INDIANA WELFARE
RELIEF DECREASES
Natural Upturn of Business
Held Responsible for Is
Per Cent Decline.
BY HAROLD C. FEIGHTNER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 8.-One
OF the best indications that the new
deal has visited Indiana is to be found
in the records Of the State Welfare
Department, which show a decline Of
IS per cent in the poor relief rolls
throughout the State,
The peak Of distress. according to
William H. Book, welfare director, was
reached at the end of March, when ap-
proximately 100000 families were re-
ceiving relief through regularly organ
lied channels. In April and May q
reduction of is per cent was noted and
Book expects an additional decline Of
between and 10 per cent when the
June reports come in.
Most of this shift from the red to
the black side of the ledger was caused
by the natural upturn in business, as
little of the Federal rehabilitation
moves had been initiated in April and
May Federal plans to Danish unem-
ployment will find an echo in the June
reports, however, a noteworthy factor
being the Civilian Conservation Corps
program.

NEW JERSEY FAILS
TO COLLECT TAXES
Despite Employment Gains
State Is Seen to Be in
Critical Financial Crisis.
BY EDWARD M. GILROY.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
TRENTON. N. j., July 8.-Despite
steadily gaining employment and pay
roll figures, New Jersey is in a criti-
cal financial position through inabil-
ity of local governments to collect taxes
The Joint Taxation Committee OF
the Legislature declares taxes cannot
be collected because the taxing system
is antiquated. It advocates a change
from the present system Of taxing real
estate to levy that will spread the
people can pay.
Real Estate Levies High.
Real estate now bears IS per cent OF
the entire tax burden, disproportion-
ate amount that Is reflected in in
creasingly numerous tax defaults, in
ability of municipalities to meet their
obligations and of forced tax sales. The
committee predicts that unless major
revision Of the State taxing system is
put into operation that wholesale mu-
nicipal bankruptcies will follow and
local governments will be unable to
provide the bare services necessary to
community life.
The latest city to near the end of its
financial rope is Jersey City, close across
LIle f1uQSOl flfcI lIOu NeW 1OIk. JeI =
sey City finally has ordered its first
tax sale since 1928, with more than
5000 pieces of property at public auc-
ton for defaults of taxes. And its mu-
nicipal employees face certain salary re-
ductions ranging from 40 to so per
cent.
Aside from difficulties of municipal
governments, there is slow but certain
drift toward higher economic levels
throughout the State. Official census
figures from the State Department of
Labor for May showed a pronounced
higher trend, and unofficial estimates
reveal it is continued at steadily in
creasing rate for June.

Bav State Session
To Face Problem
OF Liquor Control
Only Five in 100 Years
Have Lasted Longer
Than Present One.
BY w. E. MULLINS.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, July 8.-In the last 100
years only five sessions of the Massa-
chusetts Legislature have lasted longer
than the current session. Hope of a
speedy propagation was blasted the 9TH
er day when Gov. Ely demanded the
enactment of a new code of liquor con-
troll laws before he will permit the legis-
latorS to return to their homes for the
year.
The Governor believes the Federal
prohibition amendment may be repealed
before the Legislature again convenes
next January. AS a measure of pre-
paredness for the regulation of the sale
and distribution of hard liquor he wants
to have adequate statutes ready to en-
force the day repeal becomes operative.
The Legislature now has before 1t Tor
consideration an exhaustive report on
methods for handling hard liquor which
was prepared by commission OF dis
tinguished citizens who studied the
various control measures employed In
foreign countries for a period Of three
months beginning early in January:
Recommendations for the imposition
OF a retail sales tax, head tax and in
creases in the State income tax as q
means of providing relief for cities and
eNNS
verge of bankruptcy by mounting pub
lie welfare expenditures are likely to
be ignored in view of the various Fed
eral relief measures now in operation
and a reasonable assurance that the
fuii force of the depression has been
spent so far as this State is concerned. !.
The textile mills in the cities OF Fail
River, New Bedford and Lawrence. all
three of which were badly affected by
the business and industrial recession,
once more have begun to hum with &C
tivity and new hope has sprung up with
marked increases in employment.
The most optimistic reports OF buSi-
ness recovery come from the city OF
Lawrence, the worsted cloth manufac-
turing center of the United States,
where the mills are operating night and
day, employing 22,e0O workers with a
doubling Of pay rolls within one months

