Uncle Sam takes the so-called "em-

direct relief" or general relief. About
1000, 900 families are receiving this
second-clas relief.
Contributing only three and . halt
billion dollars for relief in seven years,
the local governments have, for the
most part, decided to put their money
into direct relief. because it will 90
farther there and the method Is easier.
What direct relief really amounts to Is
q dole.
Roughly, States and cities have
spread the dole among the destitute,
who for one reason or another can't
get Q Federal w. P. A. Jobs, or (2)
social security benefits. The average
dole case, that is, family or single
person registered as q relief case"
gets an average Of $25 q month.

To show for this, the taxpayer has,

70 destitute family, relief check
may be mama from heaven-or it may
represent life without hope.
To politician, the relief check may
Be a perplexing problem in government
Or it may provide visions Of votes.
Those things are debatable.
But there Is no question that to the
treasures Of the United States and its
subdivisions, the relief check is pain
IN the neck.
For the relief check Is more than
the public budgets can chew. It Is red
Ink on the public books-red ink that's
going to stay on the books for long
time to come.
Seven-Year Cost 1871 Billions.
In seven years relief OF the unem-
ployed has cost at least s13,5oO, 900, 900
First cities, counties and States started
spending. Then in 1882 Uncle Sam
jumped in. Since then the Federal
Government has far outdistanced the
States and cities-forking over 10 bill
lions, while the States have Clipped in
three and a half billions.
Thirteen and half billions Is
lot Of money.
In the kind Of money anybody can
count, relief is costing nearly $4,000
. minute. And the rate Of spending
Is going up.
That $4,000 minute includes some
forms Of so-called permanent relief
such as c. c. c., farm security pay
ments, old-age pensions and unem-
ployment insurance.
It does not count Federal pump
priming. Throw that in and the cost
Of relief since 1881 approaches the
astronomical sum OF 20 billions of dol
lars.
Must Have Adequate Food.
Relief, as such, costs big money be-
cause each one Of the millions requir-
ing relief cannot be dismissed with a
ha11dout Of dollar or two a month.
At the minimum he's got to have
enough, or what passes for enough, to
oAt.
Relief people do not receive equal
ksatment. They receive checks, cash,
