Even then, nobody thought of pen sions for anybody but veterans of the Civil War. Now the American Legion comes out for pensions for soldiers’ widows, and the Veterans o^f Foreign Wars is advocating pensions for all veterans, and on top of that, Dr. Townsend and his followers would pension 'everybo'dy over 60 years old, while almost every class of public servant, from school teachers and policemen to Governors, are nowadays being pensioned at public ‘expense. It is as understandable human desire to live comfortably in old age without working. But I have never been able to convince myself that it is society’s duty to provide anything beyond decent subsistence for the indigent aged. THRIFT .... best pensions il have not seen in any of the projects ^ for supporting old people at public expense anything that does as much for them as every man can do for 'himself if he wi'ls E^’ en the contributorv old age ben efit plan of the So.ial Scnr;ity Act does not provide for as large Washington would always in have more power.

That view was terly contested by , Jefferson Madison, but every one of the justices of the Supreme Court held Hamilton, although they not all agree on the AAA cas( other points at issue. There is hardly a phase of national developm€nt that has followed along the lines and j ciples first laid down by Alexa: Hamilton—who died at 47 MONEY J. P.
