Welfare Quota Plan Fails to Pass Senate
In Little Rock on February 25 the Arkansas Senate approved a bill to abolish the welfare department’s county quota system with one dissenting vote. Sen. W. H. Abington proposed placing all eligible welfare applicants on rolls immediately and paying them in the same proportion as pensioners. He argued the quota system, set by Welfare Director John G. Pipkin, limited cases despite the welfare commission’s opposition, and urged using a $2,000,000 surplus to fund age pensions for those eligible but unpaid.

The bureau seeks 325,000 immediately to expand Arkansas and Alaska clay surveys, plus 10,000 for six new drill rigs at 60,000 total to accelerate discovery.
