Nothing is giving the Admins
problem of what TO do about I'M
employment and the relief of the
unemployed. With business in most
lines almost back to the pre-de-
pression level there are still ac-
cording to Government estimates.
about $500. GOO persons without
jobs. OF these. the WPA is taking
care of about 2.400. 600.
There are also nearly 9 million
persons. counting all of the families
of the unemployed. who are receiv-
ing direct relief from state and To-
cal sources. Much of this money
! comes out of the Federal treasury.
The federal governmnt is spend
ing above los million dollars a
month on WPA wages alone. The
problem is, how can this burden of
relief expenditures be continued if
, at the same time Federal expend-
lures in general are to be reduced?
Two Relief Views
There is a decided conflict of
opinion as to what ought TO be
done. On the one hand is the group
of relief workers. headed by Harry
l.. Hopkins, WPA Administrator,
which holds that relief should be
regarded as a permanent policy of
the Federal government. These folk
believe that there is no Likelihood
that business and industry will ever
absorb all the nations employable
citizens. especially since about 500
900 young persons reach the work
ing age every year, adding TO the
available labor supply.
On the other hand there is a large
group which believes the time ha:
come to turn the problem back tC
the states and their local govern.
ments. This view has important
fore, under pressure from two sides
each urging upon him a policy dia
metrically opposed TO that of thu
other.
There are complications, politica
and otherwise. in the way of either
course. A strong lobby has devel
oped, composed of Governors o
states and mayors of municipalities
who are united in opposing an,
withdrawal of the Federal govern
ment from the relief situation. The.
do not want the responsibility 0
putting the burden upon their loca
taxpayers.
Another complication is the al
titude of many members OF Con
gress. who have found the politica
patronage Of the Federal relief OF
ganization useful to themselves In
deed, there is a feeling in Washing
ton that Congress may block an
attempt on the part of the Admin
istration to curtail relief expend
lures, and insist upon appropriai
ing more money than the Presiden
asks for.
The situation holds the possibi
ity of a row between President an
Congress. ii the President does, a
many believe he will. accept tn
view of those who think it is tim
to call a halt on Federal relief.
National Defense thought
There IS no doubt whatever tina
official Washington is "jittery' 0
the subject of war. Although Their
does not appear TO be a war clou
on our national horizon one hear
men in high places emphasizing tn
necessity OF strengthening our d.
lenses on land and sea and in I'll

WORK
BY u. S. SOUGHT
Share of Relief Cash for
Lasting Improvements
Asked by Architects.

Expenditure Of work relief money
for permanent Improvements is asked
by the officers and board of directors
of the American Institute of Archi-
tects in a letter to President Roose-
welt.
"The officers and directors of the
institute, representing all sections Of
our country, have adopted a resolu-
ton approving the proposal that some
reasonable proportion Of the money
to be appropriated by the present
Congress for work relief shall be desig-
mated for expenditure for permanent
improvements-through agencies Of
the Federal Government which GUS
tomarily execute such work under the
contract system" said the letter,
signed by Stephen v. voorhees, Of New
York, president.
such action would give employ
ment to those groups and individuals
in the building industry who are now
maintaining themselves independent
ly in private work.
For the immediate future they are
in real need of that supplemental
work which will arise from Federal
aid to construction projects of a per-
manent nature throughout the COM
munities of the Nation.
I'VE beg Of you to give considera-
ton to this plea on behalf of the build
ing industry. when your advice and
guidance Is sought by the Congress
with respect to its final action on
pending legislation"

Screens Should Be Painted.

Wherever dampness and humidity
are fairly prevalent, copper screens
and roofing will develop surface cor
rosion. When the corrosion washes
down on white painted surfaces it
produces a stain. To prevent this, 1t
is well to coat copper with clear var

REPUBLICANS DEFY
TAX LAW SECTION.
To Continue Exposing Levies
Consumer Pays, With
Challenge TO Farley.

The Republican National Committee,
In a statement released by It's pup
licity department, declared yesterday
1t will continue to carry to the people
the issue of hidden Federal taxes IN
prices paid for goods by consumers.
It virtually challenged the Roosevelt
administration to invoke a forgotten
section of the tax laws which pro-
hibits a merchant from stating to his
customers the amount OF tax winch
Is carried in the prices for his goods.
will the New Deal now attempt
TO persecute the corner butcher Tor
telling the housewife how mucn OF
the cost of pork chops goes into New
Deal taxes?" the committee asked.
THE Republican committee thinks
not. It does not believe that the
Roosevelt Farley regime will care to
carry such an issue to the people, de-
spite the Attorney Generals threats.
1t does not believe that the New Deal,
despite the policy of intimidation,
coercion and regimentation which has
been carried on for three long years,
will have the temerity to prosecute
any citizen for telling the truth about
New Deal COSTS"
Fear Campaign Charged.
Commenting on this situation, Carl
n. Cook, chairman of the Iowa Re-
publican State Central Committee,
charges that Chairman Farley and his
New Dealers, frightened by the swing
to Landon, are launching campaign
of intimidation and fear.
Long ago Farley promised that this
would be a dirty campaign" Cook
said. "Along with his dirt, Farley is
throwing epithets which threaten nnes
and jail sentences to any merchant
who dares reveal to his customers the
truth that the Government Is collect
ing from him Federal taxes IN the
price of the commodities he buys.
1T is evident that the New Dealers
do not want to acqualnt the taxpayer
with the fact that So out OF every So
collected by the Federal Government
in taxes are paid by the consumer
in the price of the commodities pur-
chased.
If it is wrong for the butcher to
post the amount of tax in a pound
of meat, it is just as wrong tor tneaters
and filling stations to post the tax
on the price of their products. New
Dealers have not been concerned ABOUT
the latter postings," Cook said.
To Continue Drive.
They are concerned about the tax
postings on meat because they do not
want the public to know the truth
The Republican party believes that
the public is entitled to know the facts
about the national expenditures and
about the burdensome taxes resulting
therefrom, and we propose to continue
to enlighten the public on this tax
question in so long as this a democ-
racy."
The statement said President Roose-
welt wrote to Roy w. Howard, head of
. newspaper chain, that consumers
taxes" had risen from 80 per cent to
so per cent of the national revenue
between 1929 and 1885.

APPLE SCAB EPIDEMIC
THREATENS THIS YEAR

Apple scab threatens to be much
more severe this year than last,
says Carl ]. Eide, plant disease
specialist, University Farm, so he
urges application of a "pre-pink"
spray, especially in orchards where
scab was troublesome last year.
Early spraying is very important
in controlling apple scab, Eide ex-
plains. The pink spray is the first
one applied by many growers in
Minnesota. The pre-pink spray
should be given earlier, about the
time the first leaves are unfolded
and the blossom buds exposed. A
second spraying should be applied
when the blossom buds are pink,
another when nearly all Of the Pc
tails have fallen, and two or three
during the summer. Lime-sulphur.
5 quarts to so gallons Of water.
should be used. To all these sprays
except the pre-pink, add IL pounds
Of arsenic of lead to control in
sects.
Scab gained Roadway slowly in
1885, Eide says, because it was light
in 1884 and very little was carried
over winter. However, 1t reached
severe proportions in the summer
OF 1885 in orchards which were not
properly sprayed, and this year the
danger Of an epidemic appears
greater because an abundance of
the disease fungi has been carried
ever on the leaves.
