REPUBLICANS PLATFORM FOR
WORK RELIEF TAKING SHAPE

WASHINGTON, May H. WR) -
The Nork-rclief platform upon
which the 1886 Republican presi-
dental candidate will stand began
today to take recognizable form.
Republicans meeting in national
convention June 8 probably will be
influenced in drafting their relief
plan by the program offered in
the senate by Sen. Arthur Vanden-
berg, r.. Mich, and the similar
Republican suggestions voted down
by an Overwhelmingly Democratic
house of representatives.
The house this week adopted a
deficiency bill carrying 81 ,425, 100000
for Works Progress administration
made-work relief projects, 1t was
a strictly new deal measure. The
Vandenberg alternative would pro-
vide II 1,500,000000 plus uneXpended
relief balances.
Vandenbergs program:
/. Relief administration by state
boards with responsibility to use
either dole or made work
2. ALLEGATION of relief funds to
state boards on pro rata basis, con-
sidering population, unemployment,
living cost and tax resources.
3. Provision of 25 per cent of
relief funds by the states.
This coincided almost exactly
with the first point of a program
offered in the house by Rep. John
Taber, r., N. Y, senior COP mem
Imperial Valley press., 1936-05-14

Der Of the house appropriations
committee.
Tabcr'S amendments:
/. To substitute the dole for
work relief, shift administrative re-
sponsibility for relief from the
federal to state governments and
require states to contribute 25 per
cent of the gross relief load.
2. Reduce the Tennessee Valley
authority appropriation in the de-
ficiency bill from approximately
$40,000.000 10 $35 100000
3. Forbid expenditure of any Of
the 81 ,425,O0O,0OO relief fund for DR.
ReXford G TugWcll's rescttlcment
administration.
These amendments we're defeat
ed in the house.
An analysis of The house roll calls
indicates that the various rival
camps into which the Republican
party must necessarily be divided
prior TO the nomination convention
appear to be fairly Well agreed on
a relief program.
There is considerable sentiment
for the dole as a, substitute for work
relief. There is clamorous enthu-
siasm for lessening the relief load
upon the federal treasury. And,
Republicans generally believe the
administration of relief should be
the responsibility of the states even
though the federal government may
advance major proportion of the
sums cXpenda Bile.

Farmers throughout California
arc preparing TO organize perma-
nent county agricultural conserva-
tion associations for administering
lcally the farm program authorized
by the Soil Conservation and Dom

Congress in March of this year.
Community meetings are being
held at which a community COM
mittee of three members and one
alternate are elected. One of the
three regular community commit
teemen will be made chairman.
The chairmen of all such COM

constitute the county board of di-
rectorS of the county agricultural
conservation associations. This
county board of directors will elect
county committee of three mem
bers, it being assumed that every
effort will be made TO elect to this
county committee persons who as
a group represent fairly the in
terests of the farmers in all parts
of the county.
The county board of directors
will elect this county committee at
a meeting to be held after the
community meetings have been
held. Tho county board of direc-
tors will draw up plans for hold

program is relayed TO the county

The first year or two after his arrival
he spent doing whatever he could find
to do, farming, herding sheep, cutting
timber. always with the idea of some
other amusing letter, among several
lent to me by Mrs. Norman Hogan, a
daughter of Senator Slayton, written
for the benefit of those who
knew nothing of the west, contains
this description: These bronchos are

back, he neatly pitched me over his
head and stampeded down the field.
The experience was worth more than
it cost, as I was quick enough to land
on my feet. However, the next time

Again he says, probably in answer to
someone who asks about chances in
the west: I'm this country pluck

one n is willing to work car get all
he can do at wages that would seem
big in the east. What the territory has
no use for is a man who cannot or will
not do an honest days work, and I
shall certainly not urge anyone to come
out here, as it depends entirely upon
the man whether or not he succeeds.
AS for myself, I am well satisfied, and
anxious to find a place to locate. The
difficulty is in finding a ranch with
plenty of water for %irrigating hay.
There is any amount of land, but
water is scarce, and what little there
is is mostly taken"
In 1885, however, he and his brother,

tunately, I had good weather all the
way, freezing at night, but no storms.
At that, the nights I camped out Il
was impossible to sleep much with the
few blankets I had"
All seems to have gone well from
then on until he stated in another let
ter dated Feb. 20, 1887, that "the
weather was a terror until the 18th.
Since then it has been a little better,
though the mercury has been down to
zero nearly every night, along with
terrific wind storms. Reports from
other points vary from IS to 81 below

the month. At present now is 10 inches

fected much by wind, and stock can
not paw through it. What little bare
ground there Is is devoid Of grass. We
have been camping the sheep out for
the last 10 days, which is the only way
to give them any show at all, most of
them being SO weak they are unable to
travel far, making it necessary to bed
them down where night overtakes us.
II can't begin to tell what our losses
are a. we've gotten behind with the
skinning. I do know that over half
the lambs are dead, though the old
sheep stood it better. AS to the cattle,
at least Is percent have died, and as
many more can't live until spring.
This section seems to have had more
snow than other parts, and it apparent
ly means to remain. I sometimes feel
as though I'd 60 crazy, but I suppose it
wouldn't pay. Still it is no worse than
I had expected, considering the heavy

phur Springs, to run a band OF sheep
on shares, the owner to furnish between
1000 and 1,700 head, to supply wool
sacks, etc., and to pay half h taxes.
Ford was to have half the wool, and at
the end of three years was to get half
the increase and what was left ct the
original band. The Slayton brothers
did the work and assumed full man
agement and responsibility.
The initial bit Of hard luck they ran
into was in losing their first band of
bucks. "They just disappeared" Stay

been found for 80 miles in all direc-

1t was necessary to replace them, and
In a later letter, he writes: I'VE gave
up trying to find the bucks a week ago.
Saturday I rode in a Decline, camped
out that night, and was on the road
again long before daylight, and reached

II was on the tramp all next day

DIONNE FAMILY
PLIGHT TO BE
AIRED IN FILMS
BY JOHN R. CHAPLIN

HOLLYWOOD.-Much ink has
flowed on the question of the Di-
Onne family and the right of the |
government to take over the guar
dianship of children, even in a
case as exceptional as that of the
famous quintuplets.
AS wards of the Canadian gov
eminent, the five prize-girls have
been rented out to Daryl Zanuck
for The Country Doctor, which IS
presently cleaning up cash on the
screens of the entire world. 1t is
a record-breaker, and so appealing
that one of the theatres main
troubles is said to be to get the
audiences out after the show; most
people want to stay and see the
picture several times in a row.
Zanuck is now negotiating con-
tract with the Canadian govern
ment whereby he will make &C
least one picture with the quints
each year. Commercially, Zanuck
has struck a gold mine.
Universal originally had the idea
of The Country Doctor presented
to them and turned it down. They
have never forgiven themselves,
and are now going to try to cash
in on another aspect of the quints'
life. 1t is one that is exceedingly
serious, and it is to be hoped that
instead of sensationalizing it, Uni
versal will really bring the prob
lem out into the clear in an IN
telligent manner. Lillian Barker
Chicago Tribune writer and conf
dante of the Dionne family, will
do the screenplay.
: The theme is the taking away o
the quints by the government, de
priving the Dionne family of thel
/. natural rights in exchange for
: small stipend. Excuse was thai
: the family was too poor to tax
care of the CUNTS in proper ia
! shion. If the action of the govern
ment is upheld by public opinion
it might have terrific repercuS
sions: many more workers an
: farmers families might for tn.
i same reason be deprived Of the
children.
!. The picture will be titled "Wher
{ Are NV Children? It has no
