SUPERANNUATION.
OiibC of these line days the population of New Zealand which does not draw its pay from the Treasury chest will n waken to the fact that it is being hied u.n mercifully to provide pensions for those who are drawing permanent, if not always fat salaries from the State. IT will then, require to know the ,reason«why. Years ago the system of pensions to State employees was 'Supposed to "have been abolished. But in its place there has grown up a system of supe'rannuatrion— which is another name for pensions —of a more comprehensive and pernicious character. In every Department where superannuation has been installed, the .salaries have been increased, so that it is the State, and not the individual., which is providing: the pension.
If superannuation, 'at the expense of the State, is good for the Civil Servant, it should bo equally good for the private individual. And the private individual], will bo an. assinine creature if ihe does not insist upon getting it.
