kins at the Secretary of Commences
country place last Sunday, is, Of
course, fully aware of the rich op-
portunity for adding to his public
stature, which has suddenly come to
him. 1t is not a new field he will
plow. AS Governor Of Indiana, he
organized and administered State
relief prior to Federal aid. His re-
lief commission set up scheme for
State supervision of E. r. A., G. w.
A.. P. w. A., and w. P. A., under
workable programs. He established
free employment services, unemploy-
ment compensation, pensions for
aged and blind and public aid for
widows and orphans. He brought
social security to Indiana, and his
pioneering in public assistance to
the needy gave the Nation a prac-
ticable pattern. While accomplish
ing all this the Governor reduced
the tax burden and left Indiana
with a $1o,oOo,ooo surplus and no
State debt.
