Federal Government Asks Refund
Part 1t Pays, If Pensioner
Leaves Estate.

According to a news item from
Helena, $685. applications for old
age pensions have been approved
by the Montana old age pension
commission and payments totaling
$147,136 are scheduled for distri-
button the first of next month.
However, a legal technicality has
been discovered by Charles Stew
ems, state publicity director, which
may retard the start of the pro-
gram.
Mr.. Stevens states that word
was received Tuesday by the
Montana relief commission, the
old age pension commission and
the state administration that no
provision has been made in the
law passed by the last legislature
for reimbursing the federal gov
eminent where beneficiaries of
the pension plan leave estates
that would pay back the pension
money advanced.
The law provides that an aged
man or woman with a home that
does not bring them income is
entitled to a pension, but that
when he or she dies the state mas
q first lien against the property
for reimbursing the money ad-
vanced as pension by the state.
The law makes no porvision for
reimbursing the federal govern
ment for the one-half of the pen
sion it advances.
Washington authorities have
asked that the Montana law be
amended in this respect, but it
was pointed out that it would be
session of the legislature at a
cost Of $300,OO0 for this single
amendment when a regular ses-
sion is scheduled for next Janu-
airy.
These figures must be errone-
GUS, as there would be no need Of
a special session of the legisla-
ture lasting more than two or
three days. and with per diem

JESSE w. MOORE LAID
AT REST WEDNESDAY

The pallbearers, all close neigh
bors of many years standing,
were N. I. Goodell, c. L. Doggett,
Vern Melville, Albert Olson, An
ton Person and G. S. Mcdowell,
1nterment was in the Hardin
cemetery.
Jesse W. Moore was born in
Tennessee April S, 1852. When
five years of age he moved with
his parents to Cass county, Mis-
souri,: On Dec. z, 1875, he was
married to Laura Roberts. To this
union were born six children, two
dying in infancy. One son, Ben
W. Moore, passed away in 1925.
Two daughters and one son, Mrs.
M. I. Masterson, Mrs. Elsie Cowan,
both of Long Beach Calf, and
one son, VIM. B. Moore of Hardin,
Mont, survive.
In January, 1899, he moved with
his family to Bozeman, Mont,
and in 1912 moved onto the North
Bench seven miles northwest of
Hardin, where he resided until
the death of his wife in 1925.
Since that time he has made his
home with his children, going
last fall to the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Masterson, at Long
Beach, Calf.
Besides his children he is sur
vived by ten grandchildren, name
ly: Mrs. Cecil Wagner, Mrs. Leon
ard Wagner, Carl, Dena and LOIS
Moore, all of Hardin; Neal and
Fay Cowan, Paul and Jack Mas
terson, of Long Beach, and Nor
mar Masterson of Chicago, III.
An attempt to express in words
the praise worthy of the life and
character of Jesse Moore would
be futile and surely unnecessary
for those who knew him and loved
him. He was a man among men,
meeting life's problems without
complaint and asking no special
privileges. The esteem in which
he was held by his near neigh
bors was attested by the fact that
practically everyone of them were
in attendance at the last rites.

Machinery for putting the old
age pension law into operation in
Montana is complete. County re-

OF the applications approved,

Big Horn county's pension roll
