RA ENDS WORK
IN 30 HOUSING
PROJECTS

Drastic curtailment Of the re
settlement program, due to the
mounting costs of the drought
relief, has been announced by the
Resettlement Administration, ne
cesSitating the abandonment OF
some 80 major resettlement
projects.
Elimination of personnel at the
rate of about 500 persons per
month has been going on for the
past three months, it was dis.
closed, and additional personnel
cuts are to be made in the near
future in both the washington
and field staffs of RIA.
The curtailment will not affect
the completion of the neighboring
model community development at
Greenbelt, Md, but the project at
Cumberland Farms has been aban-
doned.
Originally there was appropri-
ated only $85, 100000 for resettle-
ment purposes in the act OF 1886
and the President was given the
power to transfer an additional
$13, 900 900 from other funds if he
deemed it necessary. Drought re-
lief has been estimated at $70,-
600 900 already spent and it is
thought another $25,000,000 may
be spent before the relief plan is
completed.
This is an unexpected emer'
gency and has been largely sup
piled with transfers from other
funds under the provisions Of the
appropriations act giving the
President the power to make
such transfers up to IS per cent
of the original appropriation.
Two of the four proposed sub
urban community projects, one at
Franklin Township, N. j., and
the other at Milwaukee, Wis,
have been attacked in injunction
proceedings.
The Bound Brook project at
Franklin has been finally en-
joined and within the next few
weeks the United States District
Court here will take action on the
milwaukee development, for
which 1900 acres of ground have
already been acquired, and on
which it was expected 100000
would be spent in physical i'm

LABOR OFFICIAL
. FOR LAND0N

CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-Governor
Alfred M. Landon has the respect
and backing of the thinking work
ing man, William L. Hutchinson,
general president of the Interna'
tional Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners of America, and direc-
tor of the labor division of the
Republican national committee,
declared in a statement just is
sued at national headquarters.
The report that labor is lined
up solidly for President Roosevelt"
is a bit of misleading New Deal
propaganda, Hutchinson said, add
ing:
"The thinking labOring man
realizes the substantial ad-
vanceS that have been made by
labor under Republican admins
tratiOnS. They know what pro-
lection of the home market
means to them and to their
jobs and wages.
"Granted that some officers
Of the American Federation of
Labor have Endorsed President
Roosevelt, the membership of
the Federation is 100000.
"a conservative estimate is
that 100000 of these men have
steady jobs and own their
homes. They realize that the
New Deals policy is a dangerous
one and they see the loss of
their security if it is allowed to
continue. Those without jobs
realize now that they have been
the victims of Mr.. ROOsevelt'S
broken promises"

Self Protection Il Aim.
"The act merely attempts to set up
. community method Of self-pro-
tection," explains John @. Winant,
former Republican Governor Of New
Hampshire, who was named chair
man of the Security Board by the
President.
mo man can live by himself alone.
Economic misery in one group under

I'VE recognize that security is rela-
tive. We are not asking that life be
stripped Of its challenge. We want
to lift life from the hazards Of en-
forced idleness. and mems last years
from the risk of poverty, and to give
the child chance"
If the security program can do
that-and do it well-it will be cheap
at the price.
But can it be done? Is the job too
big and too complex to be handled
by the Government? Will this most
ambitious of Roosevelt conceptions.
like some lesser ones, fall of its own
weight? Will the wastes of the pro-
gram vitiate its values? And, If the

record the economic loss to produc-
tion, because men are working ineffi-
GENTLY under this strain, or the loss
of consumer purchasing power when
the precious job Is gone.
Attacks on Three Fronts.
The security act attacks the prob
lem on three major fronts. It sets up
the loose framework of a system of
unemployment compensation to be
enacted and administered with Federal
guidance by the 48 States. It pro-
vides q gigantic all-Federal struc-
ture for the payment of benefits"
from the age of IS on, to workers
who have been taxed to build up a
huge rserve fund, the annuities to go
to the workers as matter of con-
tract rather than on the basis of
poverty. 1t establishes a program of
direct grants to States, in which Fed
eral funds match, money put up by
the States for the care of old folks.
dependent children and others who
have no other means of support.
But that is only one side of the
picture. The other side is not so
rosy. No matter how heart-warming
the slogan of Security for Every
one" may sound. the money to pro-
vide it must come from the tax
payers.
The tax bill for this great social
objective doesn't amount to so much
this year-around $500, ZOO, ,00O-but,
as the old saying goes. it grows on
you"
The idea of those who drafted the
tax provisions of the act apparently
was to feed out the bad news in easy
doses, to start 1t slowly and increase
1t progressively. That way, public
reaction against the cost would be
less violent, its absorption into the
economic structure of the country
gradual.
Tax to Be Increased.
So. this year, the tax on pay rolls
Is running at only l per cent. to
finance the early stages of unemploy-
ment insurance.
But, next year, it will be a total
of 4 per cent. 2 per cent for unem-
ployment compensation Ind 2 per
cent for the old age annuity system.
OF the latter, l per cent will be paid
by the employer and per cent by
tho employe.
Then come higher taxes. Within
10 years, the pay roll levy will total
8 per cent, in 13 years it will reach
a maximum of per cent. And that
does not include appropriations voted
from the general revenues Of the Gov
ernment for the third section Of the
act, where assistance" Is given by
matching State funds.
Expressed another way, the tax
bill will be $500, 900. 900 by 1910;
81, 600, ,000, 900 by 1945 and will reach
q peak of $500, 100000. which is
more than Uncle Sam, in recent years
has been collecting in taxes from all
sources for all purposes.
Within the next four and half
years, the total taxes collected will
amount to more than $4,000, 600, 900.
Ten years from now, the tax for So
cial security will amount to more
than the entire cost Of Government
for either 1882 or 1888. Over the
next ~ years assuming Congress
keeps the plan going) the cost will
total SAL 900 0,000, 900. or considerably
more than the national debt.
The people will pay these taxes.

