeur i set OAwe.

OM Age Pensions The Pennsylvania Old Age Pension Com mission systems throughout the United States, concludes that they are inadequate in scope, their cost makes them impossible as a 'permanent policy and they do not accomplish the result hoped for ia ployee. The pension is too small and the age of re tirement so advanced that workers ’ beeome incom petent before reaching it. «In most cases pensions are forfeited by a man who leaves or loses' his work. As a means of reducing ïabfcr turnover they are most effective with the class least desirable to retain. As a disciplinary measure the commis sion admits the pension may have some effect with older employees, bpt not with the yonng and vigor ous worker. As a means of freeing the worker from tho dread of an unprotected old age they aro mani festly ineffective. Under most systems the em ployer has no legal claim and present plans amount to little more than a vague promise based on “ if everything goes right.” The commission asserts that there are prob ably altogether less than 90,000 men and women now in the receipt of industrial pensions through out the country. On the other hand, it is estimated that about 1,800,000 of the aged men and women of the United States are in need 'of some support. This fundamental fact should be sufficient to indicate how little these pension systems are cap able of meeting the needs of this body, of indigent aged. Suppose Suppose that this newspaper were issued with out a single advertisement? Wouldn’t the “ make-up” look plain and rather dull? Wouldn’t the readers be a little disappointed! Wouldn’t business drag? Wouldn’t the stranger in our city or in distant circulations think there was something wrong with the town! Wouldn’t other publishers think the editor of this paper a little slow! And wouldn’t we cuss?
