WHO GETS THIS MONEY?

Some figures on the cost and
achievements of certain major New
Deal adventures were given in The
Times last Sunday. Here are few
more, all taken from the reports of
the National Industrial Conference
Board, an unimpeachable authority.
The number of cases receiving
direct emergency relief from the
federal government in July, 1888,
was 3,9a6,874. In December, 1884, the
total was 5,261,516.
The governments monthly outlay
for emergency relief stood at $780,
155,874 in July, 1888. In December,
1884, the, expenditure totaled $179,-
500, 709. 1t is obvious, of course, that
the increase in the number of cases
requiring relief would call for a
corresponding increase of spending
But here's the very interesting
point that is not accounted for by
the greater number of cases on re-
lief. The average cost per case was
$3.50 in July, 1888. Within four
months it rose to 1883, and in De-
cember, 1884, it stool slightly above
$34.
Over the whole stretch of seven
teen months, then, the number of
cases on relief increased IS per cent,
while the cost of relief to the gov
eminent increased 1913 per cent, and
most impressive of all-the cost

! MER1ToR1oUs SUGGESTION

The advisory committee on gov
eminent organization and finance
of the state planning council recon-
mends the creation of a legislative
council to consist of the governor
and eight members of the legisla-
ture (which shall be a continuous
body for the purpose of gathering
material, preparing a legislative
program and drafting measures for
introduction in the legislature" It
also recommends that the council
have salaried executive secretary
to gather, assemble and analyze
data and information on subjects
before the council for consideration,
and that adequate fact finding re-
search facilities be provided.
The recommendation has great
merit and should receive earnest
consideration. Such a council could
greatly facilitate legislative pro-
cedure, do a great service in draft
ing new legislation and give intelh-
gent guidance to the legislative ses-
sions.
The recent session of the legis-
lature, which was composed of so
many members who were wholly in
experienced and had little or no
knowledge or understanding of the
great multitude of subjects that
came before them and many of
who voted according to prejudice
instead of information, was a dem
onstration of the need of an advis-
DRY council capable of preparing a
program and equipped with the facts
to make intelligent and effective
presentation Of its proposals.
Such a council could not, of
course, control legislative action or
dictate legislative policy, but it
could command confidence because
of it's information and it's studies
and would be in a position to pre-
vent much foolish and futile time
wasting and even harmful and des-
tructive law making -Kelsonian

Governor Martin also recommend
ed a probe of the VERA. One was
made, but not the kind he wanted
and he finally vetoed bill appro-
priating $4,000 for an interim in
vestigation, saying he would provide
funds for a proper audit by corsti-
tuted state officials.
Several of the "hits" listed above
were not clean singles. For instance,
he suggested increasing the state
patrol to $50 men. The legislature
allowed enough money to boost it
to about 100. He urged 100000 for
the health department, got $4,000;
suggested $39,000,00O in new taxes
and the legislature passed about
$3.50, 100000.

Statisticians have no other means
of calculation save to take the total
expenditure in the name Of relief
and divide it by the number of
cases. But every one knows that
the unemployed and needy are not
getting any more relief or any
better relief than when the govern
ment first assumed this great obli-
cation. Then where is all the rest
of the money going? To defray the
ever mountaing costs of relief adj
ministration? In other words, to

ment's political payrolls? Seattle

Using the-at that time-"im-
pending conflict" between Italy

a shakedown game with Italian
business men IN Harlem as the
victims. Armed with the facts in
the trouble between Italy and
Ethiopia, they would call upon an
Italian merchant and tell him that
if he did not pay them off they
would incense Negroes against
him to such an extent that he
would be driven out Of business.
Ice men were the chief vic
tins and before they were arrest
ed ten had paid off to keep from
being driven out of business and
his patronage turned over to a
Negro competitor. Police testify
ing at the trial Wednesday said
that In Bridges room was found
a note book with the proposed
victims listed and facts as to their
attitude toward Negroes and the
Ethiopian situation.

projects on which unskilled workers
are employed.
individuals who are given work
are given little or no security in
their positions. There is great suf-
fering among people who live in low
er economic levels who are not
eligible for the relief rolls. Wages
as paid by local industries are not
sufficient for clothes and food and
shelter. Thousands of school chill
dren are without school books. No
provision is being made for them.
Domestic servants and tenant farm

instances is being greatly exploited.
Those conditions may never be
