Let's Deliver Marriage from It's Friends

THE BEST WAY TO CUT
RELIEF EXPENDITURES

In imperial county there was demon
strated this week the most practical way
OF all to achieve the reduced national
relief expenditures advocated by Pres
ldent Roosevelt in his recent revised
budget message to congress. The method
is SIMPLE. 1t is achieved by putting re-
lief clients back to work.
Officials of the relief organizations
and the National unemployment serv-
ice here expect go per cent slash In
the number of persons on relief as the
result of the agreement of 81 per cent
of the acreage in Imperial county to call
upon the National unemployment serv-
Ice for agricultural laborers. The agree
ment takes on more significance in the
light of the knowledge that large ma
Jority of relief clients in this country,
as well as in most other parts of Cali
fornia, are agricultural workers
Operators controlling 81 per cent of
the acreage in the valley promised CO.
operation at a meeting in Ell Centre
Wednesday night. Not only will they
call upon the National unemployment
service for farm laborers when they arr
needed, the operators agreed, but they
will do everything possible to inform
the unemployment office of their labor
needs in advance. The growers deserve
ployment service deserves admiration for
the respect it has inspired.
The gesture on the part of the grow
ers was not entirely an unselfish one.
They are taxpayers, and as such they
bear a percentage of the cost of relief,
whether it be local or federal. They
need men to work their crops, whether
the men are relief clients or not. Their
decision to cooperate in the re-employ-
ment program allows them to make one
expenditure serve two purposes: cutting
down the relief load hence the tax bur-
den, and at the same time spending no
more than they otherwise would spend
for agricultural labor.
With the growers and the re-employ
.ment office cooperating, it will be up to
relief administration agents to live up
to their pledges by dropping from relief
all those able bodied clients who refuse
to accept private employment, or who
deliberately fail to do the private jobs
they are set to do.
Cooperation of these three agencies,
the growers, the unemployment office
and the relief officials, will do more
than anything else could to relieve the
relief deadlock.
