i hat is more, you wVl kill their sense of independence, without which. energy, initiative, and even interest in life die. This erronious idea of enormous costs is asrain corrected in the reports of the old ag assistance boards of Pennsylvania. There, when the old age pension bill came before the Legislature in the spring of 1023. the cry was raised that such a law would fix on the more prosperous members of the commonwealth a tax burden of a year.

This the opponents of the law based on the assump tion that one-third of the persons over 70 years of age would qualify for assistance under the act. There is some paper evidence for this assertion. Some insurance companies, for business reasons, have industriously circulated such so-called "life statistics." But the actual taking of applications for pension under the act has pre- sented a different picture. Present Cost Enormous. Our table shows that we are spending $703,750.29 to maintain these fifty-eight poorhouses.

This sum leaves entirely out of account the enormous investment of more than $5,000,000 in these fifty-eight poor farms, 5 per cent, of which added to the cash outlay would bring the sum to more than $1,000,000. Tf you bear in mind that this $1,000,000 covers only three-fifths of our poor farms and that the folk past 65 make up three-fifths of the total almshouse population of the State, you will see that it is costing the State just abomt $1,00.000 to maintain the poorhouse old folk alone.

The report of the commission created by the 1123 Assembly to investigate the need of an old age pension in Indiana submitted its findings to Governor Jackson, who delivered the report to the Assembly yesterday. The report, which recommends the adoption of the pension system, from the standpoints of economy and social reform, follows in part: In the Legislature of 1923 a bill was intiortuced to provide moderate pensions for those old folk whose lives proved them worthy of something more honorable at the hands of the State than dreary years in a poor-house. At that time the sponsors of the bill, in view of the prevailing ignorance of conditions in the poor-house, were persuaded to accept a resolution directing the Governor to appoint a commission to make a survey of the poor farms of the State. By that means it was hoped to ascertain whether a more humane as well as more economical method of caring for these poorhouse inmates might be recommended. The commission oppointed by the Governor in obedience to that resolu tion has completed its investigation of poor farms in fifty-eight counties of the State.

In these fifty-eight: counties are included the industrial centers of Evansville in Vanderburg county, Fort Wayne in Allen county, South Ben in St. Joseph County and Indianapolis in Marion county. The list is, therefore, typical of both the rural and the industrial sections of Indiana, and the findings give an accurate picture of almshouse 'condi tions and almshouse costs throughout the State. The feeble-minded, the crippled, the diseased, the deformed and the insane are being transferred, by a kinder more scientific social republic, to special hospitals for their care. Industry is providing the new almshouse population in the men and women old folk to find better homes, and that the rest of the inmates, thf feeble-minded, the insane, the cripple the blind and the diseased could be cared for more efficiently in i few district hospitals at less expense.

The old pension is the be- ginning of a movement to close up the poorhouses these last relics of the middle aces and put the enormous iiivestnur.t to betb'-r Use.

6. A sudden and decided increase in receipts of hogs at the Indianapolis yards Friday was followed by a sudden and decided decline in prices with the result that most hogs are selling under $11. 13, 000 hogs arrived on the local market today. Most hogs sold at $10.85 to $10.90. nniCIIHSTERSFILLS MM IJI tution as that in Marion county, where conditions are revolting, to $44 per month in such an institution as that of Wayne county where the poor farm represents a public investment of $200,000.

The average monthly cost in the average institution that is well managed is approximately $35. The sum described as 'Yost" is not laid out entirely, however, on the comfort of the "beneficiary" of the State's charity. Approximately one-fourth of the outlay goes for salaries and wages of the superintendent and his assistants. No Consolation as "Home." The poor farm of St. Joseph coun ty, which is located four miles from South Eend, with its buildings, represents an investment of $250,000.

