GOVERNOR GETS APPEALS
FROM HELPLESS MOTHERS

Springfield, H., Aug. 2S-Nearly
every mail brings to Governor Dunno
piteous appeals from mothers seeking
a pension for themselves and their des-
titute fatherless children.
Nearly all of these writers assume
that the pensions, under the new law
which went into effect on July l, this
year, are paid by the state and that
the gov-rnor has control over them.
Many other letters reach the gov
ernor, making inquiries as to the terms
OF the law.
Interest in its appears to be wide
spread, but it will be news to practi-
cally very county court and county
board to know that this law requires
the levying annually of a tax of not
more than three tenths of one mill
upon the 500 of assessed value of the
county. Such fund is to be known as
the mothers pension fund.
The mothers pension act, which is
now in effect, is mandatory upon the
county and the county or juvenile
court.
The levy of the tax is mandatory.
The county board has no option in the
matter. The petition for pension
may be presented to the juvenile or
county court and the court must take
cogniGance Of it and decide the case
upon its merits. If under the terms
OF the law the mother, petitioning for
the pension, is worthy and eligible, the
court must issue the proper order and
the county board must pay the amount
specified by the court.
The new law is the result of two
years of experience with a loosely
drawn statute which had failed to pro-
duce good effects. The county treas
ury is hedged about with many safe
! guards and the number of those who
may properly draw pension under the
definitions of the law will be compar-
atively small.
Those who believe they are entitled
to pension should take their case
directly to the juvenile court, or, In the
absence OF such court, to the county
court. where the procedure will be ex
planned.
The statute provides for opening
hearing in the court of the petition
and all steps are made a matter OF
record. The court is required to ap
point probation officers to see thai
the money is properly expended and &c
Oversee the home which the pension is
designed to keep together.
