.BUSHEY FAILS TO
GIVE ANY PENSIONS
Says Widows Act Is Vicious in Hav.
ing Tendency to Injure Interest
Of Widows With Families.
SAYS CERTAIN WOMEN DO
NOT TRY TO GET ALONG
Cites Instance of Woman Who Makes
No Effort to Make Her Living
Since Law Is IN Effect.

That the widow pension act, passed
by the last legislature is vicious, for
the reason it is having a tendency to
injure the interests of widows with
families, instead of assisting them, is
the opinion of County Judge Bushey.
He has granted no pensions under the
law In an interview this morning,
Judge Bushey said:
"The widows pension law is not
only drawn up in such a way as to give
widows with families the proper bene-
fit, but it has a tendency to injure the
applicant. This court has cases on file
right now that will bear out my belief
in the matter, too. Here not long ago,
a woman applied for a pension who
did not need it, and today she is worse
off than ever. This widow lives in Sa.
lem. She has five children. Prior to
her making application for a pension,
she worked and supported her family
better than so per cent of the people in
Salem. She put money in the bank, and
was getting along well under the cir
cumstances, and her neighbors envied
her thrift. But, she finally heard of
the internal pension law and imme-
diately applied for the same. Since
that day this very same woman has
not tried to get along. Her neighbors
tell me that she sits around and just
waits for that pension, while her bank
account is dwindling, and her former
good reputation as worker is leaving
her.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY


who compose the committee appointed
by the acting mayor, and it does not
believe that the real genuine mayor,
fresh from the east though he is, could
have made better selection for the
purpose. Each and every one of them
is man of affairs, has an interest in
the city as large as the morning paper
has, and certainly as capable of know
ing what is best for the city as that or
any other paper or any other citizen.
We believe these gentlemen will give
their time and talents freely and gen,
erously for the benefit of the city, and
that whatever they do or suggest will be
for the best interest of ALL The dirty
insinuation in the question: eff men
whose time is valuable give so much of
that time, to preparing an extensive lie,
gal document, what is the motive for
such generosity Who is to be benefit,
ed by the introduction of this measure
at this time3" is unworthy even of the
paper that made it.
Acting Mayor Siegmund picked as
able and competent a lot of gentlemen
for this work as it was possible to have
selected in Salem, and the insinuation
that whatever they do or suggest will be
dirty underhanded work, that they had
some hidden interest to serve some pri-
vate ends to accomplish, some "nigger
in the woodpile" which would result in
their gain and the injury of the balance
of the city, is gratuitous insult to
them, as well as to the entire commun.
ity.
As to its being necessary for the peo.
pie to have year, or until 1914 to
think over the matter of commission
form of government, that is the veriest
rot There is utter dissatisfaction with
the present formo { government, and
with the universal praise given the COM
mission government by every city that
has tried it, the people are as fully in
formed as they need to be and are as
ready to vote on the matter intelligent.
ly now as they will be in a month or a
year from now. In fact the disgust
with the present form of government is
wide spread II is not Salem meas.
ure by any means, but one that is ma.
tion'wide in its extent. 1t is not aimed
at the present city officials, mayor or
council, but is a fight and a protest
against the system.
The morning paper also asks: "If
men have been working upon this new
charter so long that the completed doc.
ument was almost ready, as stated by a
councilman on Monday evening in the
council chamber why has it been kept
so quiet when the matter is of such vi.
tai interest to the people1"
We do not know, but humbly suggest
that men undertaking such things as
preparing a city charter or anything
else for submission to the people, do
not generally go around with a brass.
band telling people about it. 1t is uf.
ficient if when they have completed
their labors, they submit the result
thereof to the people for an open and
free discussion, and that is what has
been DONE or will be done in this cose
There is no niger in any woodpile nm.

rived, say last night. Submitting the
proposed charter can injure no one, and
1t is time to criticise it when It gets
ripe and is submitted to the public for

She Has Bank Account.

"To show you that people will take
advantage of this law, we have case
now before us Of a woman who owns a
little farm near Silverton, and, if we
grant her pension, the county will be
compelled to issue her monthly pay
ment Of $77 On top of this, the wo-
man advises us that she has an $500
bank account, but dom want to draw
from it to pay her monthly payments
on a mining claim. Now that sounds
reasonable, don't it9 This woman is
comparatively in more than comfort
able circumstances, but still she wants
that monthly allowance Of $77.
"The law in itself is vicious. Tt in
vites laziness and carelessness among
families who formerly got along nicely.
Just as soon as widow who is getting
along well and progressing every day
learns that she can get a pension from
the county, sheer the majority of
them, I will say-immediately considers
that her work is finished, and just as
long as she can live on the pension she
shouldn't work any more.
"The law that has been in effect all
the time is amply sufficient to cover
all cases of poverty that come under
our jurisdiction. We are vested with
authority to assist those who need fl.
nancial assistance, and this court will
lend that aid in order to keep families
together"

to ripen this year about the goth
