INCREASED cost to private
L charity and the Community
Fund relief agencies in caring for
the transient is revealed in the
records for October, November
and December when 4011 indi-
viduals received meals and lodg-
ings from Salvation Army, Theo-
dora Home of the Volunteers of
America, and the Wheeler Res
cue Mission.
The three month period preced-
ing, from June to August, showed
that with the transient under the
wing of Uncle Sam that 2151 CHI
ents were aided or 1860 less than
in the closing months of 1885.
Care of transient families by
the Family Welfare Society and
Catholic Community Center
jumped from no families cared
for in June, July and August to
70 families in the final three
months of the year.
Under a new plan being worked
out all financial responsibility for
care of transient families is to be
lodged in the township trustee
while Community Fund relief
agencies are to continue paying
for the single wayfarer who comes
to indianapolis.
The average cost of $1480 need
ed to care for transient families
during their stay in the city is
high because it includes railroad
fare to transport them to their
homes.
NOMMUNITY FUND agencies
~ feel that transporting fam
lilies to their legal residences is
good economy.
Believing in a relief preventa-
tive as the best cure to keep local
men and women from grocery
orders or township care the well
fare agencies help families to aid
themselves through incidental care

ing.
Many are border-line cases.
Families almost down and out
who seek advice and with temp
orary aid manage to make their
own way without resorting to poor
relief" explains one welfare agency
executive.
Nor is the fact that man has
job considered releasing him as
a case on the books of welfare
agencies. Every supplemental aid,
encouragement in the way of extra
clothing and supplies, acting as a
breakwater to prevent long-stand-
ing creditors from drowning him
in hopelessness. are parts played
by Community Fund relief agencies
in staving off the return of the
man and his family to the relief
rolls.

From this some infer that eventually the court will
find IVA constitutional whole. Others infer
that the court may kick out part of it, You guess
what the Supreme Court will do at your own peril
0PPONENTS of IVA sought to the Wilson
~ Dam contract as a vehicle for determining
whether the IVA Act constitutional. The gov
eminent, believing it had better chance of getting
half loaf, sought to narrow the case to the one
contract rather than risk nvaldation of the whole
enterprise The Supreme Court confined itself to
that narrower question.
In other words the court upholds one detailed
action of IVA But it postponeS decision as to the
validity of the act itself Some may think that the
court ducked the main question temporarily in order
to allow the present storm in Congress to blow
hut that is beside the point
Common sense would say that We should first
know whether the law was constitutional Then if
found be constitutional, it would be appropriate
to determine instances arise whether officials
have acted beyond the authority bestowed IN the law
In the present case, the court is proceeding in re-
verse order. The last thing will hear is the
answer to the main question.
THE court and many lawyers oppose advisory
opinions or declaratory judgments not arising
out of specific They want the court to pass
the conStitutionalty of legislation but defer this
function long possible Naturally lawyers prefer
that system. 1t makes more business.
But if the Supreme Court is to retain its veto
power over CongreSs--which is another question
again-why should it not register its veto immedi-
atey with regard to the constitutonalty of a law
just as the President is required to register his veto
Immediately? That would not preclude the court
from subsequently overruling actions of executive
officials which were deemed beyond the powers of
the statute.
Delays under existing procedure seem waste
ful when millions of dollars and such necessities as
light and power for whole communities are involved
POLITICIANS recognize two kinds of graft

distier he can sell us his liquor if he viii give me
10 per cent on his sales to the state that is graft
and ought to go to the pententiary. But suppose
say 70 him: I'll send you man. You put him
