MAKE RELIEF GRAFT-FREE

Nothing does it detracC from the faith of citi-
zen in the fundamental principles of the New Deal
to agree with Senator Borah that much of the
money appropriated by the government for relief
is being poured into frog hole.
Politicians have provided the frog hole in many
state sand have been busily employed in the pour
ing.
Much evidence concerning such waste of relief
funds has out.
There are other forms of waste aside from the
padding of relief office payrolls, etc, by politi-
clans Many unworthy cases have been listed on
the relief rolls.
For the best interest of the nation and its citi-
zehs it is essential that this waste be eliminated
as quickly as possible.
There are too many deserving persons who need
help, too many taxpayers who are carrying bur-
dens of taxes, for the unworthy to be allowed to
continue the flingng away of public funds
Some of the waste in the past was inevitable
on account of the necessity of rushing into the
relief field Speedily. Now that the big rush is over
the government has time to make investigation
and establishments.
The politicians and relief grafters will set up n
mighty howl of protest, but we do not believe
President Roosevelt will let this howl turn him
from the purpose of p4rging the relief program

REPEAL APPEARS TO RETAIN THE
EVILS OF PROHIBITION
(BY BRUCE CATION

One would hardly have thought it pos
sible, but we seem to have performed the
difficult stunt of repeating the prohibition
law and retaining most of the features
that made us want to get rid of it.
Rodney butcher reports from Washing
ton that the bootlegger is still thriving
very much as he did in the old days, that
the drinker can never quite be sure that
he is getting what he asks for, that illicit
stills are running on big scale, that the
famous rum row. in the Atlantic has re-
vived and that Uncle Sam is losing huge
sums through evasion of liquor taxes.
These items, one by one, create pic
ture that is unpleasantly familiar. 1t is the
kind of picture we were looking at four
and five years ago, when people were
slowly coming to the belief that knocking
out the 18th amendment would set prac-
tically everything right.
In that blithe hopefulnesS, apparently,
lay our great error.
We get just about what we are willing
to work for in this world, and to date
there is little evidence that we are willing
to work very hard for a sane, courageous
and efficient method of handling the
liquor traffic.
We repeal prohibition to beat the boot
legger-and then keep the tax rate on
liquor so high that the bootlegger still has
tempting profit margin for his opera
tons. Simultaneously we reduce the Coast
Guard strength to save money, thus per-
uniting rum row to operate freely.
On the heels of that, we let Senator
Mcclellan raid the civil service enforce
hent agents in such way that green po-
itical employees are replacing experienced
men in wholesale lots and the morale of
the whole force is shot to blazes
The result of all this is that we retain
most of the drawbacks of prohibition,
without having done anything very effec-
tive to reduce the age-old evils of the IL
censed traffic.
1t would be hard to think of more eff
fective way of building up trouble for our
selves. Unless we speedily work out pro-
gram that will keep the liquor traffic with
IN legal bounds, we are apt to find our
selves in an utterly uncomfortable situation.
