hunger and want and despair, and
to spend their few declining years
in poorhouses is a pitiful and tragic
indictment against the methods CT
our time.
"Indiana's pension law held out
to needy and destitute old men
and women the promise of bread;
instead, in some counties, they are
being handed stones. This is the
direct result of action of certain
officials in these counties and it is
one of the most shameful chapters
in Indiapa's history. Those officials
either have failed to appropriate
sufficient funds for pensions or
have deliberately ignored the provi-
sions of the law
They have killed in many old
hearts the last vestige of hope; they
have condemned hundreds of aged
poor to almshouses which in many
insts noes are far worse than places
in which the state confines GRIM
inals.

pooling the award of S1G,O0O,-

ton Company officials by the Two
lobbyists who claimed
that they could swing the deal be-
cause of their friendship with war
