Burden Heavy but Help Is
More Efficient, Claim
of Lions Speaker
The state government has tak

which 4J.00ftiare now receiving
some form of relief or institution

executive secretary to Governor
Martin, told the Salem Lions club
yesterday. The reduction In the
old ace pension limit from 70 to
CS years next year wLU add
000 to that number, he estimated.
Wharton suggested that while
the auto's burden of relief and
institutional care appeared great.
It represented, to a considerable
extent a responsibility from wwcn
nrivata agencies had been re
leased. He maintained that
through elimination of duplica
tion in aid and the savings
through mass buying care of tne
public charges was being more
efficiently administered by the
state. n
6565 In Institutions
The state as of last month, had
f SSS wards in institutions,' was
advise direct relief to 23,500 peo
ple, pensions to 12,638 aged per
sons and assistance to sis puna.

boys' training school, 9; state
blind school, 7T; state deaf school
116. !.,
Increases in population at the
state hospitals for the Insane re
fleets the almost complete die
continuance of county poor farms
Wharton said. The proportion . of
senility cases at the hospitals has
risen from 12 to nearly 30 per
cent.
