UCC Reports Incomplete !.
JobIess Figures Don't Satisfy

Chadwick Smith, chairman of Unemployment Compensation
Commission the of the convenng of the Legislature
paints rosy picture of how much better the unemployment
outlook for early 1859 compared with the period
of 1868.
press week. Smith estimates that unempoy-
compensation claims will be at least 1000 less this
ing March than they in March 1858.
Such would be heartenng except for
thing Compensation claims do not reflect the actual extent
of jobeness in the state To the claim load total must be
added the total number who have exhausted their
compensation benefits How thousand longer eg
ble for compensation the commissions chairman does not
veal
Some idea may be gained of the number of exhausees
by recalling that last June 3400 workers had exhausted all
benefits Since then the number of additional exhausees has
been increasing by to 800 week. although undetermined
of workers have begun benefit years. and
therefore receiving some additional compensation
How much room for optimism there may be at this time may
also be considered light of statement by Welfare Admins
traitor W. J. Fouse the financing state conference
in Bozeman Dec 1916 ouse stated that relief costs
for Silver Bow county alone running from $4,000 to
$4,000 month Last January general assistance payments
for Silver Bow just under $4,000.
One further for questioning Chad Smiths optimism
lies in the December issue of his departments MONTANA

Attorney General Anderson ruled
that Gin such case the county is not

it be said that the action of the county
constitutes a giving or loaning of the
credit of the county to an individual
or association in the sense that the

The attorney general explained
that the history and purpose of the
section has been clarified by many

that "A like provision is found in the

wish, as I read it over, and | wish it
didn't, but I am a victim of one of
our present day evils-cynicism-and
one of my New Years resolutions is
going to be to work to develop more
positive outlook.
I am most sincere about desiring
that all the above attributes prevail
during the legislative session, and
when we have the sneaking suspicion
that they don't it is primarily our
own fault.
To avoid being cynical we have to
remind ourselves of a few pertinent
facts.
Not the least Of the facts is the
democratic process under which we
operate. l think we try to avoid
democracy, really, and instead of
marching to the arena of ideas in
full battle regalia proud of whatever
banner we have chosen as our own,
we fawn and simper and apologize.
We quibble, and allow ourselves to
be drawn onto the side roads by irrele-
want considerations. And we cover up
our own insufficiencies by being cyni-
cal.
Before January 9TH I am remind
ing myself that the democratic pro-
cesses are good, and if the battle is
sincerely, diligently and fairly fought
that is the first ingredient. If with
those ground rules we do not win we
should not find it necessary to de-
grade the process.

cesses it has rarely been popular to

In reality the legislature-good or
or eXtravagant-is a
lear reflection of our attention to

It would be wonderful to see a
ession that would fight the issues
N the basis of principle and beliefs,
instead of trying to plow under the
rux of every problem so everyone
would continue to remain confused

Citizens Urged To
Join League Of
Women Voters

Women all over the city are be-
ing urged to join the Minneapolis
League of Women Voters in order
to become better informed voters.
The League is attempting this
month to reach new women who
would be interested in knowing
more about government. The men,
bership committee consists of Mrs.
Albert Richter. 5O3S Gladstone;
Mrs. Richard Siegel, 2725 Ewing
Av. S. and Mrs. Lorenzo Will
liams, 400 Portland Av.
Because women so often have
the mistaken notion that you have
to receive a personal invitation to
get into the League, or that the
League is only for women who
already know lot about govern
ment, we have a hard job recruit
ing new members for our organ
ization." stated Mrs. Richter, men,
bership chairman.
Actually all you have to do to
find out about joining is to call
the office FE. 3-6319, or one of
the members of the committee. We
want women to know the League
was begun especially for women
who knew little about government,
but who did want to find out more
about it in order to vote intelli-
gently" further stated Mrs. Rich
ter.
The Minneapolis League Of
Women Voters is divided into 46
discussion units which meet once
or twice a month in the afternoons
or evenings. Each month a differ
ent Subject on government is dis
cussed and during the year each
level of government-city, state
and national, is studied in refer
ence to a particular problem it is
facing.
If women are interested in visit
ing a discussion unit, or in simply
getting more information about
the League, they are urged to call
the office, or visit one Of the dis
cussion units before joining.
