TO INSURE AGAINST POVERTY
Writer Is Confident That a Practical
Scheme Will Be Worked Out
PAGE EIGHT
Ill &L . . - Ill
Before Many Yeara.
Sickness Is nn Insurable ris!i r.ml
there is no doubt Hint some vory com
prehensive and acceptable scheme .f
Insurance against it will yet be worked ;
out. Whether, in the United Suites, j
It will be a compulsory, state-managed ;
8clierne Is by no means so certain. Hut
the more that subject Is agitated the
faster sickness loss will be reduced,
for agitation will direct attention to
public health, and means that are
tried and proved will be more exten
sively employed to prevent sickness.
Steady, Intelligent public attention
to what the whole problem of poverty
needs. There Is no doubt that a
great part of It to preventable. The
poor. It Is true, we have always with
us. Time was when we had always
bad slavery and smallpox with us.
Now out of half a million persons one
person dies annually of smallpox In
the United States, Time was when
slavery and smallpox were generally
taken as a matter of course. As soon
as they ceased being taken as a mat
ter of course they were put Into the
way of practically disappearing not
by any magic formula but by tireless,
sure-footed, practical-minded effort.
At length we have the means of re
ducing poverty to Its practical, Irre
ducible minimum. It Is only very re
cently, as history runs, that we have
had those means. But now we have
the wealth not enough wealth for a
limousine and a grand piano to every
Inhabitant and a four-hour workday;
but enough for the essentials of decent
physical existence to every family,
We have the soclnl and Industrial or
ganization and the body of scientific
knowledge. Poverty Is a social loss
and a socIhI danger. We can take out
an Insurance policy against it. Will
Payne, In Saturday Evening Post.
