Relief Stigma
House Member Offers
Program to Bolster

BY BLAIR BOLLES.

Revamp the w. p A. setup so as
to rid it of the relief stigma" and
the relief psychology" and establish
it as a "dignified" long-term pro-
gram, Representative Voorhis, DEM
ocrat, of California today urged the

which is considering changes in the

method of operation.
Representative Voorhis said the
unemployment problem will be wiCh
us until the distribution problem IS
solved. For that reason, he observed
that it will be necessary for a long
lasting work program of the general
w. p A. project type. But he cau-
toned that the national morale re-
quires a diSassociation of the label
relief" from the w. P. A.
Let us have it so that the AmerI-
can Government can say to its pen
pie, we're going to give you a job
and a chance to help build up your
country Representative Voorhis
said. The building up lies in work
on the projects, he said.
VOorhis Program.
The Californian, who appeared as
a voluntary witness before the COM
mittee, offered a program including
these points:
Admit persons to w. P. A. rolls on
a basis of income rather than a
basis of need.
Establish a system of varying
wages so the superior worker may
have special reward.
Keep the general w. P. A. wage
about 10 per cent below the pre-
vailing wage level, but set an abso-
lutte wage minimum.
Dismiss men from the w. P. A.
projects who fail to do their part
of the job.
Plan the program SO every totally
unemployed family have one rep
resentative on the W. P. A.
Fix the work month of all W.P. A.
workers at 13O hours.
Majority Go On Dole.
Representative Voorhis reported
that after the recent w. P. A. cuts
in his State, 60 per cent of those cut
Immediately went on the States re-
lief dole.
That shows the people who are

vate industry, but still need public
assistance he observed.

The city used most of the salvage

to attend a wholesale conference
with factory officials of DeSoto
and Plymouth.
He will be accompanied on the
trip by Stanley Peterson. whole

The conference is to be held the
10th and the 18th of February.
Millers presence at the meeting
Is the result of his appointment
as distributor of all Plymouth and
DeSoto parts for the entire state
of Washington, Alaska and north
ern oregon.
To put it another way, all parts
for these two well-known cars pur-
chased by dealers and garages in
the territory mentioned must be
obtained in Tacoma from the
Winthrop Motor company. Even
Portland and Seattle must obtain
Plymouth and DeSoto parts from
Tacoma.

AUTOS TO PULL
FAIRS TRAINS

With the Golden Gate Interna-
tional Exposition opening on Feb
ruary is. the Importance of the
motor cars contribution to the
success of the great exhibit is be-
ing graphically illustrated as
thousands of motorists prepare to
journey in their cars from points
hundreds of miles distant TO San
Francisco's Treasure Island. With
out today's unanimous reliance
upon personal motor transporta
ton, il is conceivable to imagine
the exposition as being planned
along entirely different lines than
its present brilliant and complete
formal.
Furthermore, not only will auto
mobiles be the most popular
means" of reaching the EXPOSE
ton, but they will be one OF the
most attractive ENDS" among the
numerous educational displays.
Among the outstanding exhibits
now being rushed to. completion is
one that the legion of visiting
motorists will find suiting their
interests perfectly-the elaborate
Ford Building. Right now large
staff of technicians are installing
the final touches in this Ford
building, and a preview discloses
the. the project is to be packed
with fascinating exhibits.
The Ford building is located in
the beautiful Court of the Pacifica
which is dominated artistically by
the statue of Pacifica, so feet high.
Best of all. the Ford exhibits
will be installed and in smooth
working efficiency in advance of
the exposition's opening on Feb
ruary Is, according to exposition
officials.
However, the elaborate Ford
building exhibits do not represent
the only example of the Ford
Motor company's intimate identi-
fication with the Golden Gate In
ternational Exposition. To solve
Treasure Islands traffic move
ment, there are 16 elephant trains
each designed to accommodate sc
passengers comfortably. T h S e
streamlined units are built over
standard Ford VS. engine and
chassis and haul three trailers.

OF course. the dealers would
rather have held a unified automo-
bile show under one roof in a
place where you might have seen
all the cars at one time and in one
place, but that is impossible in
Tacoma because we have no suit
able auditorium.
Perhaps, If we could get the
city TO spend the money they
plan to use for a new County,
City building and apply IL to-
ward the construction of
Civic Auditorium -. which We
need great deal more than
we need luxurious quarters for
public servants for polit1-
cal office holders, IL might be
possible TO put on hundred
and one things In this town
from which its citizens and
visitors might derive much
enjoyment and education.
With no place in which to hold
an automobile show. there was but
one course open to the dealers
an open house week during which
all dealer show rooms might be
open evenings and when special
displays of cars could be arranged
for those interested to inspect. And
so it is and this is the week.
If you haven't visited your favor
lite dealer or seen all the cars in
which you are interested, now is
the time to do both those things.
Even if you are not in the market
for a new car. your evening spent
viewing the 1899 models will have
been most interesting and profit
able. The new cars have much
about them which is entirely new
and in many ways are much more
modern than the furnishings and
equipment we have in our homes
=. and much more beautiful.
So take an evening between
now and Saturday, load the fam
lily in the car, and make the swing
around of the dealer show rooms.
You will enjoy it and the
dealers will be glad to see you,
even if you are Just looking"
