NEEDY OFTEN
WORSE OFF BY
GETTING JOB
AssaiI Policy of Forcing
Exhausting of Credit
Before Aid Is Given.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE
problem of uhat TO do about debts,
already engaging the attention of
most of the committees of congress,
has intruded itself into the discus
sion CT federal relief before the SEN
ate manufactures committee
The prevailing policy of requiring
needy families to exhaust their
credit with the landlord and gro
Ger before they are given aid by
public and private agencies was as
sailed.
This policy has brought about a
condition IN which families are bet
ter off staying permanently on re-
lief than attempting to go to work
again, the committee has been told
by Miss Margaret Rich of the
Family Welfare Association of
America.
Miss Rich told of a man with
wife and several children, who sue
cceded in obtaining a S15-a-week
job after some time of relief.
Tells of Humiliation
At the end of his third day at
work he came to the welfare agency
and asked desperately what he was
to do, since word had gotten around
that he had job, and the gro
Ger and landlord were both demand
ing payment of long overdue bills
He could receive no relief while
working, and he could not live on
what was left him after making the
payments demanded.
Miss Rich read the committee
answers from questionnaires filled in
by unemployed men in which one
after the other described the bitter
humiliation of having to ask for re-
lief, after many self-supporting
years.
One man wrote that he was con-
WINGED it took more nerve to ask re-
lief than to steal. He considered
stealing, but decided the disgrace to
! his family might be greater if he
was caught.
Study German Methods
Miss Rich made a study of relief
methods in Cologne, Germany, few
months ago, and told the commit
tee she found a different attitude
there on the part of relief agencies,
and those receiving help. The
agencies there are giving each
family cash with which to buy for
its own needs instead OF a
monotonous food dole, because the
government considers these people
are the backbone of our country,
and we can't afford to let them
deteriorate."
But in this country Miss Rich is
finding an increasing feeling of re-
bellion in all large communities,
mot anarchy, but a sense of dis
content" born of uncertainty as to
how long relief can continue,
inadequacy of relief, and the fact
that families are deprived of the
right to plan and spend for them
selves.

The Story Of Shinn's Big
One That Didn't Get Away

The annual sport land business
catching white fish from the Columbia
river Is reaching the peak this week.
For several weeks local anglers have
been engaged in this sport, but not UNI
til this week were their efforts rewarded
with any great success. Limit catches
are now quite common, however, and
the river banks in this locality are be-
coming crowded with fishermen
The first angler of the season to
have a real fish story to tell Is j. M.
Shinn. Mr.. Shinn says that while fish
ing early one morning this week, he
hooked a large whitefish. Just as he
brought 1t into the bank and was about
to take 1t off the hook, the fish got
loose and Immediately flopped into the
water. Mr.. Shinn made several at
tempts to reach the fish, but each time
he was just one jump behind Suddenly
however, much to the surprise of both
Mr. Shinn and the fish, it made one
more leap, which instead Of landing
him safely in deeper water, landed him
squarely on the bank again. So the
Shinn family had fish for breakfast
after all.

No Salary Cuts
Or Reductions
In County Staff
LOWER VALUATIONS MAY RE-
suit IN HIGHER MILEAGE
IN THIS COUNTY

Benton county employees must go on
vacations without pay in 1884, the COM
missioners ruled when they passed the
budget calling for expenditures of 500
226.26. There will be no cuts in SAL
aries and no reductions in staffs, off,
Gals said.
The tax for current expenses will
be within the 10-mill limit required by
law, but the millage may be slightly
higher than last year, due to the de-
crease in valuations. The current ex
pense millage last year was 7.67 mills
and the total millage was 1882. The
current expense budget is $l865.70 I'M
der the 1888 allowance.
The road district budgets are higher
than for the current year, but the
commissioners said they plan to use
the money in those departments for
relief work The road levies for 1888
were 3 mills each in districts Nos.
and and mills in district No. 2.
The totals for 1884 and 1888 are: No.
l, $10629.23 and $8088; No. 2, $1,000
and $47l2; and No. 3, $$9500 and So
47998
Cuts were made in almost all de-
partments, but the increases in the
election and relief budgets kept the
total from being far under the 1888
amount The election budget for next
year is $4,550, while this year only $50
was appropriated in that department.
The INDECENT relief budget was raised
$1,000, bringing it to $4,000.
The department estimates for 1884
compared with 1888 allowances, are:
Agriculture, So OBS and $4O45; advance

Loan Is Offered
On Stored Apples

Federal agencies have agreed to loan
50 cents per box on cold storage jon
athan apples and cents per box ad-
ditional for the first months storage,
to growers Of the Pacific Northwest,
says the Pacific Coast Packer. A spe-
cial committee from the Northwest
Fruit Industries, Inc, visited Spokane
last week and conferred with officials
of the Regional Agricultural Credit
Corporation and the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, which granted
the request for the loans.
These loans are expected to have
stabilizing effect on the Jonathan mar
ket as growers will be enabled to store
the fruit and prevent distress selling"
The loans apply solely to free fruit
not previously mortgaged.
Loans may be obtained from the Re-
gional Agricultural Credit Corporation,
and arrangements have been made
whereby the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation will make loans through
local credit corporations.
Application for loans must be &C
companied by negotiable warehouse re-
ceipts, note to the RACE, mani
fest showing grade and sizes, a federal
state certificate as to grade and pack,
residue analysis, and a certificate from
the county auditor showing evidence
of no liens against the fruit. They must
also include a blanket authority to the
RACE to dispose of the fruit, a
waiver from cold storage companies
subordinating all storage charges in ex-
cess OF cents and evidence of insur-
ance covering the fruit in question
When the sale of the fruit is consum-
mated, all proceeds over 60 cents per
box will be RENTED to the borrower
"Due to the confusion and uncertain
ty arising from the preparation OF a
marketing agreement with the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, the early sale OF
the fruit has been very Slow said M