PROVIDENCE, r. T., July 8.-Rhode
Island is in the vanguard Of States
adopting legislation to allow political

DELAWARE CHARITY
DEMANDS DROPPING
Five Per Cent Decline in Two
Months Indicates Shaking
OFF of Depression.
BY C. e. GRAY.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

!
WILMINGTON, Del, July s.-De-
pendents upon public relief agencies in
Delaware have decreased per cent in
the last two months. This, coupled with
several instances Of wage increases in
business, has given rise to the first wide
spread belief in months that the State
is shaking of the dead weight Of the
depression.
At present there are 6,662 families,
representing 27,289 individuals, on the
direct relief rolls in Delaware. This
represents q drop Of 338 families in two
months In New Castle County relief
agencies are caring for II per cent Of
its approximately 100000 citizens, q
decrease from 20 per cent.
Pay increases of S per cent to $3.50
employees of the E. I. du Pont de Ne
mors & Co. and raises ranging up to
10 per cent In several lesser industries
in this area during the last few weeks
have already been felt by local business.
Merchants report sales have gained ap-
proximately Is per cent in volume and
assert that q new confidence in the fu-
ture has become evident among con-
sumerS.
Another factor in the stif1ening Of
morale is the prospect Of sizeable
share for Delaware in the So 300, ,000, 900

, has required the employment Of addi-
tional help.
One important manufacturer Of radio
receiving sets asserts that sales for June
doubled those for any month in 1882.
That fact is the most striking, since the
peak of the radio business usually comes
in the Fall or Winter months. June
shipments were more than six times
those of June, 1882, and more than IS
times those Of June, 1881. While radio
may consider itself among the necessi-
ties Of modern life, it Is dispensable
necessity and not the SORT of thing in
which persons invest when they are
worried about the rent. The output Of
steel in local mills has gone over the SO
per cent capacity mark, and two furni-
ture shows held last week registered the
biggest attendance Of retail buyers noted
in two years. Sales were twice those Of
any show held since predepression days.
Construction Still Lays.
Construction work still lags. Many
members of the unemployed will find
jobs, however, when the Chicago Sani-
tary District completes its arrangements
for a Federal loan and IS able to renew
operations in the building of sewage-re-
duction plants and other Improvements
essential to its vast undertaking.
The State administration, after price
deadlock with cement manufacturers,
recently completed deal which will en-
able it to resume road building on an
extensive scale. More jobs will result
from that activity.
Enactment of law providing for the
crganization Of limited dividend corpora
tions to rehabilitate housing in blighted
areas and to erect new low rental
houses Is expected to afford stimulus to
the building trades. In the meantime, a
number Of rundown neighborhoods are
organizing under the leadership OF the
Chicago Real Estate Board for Cooper
ative effort in rehabilitation Of both
residential and commercial property.

ECONOMIC GAINS

Public Works in State Will

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 6.-Plans
for public works in Missouri are due to
materially add to conditions In both
the metropolitan areas and in the agri-
cultural sections, where economic bet
termept is gradually being noted.
Oficials Of the State Highway De-
partment recently announced that close
to 10000 additional men can be given
work under the recent allotment OF
S12,000,0 900 to the State for road con-
struction purposes from the Federal
Government. The plan is to have most
of that work under contract by Sep
tember. Construction Of farm-to-mar-
ket roads will command quite a part Of
this fund. which will throw much Of
that work into the rural districts Of
the State furnishing employment to
many where 1t Is badly needed.
Completed Program.
Missouri has completed and sub
mitted its preliminary program for
sharing in the Governments public
works plans. through which 1t has
asked $458, 900 900. While 1t Is real
lied that the chances are slim for
receiving such q substantial amount, q
part of 1t will 60 far in the plans
mapped out, which are designed to
cover proposed projects In virtually
every section.
AS an additional aid, Kansas City
shortly will have under way the con-
struction of q court house, to cost close
to $4,000, 900, for which bonds have al
ready been sold.
Steadily improved conditions in the
grain market, together with recent
rains, which broke a drought Of q
months duration. are rejecting much
brighter outlook In the agricultural belt
of the State, although additional moist
ure would be most acceptable.

