Need of Permanent
Works Setup Seen
EMERGENCY VIEW OF
PROBLEM OUTDATED,
COMMISSION SAYS

Need for a permanent work re-
lief agency in the federal govern
ment, organized for quick expan-
sion and contraction as the ma
TONS unemployment situation
may. require, is pointed out in
the report of the II members Of
the Minnesota division of the
United State Community I'M
provement Appraisal released
Wednesday. George A. Barnes,
Redwood county attorney, was a
member of the Minnesota COM
mission.
Into lengthy report on the re-
suits of the governments work
relief programs, the commission
condensed the reports from NUM-
cipalities throughout Minnesota,
among them that of Redwood
Falls which was cited with others
in a preliminary report as part
icularly comprehensive.
The commission recognized
unemployment as a permanent
problem and urged that it no
longer be handled on an emer-
gency basis. AS a prerequisite of
a permanent program the report
urged that a system of planning
boards be set up to assure re-
serve of worthwhile projects. 1t
warned against creation of ply
steal properties in excess of any
municipalities maintenance abil-
ity.
''The goal of work relief must
be to attain such degree of pro-
ficiency that the public will ap-
prove of its operation and be
willing to bear the tax burden it
entails" the report states. IT,.
Commenting on the complaint
of some municipalities that men
prefer work on federal projects to
private employment. the report
stresses there should be rea-
sonable differential between wag-
es on federal relief work projects
and those paid in private indus
try so that there will be an
incentive for persons employed
on relief work to accept private
or other non-relief government
employment, provided, however,
that the application of the differ
entail shall not result in a sub
security income"
The commission saw no posi-
bility of disseminating work re-
lief, predicting disaster if at
tempted. municipalities sim
ply cannot carry the immediate
relief burden which would re-
suit" the report declares.
Generally, the commission
found work done on federal pro-
jects to be satisfactory, some city
reports indicating workmanship
comparable with results obtained
in private industry. 1t suggests
that Incidence on the part of a
small percentage of the workmen
has in some cases reflected on the
entire crew.
With Mr.. Barnes on the ap-
praisal committee are Frank M.
Rarig, Jr., secretary of the Ram
sey county welfare board; Theo-
dore H. Arens, state rural credit
conservator; R. A. Stevenson,
dean of business at the univer-
sity; George M. Shepard, presi-
dent of the Minnesota Federation
of Architectural and Engineering
societies; Herman Aufderheide,
state relief administrator; Rev. L.
A. Glenn, secretary of the United
Catholic Charities of Duluth; Guy
Alexander, Hennepin county COM
missioner; Anna Dickie Olesen,
state director of the national
emergency council; S. E. Olson,

and S. L. Stolte, director of OPP

GRESS; ZWACH AT
NEXT PTA MEETING

Nearly $50 was realized for the
instrument fund from the pro-
gram presented by the school mu-
sic department Monday evening
in the high school auditorium and
the large audience was enthusiast
tic in its praise for the showing
made by each organization. Miss

and Italian folk tunes and the

tet and sextet. The orchestra,
playing beautiful music with SYM

the wide range in the ages of the
performers, beginning with nine

OF Old Debts

OFFICIALS PROUD OF
FINANCIAL POSITION
OF REDWOOD FALLS

Burdened by only $1,000 of
what are not strictly current
bonds, the city of Redwood Falls
is in an enviable financial posi-
ton.
A six-year Improvement pro-
gram has netted a $4,000 sew
age disposal plant which could
not be replaced for 100000; con-
struction of Is blocks of storm
sewer; blacktopping of so Red
wood Falls blocks with accom-
panying curb and gutter building
and repair; the purchase OF two
new trucks for the city street
department and fire truck;
building of the band shell; ac-
QUESTION of the Memorial Field
tract and contribution toward its
development; new wells at the
municipal pump house; a garage
addition to the city hall and con-
siderable Improvement through
out the building; improvement of
the general condition of sidewalks
and the acquisition of property on
the west bank of Lake Redwood
for eventual use as a park.
Gets Cheap Money
"And we're solvent" city Of
ficials state, "a city has to be
in fine financial shape to borrow
money at two and one half and
three per cent as we have recent
ly. These are the lowest interest
rates in the history of the muni-
cipality," they add with pardon,
able pride.
Waterman refunding bonds Of,
which $500 remains to be paid
are the only old liabilities on the
city books.
Bonded Indebtedness here in.
1882 was $59,170, per capita
debt of S23.19 and indebted,
ness of five and one-haf per cent
of the assessed valuation of real
and personal property.
In 1887 net Indebtedness had
risen to $89,027.06, some over
eight per cent of the assessed val
uation, making a per capita debt
of $32.15 not considering sub
stantial population gain.
The rise is certainly not high in
view of the fact that value of
made in six years
years is estimated at 100000 or
between S35 ard $40 per capita.
Moreover, all but a small amount
is for current improvements.
Last available figures on the
average debt in the state was
S65.62 per capita, or 1914 per cent
OF the assessed valuation.
The mill rate here has only in
creased from 24.1 during the de-
preston in 1882 to 27.5 in 1897.
The homestead exemption is part
ly responsible for the increase.

Warm Springs, Ga.-(P)-Pre-
Sident Roosevelt, charging organ
lied opponents of his government
reorganization program had
planted bogies under every bed,'
asserted in a letter made public
today that he has mo inclination
to be dictator"
The letter, addressed to an I'M
named friend March 20, urged
approval of the measure, Gin its
present FORM and replied to
charges the legislation would
make him dictator by asserting,
LAS you well know, I am as
much opposed to an American
dictatorship as you are, for three
simple reasons:
Il have no inclination to be a
dictator.
Il have none of the qualifica-
tons which would make me a
successful dictator.
Il have too much historical
background and too much know
ledge of existing relationships to
make me desire any form of die
tatorship for a democracy like the
United States of America"
In Washington, the presidents
letter gave administration forces
fresh ammunition today after the
start of the house battle over
government reorganization.
The presidents lieutenants al
ready had expressed confidence
the house would approve legis-
latiOn by Saturday without i'm

statement encouraged them to be-
lieve the margin of victory would
