on it.
Since the election Vice Chairman
Culbertson has been shunted to Ru-
mania, Commissioner Lewis is off the
board and now the recommendation
has been rejected. These men were
among those who made the recon-
mendation.
Now a man who is known to have
the welfare of the sugar combine at
heart is offered the senate as an APP
pointee to the tariff commission.
The appointment is daring one
almost challenge to the senate. Will
it go through?

OLD AGE PENSION
LAWS

Pointing out that old age pension
laws represent a struggle to protect
wage-earners against dependence In
their old age" the American Fedora
tion of Labor at its 1924 convention
in Ell Paso declared that mo effort
should be spared to defend these ola
age pension laws against attacks
Experience under the old age PEN
sion law enacted in Montana in 1923
shows that the cost is remarkably
low. Official reports covering the
first nine months operation Of the act
give S65.5O as the average amount
paid to persons pensioned. This is
about $87 year, even less than the
expectations of the legislature, which
fixed maximum pension of $500 a
year for each eligible person.
A decision handed down February 2
by the supreme court of Pennsylvania
in the case of Busser VS.. State Treas
urer, holds the old age assistance act

unconstitutional. In this the earlier
adverse decision Of the Dauphin coun-
ty court was sustained. A peculiar
provision of the Pennsylvania consti-
tuition stood in the way of the act to
pension aged dependents. This pro-
vision declares that mo appropria-
tions, except for pensions or gratui-
ties for military services, shall be
made for charitable, educational or
benevolent purposes to any person or
community, nor to any denominations
al or sectarian institution, corporation
or association" The court still leaves
unsettled the question whether this
constitutional provision also invali-
dates the existing mothers pension
act, although the decision argues that
this and the teachers and judges re-
tirement acts rest on different basis
from that of pensions for aged de-
pendents.
