TEN STATES HAVE OLD-AGE PENSIONS

Play Prominent Part in Relief of Suffering From Unemployment. j By United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—In ten of the forty-eight states in this country there are laws on the statute books providing old age pensions—a move, which is playing a prominent part in the relief of the suffering caused by employment. In most cases, the counties and the states share the expense of the pension. In a few states the law is optional with the counties. In Wisconsin eight counties have old-age pension. An estimated total for 1930 of $135,000—517.50 a month per pensioner—was paid out. Recipients must be more than 70, and a resident of the state for fifteen years. The state bears onethird of the cost. New States Try Plan Massachusetts’ law becomes effective July 1, 1931. Pensioners must be over 70 and have twenty years’ residence in the state. New York state’s law goes into effect Jan. 1, State and counties will share the cost equally. The estimated expenditure for the first year is $30,000,000. In Kentucky the law is dormant; the only county which adopted it abandoned the plan after a twoyear trial. Virtually the same situation ex-, ists in Maryland, where the legislature passed the bill but did not provide an appropraition, thus leaving the act inoperative. Recipients in Wyoming must be 65, but it is said that the law was virtually inoperative because payment is at the discretion of the county commissioners. The Colorado law permits city councils and county commissioners to create old age pension funds for payment up to $1 a day maximum. Administered by Counties Montana's old age pension is administered by the courts at the discretion of the individual county board. In 1929 the total disbursements were $154,450. In the last fiscal pear, Calfornia spent SBOO,OOO on its pensioners. Applicants must be at least 70, and a resident of the state for fifteen years. Pensioners in Minnesota must be
