M ANY KEEP RECORDS GIVE RESPITE ON TAX NEED 25 RANGE AY ELLS TOLL CIIARGE FOUGHT Washington. As the federal relief administration looks forward to the winter Relief Cost months when the relief burden obviously Is heaviest, Harry L. Hopkins, federal relief administrator, makes public figures showing that the average cost of maintaining a family of four on public relief now is $23.09 a month. He says this figure varies materially from section to section, that It Is materially higher In the Industrial centers of the South where relief roils are largest and that, probabv, the country may expect a higher average cost during the forthcoming winter. The statement by Mr. Ilopklns becomes exceedingly significant. In the opinion of observers here, especially with reference to the likelihood that there will be an Increase In cost this winter. It reflects two things. First, the administrations drive to bring about increased prices through crop limitation or crop destruction or any of the several methods employed not only Is adding to the burden of those with limited buying power but It is compelling Uncle Sara end the states and counties and charitable organizations everywhere to pay an added price to keep peoSecondly, the ple from starving. Hopkins statement gives more than an Intimation of how many additions to the relief rolls there may be as a result of refusal of some people to accept any kind of jobs. It has been known many months that relief rolls carry a certain percentage of individuals who amount to the same thing as parasites, but the mounting cost both In the average and In the total figures are being examined by many experts with the thought In mind that considerable waste Is In prospect. The relief administration has been attempting to make surveys of relief rolls In many Jurisdictions. The results In some of the cases have been quite disturbing to those in the government who are wholly desirous of lending help wherever help Is necessary, but who obviously are unwilling to see government funds drained off to care for Individuals who are refusing to help themselves. How far this condition Is going, none can foretell; nor can anyone at this time say accurately how extensive has become the list of those who regard relief rolls as their rightful meal ticket. Some of the political leaders have become alarmed because, having knowledge of the dole system In England and In some of the other European countries, they know how hard It Is to sepnrate Individuals from relief after those Individuals have lost the pride and morale which causes people to support themselves. Hearings before congressional committees Inst winter disclosed In numerous cities how some people had declined to do the odd Jobs created under the "make work campaigns for the unemployed and had preferred to make their trips to the relief stores, semi-weekl- I have heard several members of congress express the opinion that this phase of the Difficult relief problem Is rea!y the moat Problem difficult of the whole structure. They want to see the government spend all the money that Is necessary to keep people from starving but they are beginning to demand that some way be found by which the sheep may be separated from the goats and properly fed. Here In Washington a taste of the condition mentioned above has been exposed as the result of com plaints by a taxpayers organization.- The taxpayers group declared thnt Its Investigators had found many unemployed appearing at relief headquarters driving tlielr own automobiles, they thought It was paradoxical that a man could afford to maintain his automobile and could not maintain his family. Relief authorities In the local offices denied these charges. The relief experts said some of the destitute wore being transported to relief headquarters in the cars of friends, but despite the denials thorp seemed to have been some fire In all of the smoke. Whatever the facts In the National Capital situation may have boon, the condition itself nevertheless is attracting attention for the reason that some of the Individuals who usually do more talking than anything else have risen to the defence of thre-- who called for their doles In tlielr motor ears. The upshot of this and of the veiled charges of waste and sometimes graft In other cities Is thnt this government Is approaching point where It must become more or less hnrdboiled in Its relief administration. If It does not, nearly ail of the observers agree, the Unit cd Slates will have a relief roll of six or eight million wtih-will continue to serve ns a drain upon the treasuries, both national and In cal, for a good many years to come Fomo of the authorities are growing fearful, too, of what may hap d pen should the parasitic element be separated from Its meal ticket. With winter coming on radicals can make a fine case out of a refusal by relief managers to feed this or that I have even starving family. heard suggestions that the coming winter may see some riots of a character more severe than anything we But If they do have yet known. come It seems to he agreed they will not be due entirely to lack of food but to agitation on the part of some of those who have desires only to wreck our present structure t, p ' , ,N 1 of government s ' With the return of the winter session of the Supreme Court of the United States, New Deal Up New Dealers as to High Court weU asold dealers may have some ground for belief that questions respecting their acts In the last year soon will be answered. In this country, we have always looked to the courts as the last resort to tell us when our legislative bodies as well os executive officers of our governments, state or national, have gone beyond bounds. All through the summer there has been the mounting demand for Judicial construction of New Deal acts. It appears we are about to get them In cumbers from the highest court In the land. There are sufficient petitions before the Supreme court to provide a rather accurate delimitation of the New Deal scope In Its constitutional aspects. Expert legal opinion here seems to lean toward substantiation of most of the New Deal activities by the high court. But at the same time some of the best legal minds in the country are maintaining that while part of the New Deal props look good, they are outside of what has hitherto been regarded as constitutional acts on the part of government and so the consensus is that there will be many decisions forthcoming from the Supreme court before It lays aside Its robes this spring. As the Supreme court now is constituted, I think It is generally regarded as leaning to the conservaWhile the court Is not tive side. supposed to be Influenced by economic phases, the economy of the New Deal Is so entwined with law that many astute observers tell me there can be no segregation of those two elements when it comes to ruling on constitutional phases of the New Deal. The best available figures show that the government has Instituted about 141) eases charging violation of NltA codes. It has won about 37 of these, and has lost about 15 of those coming to a decision. Private litigants have brought action against the NBA In 39 cases and the government has won 20 of these. Similarly, there have been something like 20 cases In the courts Involving Agricultural Adjustment administration rules and regulations. Of those that have gone through to a decision the government has won seven and lost three. e. ' s v8 ft' 4. This photograph of the Morro Castle, still in flames, was taken as the and Asbury Tark, N.
