PENS Q
CHANGES
Amendments Offered to Law
by Clubs Seem to Meet
With General Favor.
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."
