OLD AGE PENSIONS
 HELP UNEMPLOYED
Ten States Have Laws to Pro-
 vide for Aged

New York, Dec. 19 UP)--In ten Of the IS states in this country there are laws on the statute books pro- viding old age pensions-a move which is playing q prominent part in the relief of the suffering caused by unemployment.
 In most cases the counties and state share the expense of the pen sion, and in d few states the law IS optional with the counties. In Wis ConSin eight counties have old age pension. An estimated total for 1880 Of $135, 00U-l7.50 q month per pen sloner-NaS paid out. Recipients must be more than 70 years old and d resident of the state for 1 ! years. The state bears one-third of the cost.
 Massachusetts law becomes efec- five July 1, 1931 Pensioners must he over 70 and have 70 years resi- dence in the state. Officials say it is impossible to estimate how much will be paid out in the first year. New York states law goes into ef- 4FII odlIbdiy I. tDlcitC anu tOulliiCS will share the cost equally. The estimated expenditure for the first year is S3O,OO000O
 Law Lies Dormant
 In Kentucky the law is dormant: inc only county which adopted it abandoned the plan after two- year trial Virtually the same sit nation exists in Maryland, where the legislature passed the bill but did not provide an appropriation. thus leaving the act imperative
 Recipients in Wyoming must be 65 years old, but it was said that the law was virtually imperative because payment is at the discretion of the county commissioners. The Colorado law permits city councils and county commissioners to create old age pension funds for payment Up 10 $l a day maximum.
 Moutana's old ago pension is ad- ministcred by the courts at discre- ton Of the individual county board. In 1929 the total disbursements were $l541jQ.
