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.
