Good proposes widows pension reform and tariff board
Representative Good outlines two measures for the sixty third Congress. A reform of the widows pension law grants $13 monthly for marriages dated by 1910 and $12 for later marriages with two years co habitation, plus a minimum provision pegged to the deceased husband’s pension if income and property are low. A new tariff commission would be independent of the president, report to Congress, and have broad powers to investigate costs, labor, and prices with hearings and subpoenas.
