Must Be Certified

Under present practice as con-
tradistinguished from the original
effort of the WPA to run the
whole show, the need Of the
worker is in most states deter
mined by state or local agencies
and certified to WPA. Once the
individual is certified as unem-
ployed and without adequate
means of support, WPA puts him
to work while the money holds
out.
The system employed in most
states has the advantage Of relieV-
ing the Federal government Of the
cost of determining the need Of
the individual. Its disadvantage
lies in the proclivity Of politicians
to try to use the reliefer for his
own purpose by helping him when
he votes fright" and cutting off
aid when machine orders are not

based on the wages paid in the
area where relief is provided. Thus
unskilled workers in an agricul-

would be paid as much as $60.50.
In Washington wages range from
SIS to SIS a month. The average
for all WPA workers is $55.
On the average States contrib
ute about 25 per cent Of the cost
of WPA projects. But in some
States like New York and Penn

averages only or 6 per cent.

Costs LOWest

This disparity is explained by
the fact that the Federal Gov
ernment pays for most Of the
labor load while the States supply
most of the material. Where labor
costs are lowest the States pro-
portionate contribution to the
total cost Of the project Is high
est.
At present some $4,000 projects
are constantly under way with the
Federal Government laying about
two-thirds and the States one
third of the total cost Of the
