It was declared by James W. Mott, former Clatsop county member of the state legtslatare and now a Salem attorney. In a talk before the Salem Lion club Friday. This could he done at no great er expenae than the present cost of maintaining poorhonses, be cause a greater proportion of the amount expended wonld be for ac tual living expenses of the per sona aided and not so much for salaries -of caretakers and atten dants. Mr. Mott explained. Poorhonses can never he any thing bnt. the institutions ot dis grace which they have been for 300 years, he declared. Intended as a residence for Indigents who have no income, they are really dump grounds for derelicts ot all sorts: criminals, drug addicts. prostitutes, illegitimate children and their mothers. Thousands of persons have preferred death by starvation to the poorhouse. The old age penaion Is not a new idea; it is in nse ia nearly half of the states, and India. Chi na and the United States are the only nations which do sot have national old age pension laws, Mr. Mott declared.

"I observe that I am mention ed as a possible candidate for the republican nomination for gov ernor." he writes. "I think 'it would be very unfortunate if the people got the idea that I was us ing, or trying to use, my position as a member of the state highway commission as a means of politi can advancement "So tar politics has been pret ty well kept out of the highway commission activity and it should continue to be kept out but the people may get the idea that it is creeping in if there is a renewed or continued suggestion in the news that I may be a candidate. I am not a candidate, so please leave me out."