Our investigator reported that the institution was not to be found fault with as an institution, but that it hnd the faults of all institutions to a marked degree, and in no way whatsoever offered consolation to any soul as a "home." Every room, thousrh "scrubbed to the bone," as it were, was permeated with an atmosphere of depression. Every inmate is apologetic in manner, and timid at voicing themselves. Their rooms are cold. There are many eases among them of epileptics, pitifully deformed persons and of the feeble minded. In Daviess county, our Investigator reports that the poorhouse is an old two story brick building, looking the part, with rooms and corridors dirty and dark and evil-smelling.

The plaster is falling from the walls, the furniture is old and worn and the in mates are the picture of misery. The only bathing facility on the place is a dirty old tub in an outbuilding with no sewerage connections, extremely insanitary and unfit for bathing pur poses. The superintendent freely admitted the horrible conditions under which he labors and the old folk liv.e. but said he was doing the best he could with what he was allowed. He had to keep after the county commissioners for six months to provide new mattresses for the beds, the old ones being filthy and swarming with bedbugs.

This poorhouse is totally unfit for human habitation. Marion County Home Scored, In Marion county, a poorhouse was found that was a disgrace to the State. The superintendent informed us that a large part of the inmates were syphilitic. Many of these, he said, were suffering from kidney and bladder diseases and could not control excretions. Yet worthy old people are compelled to eat at the same table, share the same sitting room, use the same bathtub as do these foul-smelling, diseased persons.

The Stateboard of charities also lists as a disgrace to the State the poorhouses in Crawford, Daviess, Martin, Ripley, Switzerland, Tipton and Warrick counties. All these buildings are described in the 1923 report as "old, decaying, dilapidated firetraps, lacking in institutional requirements, the attention of the county officials, who have failed to act. The report concludes. "The public concienve needs to be aroused to the point where it will demand the removal of those blots from these communities." Poor buildings are to be found also, the of charities reports, in Harrison, Starke and Brown counties. With the exception of five poorhouses only, in the whole State, all these in- most of the inmiates are ailing in one way or another.

In 1923 500 of the 3.000 folfo who were in the State's poorhouses died. That is an appalling death rate. It is significant of the conditions of life in a poorhouse. It means that no old man or woman, who has the strength it means that life in the poorhouse is so depressing that once confined there, the old men and women rapid- ly pine away. Another significant fact is that of the 3,000, over 900 left the poorhouse during the year on some slight prom- iise or hope of independence.

Asks Maximum of $25. The hill which will be presented at this session as'ks a maximum pension for these worthy old folk or month. Its sponsors have made the assertion that the cost of this more modern, more humane method of dealing with the aged poor is no greater than we are now accustomed to spend without Question in maintaining them In the poorhouse. The maximum amount of monthly pension ascertained in numerous State investigations as necessary to maintain an aged person without any other income in reasonable independence, is $30. Actually, in practice, as we shall show by reference to Montana, where an old age pe- tern has now been in operation for more than one year, the average amount required Is much below this.

There are 54,000 men, as compared with 24.000 women, in our poorhouses.

Reports of our State board of charities for the last thirty-three years show that the average number of inmates in the Indiana poorhouses in 1923 is close to the average for the last three In other words, the poorhouse population in this State is numerically stationary. Why this is so soon appears. Our intensive investigations conducted in-fifty-eight counties show that of inmates in the fifty-eight Indiana poorhouses 1,431, or 60.6 per cent, are old folk of 65 years or more. The Indiana State board of charities finds that in the entire number of poor houses of the State the men and women past the age of 60 comprise 63 per cent of the total almshouse population.

It may be added, to the shame of Indiana, that the other 40 per cent, of the poorhouse population comprise still, as of old, the feeble-minded, the crippled, the deformed, the diseased, the insane, and the petty criminals. As classified by the State board of charities, the inmates of these ninety-two poor-houses in August. 1932, comprised 846 who were feeble-minded, 503 who were insane, 183 who were epileptic, iSiiiiiiiif Soft Hard PENCIL COMIXNY PHILADELPHIA i ih.
