FORD DEFINES PURPOSES

today Is corruption, waste, inefficiency
and extravaganza in State govern
ment. There is too much politics anG
too little business, and this condition
will continue as long as we sit quiet
| ly by and permit the politicians and
political machines to operate without
restraint at the expense of the tax
payer.
"In the past 31a years, there has
been built up, at State expense, the
most powerful political machine the
State has ever known.
During the recent primary, hun
dreds of State employees travelled
throughout the State in State-owned
automobiles, and at State expense, en-
gagged in nothing but political work
and we, the taxpayers, footed the bill
During this campaign, the same tao
tics are being used, only to a greater
extent. Hundreds of men and women
are being put on the payroll, not be-
cause their services are needed, but
because it is thought they have polit-
ical influence and can induce others
to support the Governor in his efforts
for reelection.
1--WE read of the corrupt political
machines in New York, Chicago, Lou
isiana, Kansas City, and other cities
and states, and we are told that the
political racketeers have. strange
hold on the people, and that they con-
tinue themselves in power by corrup-
ton and racketeering, yet we are
operating under similar conditions,
only on smaller scale, and unless
we awaken to our duty, it will only
be short time until the same forces
will have strangle hold upon the
people of Montana
II promise you that I will crush this |
political machine and will drive all |
jackets and racketeers out of the |
State government"

fled with the answer to our query
relative to uniting the activities of
the dependent department with that of
the child welfare department.
Your committee was also not en-
tirely satisfied with the employment
of a goodwill ambassador under the
title of public relations representative
with relatively fancy salary and an
unlimited travelling account.
1t was instantly apparent to your
committee that there was a lack of
coordination everywhere and that this
lack of coordination was due to the
inefficiency of the administrator and
the board
The committee wishes to commend
the several department heads who
were called in for information for
lhSh hHOWlSuSc VI the department
over which they had charge.
Witnesses from the various coun-
tries were called and testimony from
these witnesses disclosed the follow
ing:
That relief now being paid is in
adequate to provide standard COM
patble with decency and health,
which is the standard set up by the
board.
Although this standard set up re-
CURED $500 for family of four, they
actually receive an average of $3714.
In some counties the case workers
merely look the applicant over and
give a grocery order for $1,000.
There seems to be no regular policy.
The various county administrators
md county boards were charged with
'iolations of the act in respect to APP
eals which were taken from decisions
t case workers. There seems to be no
egular procedure by which the vari- I
us county boards arrive at a definite |
ecision
The old age payments were de- |
Jared to be inadequate as such sums {
$3.50 or $500 were being paid to t
ome of these old people. 1