~ HICAGO, July 8.-Something
resembling the first crested
wave Of returning prosperity
~ is rolling over Chicago and
Illinois. It Is more dra-
matically evident in Chicago,
probably, than in other urban centers
of the State, although the report Of i'm
proving business is general. But in the
metropolis an increasing multitude OF
visitors from every quarter Of the
country throngs the hotels, crowds the
pavements and congests the thorough
fares.
Chicago accepts 1t as evidence that
the Nation is in more hopeful humor
for, it is argued, If people were in the
mood of encouragement that was prev
alent six months ago they would not
be hocking in such numbers to the
Century of Progress Exposition. More
over they are spending money in the
city's stores no less than at the fair
and the residents Of the city are buying
as they have not bought in the last
two or three years.
Relief List Shrinking.
The relief list for victims Of uneni-
ployment is shrinking in length for the
first time since the beginning of the
depression. The shrinkage is not great
but it Is distinctly noticeable and has
been steady for two months. That
means jobs are slowly becoming avail
able again. The Household Finance
Corporation, one Of the biggest personal
loan agencies in Chicago, confirms that
fact by reporting that loans are being
repaid In larger volume and more
promptly and that customers report
they are finding employment or that
business Is 50 improving with them vs.
to make 1t easier to meet their obi
cations.
Another evidence Of greater business
activity is apparent in the very sub
stantial growth In the number Of mes
sages handled daily by the two telegraph
companies. In the last two months the
increase has carried them far beyond
comparable figures for last year and

Coincident with the increase in the

Building Of bridges, with Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation advances, in
Richmond and other cities Is giving
employment to a large number Of per-
sons who would otherwise be dependent
on charity and is helping to clear up
the business situation.
Corporations which failed to secure
funds from the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation are now making efforts to
secure money from the public works
and industrial recovery money provided
under the Roosevelt bill. Notable among
these are the Independence Bridge Cor
poratioa and the Yorktown Bridge Cor
poration, both of which desire to

Point. Permits had been granted by
the State Corporation Commission to
these corporations, provided they raised
necessary funds by certain dates. Being
unsuccessful in their applications to the

these concerns had to allow their per-
mits to lapse. They have again applied
to the State Commission for permits
for construction and have been assured
that the permits will be granted If they

Convint ed of Upturn.
Continued recall of furloughed en-
ployes and announcements CT wage in
creaSes, especially in textile industries,
indicates employers are convinced the
upturn is lasting.
With public works in the offing to
spur the return to work, 1t appears
probable that by the end of the Sum-
mer the number of jobless receiving
public aid in Pennsylvania will be below
the million mark for the first time since
1881.
Flans for public works are awaiting
impetus from Washington, under the
new recovery program. Expenditures of
other depression years. and debt limits
imposed by the State Constitution, pre-
vent the State and most municipalities
from engaging in many SiZable public
projects without Federal aid.
State officials have sent to Washing
ton for approval proposals for $4,000. 900
in construction, the largest single prof.
ect being new Office building in the
Capitol group here. Applications for
aid for municipal improvements have
awaited appointment of Federal ad-
ministrator for Pennsylvania and an
nouncement of Federal policies, espe-
cially regarding interest rates.
Such plans include dredging the Sus
Quehanna River between Pittston and
Nanticoke to provide flood control for
Wilkes-Barre. and smaller undertakings,
such as water supply impounding dams
and street surfacing.
The most immediate effect from pub
lie expenditures on work-producing
tasks is expected from road construc-
ton. Last year the State employed more
than 5000 pick and shovel men in
building thin macadam surfaces on
several thousand miles of rural roads.
With s18,900,00G Federal road money
to supplement reduced State highway
funds. new high mark is expected to
be set in road crew workers.
Industry Prepares.
Cement. steel, brick and lumber in
dustries, already aided bv industrial i'm
provement, anticipate the largest spurts
from the public works program Rail-
roads, now enjoying increased passenger
and freight traffic, are preparing for
upturns in car loadings when construc-
tion materials start to move. Thou
sands of railroad shop men have been
recalled to repair rolling stock more
rapidly than schedules had contem-
plated in Spring.
The first marked improvement in pro-
duction and employment came with the
re-entrance of legal beer. That con-
troversial beverage brought new business
to cork and insulation companies, steel
mills making vats and cylinders, glass
works, railroads and truck manufactur-
ing plants.
Since then there has been a steady
forward movement in other industries.
Some are believed due to orders in an
ticipation of rising prices. The most
general gains have been reported by
textiles mills, of which there are hun
dreds in Pennsylvania. The greatest
strides have been in the silk and cotton
mills, which have added many new
workers, some plants also increasing

A sharp increase was noted in the first