LARGE CLAIM
AGAINST U. S.
is DISMISSED
Four Hundr ed Thousand
Dollar Infrin &c ment
Suit Knocked Out

WASHINGTON, April 10. = The
claim of 100000 against the Uni
ted States Government for an alleg-
ed infringement of a patent for
synchronizing machine for gunfire
from airplanes, has been dismissed
by the Court of Claims.
The decision held the device was
covered by a Marlin patent which
was developed in the use OF the
Browning aircraft machine guns
during the World War.
1.-The claim is invalid for lack OF
invention" the decision said, in
that it involved no more mechani-
cal skill on the part of Carl G. Sweb-
illus who conceived the device in
1918 while the Marlin Company was
then manufacturing Vickers and
Browning guns for the American
Army"
The decision emphasized tn
while Swebilius was employed IN
working on the device which would
enable a gun to shoot between the
blades of propeller of an airplane,
he had the assistance of Army Of
ficers and other Marlin experts,
material, blueprints, designs and ex-
detrimental data from the Ordin-
ance Department.

HEAVY VOTE

AT PRIMARIES
Activity AmongDemocrats,
Says Boyle = Every 4
body for Dimond

Frank A. Boyle, Territorial Audi
tor, returned to Juneau on the
North Sea, concluding short trip
to Petersburg, Wrangell, Kake and
Ketchikan.
At the several places visited by
Mr.. Boyle he talked with many peo-
pile and all evinced marked interest
in the coming primary election, the
Democrats taking a lively interest
in the Democratic primaries, par
ticularly in regards to the legisla-
tive slate.
Because of this strong interest
Mr.. Boyle believes that heavy and
representative vote will turn out
for the primaries.
Il consider this very encour-
aging sign Mr.. Boyle said, be
cause it is in the primaries that the
direct representatives of the people
are nominated and only through a
large and intelligent vote can the
most representative candidates for
the legislature and other offices be
chosen"
Through conversations with many
citizens throughout Southeast Alas
ka, Mr.. Boyle found that the gen.
eral opinion was that Delegate An
thony j. Dimond has given very
good service to Alaska, and that the
present Federal government has
done more for Alaska than any
other, and that voters seem to APP
preciate these facts, he said.

REPORT SHOWS
CITY AFFAIRS
IN Good SHAPE
Despite Abnormal Expenses
Municipal Government
Keeps on EvenKeel

The total net operating expenses
of the City for the fiscal year end
ing March 81 amounted to $107,-
005.14, according to the annual re-
port of A. w. Henning, City Clerk,
submitted to the City Council last
night. Against this operating ex-
pense is set incomes of tax collec-
tions, $96,65066; licenses, $21, 589.41 !;
miscellaneous, $875.62; amounting in
all to $119115.49, revealing a diff
ference of $8.242.56 in expenses and
income.
The report reveals, however, that
the City spent nearly $4,000 in abb
normal courses which would not
come up in normal years such as
$1,000 for repairs and alterations
to the City Wharf; $500 for repairs
to the public schools; $1,000 for ex-
ira police expense during the mine
strike; 1868 for new heating plant
in the City Hall; $3.50 for extra
equipment for the fire department;
$475 for replacing the fire truck
floor; $3.50 for City Hall improve
ments, and $525 for house number
ing and street signs. These items are
aside from the amount the city had
to expend in connection with PWA
and FERA work which is listed in
the report under permanent i'm
provements which amounted to SAT-
907.38. OF this amount $63,033.31
was spent on the PWA program for
concrete street paving, sidewalks,
bridges and bulkheads, the report
says, this being the net cost to the
city after the estimated grant al
lowance of $26,974.55 or 80 per cent
of labor and material, is deducted
The FERA cooperative projects
took $9,586.11, and s2,287.96 was
spent on various other permanent
improvements-streets, sewers, ETC.
Other Expense
Besides these Improvements the
City spent approximately $4,000 for
heating plant at the municipal
wharf to take care of new business
and tenants; and $3.50 went for a
police patrol car.
Bonds to the amount of $4,000
were retired, of which the PWA fund
contributed $4,000 and the general
fund $1,000.
Current liabilities total $39,011.79,
compared with total of SAL ,774.55
for current assets. Under the form
er head we find $2,766.79 for sundry
accounts payable and $2,745 due the
Territory for auto license fee col
lections. The general fund owes the
bank $4,000 for money borrowed,
and the bank advanced S20,500 to the
PWA fund to take care of the con-
tractors bills pending the receipt
of $26,974.55 due on grant from the
Government, 30 per cent on labor
and material, which money is expec-
