If you want to entice liberals down from their high

on and it is a pretty sight just before the dawn OF
some great decision to each little liberal sliding

patriotic Americans to watch their neighbors
And California has proved that certain StalWart

PUBLIC DEBT SHOWS
DECREASE IN STATE
1928 Figures Are Low
est Since 1924.

Public Indebtedness in Indiana is
at the lowest figure since 1924, &C
cording to a compilation of the
debts of all governmental units by
the state board of accounts. The
figures established by the accounts
board are for 1928. Current fig
ures will not be available for year,
but it is estimated the amount will
be even lower
The combined debt of all govern

or 40 per cent, according to the
report.
The per capita debt load in the
state is 1854, according to the

FEDERAL JUDGE REEVES in
Il Kansas City has just held that
PWA money can't be lent or
granted to states and towns be-
cause the federal government has
no jurisdiction over interstate
business.
The supreme and other courts
he7 shown an increasing tendency
not to be too fussy about this COM
MERGE clause, especially when an
effect of interstate on interstates
is shown.
The supreme court has often
held that intrastate commerce can
be controlled in order to regulate
interstate commerce when the two
are sufficiently intermingled to re-
quire it. You find it deciding that
the flow of commerce has little
connection with boundaries" and
that commerce is a unit and does
not regard state lines"
A lower court in Nebraska, rul-
ing in an NRA lumber code case,
went so far as to say that when
a lumber company used interstate
facilities to gets its lumber for re-
sale locally and advertised in
newspapers with interstate circu-
lation, it came clearly under the
regulatory power of congress.

gument: That they are designed to

Since congress is empowered to

But the commerce clause also
has been invoked against the New

scales, production limitation and
price fixing, as well as against
enforcement Of collective bargain

The President announced his
CWA program Nov. last year.
This year he equally has broad
emergency powers, and if he should
postpone action until consulting
congress, more than half the winter
would be gone.
According to all the hints that
have been dropped, this years pro-
gram will concentrate on constru-
ton of permanent, socially useful
projects. CWA work was makeshift
and some of it was criticised as a
waste of time and money. In the
last year FERA, under admins
traitor Harry Hopkins, has surveyed
the country and listed useful prof.
ectS that can be undertaken at once
in every community. He believes he
could get 100000 men to work

Government lawyers cry "emer-
gency" louder in some cases than
in others, but in all court argu-
ments now being made that line
of defense is Subordinated. For
their contention is that congress
would have had a right to pass
the New Deal measures even had
there been no emergency.
The emergency argument is
stressed just in case the courts
find themselves unable to rule far
vorably on any other grounds.
Sometimes this works and some
times it doesn't.
TINE supreme court, however,
Il has upheld the emergency
state laws which have come before
it-notably in the Minnesota
moratorium and New York milk
cases, of which more later.
Chief Justice Hughes says an
emergency doesn't create powers,
but may furnish occasion for
exercise of special powers.

enty years ago was asserting that
emergency creates the very

camps, where 3O7 900 young men are
at work, will be continued. APP
proXimately $4,000 persons are en-
ployed on public works projects.
Government plans for financing
the program and its wage and hour
policies for the workers it will en-
ploy are waited with equal interest.
When CWA was launched, a thir-
ty-hour week for manual laborers
and a thirty nine hour week for
white collar workers were estab-
lished. Unskilled wage rates ranged
from 40 to so cents, skilled wages
from 81 to $1.20 an hour. The av-
erage weekly wage was $14.72. In
dustry complained bitterly because
many workers received more than
the minimum fixed in NRA codes.
Later CWA wages were cut by re-
ducing the maximum work week
from thirty to twenty-four hours.
Under emergency work relief, av-
erage earnings are S1026 a week
and many workers are employed
only part Of each month.
The new Roosevelt program con-
templates spending between five and
seven billion dollars, according to
present indications. There have
been hints that this money may be
obtained by selling small bonds
direct to the public.
So far S3,6O6. 500 actually has
been spent on public works and re-
lief projects Of all kinds. This is
less than the total appropriated.
THIS is the way the money has
i gone:
Civil Works Administration cost
S813, 730, 800, and the Civilian Con-
sevation Corps, SAB, 836,781 to date.
FERA has spent S1,154, 1867 asa for
direct relief and various work pro-
jects. It's alter ego, federal surplus
relief corporation, has spent S57,026,-
500 buying food to distribute to the
needy. Drought relief has cost SAL
032,141.
Pubic works administration has
spent S1,066, 466, 694. On emergency
housing S1,528,193 has been spent; on
subsistence homesteads, s3,243, $40.
The federal housing administration
has spent s9,911.759.
A million acres of submarginal
land has been purchased from
families unable to make living on
it. -Four or five times as much more
Will be bought.
Out of FERA's funds, S26,860 900
has been spent caring for transients.
Projects having to do with ed
ucation have received SCI, 450, 900.
The winters employment program,
taken in connection with the pro-
gram for social insurance, probably
will look toward bringing the work
Of the relief administration TO a
definite end. It's life expires May
r. A temporary extension may
have to be arranged if marked re-
covery in private industry has not
occurred by then, but President
Roosevelt has declared, with in
creasing emphasis, his determination
to eliminate unemployment and the
need for a permanent dole Of any
sort.
