rns month a group representing these people, and headed by the Cana: dian Chamber of Commerce. wi!l ap proach the government to argue that its“excuse will not stand up. A sub- Mission will be made, suggesting ways and means of setting up a practical system of refunding overpayments. The, injustice arises when a worker changes jobs. during the year. The pension plan requires employers and employees each to contribute an

} amount equal to 1.8 per cent of the

worker's earnings between $500 and

$5,000 a year. But where a worker .

earns more than the maximum level, _ his deductions are made at a rate that pays his contribution in Jess than a year—perhaps in eight or nine. months. If the worker then changes his job, his new job is treated, for pension purposes, as if this were the only one he has held during the vear, His new employer—makes— pension

If any one—-individual, firm or corporation—-pays the. government too much money in taxes, refunds are demanded and made. There seems no good reason why this principle should not apply in the case of the pension fund. ‘Continued government refusal do anything to correct this injus- tice’ says the Free Press, “must lead to the conclusion that laziness and cupidity rather than efficiency and— fairness motivate the operation of the © fund.” Coming from a staunch Lib- eral organ, this comment speaks. for itself. :
