Perfectly Done

The relief investigating committee of the state legsla-
ure has made its report and turns out to be of the
incest washing jobs that has been accomplished lately
OF course all the facts Of discrimination waste graft
and corruption could not be entirely overlooked by the gen
tlemen Of the committee. They too well known So
they admitted that in number of counties workers and
local administrators discriminating giving relief and
employment to people who 90 not need it all while others
on relief, equally competent, were not considered"
The committee admitted the piIng UP of uniustified
mileage the part OF workers. 1t had to admit ac
Of coordination and neffciency But the report did not

For all the bad features that discovered by the
investigating committee, plenty of found

stctOns of the federal administration that the thing
''tOp-heavy" and inefficient.
Farmers and workers have experienced that these "rues
and regulations have always been put to perfect by
local administrators and certain category workers.
who always baTrcaded themselves behind them with the
saying ts against the rules can't do thai" whenever
asked Tor information for redress of grievance
Of course there is considerable waste of money! saws
the committee bu it should be recalled however, that the
organization is new"
Yes, the organization did not have couple years
time to show what it do. Just give it chance and
don't squawk and everything will be all right the committee
means to tell yOu
Why not already take the responsible people to ac-
count for waste of money and for using the relief admins
traton for "patronizing friends ETC. is question the
committee most likely would not like to answer
And since the radicals in the state have made such
noise about discrimination announcement waste and Draft
that finally investigation became necessary they are
being surTed by the committee and even held responsible
for the admitted misery of conditions Numerons
who do not have the public welfare at heart are taking
advantage of these conditions to create greater
discomfort" the report states.
Sure, we knew that all along and we have been told
time and again that is the radicals the reds the agators
who responsible for the lousy relief condition. they
responsible for the 10 million unemployed, for the depres
sion and for everything else They are responsible for
STRIKES riots and what not And they could only be abo
shed, nobody would hear anything any more about wage
CUTS the misery Of the unemployed about graft discrmn
alton, waste and patronzng And if nobody hears any
thing about graft, there isn't any,
That the reasoning of the legislative committees that
are forced to make investigations and of many other peo
pie Of course radicals have he public welfare at
heart They are creating unrest and discomfort for
other but because they like it. Sure agators just
adore strikes they love bloody heads and they thrive behind
prison walls Just In order to get there they creating
unrest and discomfort"
But it may appear being somewhat strange that no
legislative committee does anything shove away from
der these agators the economic basis which they op
crate All those people who take graft to their hearts con-
tent who rob the public treasury by means of png UP
mileage who make effective of the patronizng" Sys-
tenn and who have the public welfare at heart do nothing
to eradicate and abolish unemployment to get rid of
poaon and oppression AS long that not done there
will always be radicals and agators who will work for the
welfare OF the broad of workers and tong farmers
Our legislative investigating committee has one sug-
geston to make which really shows integence he only
stable and certain solution of this unhappy problem is to
give these unemployed work and of steady and
assured income Unfortunately they have to add 'How
this condition may be brought about committee does
not undertake to say For if they would find the
and advocate the solution seriously they might become rad
icas and "agitators.
All in ALL the committee admits that the relief situa
ton pretty bad in Montana and that there
for further Investigation This investigation, they
mend should be handled by agents of the department
justice The committee asks that the house send an off
cal call to that effect to Washington.
Department of justice agents-we really had not the
slightest suspicion that it that bad But WELL one can
never tell once such thing is started.
