Sees No Tax Gain. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, June 12.—-A resolu- tion advocating the enactment of a State pension law to provide a dcle for men and women over 60 years old was unanimously adopted at the Maryland convention of the Fraternal Order of Eagles here this week. The bill, as favored by the conven- tion delegates, would have the State pay out of its treasury $20 a month to each man and woman over 60 However, no one family e two pensfons. In the case of a man anc his wife the pension would Lo paid to the hus- band and at his death would o to his widow. - Any one receivinz a pension from another source could not get cne from the e, and any parent receiving aid from his childven would have a sum equal to the aid recelved deducted from his pemsion. The advantages of an old age pen. slon, It was pointed out, are that it would enable 2 man and his wife to remain together in their old age and would also remove the undesirable conditions that are said to exist now {n_some county almshouses. Passage of the law would not cause an increase in the tax rate the Eagles believe, because payment of an old age dole would decrease the number of almshouse inmates and thus decrease the cost of maintaining such institutions. The money saved from reducing the cost of almshouse upkeep would more than care for the pension fund, the Eagles contend, and $1 a day would enable an old couple to continue to- gether in a home of their own. The Eagles have sponsored a pen- sion law in six other Sttaes where it has already been passed. MOLNAR WEDS AGAIN. Hungarian Playwright Married to Lili Darvas, an Actress.
