give sufficient relief, even under the
present crininally inadequate budget
for one week to the unemployed.
Only $4,000 was collected in
Brooklyn in the whole of this two
weeks campaign. Although the boss
class, with the help of Norman
Thomas, have succeeded in fooling
many workers, it seems that large
masses of workers refused to be
duped. This is result of the IN
employed Councils and Block Com
mittees exposure of this fake relief
agency. which was formed to spy on
militant workers in preparation for
the war.
These facts should not minimize
the danger, and a much more inten-
sified campaign must be initiated to
completely smash the fake Block
Aid scheme Of the bosses.
This week all the preparations for
a successful City Hall demonstration
must be intensified. Tens of thou
sands of workers must be modified
by the Unemployed Councils, Block
Committees, Trade Unions, Workers

peal is being made to the workers in
the American Federation of Labor to
participate in the mass delegation

ton against the closing down of relief
bureaus, demanding immediate cash

DIR. Summers points out
that there is a distinction and
a sharp one between federal
expenditures and those result

and other local taxing bodies.
In the past 10 years, federal
taxes have been lowered five
times, but in the same decade
the state and local taxes in
nearly every state h a v e
mounted sharply.
It is well to have the dis
tinction clearly in mind and to
be specific in referring to the
cost of government. Wash
ington for example, can lay
the entire blame for higher
taxes upon a rapidly growing
bill starting at Olympia and
ending with most local gov
ernments.

IN THEIR HOUR OF
GREATEST NEED

ITO BE out of work in these
days of depression places a
man in a very difficult situa-
ton, but to be both out OF
work and physically disabled
make the situation doubly
difficult. That is the very
situation in which thousands
of men, who, thirteen years
ago, were hailed as heroic de-
tenders of the country, find
themselves today.
These men, our disabled
World War Veterans, have
great difficulties even in nor
NAL times finding work which
their shattered bodies and re-
duced strength will permit
them to do. Today the posi-
ton of those not eligible for
government compensation or
who are receiving only a few
dollars a month from the
government is desperate.
They have only one hope and
that is from their former
comrades, the men of the Am
erican Legion
The American Legion, ably
aided by the women of the
American Legion Auxiliary,
is carrying out a vast and
continuous program of relief
and rehabilitation work for
the disabled and their fami-
lies. The public sees little of
this work and has little chance
to participate, but on Satur-
day, May %, every person in
Kennewick will have an op-
portunity to contribute to the
welfare of the men who sac
rificed health and strength in
the nations defense.
This opportunity will come
thru the memorial peoples
which are to be offered on the
streets Saturday by the wo-
men of the Auxiliary. The
peoples have been made by
the disabled men, themselves,
thousands having been given
employment in this work dur
ing the winter and spring. All
of the money raised thru the
sale of the flowers will go to
support the relief and reha-
Utilization program of the Lee
gion and Auxiliary. BY wear
ing one of these peoples we
all can pay honor to the war
dead and perform a real SER
vice in their hour of greatest
need for those men who serv-
ed their country at such ire
mendous cost to themselves in
its hour of greatest need.

Residents in town should

Talked for High Post
Many sinister surmises have been
MADE regarding the pressure brought
to bear for prompt passage of the
bill, which came from the roads
committee without recommends

favorable report. Senator John G.
Sherwood Rep), Mitchell, is chair
man of the roads committee.
There is talk of his being consid-
cred for a position on the public
service commission.
Under provisions of the bill, as it
came from the house, the public
service commission would be given
jurisdiction over all trucks and
buses operating as common carriers
and ton-mile tax of l mill would
be levied on them.
Efforts of the railroad lobby.
which consists of both ownership
and labor, in behalf of the bill,
were scored by Senator George w.

Pointing to Bert Byers, railroad
lobbyist whose activities have been
the source of much criticism this
session, Sims charged that cit has
