Editorial Sees Growing Burden Of Old Age Pensions
The Financial Post estimates that in the coming fiscal year the Dominion Government will contribute about thirty million dollars for old age pensions, roughly five percent of federal revenues. The piece urges Rowell Commission review, calls for a contributory system with shared costs, and warns of provincial abuses and shifting burdens to general taxpayers. It stresses publicity as a key check on abuses and the need for coordinated federal provincial action.
