" A representative of the Friendly Societies stated that the Victorian Act of 1903 was distinctly discouraging to the exercise of thrift, inasmuch as it provided for depriving tlie widow or repre- sentative of a Friendly Society member who had been a pensioner of any sum payable by the Society at his death. It appears from the evidence of the Govern- ment Statist of Victoria that the pensioners in AUSTRALIAN OLD-AGE PENSIONS 61 that Colony are only 17 per cent, of the popula- tion above sixty-f...ive years of age, while those in New South Wales are nearly 44 per cent. Nothing could show in a more striking manner the effect of different principles of administration. If New South ^^''ales is right, Victoria must be depriving more people of pensions that ought to be paid to them than the whole number of actual pensioners. If Victoria is right, New South Wales must be paying pensions to more than twice as many people as ought to have them. It is curious to observe that Sir Edward Hamilton's Committee estimated the number of pensionable persons in the United Kingdom at 32j per cent, of the population above sixty-five years of age.
