Editors Note: We present below
the next installment of a compre-
hensive analysis by the National
Lawyers Guild of the Wagner-Mur-
ray-Dingell bill, which will be pub
lished serially. We urge our read
ers to read each installment. A
sound and thorough understanding
of the measure will result.)
A New Unified Public Assistance
Program.
The Problem
In 1885, the federal government pro-
posed comprehensive program to
deal with the employable and unem-
playable unemployed and needy in
this country The program consisted
of three parts: (a) a social insurance
system, providing old age and surviv-
ors' insurance and unemployment in
surance; (b) a federal grants-in-aid
program of public assistance, dealing
with three special categories of as
sistance, a. old age assistance, (2)
assistance to the blind, and CD assist
ance to needy children; (c) a federal
public works program (WPA) to pro-
vide employment for the employable
unemployed In presenting this gen.
eral problem to the nation, President
Roosevelt stated to congress "The fed
eral government must and shall quit
this business of relief. Thus, all
needy persons, who did not fit into
the three categorical systems of public
assistance, were left to be provided
for by the states and localities.
The NRPB has found that in 1910
nearly 60% of the people over IS
were not self supporting, but that the
old age assistance program reached
only about one-third of the aged
needy. 1t also found that the federal
government failed to provide WPA
work for all employable persons, and
that as many as 1.3 million workers
eligible and available for WPA en-
ployment were not provided such en-
ployment So far as local general
public relief is concerned, the NRPB
found that in 1910 there were still
some sections of the country in which
there is no provision for local public
general relief, and that where gen
eral relief is provided stable groups
are barred from aid by reason of
eligibility requirements.
The NRPB estimates that in jan
uary 1910, more than three million |
cases approximately three persons
to case, or 100000 persons) should |
have been receiving general relief in
stead of the 1,674,000 cases who &C.
tually received relief at that time"
Where relief or assistance was pro-
vided, the amount was generally not
adequate to maintain life in health |
and decency. In June, 1940 the aver
age payments for old age assistance
ranged from $3.50 monthly per recip-
lent in Arkansas to $37.95 in Califor
mia, with only two states Colorado
and California; making average pay
ments exceeding $50 per month, with
a national average of $20.11. Insofar
as general, direct, public relief is con-
cerned the NRPB finds that nowhere
in the United States, where study
of relief has been made, is the relief |
grant sufficient to maintain the fam
lily at an emergency standard of liv-
ing. Of SO cities studied, Is pro-
vide relief grants which are between (

By the NATIONAL LAWYERS GUILD

300 and $3.50 below the sum neede'
for this level of living. In 13, tn
grants are less than 5000 of thu
amount needed Thus, the NRPB dis
closes a vast area of unmet need ant
of need met only to an inadequate
extent.
Since 1910, the economic situation
of the country as whole has under
gone an enormous change. War pro
duction and the removal from the la
Dor supply of millions of men for the
armed services has decreased unem
ployment substantially and, therefore
decreased relief case loads. But the
war boom has not changed the situa
ton for the unemployable, and there
are still millions of persons in this
country who are in need of assistance
We have noted above that old age
assistance was provided in 1910 to
only one-third of the needy aged over
65 Ii is probable that many millions
of needy aged still remain without
provision AS to general relief, APP
proximately 100000 families approx
imately 100000 persons) are still be-
localities.
The Social Security Board states
the tragic conclusion as follows:
Studies of the board and other
official agencies have shown time
and again that the majority of the
oh Of Init
growing up in homes where re-
sources are too small to supply the
shelter, food, clothing, and other es-
sentials needed for child's health
full growth and development. The
present expansion of earnings has
improved the situation of families
with children, as of others, but as
a group they remain at the bottom
of the economic scale and in large
part below any line which can be
accepted as an American standard
of living. Under the stress of war
conditions and of circumstances to
be anticipated in the postwar years,
the economic handicaps of children
and their parents are threat to the
future well-being of the United
States"
A long range program cannot, of
course, be designed upon the basis of
boom economic conditions. 1t
should be planned to meet the stresses
occasioned by changes in economic
conditions or economic crises. From
his standpoint, the experience of the
decade, 1930-1940, which has been so
analysed by the NRPB
N its 1943 reports, must serve as an
invaluable guide in determining what
must be done in overhauling our ar
for public assistance. The |
NRPB has made it clear that, if our |
social insurance systems are to be |
United to an insured portion of the
population, we must erect an adequate
public assistance system, which can
provide minimum security for the non
insured portion of the population.
Proposals for Public Assistance
Under the bill, the federal govern
nent would stop making payments !
Inder Title I for old age assistance,
title TX for aid to dependent children
nd Title x for aid to the blind. In
tead, it provides for grants-in-aid to
hose states, which set up unified pub
ic assistance system, complying with
ertain standards, for assistance to
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1944-06-16

not in excess of 500 per month. In
sofar as the bill would permit federal
contributions where the state did not
take such income into consideration,
the provision is sound, because it
would make possible state assistance
without grinding the recipient into
absolute restitution before giving him
assistance.

creation of new national system of
public employment offices"l

humane action Of the last legislature
in its utter disregard of the unfortun-
| ate inmates at the Static Hospital for
the Insane at Warm Springs We
criticize, too, the governor for his
failure to call special session of the
Legislature to properly alleviate that
disgraceful situation. We insist that
the next legislature and a new gov
ernor properly provide for our state
institutions, and put an end to ride
ulous and false economy
10. We demand an administration of
our state liquor system based on
sound business and fiscal practices,
and the elimination of the bungling
and favoritism of the present admins
tration. We must abolish the unlim-
tied opportunity for graft and corrup-
ton innate in the present system, by
providing adequate control and direc-
ton through officers elected by and
responsible to the people All funds
should be deposited Immediately with
the State Treasurer, all claims should
be approved by the State Board of
Examiners, all payment of claims
should be by voucher of the State
Auditor, and all purchases made by
the State Purchasing Agent, as re-
quired in the conduct of all other state
departments, boards, and commits
sions.
II. We advocate that the present
soldiers vote law be amended to per-
init our fighting men and women to
vote without the requirement of regis
tration and without restrictions as to
age.
CONCLUSION
This statement of principles and
legislative program has been prepared
not to meet the requirements of a
campaign platform. 1t sug-
gests a program that outlines briefly
the great issues of our time and the
position we as ordinary
people should take. 1t proposes di-
rection to our members and units for
a program of study and discussion, so
that they can properly inform and
educate themselves on these tremen-
dous problems. We do not contend
that it is full and complete, but it is
a sincere expression of our stand on
-hese vital questions of our day.
1t indicates too that our organiza-
ion should not be merely an election
year spasm, that will die in November,
instead it is program for which we
IAN fight all year round, day in and
lay out. We must remember that the
of our democratic rights
and their retention is a continuous
battle. Democracy just does not exist
without effort and fight and struggle;
t can only be retained by fighting for
t constantly and continuously. Let
is all enlist in that fight
