RIGHTS or NON-RESIDENTS.
ABLE SPEECHES MADE AT THE REGULAR
MONTHLY CONFERENCE IN THE
CHARITIES PIrJTD

The right OF non-residents 10 city privileges was
the subject discussed at the regular monthly con-
ference at the Charities Building yesterday. and
Speeches were made by Homer Folks. secretary Of
the State Charities Aid Association: DR.. William
II. Toman. general agent OF the Associa ton for
Improving the Condition OF the Poor: DR. Wines OF
Illinois. and Nathaniel Rosenau OF the Hebrew
Charities
Mr.. Folks spoke OF the question OF dealing with
Idle and improvident husba nds, and said that he
thought nothing could be done by legislation In
regard TO tho nonresidents he said that each COM
munity should support its own dependents. as It
was not right to take the money OF worthy citizens
and apply II to the support OF outsiders.
DR.. Tolman went right 10 the root Of the difficulty
and said I'VE ought not TO have non-resdents
and would not have them II people could only have
proper surroundings for their work and play"
He spoke Of technical education, which would
increase the earning capacity OF the members OF a
community and mako IL unnecessary for them to
seek work elsewhere. In these matters he thinks
very much behind some OF the European
ma tons
DR.. Wines who was at ono time secretary Of the
Board OF Public Charities OF Illinois, made
strong plea for that kind OF relief.
Its great advantage" he said rs that II Is
not charity. though 1t is called So for all public
relief Is granted In recognition Of right. Hence
the recipient feels obligation and IS pauper-
ized as he would be by private charity More
that is sometimes necessary IN these matters"
The speaker admitted. however. that there was
a place for private charity. and said that of
its advantages was that IT. agents apt be
more interested than public official In the work.
But he did not think. this account, that the
State should cooperate with private charities
State aid should be administered by stats agents
and where private charities were supported.
by the voluntary contributions OF loving hearts but
by money wrung from the taxpayers DIT the point
OF the bayonet. as 1t were they ceased to be chart
ties.
Mr.. Rosenau maintained that the State should
deal with the nonresident question and that there
was no sense or Reason In sending a man back o
Troy when there was work To be done there A
man should remain In the community which
services were most likely to be required. and the
State should try to distribute the moving popula-
ton with this I'm view. And this should be done
not In recognition OF natural rights for beneV-
client reasons. bur as mere matter Of self-nterest
for II is to the interest or 10 make
population good and big possible. Mr.
Rosenau does believe that much can be effected
by legislation. and says that. with the exception
Of some provision for the final sequestration OF the
unfit. the Less legislat ton we have the better.
