We submit that there may be two points of view on that particular problem, but we are inclined to take a dim view of a person on welfare leaving, upon his or her death, an appreciable estate to the children. In questioning the constitutionality of the state welfare wel-fare department's lien law, two old-age recipients recently recent-ly proclaimed an idea which serves to clarify the entire welfare problem. Their petition to the Utah Supreme court, objecting to the statutory requirement that they give liens on their property before receiving aid from the state, recites that they, "and many other needy persons within the state similarly situated, are entitled to welfare assistance as a matter of right." Does such a right exist? If those who are 65 have such a right, why not those who are 64, or 50, or even 40 ? If the needy, "as a matter of right," are entitled to. $40 per month, why not $45, or $75? Does the right exist irrespective of a person's ability abil-ity to work? Does it exis$ irrespective of his savings or personal wealth? Does it exist irrespective of the taxpayers' tax-payers' ability to pay ? There are a dozen questions which arise when once we admit of a person's "right" to welfare. wel-fare. It f eems a little dangerous to accept the concept that the state is responsible for us regardless of how deserving deserv-ing we may or may not be.

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ANYTHING ! j w THIS 'H THAT By Ethyl N. Hair If a m-nnBTtv lien is necessarv I 1 1 - cn old-age recipients of welfare. why not a lien on all weuare recipients? Hi, Folks, I'll try again, since this is a request concerning the liens on old-age recipients' real estate or property. I have befort me the laws governing such a transaction. trans-action. I doubt if many of you have read it, and if you have you can see for yourselves the unjustness of such a law. To me it looks like dirty politics, aimed aim-ed at the aged who are mostly elderly convalescents. What most people can't or won't see is that it is nearing another election, this fall. As always, one party tries to stir up public sentiment by such tactics, no matter how nasty, or to whom. Therefore, I say: It's time to get welfare out of pol itics. Some 600 aged folks in Utah county depend on welfare for very life's substance They are supposed to receive $48.15 maximum per month for a lien on their home, their only security. Yet other younger, well off welfare recipientss who could be employed if they would work received payments that totaled: Oct. 1947, $249; Nov. 1947, $252; Jan 1948, $263; Feb, 1948, $299. So you can see what I mean this class of welfare wel-fare (public assistance) is growing. grow-ing. And nothing has been done about this condition, these lazy fleecing younger folks who could work if they would. And some of them have homes, bank accounts and bonds. I was of the opinion that the two cents on the dollar ta was for a just purpose, of caring for the sick, the poor and the needy we all get ill some time, and perhaps broke and needy. If I remember right . that was the reason for the sales tax. I won der if the general public has been misinformed. Now so much of the fund goes into this 'n that, so I'm informed by one of Utah's legislators. I remember when this administration admin-istration went in, and the Men tal Hospital controversy that branch of welfare should have been taken out of politics then Many saw the need, but like most of the good hard wording citizens they gave it too little tnougnt.

Provo Phone 011-R1 1593 South Sth :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;::::::::: in old age recipients real property would protect them or benefit them in any way, I'd be for it. I always said "every needy elderly person should have a pension, one that would not rob the state nor the recipient, of dignity." Young folks should be taught to work made to work. It is a law "They that won't work, cannot eat." The Mormons lived by that law when they came to Utah. I've heard my little great grandmother grandmoth-er quote it many times, when it was hot, and I hated to weed. Great truths, like great literature liter-ature live for all time. I'm aware of the chiselers, the fleecers, of which there are not many, who have nothing to gain or lose by the lien law, that is, personally. But I have nursed many elderly people, I have been able to see what reverses, re-verses, a long illness can do to the most progressive person. I am sure not more than one out of every 100 persons would choose to be on welfare there is always the one, that spoils the barrel! of good apples. The many people who have come into my home and begged me to do something about this unjust .situation . are absolutely the deserving, but none of them are welfarers. They are thinking, think-ing, hard-working tax payers. Yesterday was Mothers Day soon it will be Fathers Day.
