In yesterdays demonstration,

One in Four on Relief

One in Four on Relief
TRY to visualize S35 ,O97 ,616, 1855!
To me that is an utterly incom-
prehensible sum, and expect it is
the same to all readers. 1t repre-
sents the amount the Federal gov
eminent paid out as aid to individ-
uals in the 10 years 1884 to 1916, in
elusive. 1t represents payments by
the federal government only. 1t
does not include any relief pay
ments by states. counties or munich
palities. 1t does not include any
subsidy payments.
The nearest l can come to
the meaning of such a vast sum
is to distribute it among indi-
viduals. 1t is equivalent to the
payment, over that period, Of
$1,000 to each of more than IS
million people, one fourth Of
the population of the United
States. Broadly it means that
of each four people three have
had to pay for the support Of
the fourth. And that condition
exists in America, and with a
people throughout whose history
as nation have, with but rare
exceptions, provided for them
selves.
Something like one-fourth of our
total population-men, women and
children-are living off the produc-
tive efforts of the other three-fourths.
We boast of go million employed
workers, but with that our federal
payments for relief would indicate
some 80 million non-producers who
are living off the producers.
EVEN IN BOOM TIMES
The payments did not stop during
the flush war years when industry
was crying for any and all, men or
women, who would work. They have
not stopped in the flush peace
time years since the war. AS late
as 1916, last year, the federal gov
eminent paid out more than a bill
lion and quarter dollars as relief
aid to individuals. On top of that
many hundreds of millions were
paid by the states, the counties and
the municipalities. Altogether
staggering, incomprehensible total.
Since the early 1905 we have
been creating an indolent class.
Instead Of teaching industry
and thrift; of the virtues of the
individual providing for him.
self, we have taught the ad-
vantages of idleness. We have
shown our people how to live
without work; how unnecessary
it is to save for the rainy days.
We have encouraged incidence.
The American people do not pro-
pose that the needy and helpless
shall starve or suffer, but it is time
for those who can work, but will
not, to find out they must provide
for themselves if they would eat.
We need some severe lessons in
industry and thrift to teach the in
dolents we have created that the
day of the "gimmes" has passed;
the day when something could be
obtained for nothing is over; that if
they would eat they must work.

Rights of Local Government

A ISSUE that will loom large
in the coming presidential cleo
ton will be a return to the people
the rights of local and state self
government. Strange as it may be
in the light of history, that will be
more a Republican than a Demo-
cratic demand. In that connection
there is one privilege neither party
will demand for the states. That is
the spending of state money for
the development of state projects
when the federal government can
be induced to pay the bill. Just why,
for example, the people of Boston
should assist in paying for a con-
troll of flood waters in the Los
Angeles river, is a question hard
to answer. That is but one of many,
and a small item, of the purely
local or state projects for which the
federal government is asked to, and
does, pay. Representatives and
senator's will continue to be ex-
pected to bring home the bacon.
Supplying the money is not the part
of local and state self government
the people are demanding. 1t is not
the grants from the centralized gov
eminent to which they object.
Speaking of high costs: You
may not realize that since 1929,
while the price of food has in
creased 331 per cent. When the
price of beefsteak is higher than
We will pay, we can buy neck
bones, or tell the market man
to go jump in the river. There
is no way out with the tax COL
lector; we pay, no matter how
exorbitant the charges may
be. Today government, such as
it is. is costing us more than
the food we eat. There is an
election next year.
When you buy is tons of coal for
the winters heat, you pay John
Mitchell a S1.50 tax.

ANOTHER GOLD
 WAVE SPREADS
 MIDWEST AREA
(By The Associated Press)

Another cold wave was over- spreading the upper Midwestern States today while virtually all the rest of the nation had normal or slightly above normal temperatures.
 The Chicago Weather Bureau said the coldest weather early today was centered in North Dakota where Pembina reported 10 below zero but that the rigid blast was moving into northern Iowa and Wisconsin.
 Minneapolis andn Duluth, Minn., which had readings of 18 and l6 degrees, respectively, could expect sharply lower readings tonight The mercury was expected to skid to from five to ten below zero as far east as northwestern Wisconsin and to five below inn northwestern Iowa.
 General rains, with two inches at some points, were reported along the Gulf Coast from Texas to Geor- gia and Florida and intermittent showers fell in the coastal regions of Washington and Oregon.
 Elsewhere, fair weather prevailed.
