STATE HELPS WITH SERUM
PAYS Half of Vost of Enough to In

TALLAHASSEE, Oct. 24.-(Spec-
ial. 1.-The State Live Stock Sanitary
Board has closed a contract for the
purchase of anti-hog-cholera SER
UNI and virus under the provisions of
the law passed by the last legisla-
ture at ninety cents per one hundred
cubic centimeters, at which price it
will be sold by the Board to hog
raisers and farmers of this State.
This is saving of fifteen cents per
ose hundred cubic centimeters over
the lowest price made in the first bids
received, which were rejected as I'M
satisfactory. This price will mean
a saving of forty per cent of the
price that has heretofore been charg-
ed by most of the reliable manufac-
turers.
TIE law provides that any hog
owner can secure an amount up to
1900 cubic centimeters, which is
sufficient to innOculate thirty we'll
hogs of one hundred pound weight
at one-half cost, the other half being
paid for by the State. All applica-
tons for serum and virus for which
the State pays one-half must be made
upon regular forms of application
which may be had from any Federal
sor State veterinarian or other per-
son authorized to administer the
same and must be approved by such
authorized person, and in all cases,
must be accompanied by Post Office

Skunk Bill Goes
to Subcommittee

The Skunk bill authorizing the
Public Service Commission to sus-
pend new rates when litigation is
commenced was referred TO a special
committee consisting of Senators
Eyre, Sones and Boyd at the conclu-
sion of hearing by the Senate ju-
dietary special committee at which
representatives of municipalities and
legislators urged it's enactment and
street railway men opposed it. The
measure passed the House recently.
y number of persons from various
parts of the State voiced objections
against the rebate system of collect
ing unauthorized increased fares,
and claimed that in many cases, the
rebate slips were delivered only
upon demand.
Gordon Campbell, president of the
Pennsylvania Street Railway Asso-
citation declared that the present
Public Service law is we'll adapted to
the states needs. Mr.. Campbell
said that it was impractical to wait
until the Public Service Commission
has spent months in tigating
the case, before raising the rates.

NEW BILL FOR
MOTHERS AID
Nickerman'S Administrative
Measure Submitted to
House

Representative John w. Wicker
man of Allegheny county who has
had had charge of mothers pension
legislation during the last three ses-
Sions last night introduced into the
House the re-drafted act, which
provides for two important changes.
The law now allows maximum
grants of s12 for one child. S20 for
two children, S26 for three. and S5
for each additional child
The new bill provides a max mum
of $50 per month for one child
and $40 for each additional child.
This change is rendered absolutely
necessary by the great increase in
the cost of living which has taken
place since the law was passed in
1913. The Monthly Labor Review
of the Bureau of Labor Statistics
points out that the cost of living
has increased from December 1914
to August 1918 more than 60 per
cent, but the mothers receiving
grants are still dependent upon the
allowances which were thought ade-
quate six years ago. 1t cost an aver
age last year of S1S.4S to take care
of a child in the 90 institutions of
tionS. New York State allows the
boards of trustees to grant a mother
the same amount per child that it
would cost to care for the child in
an institution. Wyoming already al
lows $50 a month for one child ana
$40 for each additional, which is
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-04-02

what the trustees are now asking
the Legislature to permit them to
give.
The second important change in
Mr.. Nickerman's bill is that which
provides reduction in the residen-
tial requiremnt. Now n mother
must live three years continuously
in a county before she is eligible to
assistance. The new bill requires
that she live one year in the county
and two years in the State to be-
come eligible. The following states
now require a state residence of
tana, Nebraska. New Hampshire,
New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Ten
nessee. and Utah. 1t is particularly
necessary to change the law now,
because so many families which had
a long residence in one county have
been compelled to move because of
war work into another county. The
men in many cases died either of
influenza or some other cause in the
new county. leaving their families
without support; they were thus in
eligible to assistance in the new
county and they had lost their resi-
dence according to the present law
in the old one. The new bill also
provides that a family does not lose
it's residence in Il county in which it
has acquired it. until ii has been re-
moved from such county for one
year.
Thirty-siX states and Alaska now
have mothers pension laws. The
PENNSYLVANIA law which provides for
the administration through county
boards of women trustees with Il
State supervisor is considered a
standard law throughout the cornt-
ry. and the states of New York and
Delaware patterned their laws upon
it.
Forty counties are now organized
under mothers pension law, and a
number of counties will come into
the system as soon as the new APP
preparation is available in June.
Within the next few years it is con-
tidently expected that Mothers Pen
sions will be available in all of the
counties.
The law is a part of the educa-
tional machinery of the State. The
State helps the mother to support
her children while they are in
