"No WOrk-No Eat"

When the city manager of Port
land, Maine, observed able-bodied
men sitting idly, while receiving 81
a day relief money, and with the
city needing work done, he took his
courage in both hands and demand
ed that the civic boarders should do
something in return for their doles-
At once a howl of protest arose
from the portland Relief Work
ers' Protective Association. From
the midwest echoed a growing
opinion that "it's time this country
is waking up'' to the fact that
.1oafers are Dragging they get more
out of relief than they would out Of
a couple days work week" In
other parts of the country, 1t was
reported, much graft and patronage
have been sheared from relief rolls.
Just the other day Brooklyn man
who had received s1,359 in relief
was arrested when authorities found
he had a fifty-acre farm and stable
of horses!
Two systems of eliminating relief
graft are in use. Methods of track
ing down offenders are being tried,
with some salutary effects. The al
tentative is to revive a realization
that the public purse is not bot
tomless ''horn of plenty" open to
all able to get hand in. Relief is
the benevolent hand of 100, ,000,-
900 neighbors giving lift. Recip-
tents of aid must learn that relief
is not a heritage to be exploited to
the last degree. If the act of get
ting off the relief roll is made a
deed of patriotism and self-respect,
there will be no 'Relief Workers
Protective Associations" to protest
when work is asked in return for
aid. Such protests are not to be
tolerated Christian Science Mon

Rroadcasting-Should Government

Control IL?
Should there be government con-
troll of radio broadcasting, as in
England. or should it be private
enterprise, as in the United States?
Both sides of this question are
presented in the current Rotarian
Magazine.
The income of the British
Broadcasting company, it is noted,
is derived mainly from license
revenue, every owner of receiving
set paying a fee of $3.50 per an
mum, while in America the income
of broadcasting stations is derived
from advertising.

quently heard over the British
Broadcasting Company network,
points out that the British listener
is very we'll satisfied. He sees the
wireless business as a personal and
intimate matter He listens to pro-
grams in his own home, and likes
to feel the thing belongs to him
and not to lot of firms whose ad-
vertisements already fill half the
