Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1933. OLD AGE PENSION MODIFICATION BY , With dlpsoaa by the legislature of the liquor control bill, modification of the old age pension law, as recom mended by the county Judges of the state Is anticipated. Very few of the 30 Oregon counties made any pro visions for the old age pension, be cause of lack of funds. The county court estimated that the old age pn Hon would cost Jackson county $180, 000 annually and that 780 person pest the age of To years would be eligible. In the neighborhood of 1000 applications were expected. The legislature la expected to trim the old age pension law, so most of the counties can abide by It, January 1, and still keep within the tw limitations. One plan Is to change the 93000 exemption now provided, to a lower bracket, and Increase the necessary length of residence In the stt. The county relief list, according to the clerk's office, shows a reduction over last year, and is now confined largely to the worthy poor, most of whom have lived In Jackson county for years, and to whom life has been unkind. There Is no objection to ex tending to this clsss all aid possible under the stress of the times, and the condition of the treasury. The reduction In the relief list Is attributed to many Upon it last year moving to other atntea, and a decrease in the number of transient Indigents drawn to this county by the magnet of a county commissary, and civic ex citement. The county registration of voters showa a 1680 decline In the past year and It Is expected that the next check-up of registrations will also show a decrease. The registration for the 1082 general election was 19,130 the highest in history of the county. It Is now 17.653. The normal regis tration for the county for past yesra was between 13,500 and 14,000. This shows a decrease In the transient population, who stopped for a few months In these parts. Civil works and other Job projects have also reduced the relief lists. Likewise the CCC. as the law provides. If one member of a family Is enlisted, no other member shall be on the re lief lists.
