LAST PAYROLL
Victor Christgau State Admin
istrator Talks to Range
and Duluth Meetings.

After making informal addresses to
Clubs and Labor Advancement Associ-
ations in Hibbing, Virginia and Duluth,
State Administrator of WPA Victor
Christgau LEFT for St. Paul the first of
last week. He spent several days in
the district holding conferences with
Director Henry NORM and visiting the
Mesaba range towns.
In his talks he showed how wPA is
building buying power among persons
in this area who would otherwise be on
the dole as evidenced by data prepared
for him before arrival
In st. Louis County, 9.462 checks. to-
falling S274.015 were distributed TO
workers in the last payment. In the
district as a whole, the total number
Of checks was 11,2l9 and the total
amount for the 15-day period was s307,-
1926 Except for the fact that a
transient camp had been closed. the
number Of checks for the period-the
last half of January-would have set
record in WPA operations in District
No. l.
AT this rate said Nj Christgau,
.'WPA is putting s6l5.OO a month into
the trade channels of the area In
smaller communities, bankers and mer-
chants tell us IS per cent of all busi-
ness is carried on with money earned
by WPA workers"
-Four years ago, and when employ
ment was at its highest point" he said,
there were 100000 persons in the
United States who had no jobs With
out jobs, they had no earning power.
All lines of business suffered because
this vast army of men and women could
not pay their food, fuel and clothing
bills. While laboring men sat with
idle hands, farmers suffered the loss
Of markets for their products.
The present administration deter
mined on a policy Of recovery. Con-
greSs authorized what at the time
seemed to be an adequate appropria-
ton. Various agencies of government
started the presidents machinery of re-
covery WPA was first in the field and
bore the brlInt of the attack Of unem-
ployment Its specific job was TO take
people of relief rolls and give them
employment; pay them wages so that
they could earn money with which TO
purchase things they needed = and
wanted 1t was a process TO maintain
self-respect, TO harden muscles and TO
rebuild craftsmanship.
"Oa the basis Of present plans, WPA
will end on June 80, unless more funds
are forthcoming from the present con-
greSs. 1t is time now to seriously con-
slider the need fer a carefully considered
program that will provide for the en-
ployment Of otherwise idle persons on
public works projects that will be Of
lasting benefit to their respective COM
munities. Our experience in WPA has
shown that such projects not only can
be provided, but that they actually are
needed And if. through such a pro-
gram. it is possible TO quickly give en-
ployment TO persons who now or here
after find themselves out of a job,
through no fault of their own, the cost
will be small in comparison to social
and economic upheavals such as mark
ed the depression out of which We are
now emerging"

County SnOUpI0Uing of
Pirate Roads Not Legal.

According to County Highway En-
gineer Shepherd. the county has had
considerable trouble convincing the
rural residents that it has no legal
right to Snowplow their private en-
frances.
The matter was taken up with State
Comptroller Pearlove n St. Paul and
he notified the county as follows:
The law provides that road and
bridge funds shall be expended in the
construction and maintenance of state
aid and county roads and bridges. No
authority is granted TO the county board
or county engineer TO construct or main
tain any private road or perform pri-
vate work of any kind, the expense Of
which is payable from county road
funds. To snow plow private entrances
or roads with county road equipment
and county employees would constitute
an expenditure of public funds for a
private purpose and this is prohibited
by statute"
