Among the bills enacted into law
in the closing hours of the legislature
was the mothers pension bill. The
bill had been passed early in the week
by the senate and was reached on the,
house calendar Saturday night. 1t
passed without debate and with only
few scattered votes against it.
The bill provides that every mother,
whose husband is dead or is an inmate
of state institution, or is unable to
work because of mental arrangement,
and who supports her children by her
own labor, shall receive $40 a month
for one child and IS a month for each
additional child.
1t also provides that when a family
is only partly dependent on the moth
er's care she shall be paid such sum
as, added to her other income than
that derived from her labor, would be
paid her If the family were wholly
dependent on her for support.
1t provides that the payment of PEN
sions shall be decided upon by the jul
venile court, or in counties or cities
where no Juvenile court exists by the
court exercising such jurisdiction. The
court is given power to compel the at
tendance of witnesses and pay costs
of all hearings as they are paid in
criminal cases.

DEMAND THIS LABEL

Some time ago The Times called at
spring cleanup of the streets, alleys
and private.premises. With the advent
OF warmer weather and the thawing OF
the frost from the ground, the need for
that cleanup became imperative. The
rubbish piles should be removed and
every vestige of fly breeding refuse
hauled away. Twin Falls is getting
nearer every year to the flyless stage
due to the care exercised by the city
authorities and the citizens. It will
not take many years to accomplish a
much desired result if each person
will do his or her part in keeping clean
the premises.
