EXPENSES OF INSANE CARE fIT HIGH First Bill Under New Law Received by Marion County Court Species of Double Taxa tion Seen in Operation Of Statute Quite a discussion has been started over whether or not there should be a soup kitchen in eaiem. As far as we can see a pauper Isn't going to be pauperized much more by feeding him a bowl of soup than by letting him go without. Somewhere we have seen a social worker defined as someone who meddles In other peoples affairs." We let the definition slide without comment. Apparently there Isn't so much protest, however, about having a soup kitchen as there kt an argument about who's going la run It The soup kitch en Idea seems to be all right aa long aa one set of folks pots up the money and somebody else spends It for them. That seems to be the scientific basis of some of this social work, anyway, and so probably sooner or later It will work out mat way. But Just to a man up a tree the basic Idea of the whole thing does n't seem to be whether you call it a soup kitchen, whether one group operates It or ooesn t. But me reai nroblem Is ao the nungry man and his wife and kids eat? If that Is settled satisfactorily why worry who feeds them? -ao please pass the soup I Governor's Son Is Questioned About Death of Purser New York (IP) William H.

He said he had left his pistol, which was later found beside the body of Apud, In the dead man's room. Receipt by the Marlon county- court Friday from the state board of control of the first bills from the state under the new law re quiring counties to collect either from relatives or pay lor support of non-violent patients at the Ore gon State hospital, gives the first definite slant on the probable cost to the county under the new law, The bills for June and July as submitted to the court covering non-violent Insane cases in both the eastern Oregon and the main state hospital at Salem, aggregate $2352.98. On such a basis or at rate of $1176.44 a month which these bills would average, the cost to the county for the 12 months would be $14,117.29, or approxima tely $15,000. But under the the law the county Is required to collect the cost of maintenance from relatives as far as possible. The money so collected will reduce the cost to the county to some extent.
