Hobbs, former Chief Deputy Director of of California, says in an important new book (The Welfare Industry, published by The Heritage Foundation, Washington, D.C.) that the national welfare industry is now comprised of 5 million public and private workers distributing payments and services to 50 million For each of the 44 welfare programs idenbeneficiaries. tified and catalogued in the welfare system, Hobbs charts the history, eligibility requirements, benefits received, program overlap, and cost increase between 1971 and 1976. Total cost of these programs in 1976 was $187 billion, 1977 expenditures are projected at $210 billion and for 1979, approximately $250 billion. Hobbs identifies four welfare industry goals. The first is to increase welfare expenditures at a faster rate than national economic growth. This goal has already been reached; the welfare industry grew at the rate of 25.11 percent a year between 1971 and 1976, "2.5 times the GNP growth rate and 3 times the growth of wages for the same period. The second of the industrys goals is to centralize control and administration of welfare programs at the federal level. This goal is quickly being reached as All but 2 of the 44 (programs) are federal programs and federal expendiAnd, fedtures constitute 80 percent of total expenditures. eral control is almost totally centered in the Departments of Agriculture, Labor, HEW, and HUD. Thirdly, there is a drive in the welfare industry for greater and greater complexity in the welfare system. This comCompounding of beplexity results in program overlap. Hobbs says, is the nefits through overlapping programs, major cause of the high welfare cost growth rate. Many welfare families are better off financially, by their participation in several programs, than are the families of workers whose taxes pay for the welfare. This causes a disincentive to work and increased dependency on the welfare sysSocial Welfare The First Presidency of the church and other General authorities will participate in the dedicatory rites which are scheduled for June 13 15. according to -- Worship with your family this week President Spencer W. The Kimball. Hawaii Temple, completed and dedicated in 1919 by the late Church President Heber J. Grant, has been closed for the past two years for extensive remodeling and expansion. Elder Max Moddy, Hawaii temple president, said the and expansion interior remodeling was necessary to handle an increased amount of genealogy and temple work being carried out in the Hawaiian Island are there where 30,000 Mormon church members. He said the work has also brought the structure up to current building standards, and will greatly increase the of its operation. Size of the building has been increased from 21,000 square feet to 41,000 square feet, said Elder Moody. This was accomplished without changing the architectural design of the original he however, building, pointed out.

Mrs. Adams, guest has served as organist, president of the Utah Music Teachers Association and as Utah chairman of the Guild .American of Organists. tem. The fourth welfare industry goal is to increase continually the number of employees in the industry itself. This is revealed in the enactment of new programs rather than the older style cash programs. Notwithstanding the lack of any real studies, approximately social services, $2.5 billion annually is spent in and the call continues to go out to raise the ceiling. All this is despite the fact that one of the central aims of the 1962 to alleviate deAmendments to the Social Security Act the rolls has never been welfare reduce and pendency proven to work in the fashion claimed. Reform of the welfare system must be aimed at the welfare industry as a whole, Hobbs contends. He suggests that 1) the number of welfare workers be reduced, 2) the system be simplified, 3) control of the system be decentralized, and 4) expenditure growth reduced. Only then can welfare again be focused on its true purpose: to help those who cannot help themselves. Hobbs is clearly on the right track. One should, however, be wary of the siren call of simplification and emphasis on cash programs; President Carter uses these aims to attempt to secure support for a proposal which can only open new' loopholes and escalate costs dramatically. Similarly, while the number of welfare workers can and should be reduced, it should not be through the substitution of a massive, mechanized system that has the poor quality control record of the federalized SSI (Supplemental Security Income) program. Hobbs is not suggesting this but others might. well-mea- HJi HANSEN GLASS the COMPANY Commercial Auto INSULATED coec J. Residential STORM DOORS GLASS . - INSTALLATION 563 COREY STAHLE 6SHMAIOK BUS.
