PENSION MOTHERS
NEW STATE LAW
Best Creation of Recent Legis-
lature

In this world of uncertainty and
doubt, there is n ever constant,
loyal person-mother! Fame may
pass vou by; fortune may evade you.
your best girl may give you the
cold, stony stare-but their is one
person left to whom you may al
WAYS turn for a welcome.
And their is nothing too good for
mother. If the last legislature did
nothing else, its members may feel
satisfied and proud Of one act, at
least.
Among the last of the bills of the
house which the senate accepted was
the Mcfarland mothers pension act.
The provisions of this act are to au-
thorize counties to levy a special
tax to raise a fund to carry out the
provisions Of the law. which allows
on a proper showing to the county
court. by an applicant in person,
or by a friend. the payment to a
mother with dependent children SIS
per month for one child, and 81 per
month for each additional child un-
der fourteen years of age. There is
a limit of six months on each pay
ment. but tire county court may
continue the payments for addition,
al six months so long as the court,
after proper Investigation. thinks
the money should be paid. The
object of the law being to allow
a mother with small children a COM
~pensation by right. instead Of char
ity, which will allow her to hold the
family together, supplementing
such earnings as she may be able to
secure for herself.

law to repeal the Curtiss publicity

tional amendments and referred
laws.
One OF the advance measures en-
acted was the mothers pension act,
which the senate adopted as one of
its last measures, and which allows
counties to assist mothers sho have
the care of dependent children left
to them.
The bill regulating saloon licenses

looms. The bill does not affect exist
ing saloon licenses.
