Offices are drawing nice salaries and
I absolutely know that some Of them
are not married and that several 9TH
er members Of the immediate family
are holding state or private jobs. Why
are these things allowed to continue?
Then, when activities are called to halt
for some changes, 1t Is not these who
sit In the offices that suffer. but the
ones that are out on the firing line
with the fabulous income Of twelve
dollars per week that get II In too

In recent issue Of . local paper
I noticed some article about one Of
the state relief committee going to
Washington by plane to Q conference.
Why pay such salaries to people who
can afford to do such things2 ! will
venture q wager that the CWA work
er dare not go out on the highway
and try to thumb . ride to the next
town for fear he might have to walk
considerable distance and thereby
wear out his shoes unnecessarily.
But these large and well paid jobs
are much sought after. When minis
ters Of the church will give up spread
ing the gospel, or the very necessary
work Of saving the souls Of the people
who have strayed from the paths OF
to accept these positions
because the salaries paid afford them
q higher standard Of living 1t Is good
proof. I do not believe that these
were the intentions of our Honorable
President Franklin .. Roosevelt when
CWA and Relief were created, but
then that Is the way Of the world.
Such things to my estimation. do not
help to better conditions or lift up the
morale Of the downtrodden. would
appreciate II someone would tell me
the reasons for such conditions.
Yours truly.

stock and sufficient security to se.
cure . loan Of at least 800 cannot be
considered - having exhausted al
their credit and must attempt to Sc
cure . loan to purchase their own
feed requirements, said Wilson. In
view Of the fact that loans cannot be
made through many loa11ing agencies,
arrangements have been made with
the Regional Agricultural Credit corr
poration Of Minneapolis to make .spe-
cial feed relief loans. These applica-
tons, which are marked Relief, are
made out In duplicate and forwarded
to H. w. Lundin at Bismarck, who Is
in charge Of the temporary offices Of
the corporation In North Dakota.
This special type Of loan can be COM
pleted within two or three weeks.
Requests for relief are scattered
throughout the state. Counties re-
curing relief most are Bottineau
Burke, part Of Williams and Divide Il,
the northern part Of the state and
Sargent, Richland, Grant. Hettinger
Sioux. Bowman, parts Of Mclean,
Renville and Mountral counties
Southern Richland Is about as badly
hit as any county In the state and
Bottineau has been In bad shape, &C.
cording to Wilson.
Some chiselers have been caught
disappearing their needs, he said
and will be prosecuted. As the Of
tense Is procuring government prop
erty by Misrepresentation, the penal
ty inflicted is likely to be. severe and
may result In prison sentences, he de.
clared. -

had lost . COW and q horse by starva.

eyes for emergency relief. The COM
mlttee gave him an authorization fol

er that he had $50 bushels Of wheat
on his farm, between 100 and S0(
bushels Of oats and barley. 10 tons Of
hay and 1000 bushels Of wheat in o.
elevator. Another man was discov-
cred selling the baled hay he had
received for feed relief. Those case.
are not many. however. and are
easily discovered, said Wilson. There
are many other cases. he said, where
people have been very reluctant ir
asking for relief and their stock hal
suffered badly In consequence. Thu
was especially true in Sargent ane
Richland counties. where farmers ex.
perienced the first complete croS

He said that, as many Of the earlier

Editors Note: .....
This Is the third Of 4 series Of
news stories on the operation Of
the federal emergency relief set
UP In North Dakota.

Take It tram e. A. Wilson, the Job
Of keeping people alive and well In
North Dakota this winter has had
It's parallel In that Of keeping live
stock In good shape.
Wilson ought to know for he u the
head Of stock feed distribution for
the federal emergency relief set-up
here and the last few months have
brought him . lot Of experience.
When he gets through he viii have
distributed to needy farmers Of this
state approximately . million bushels
Of wheat, 100000 bushels OF corn and
about 100000 bushels Of barley. oats
and miscellaneous grain, the total
value being about $l.ls0,ooo
Not all Of the grain has been dis
tributed yet but 1t Is going fast and
the Job should soon be over. When
it Is through, Wilson can take rest
and the farmers will be able to begin
the new growing season with their
stock in fair to good condition. Had
1t not been for the federal aid, Will
son said, thousands Of animals would
have starved In North Dakota this
winter.
In addition to the grain issued to
distressed farmers 10000 tons Of hay
has been bought and shipped, 5000
tons of 1t being baled hay and 1000
tons being purchased locally from
farmers having surplus. Besides the
hay and grain furnished farmers
Wilson has bought and distributed 81
car loads Of sugar beet pulp from the
sugar factory at East Grand Forks
and has ordered IS carloads from the
sugar factory at Chaska, MINI. The
value Of the hay distributed. tnclud-
ing freight and handling charges. Is
around 100000. according to Wilson
Final Estimate Approved
Final estimates for wheat. oats and
other grains to be distributed were
sent to Washington on Jan. 20 and
the allotment for North Dakota hal
been made by the government. The
total allocated to the state will be
| ,287 carloads Of wheat, or 100000
bushels.
About March l the emergency re-
lief committee will begin the distri-
button Of l,250,000 bushels Of oats for
horse feed during the spring work.
Farmers getting feed relief are re-
quired to sign an agreement to repay
the government, either in cash or la
Dor. II 1t Is paid by labor the coun-
ties are beneficiaries In that the work
must be performed for road improve
ment. Engineering work on the roads
is to be done under the supervision Of
the state highway department, which
will furnish the specifications and en-
cheering labor. The roads will have
to be approved by the state emer-
gency relief committee. Some coun-
ties will profit to the extent Of about
$100, 900 Wilson said.
