should be rendered so far as pos
sible where the recipient lives, by
persons who know his home and his
neighborhood, persons who have a
friendly understanding of his diff.
culties.
Relief dispensed from a dist.
aDce by persons who have no know
view and can learn nothing more
OF the problem without spending
much time in local investigation,
is costly in time and money and
tends to be wasteful by rendering
relief where it Is not really needed,
or by extending relief beyond the
time OF need, or by giving relief
that is either too little or 90
much
Kelso asserted, however, that
local administration Of relief funds
can be and often does become an
inadequate handout or a favor
ing and unnecessary gift.unless the
process is gagged by standards and
principles of sound relief prac'
tees"
That Is why, he said. it is accept
ed principle that a relief program
and its application should be state
wide, made and controlled by a
state agency
KeisO said many decades OF eX
perience with public relief in all
parts Of the nation had demonstrat
ed that no member Of any board ri
commission should act as its eXecu
tive orr employe in any capacity
nor should they hold any other 20
