10 Days Before Fact Was
Discovered

E. w. Sandelin, IS, Oroville or
chardist, was found dead Sunday at
his farm home three and one-half
miles east of Oroville by neighbors
who suspected something had hap
pened to him when he failed to ap
pear about his home for several
days.
Sheriff Boyd Hilerbrand and
Deputy Price Fruit investigated
the case, but found nothing that
indicated there had been foul play.
They said yesterday that death UNI
doubleday was due to natural
causes.
BY examining mail that had been
left in the mailbox, the authorities

Use General Fund
To Pay Pensions
State Has $lo,ooo,ooo Paper APP
preparation To Finance
Payments

OLYMPIA, July % With
a $1O,OOO,OOU paper appropriation
by the 1885 legislature, the State
of Washington is paying old age
pensions directly out of the state
general fund.
The state abandoned its old plan
of having counties pay pensions
because no adequate way Of financ-
ing them was discovered. Formerly
the state pad contributed horse
racing and liquor profits toward
pensions.
Under the new system pensions
are handled by the newly created
state department of public welfare
which replaced the Washington
Emergency Relief Administration.
Special Taxes Assessed
The two per cent retail sales tax
the occupational tax and II other
types of taxes were enacted by the
1885 legislature to finance govern
ment, schools, relief and pensions
The tax bill is expected to raise $685.
00O,CO the next two years.
The state will retain it's share or
horse race betting and liquor pro-
fits to help finance pensions up tt
$50 month.
Frank Dowd, supervisor of old age
pensions, estimated the state woulc
pay 5000 pensions by the middle OF
July and would have as high as co.
900 applicants for money.
The states pension law requires
person to be IS years of age anc
a state resident tive out of the last
10 years. All applications for pen
sions will be investigated by the
welfare department before grants
are made.
The law was drafted to take adj
vantage of any federal aid con-
gress may give states in financing
pension program. Under Washing.
tons old county system, which
proved unsatisfactory, few pension:
were paid, due to lack of funds.
