Pensions. With the elimination of politics the civil service has become a career, steady and free from risk. But the salaries are not high in relation to the capacity required, and as a rule they begin low with a small increment for each year-of service. They are not large enough to provide for illness and old age ; and, hence, along with the progress of reform there grew up a demand for pensions. The law on the subject, although frequently amended, is still based upon the Superannuation Act of... 1859, which grants to ''persons who shall have served in an established capacity in the permanent civil service of the state" for ten years, and retire at sixty years of age or by reason of infirmity, a pension equal to ten sixtieths of their final salary. For every additional year of service another sixtieth is added up to a maximum of forty sixtieths. Provision has been made, also, for the case of injuries received in the public service ; while more recent statutes have authorised gratuities to women em- ployees upon marriage — an allowance apparently given, as in the case of the other grants, rather in a spirit of com- miseration, than in order to encourage matrimony.
