Pointing out that burden of charity falls always
upon the worker, Abraham Epstein, secretary of
the American Association for Old Age Security in
an article in the May American Mercury, "Do the
Rich Give to Charity" says:
Men of great wealth are not interested in reliev-
ing the condition of unfortunates. in these panic
times in any other, he says. He cites proof
the fact that in New York, the most generous COM
munity in the country, only $1,000 or in seven
who file income tax returns contribute to the three
leading charities during prosperous times. "a re-

article, calculated that if he SHOULD give the

racketeers propose We are not going to pay any
way so we should worry"
And maybe these "reds" know their beans We
rather think they do.
In the Tuesday election the reds voted for the
big bond issue and the 10-cent tax right along
with the contractors and paper shavers and tho
hipp-o-ray boys, saying: "Sure thing, we will have
the roads when the revolution breaks. Let 'em
build 'em for US and have them ready Wen tend
to the bonds when the time comes a la Russia"
However, in Sheridan county the boosters didn't
put their stuff over. Here Is one county where
the people can't be fooled all the time, and where
the farmers don't get their political notions from
the bankers whatever may be the facts elsewhere
and Carl Bull and Frank French can't brag to
the highway commission that they delivered the
county-this may embarrass but it won't harm
Sheridan county any, for roads viii be built
when there is no place else to spend the money
whether we voted for against the highway COM
missioners racket. Three-fourths of the road
money is being spent in the western third of the
state and it is being spent there firstthe core, if
there is any, will come up here. The big boys
don't have to pay anything for the support of the
Sheridan county mainstreeters- always sneeze
when the bosses take snuff without compensation.

izen, it would amount to one-thousandth of cent
In the present emergency a large proportion of
the money raised has come from workers, either
directly, as a result of their close contact and
sympathy with their jobless fellows indirectly,
IN forced contributions through employment drives.
"The contributors to the New York Mayors
Committee for the relief of the unemployed are a
fair indication of the share of employee contrbu-
tons to other voluntary gifts, exclusive of the
few very large DONORS" says Epstein 'This
committee, which toward the end of January as
sisted with food and clothing nearly 100000 in
dividuals raised its fund of $4,000 as follows:
$4,000 from the voluntary contributions of
the city's civil employees; about $4,000 from
football games, and a total of s72,575 from 'pri-
vate sources
"In many cities the charitable agencies spend
far more upon relieving the distress of the work
of certain local corporations than these firms
contribute.
"a Detroit attorney recently testified before
U. S. Senate Committee that while $3.50 of
the city's expenditures on unemployment relief go
TO unemployed Ford employees, Ford pays no tax
es to the city. Edsel Ford's contribution to the
Detroit Community chest of $4,000 amounts to
about 1870 of what the city spends monthly un
employed Ford Company men,"
Epstein warns that private philanthropy and
organized charity proving miserably made
auate in the present crisis. With contributions
more and more difficult to raise, "the number of
applications to the Association for the Improve
ment of Conditions of the Poor increased by 289%
in the last quarter of 1880 over the same period
in 1929. The Family Home Department of the
New York Chldren's Aid Society had seven times
as many applicants in 1880 as in any previou:
year. AS against an expenditure of $4,000 OF
1000 families in October, 1880, the City of De
trOit spent two million dollars on $4,000 famiie
in January 1881.

parted, cheering Hoover and Go.
Pollard, the 100 convicts held in

the scene and begin actual work.

lumber on suspicion that it had
been handled by convicts in Russia
but Shirley and Pollard refused to
dignity these remarks with an an

crossed the bridge to Washington
to compete for work outside the
convict zone. To their amazement
they discovered that wage rates
for common labor on construction
jobs ranged as low as 20 cents an
hour. Cut-throat competition fol-

Employment of convicts on state

ALBANIA. 1t was abandoned in Mich
igan less than three months ago.
Virginian's convict road gangs
number 1000 men. When the As
ISOLATED General Contractors Of
America protested, last January, a.
gainst the proposal to employ this
unpaid labor on highway work in
sight of the White House, the re-
ply made by Henry G. Shirley,
state highway commissioner, was
that the prisons and the prison
farm were filled to capacity, and
the men on road gangs had to have
employment. Shirley said that
the non-convict unemployed could
get relief Jobs on another section
of state highway construction.

State records show that the Vir-

investment of $3.50, 900 in equip
ment for road building. With this
investment it constructed, in the
year ending June 80, 1880, high

PRISON LABOR
Arlington county citizens, feel
ing the pinch of unemployment,
protested against the sending of
convicts into their community.
They appealed to Shirley and to
Gov. Pollard, but in vain. Pollard
was out to make a showing in new
highway construction. He agreed
with Shirley that road work was
better and more humane for the
convicts than keeping them locked
up inside prisons. He agreed with
President Hoover that the free
citizen should be proud Of hi.

must not be any paternalism, M

NEW YORK, Sept. 18.-Foreign
news came prominently to the
foreground today and Influenced a
return of unsettlement in the mar
ket.
Anxiety abroad over the contin-
ued stability of the pound as ex-
pressed by the officials of the Bank
of England, and the possibility of
an early general election, contrib
uted to renewed weakness in Lon
don and nervousness here.
Nor was anxiety confined to Eng
land. Sharp declines in the con-
tinental markets and press COM
ment describing ncisgivings over the
general European financial situa-
ton were disturbing influences
Reflections of this was more ap-
parent in the abrupt declines in
German government bonds and the
heavy selling of British govern
ment issues. The market by reason
of the liberal short covering yes
terday had not the vigor to with
stand the renewed pressure.
Liquidation, much of it original
ing abroad, made its appearance
right at the outset. This was re-
flected in the weakness of such

ment stocks as Atchisan and Union
Pacific, as well as American Tele-
phone and Telegraph, all Of which

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19-George

wiser to President Hoover and the
man Mr.. Hoover is expected to
summon again for that service dur
ing the 1892 campaign, today head
ed a list of weekend guests who
are to accompany the President to
Camp Rapidan.
1t is believed Mr.. Hoover will dis
cuss with Akerson tie relation of
the press and the White House,
which recently has been the subject
of some agitation.
Akerson was Mr.. Hooyer's assist
ant in the 1928 campaign and went
to the White House as secretary. He
resigned in February to become a
moving picture executive. It is
understood, however, that it was
agreed Mr.. Hoover might recall him
for service in 1892.
Theodore JoSlin, former cor
respondent of the Boston Trans
cript, succeeded Akerson at the
White House.
Tension has arisen frequently
during the past few months be-
tween the White House and Wash
ington correspondents. At one time,
there was an investigation by the
secret service to discover the source
of news leaks from the White House.
More recently, Editor and Publish
er, a newspaper trade journal.
charged editorially that government
officials deliberately were mislead-
ing the press.
Within the past few days. admin
iStratfon authorities have made
known their displeaSure concerning
publication of stories regarding I'M
employment relief this winter and
the economic conferences Mr..
Hoover is holding on that subject.
The President is expected to mo-
tor to camp early today, remain
ing until Monday Or early Tuesday.
Among the guests invited are:
Henry P. Fletcher, retiring chair
man of the tariff commission;
Governor Leslie of Indiana; Sen
ator Walcott (Rep., Conn.,; James
P. Hornaday, Washington CORE
spondent of the indianapolis News;
and Captain John F. Lucy, Texas.
