OLD AGE PENSIONS TO
RECEIVE CONSIDERATION
¥
Old-age pensions are attracting
more attention in state legislatures
this winter than ever before.
The outlook seems to be most
hopeful in New York. Governor
Roosevelt stressed the subject in his
first message and two bills dealing
with the subject have been presented
to the legislature.
One provides that all persons over
70 shall receive an allowance of not
more than $1 a day. The other
creates a Bureau of Old Age Welfare
and gives men over 65 and women
over 60 an allowance of not more
than $50 a month.
Dr. Charles H. Johnson, director of
the State Department of Charity, is
endeavoring to enlist support for the
proposal among welfare sorieties and
other organizations.
In Pennsylvania, organized labor,
under the leadership of Congressman
John J. Casey, president of the State
Federation of Labor, is making a
drive for both age-old pensions and
unemployment insurance. The Mel-
lon-Grundy machine is directing the
opposition.— Labor.
“HEADLESS BALLOT”
Colorado has what is known as the
“headless ballot,” that is, a voter
cannot cast a “straight” ticket by
emblem or writing in the name of
his party.
He must put a cross opposite the
name of every candidate he wishes to
support.
Of course,

“scratch” as it
straight.”
Summarizing the results, Wayne
C. Williams, a former attorney gen-
eral of Colorado, writes:
“The ten lines of this act have
done more to cripple the machine in
this state than anything else, except-
the primary.”
There’s a “tin” for Progressives
everywhere. Safeguard and liberal-
ize the primary and work for the
“headless ballot.” These are among
the most effective “tools of democra-
cy” ever devised by free men.

Proportional Representation
Congressman Victor. L. Berger of
FVisconsin, lone Socialist in the
House, . is out in a strong plea for
proportional representation.
“Qur methods of election were de-
rived from England,” he says, “and
England inherited them from the
time when suffrage was really based
on land ownership and the problems
of modern ‘democracy were un-
known.”
He gives many illustrations of the
unfair workings of the existing sys-
tem.
For example, in 1920 the Republi-
cans nolled a third of the vote in
Southern states, but they elected
only 12 out of 147 Congressmen.
In the last election New York So-
cialists cast 107,000 votes, but didn’t
elect a single Congressman. In the
same contest, 106,000 Republicans in
Maine named four Congressmen.

Bobby’s Sister
His Proxy
f
©
By DOROTHY DOUGLAS
(Copyright.)
OBBY was struggling with a re-
fractory tie and muttering strange
‘was advancing, and it was nearly time
when he should be arriving at the an-
ual dinner—that famous dinner which
‘had been held every year for the past
‘ten and for which there was an in
creasingly heavy fine each year for
even a moment’s tardiness.
~The other twelve men would be al-
‘ready cooling their heels and wonder-
Jing whether Bobby Granville would
appear or whether he would be fined
‘the one hundred dollars imposed on
-any one of the thirteen friends who
‘failed to appear for the annual dinner.
The first year the fine for non-
appearance was ten dollars and each
.year it jumped up another ten. In
. their early twenties, ten dollars had
‘seemed a lot of money; now in their
thirties, the hundred didn’t seem quite
so bad—still it was enough to be
there. Besides, the dinner was a
grand and glorious affair and especial-
ly as it was the only time during the
entire year that some of the friends
were able to enjoy a personal meeting.
The telephone rang imperiously as
Bobby was slipping into his immacu-
‘late dinner coat, A forceful word
flew from Bobby's lips as he picked
up the receiver.
When he hung it up he looked de-
jected.
Seeing his sister Peggy flitting past
shouted to her.
“Peggy—you’ve got to do me a fa-
vor tonight.
me up—urgent case—I must go. No
time to get a substitute for the dinner
and I can’t stand the’ racket just now
‘of that hundred-doliar fine. Hop into
your evening cloak and into a taxi,
quick. You've got to be a sport and
represent me at that dinner. Be a
darling, Peg—they're an awfully de-
cent bunch of men—”
“But, Bobby—it's a stag

the soup or fish and then retreat. I
just want you to be my proxy—save
the fine. Hustle—there’'s a dear.”
. So Peggy, her cheeks like crimson
roses and her eyes like stars,. had
bidding.
She quaked inwardly as she neared
come Bobby; but outwardly she was
the picture of feminine charm.

rose.
“I—I have come as Bobby Gran-
ingly and feeling the ordeal
concerting. ‘He suggested that I just
sit down and—well—toy with the first
course or two—then leave you—to en-
joy your dinner in Eveless peace.”
Even the married men of the twelve
and those that were nearly in double
harness realized the fact that Bobby
Granville had played a rather mean
trick on them all these years in hav-
ing concealed a sister like this from
them.
John Manners felt it most keenly.
He was about the only one of the
bunch neither tied nor half tied to the
matrimonial yoke. He felt he should
like to shake Bobby into an explana-
tion. He, John, had been circling the
globe in search of just such a wonder
woman as this sister of Bobby’s and
now she was going to be snatched
from his grasp after the soup or fish
course,
“I say,” he cried loudly to the elev-
en men—who were still wondering just
how to arrange a somewhat delicate
situation, but were all feeling a cer-
tain desire to keep this vision in their
midst; “couldn't you chaps call up
wives and near wives in a hurry and
get them here for this dinner. Sprint
out to the telephone booths and get
busy and Tll speak to the waiters
about doubling the places. What do
you all say?’
“Great head—that’s what we all
say,” came a quick response.
Meantime, Peg
laughed. 1
amusing creatures.
the particular man who had taken this
matter in his own hands and was now
having a heart-to-heart talk with the
head waiter had time also for swift
glances in her direction.
It wasn’t until he saw the extra
chairs being brought in and the table
being drawn out to accommodate dou-
ble the number it had been arranged
for that he came to sit beside her.
It was while a mass of pink flowers
was being brought in to decorate the
table—flowers that exactly matched
the glorious pink of Peggy’s frock—
that Bobby’s sister realized how won-
derfully thoughtful some men could
be—in fact, John Manners. Would
any other have thought of such deli-
cate flattery?
And it wasn’t long—at least it didn’t
seem but a moment to John and Peg-
gy—before wives, fiances began troop-
ing in to make the room merry and
far more lovely to look upon. But John
kept a close guard on Peggy and as a
matter of fact Peggy didn’t mind in
the least.
Her entrance to ‘a stag dinner and
also to love had been a simultaneous
affair.
