CHANCE FOR GRAFT
IN PENSION LAW
Sioux City Man Thinks Judges Should
Issue Orders for Short Terms
Requires Vigilance.

Although no applications have been
filed in this country for widows PEN
sions, there is liable to be at any
time. The following from the Sioux
City Tribune giving the views Of SEN
ator Farr, show the possibilities for
graft in this law:
"The new widows pension act has
opened up a wide avenue for graft and
unless the court carefully watches all
cases the county will be out a large
amount of money which might be
saved" declared Senator e. P. Farr.
81 do not believe that the court, in al
lowing pensions to widows, should
fix the term at the limit of the law,
which is until the children are Ia
years old. The orders should be grant
ed for period OF possibly three
months and the widows be required to
make application for renewals.
THE law was passed with the in.
tention of giving temporary aid to
needy widows who were found proper
guardians for their children and who.
through poverty or sickness might be-
unable to keep their families togeth-
er without aid. The widow may need
the pensions only for few weeks, a
few months. or they may need them
until the children are IA years of age.
Watching this feature carefully,
the county can save much money. At
ter a pension has been granted and
the term of three months elapsed, the
bailiff, or any court official, could be
sent out to investigate the Widows
circumstances and report to the court.
Then ii the widow still required aid
the court could grant renewal. If it
were found that the emergency hao
passed and the widow was then able,
the court would stop the pension.
"As it is under the law. If the

Mr. MCGEE met death enjoying his

Mr.. MCGEE would start out by himself

evening.
Mr.. MCGEE was going down to the

opposite where the Henry Bosse was
overturned. 1t is thought he was
walking down the tracks and when he
saw the passenger train stepped to
one side, but did not get far enough
from the tracks to escape being
brushed as the train passed him
Members OF his family advance the
opinion that the strong headlight OF
the train probably blinded him, SO that
he thought his position safe one.
Struck Between Eyes.
After Mr.. MCGEE had been hit this
train stopped and members of the
crew rushed back and found him II
a sitting position with his head ben
forward almost to the groud. He wa!
