the proper ALLEGATION of cost. If we
had unit system of government the
question of proper diversion of the
cost of public works and public
functions would not arise. But under
our Federal system, the powers,
functions, and responsibilities are
scattered among a variety of units.
When activities affecting more than
one unit are undertaken bya central
government, or when several units
jointly undertake activities to satisfy
collective needs, the question of
costs comes up. Should they be di-
vided among the units affected?
Shall they be met by one govern
ment? The answers to the questions
must be found.

To many of our citizens condemned
such expenditures in many sections
while in Washington to get funds
for some locally-sponsored public
works.
Let me hasten to say that under
the economic dark clouds of the de-
preston activities were carried on,
and rightly so, that have no place in
normal times. However, the time is
approaching when there must be an
overhauling of the expenditures on
the basis of public need and public
good. The whole interviewer fabric
of Federal activity must be inspected
for moths of waste that might in
time weaken the threads of this
fabric.
In other words, it is growing more
difficult to have on the one hand,
state rights, as we once knew them,
and ever-increasing Federal grants
on the other. If our people want en-
larged public works or a mainten-
ance of those at present-and public
wants are soverign-our people must
be repaired to study the implications
and be ready to meet the cost.
Federal grants to states now hon.
eycomb many Federal agencies. We
have grants to states for old-age as
sistance, unemployment compensa-
ton administration, aid to dependent
children and aid to the blind. Under
the Veterans Administration we
have grants or state and territorial
homes for disabled soldiers and sail
ors. In the Department of Agricul-
ture we aid agricultural experiment
tation, agricultural reearch, cooper
alive dairy and livestock expert
ments, cooperative agricultural ex-
tension work, cooperative conserva-
ton of agricultural land resources,
cooperative forest fire protection,
cooperative distribution of forest
planting stock, forest roads and
trails and highways.
In the Department of Interior we
have grants for colleges for agricul-
ture and mechanical arts, coopera-
tive vocational education of teachers
and vocational rehabilitation.
The Department of Labor super
vises grants for maternal and child
welfare, crippled children, child
welfare and for employment service.
The Treasury offers grants for pub
lie health and education of the blind.
The Navy aids state marine schools,
and the War Department the Ma
tional Guard.
We have Federal emergency relief,
Federal emergency administration
of public works, grants for public
works projects, emergency construc-
ton of highways, and grade cross
ings. And we have other activities in
the form of grants that are too num-
erous to mention.
The purpose of this article is not
to discount the value of these pro-
jects and activities But simply to
cite how far we, as a people, have
come in our new conception of the
part the Federal Government should
have in carrying on public works.
Fortunately, we have program for
overhauling the vast machinery of
the Federal Government and for
planning for the future. The Presi-
dent recommended such a step as
not only important but necessary.
Our poole will be the final arbiter
of public works. They are beginning
to realize that we cannot have econ |
omy, reduction of the public debt
and lower taxes and at the same
time maintain and increase public
That is the situation |
today.
One of the problems, of course, is
