THE MOTHERS PENSION Law

WAHE LAW passed last winter per.
sioning dependent mothers is LA.
BILE to cause considerable trouble
Il before it is placed on a satisfac-
tory basis. theoretically it is
all right, but in putting it in operation
a number of unforeseen conditions have
arisen, some of them of such q charac.
ter that some changes in the law will
be required. In the first place there
are many more to claim the benefit of
the law than was at first supposed. Ap-
plications are pouring in to al the
judges, and the grand total Of the am.
cunts that must be paid out is assum.
ing alarming figures.
There are some peculiar things come
to the surface, too. For instance, the
law provides for paying this pension to
any woman whose husband is confined
in any Of the state institutions but in
the case of the woman whose husband
has abandoned her, there is no relief,
no provision made, though she is in
about as bad shape as any. She has
a husband, but she hasn't one. She
cannot be aided by the law, because in
the eyes Of the law she has a husband
to provide for her, but she hasn t one,
in fact. She is a widow to all intents
and purposes, but not in the eyes of the
law when it comes to aiding her. In
the meanwhile the crop of widows ap-
pears to be phenomenally large much
bigger than the makers of the law had
any idea of. The idea of the law was
to keep the children of poor families
together and under their mother s care
rather than have them placed in char,
liable institutions at public expense
The intent was good, and with some
changes the law will probably prove Of
real benefit, 1t will be tried out by
the time the Legislature meets again.
