(Salem Bureau of The Journal.) . Salem, Or., Oct. 21. It la difficult to . Obtain definite Information , regarding the mother who have applied to the Marlon county court for assistance un dr the provisions of tho widows' , pen sion law. ',' This seems due to the fact 1 that County Judge Bushey, who Is much ' opposed; to the law and has refused to recognise it, says he has turned the ap plications, all over to Mrs. 'Hattle M. Jackson, Juvenile .officer, and ' Mrs. Jackson says she is too busy to furnish , the Information. ' , . , , ' But Mrs. Jackson found time to, say that approximately 75 applications for Cpnsiona hurt hD -oral vi1. . Rh ld sue naa : investigated over nan 01 me eases, i , i '," j: ' . "Borne of these were ' worthy," ' said Mrs. Jackson, ''and If the Judge had been granting; pensions at all. they certainly would, have received them. - But you know the Judge has not graated any. . be down.-and they would, flock bare with applications," - - , , , . ' , Judge Sxaggemtad. ,, "It was reported that ' Judge Buaney said if all the applications for pensions . were granted It would cost the county $18,000 a month," said the reporter. "How do you figure that, with only 76 applications?" - - - ' "That whs a little exaggerated," re ' piled Mrs. Jackson. "One day the Judge was vexed and I think he said if any itf fhiiRA nnnnlnnfli war rfnftf aA I WAllM cost the county $12,000 a month. He probably 'meant there would ba many more applications." -"t ' Estimating that each applicant would require $30 a month, which would prob ably; be the maximum among individual cases instead of an average,. It ; would take $2250 a month to provide lor those Who have applied.' , "In , each case I Investigated 1 1 told the .mother that she could be entered as a pauper and ; receive assistance from the county in that way.' said Mrs. Jack son, "and not one would do It That was- pretty conclusive evidenoe to my mind that they were not so needy but that they could pet along. They always have got along, anyway." . . V t" 'Too Busy to Bother," Mr, i Jackson was asked for definite Information regarding some of the fam ilies -she had investigated and found to b worthy in case Judge Bushey com plied with the law In granting any pen sions at all , She, said she had taken notes of all the cases, but she kept the - information at home, and that she was too bus? to bother with It unless the Judge Intended Jto take, up the cases. "I'm a very busy woman," she said. "I dismiss there .matters from my miner as soon as I am through with them, andvatt no pensions have been allowed, I have-not given the matter any atten tion Tor some time. I am wasting my time now talking to you, when X should be at work." , , - , Jrtr Jackson said only one applies-, tion' for a pension bad been received in tht last two months.- '.
