MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1933.
OLD AGE PENSION
STAND EXPLAINED
I
Application Blanks Ready
December 20 Failure of
Legislature to Provide
Funds Precludes Payment
The county court today Issued a
statement explaining the poeltlon of
Jackson county In regard to the old
age pension law, scheduled to be
come effective January 1.
The statement points out that
"because of emergency expenditures
for this county the past year" no
more than f5000 can be levied un
der the 8 per cent limitation law.
Tax delinquencies and the "distress
ed financial condition of the county"
are' also cited.
It Is also explained that Vie legis
lature, neither at Ita regular session,
or the recent special session, provid
ed means for the pension fund. The
special session house passed a bill
to provide a fund but It wss killed
In the senate last Saturday night.
Senator Dunn of Ashland worked for
the passage of the bill.
Blanks Ready December 20
Pension application blanks will be
ready for distribution December 30.
The statement In full, as signed by
County Judge Earl B. Day and Com
missioners Ralph B. Billings and R.
X. Nealon, Is as follows:
"To the Public:
"We have promised many people
who are eligible for the old age pen
sion under the present law that an
nouncement would be made through
the press when the blanks would be
ready for distribution. This law.
which was forced through the last
session of the legislature by politi
cal pressure, has created a situation
that Is very serious Indeed. Alt of
the counties of the state are in a
very distressful financial condition.
due to the delinquencies in tax pay
ments, and most of them are abso
lutely unable to levy for this pur
pose on account of the 6 per cent
constitutional limitation.
"The legislative committee of the
Association of County Judges and
Commissioners asked the special ses
slon of the legislature to either defer
the date when the present law be
came effective or else pass an act
whloA would make It a state func
tion and provide funds for that pur
pose. Because of the fact that many
thousands of people In the state who
are over 70 years of age have been
led to believe that some pension
money would be provided by Janu
ary, 1934, we endorsed a bill which
would have provided funds for this
purpose and would have been col
lected by the state Industrial acci
dent commission.
The house of representatives ap
proved the measure and Senator
Dunn or this county aid everytmng
that he could possibly do to get the
matter properly adjusted, but the
senate voted It down. As the matter
now stands, the state legislature has
passed the old age pension act, but
so far has failed to provide any
funds for payment.
"This county will provide the ap
plication blanks as required by law
and they will be available by Decem
ber 30. Because of emergency ex
penditures for this oounty, we find
that we cannot levy more than S5000
because of the above mentioned con
stitutional 8 per cent limitation. In
order that the many worthy oltlrena
of this county who may be expect
ing aid from Oils source may know
the truth, we wish to state that
when this small fund Is pro rated
among all those wAo are eligible,
there will be a very small amount
for each party.'

FEDERAL AGENT
TELLS AIMS OF
RELIEF SET-UP
Carl r. Caulfleld of Portland, field
supsrvls or of the national re-employment
service, was In Medford to
day and cleared up many doubtful
points In the matter of local re-employment
under his Jurisdiction the
rules, regulations and purposes.
No one will be given work In this
service, he explained, unless (1) ha
Is a resident of Jackson county, (3)
he la a United States citizen, 3) he
is unemployed at the time of regis
tration. "We have found that some men
have given up steady Jobs because
they like the higher wages of this
federal setup," said Mr. Caulfleld.
"These men will be discharged. If
further investigation reveals any on
our rolls who were employed at the
time of registration they will be dis
charged. Only those without Jobs
will be employed by the government
In this service.
'The main purpose of the service
la to give the unemployed In each
locality work at a living wagethus
taking them off the local relief rolls
and also prevent the exodus of un
employed and the increase In the
transient floating labor class. We
don't want Idle men from other
parts of the country coming to Jack
son county. We don't want Jackson
county unemployed going elsewhere,
we want to keep theldle at home
and put them to work at home.
"Another thing: This federal serv
isnt essentially relief work any more.
We did take 60 per cent of our men
from the county relief . rolls, but we
will take no more, here or In any
other part of the state. The dead
line on that has been drawn. The
matter la now entirely under the fed
eral re-employment service. Although
naturally this does not exclude- ap
pllcants who have been on county re
lief rolls.
"Finally, everyone In our service
la expected to do a good Job. Just as
good as if ha were working for any
private contractor. The government
expects service, and those who are
either Incompetent or chronic loafers
will be discharged. The government
give good Jobs and good pay, and
the men who are employed must
render the service paid for."
Mr. Caulfleld, w,ho arrived yester
day to spend the day looking over
the local field, leaves tonight for
Klamath Palls.

The performance and economy of the
1933 Ford V-8 hive been the talk of
thousands of motorists. Owners said:
"Leave it alone, don't change it." Deal,

But we have improved it In every di

The Ford V-8 for 1934 is more power

because of the new Dual Carburetor
and Dual Intake Manifold. Even in
the coldest weather the V-8 engine
warms up quickly and maintains an
efficient operating temperature because
of new thermostats in the waterline.

most for yo-r money.
Ventilation. It's built-in simplicity
Itself. The same handle that raises the
window glass also slides it back horizon
tally to the ventilating position, and then
the forward motion of the car draws
the air out of the body. Drafts are
eliminated, passenger comfort is as
sured, and windshield will not fog in

cowl ventilator, provide the additional
air needed for hot-weather comfort.
O Greater Beauty New Radiator Shell

A car to be proud of, the Ford V-8 for
1934 has newly designed chromium,
plated radiator shell and grille, and
other distinctive features. Interiors
arc more attractive, with new tufted
upholstery, new mouldings, new cove
type headlining, new instrument panel,
new arm rests and new hardware. Swivel
type sun visors in De Luxe bodies
prevent glare from front or side.
Fenders on all De Luxe cars are in
color to harmonize with body colors.
New enamel finish on all bodies and
fenders has greater wearing quality and
more enduring luster.
A Transversa Springs Comfort with
" Stability and Safety
Ford transverse springs provide the ut
most stability and safety. Placed cross
wise, they tend to orevent the body
from tilting on uneven roads, and turns
can be taken safely at relatively high
speeds. Free and easy action of all four
wheels is permitted because the outer
flexible tips of the springs are attached
to the axles. Thus the most sensitive
parts of the springs receive road shocks
first and absorb them before they reach
the body. The advantages of the solid
axle are retained.
