Judge t' Bashey Js ; Openly Up-

. (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.- '.
