SAFEGUARDS ARE RAISED Wonnin Believe Advantage Is Taken : of Statute by Undeserving and Qualifications Should Be Made Course Indorsed. The widows' pension law, which went into effect in Oregon last year, In all probability will be amended in the near future if the efforts of the case committee and the resolution passed by the Oregon Federation of "Women's Clubs have sufficient influ ence. . At the recent meeting- of the feder ated clubs of the state in Eugene a resolution was adopted recommending . several amendments to the law. It was called to the attention of the club women that In certain instances the beneficiaries had taken advantage of the law and that the taxpayers were being burdened wrongfully. To ob viate this objection the amendments Were suggested. The subject will be taken up at the etate convention of the Oregon Con gress of Mothers In Portland October 28, 29 and 30, and prominent members of the organization predict that the amendments will be adopted unani mously by that body also. Women Suggest Changes. ' The suggested amendments include the following provisions: That in resard to the amendments to the widows' nenslon law. that thla Federation recommeiy): A three veara residence In the atate, and one year In the county be necessary before a nenslon he srranted. That amendments be drafted covering; the points suggested by the questlonaire sent out by the legislative committee, expressing; par tlcularly the opinion that pensions are in tended for the immediate living- expenses of the family and are not to be shared with the relations, or for use in property im provements, except the home itself. -"That the maximum sum of $40 be named, and that the sum per child allowed under the present law be retained. eyThat proper safeguards as to mental, moral and physical fitness of the mother to cure for her children be placed In the law. That we oppose rrantinjr pensions to those who own nrooertv other than the home, and that the law be amended to provide against this. Also to provide that the pension may be withheld in cases where institutional care is procurable for the father Incapacitated throuirh disease which endangers the he<n and well-beina- of the children. We ask for a continuation of this commit, tee to co-operate with the widows' pension committee of the Mothers' Congress. Mothers May Indorse Proposal. Mrs. R. E. Bondurant, state chairman of the widows' pension committee for the Oregon Congress of Mothers, In speaking of the action of the clubs and the probable co-operative attitude of the congress last night, said: "The case committee has watched the workings of the law carefully, with the best in terests of the taxpayers and the de pendent women and children ever at heart, and after practical testing of the law. decided that some amendments tnust be made. "We drafted the clauses that sug gested the changes. We have looked into the matter thoroughly and tried to consider every angle and feel that the amendments will be just and are glad that the federation has adopted them." Judge Favors Step. Among those on the case committee are Mrs. Milton Kahn, of the Council of Jewish Women: Mr a. A- Honham, of the Congress of Mothers; Mrs. Martin Wagner, president of the Portland Parent-Teacher Association; Mrs. Mar garet Thoroman, of the Associated Charities and a member of the Portland Woman's Club; Mrs. A. E. Borthwick, prominent in club and social service work; Mrs. C. W. Hayhurst, active in Juvenile Court work and chairman of the social service department of the Portland Parent-Teacher Associations. Mra K. D. Cannon was a member, but has moved away. Judge Gatens, of the Juvenile Court, In commenting on the proposed amend ments, said: "The law as adopted was an experi ment. It was a humanitarian effort. The amendments were advisable. I am in favor of them and think the clubs did right to indorse them. The case committee has worked faithfully and has attempted in all instances to do the right thing. Caring for the wid ows and orphans and for all who are dependent is always a problem. I think It will all work out well in the end and co-operation will spell success." WOODLAND IS PROSPEROUS Kew Business Blocks and Several Residences Under Construction. WOODLAND, Wash., Oct. 17.
