"LET GEORGE DO IT"
DIR. Harding Protests Against the Inn
portation of Charity workers.

That Shawnee county is spending
Sc to give 81 to charity, was the
charge made against the Shawnee
county commissioners at the commits
sion meeting Friday by Dr. Eva Hard
ing. Following a heated wrangle over
the sins of commission and omission
of the county board, as Analysed oy
DR.. Harding, Fred Nipps, chairman or
the board, offered to set aside $500 a
month for the use of any society that
DIR. Harding could legally organize
DIR. Harding says the society will be
organized.
1.-The trouble with Topeka charities
is that they spend altogether too much
money investigating before acting,
Dr. Harding told the commissioners
The county and city are spending a
lot of money in bringing Socalled ex-
perts from other states when, If an in
Vestigator is really needed, there are
dozens of persons right in Topeka
VINO know more about actual condi-
tions among the poor in minute
than the most of these imported ex-
perts know in an hour.
THE county is hiring a board OF
commissioners and a poor commits
sioner. Why not let them do the work
instead of giving good county money
to a bunch of charities that are spend
ing more money on flapdoodle and
fads which they appear to think are
needed tc investigate than they are
giving to the needy poor"
DR.. Harding cites that practically
every investigator and active worker
in Topeka charitable institutions is
imported from other cities.
