PROGRAM TOEND
RELIEF FORECAST
Hopkins Says Definite Plan
to Relieve Unemployment
to Replace Aid.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RALEIGH, N. c., June 13.-Harry
L. Hopkins, Federal emergency relief
administrator, declared in an inter-
view here yesterday that "the Presi-
dents permanent program to provide
a definite plan for relieving unem-
ployment should be passed by Con-
gress by the end of another year, re-
placing current methods"
The administrator said an insur-
ance fund to be provided by some CO.
operative arrangement Of the State,
employers and workers and a per-
manent program of public works were
two important points likely to be in
cluded in the program.
Would Drop Relief.
"The idea would be to wipe out re-
lief completely, making it unneces-
sary in the face of definite system"
Hopkins said. THE main objective
is to give the people feeling of as
surance that they did not possess be-
fore the depression or through the
lean years. 1t is unthinkable to treat
unemployment as a phenomenon that
should be met by forced idleness and
charitable gifts because there are no
jobs"
Hopkins said the present relief pro-
gram must undoubtedly be carried
through another Winter, necessitating
the expenditure Of large sums in ad-
dition to the billion and a half dol
lars already used for this purpose.
Advocates Taxes.
Immediate relief should be cared
for by taxation and not by the sale
of bonds, although I am not entirely
opposed to bond sales. The States
are going to be called upon to play q
definite part in this prospective pro-
gram. do not believe that we shall
ever go back TO the old plan Of re-
heving those without jobs, and / am
opposed to methods of direct relief.
AS to the manner Of taxes, I would
say that / would avoid the sales tax
and levies on property as much as
possible"
The permanent public works pro-
gram should be definitely correlated
with providing jobs, Hopkins said, and
he indicated that public buildings,
national forests, parks and worth
while community projects would hold
a high place in the plan.

-FOUR COUNTY
OFFICES To

In a short session held yesterday

consolidation of certain county Of
fices was effected. The offices
concerned are those Of the county
{ assessor, tax collector, sheriff and
coroner and from now on the first
two named will be considered as
one office the same being true of
the last two.
This action was taken in accord
ance with the powers granted the
supervisors and has been contem-
plated since last summer. At that
time it was expected that other
offices would be consolidated, name
ly those of the county clerk ana
county recorder but at meeting
held two weeks ago it was shown
the board that this latter move
would not result in any saving to
the county but in added expendi-
lures and was therefore dropped.
Following the adoption of this
ordinance the board adjourned un-
