The Business Of Relief erican industry. In the five years during which aid for the needy has been largely supported by the Federal Government and, since, the Fall of 1935, almost entirely administered by it, the number of households and persons receiving benefits is practically the same as when the Federal Government first entered the relief picture. As of March 1933, there were 5,463,000 households and 21,479,000 persons in receipt of relief. In March 1938, there were 6,544,000 households and 20,112,000 persons receiving relief benefits. This has been the ‘net result of an expenditure in the last five years of over 16 billion dollars for relief alone, which has produced a deficit of over 17 billion dollars and which has Here are a few salient facts which may serve to illuminate the relief picture. Before the 1929-32 depression, relief was regarded primarily as a matter of state and local concern-and the Federal Government contributed only in the case of emergencies caused by floods, fires, earthquakes, etc. The first New Deal contributions to relief were in the The business of relief is rapidly becoming the major Am, F chnmbassiliok of Rhythm’ . ‘ . . . . . . .

Mr. and Mrs. Erik ‘Childs returned form of grants-in-aid to states through the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, the states being left to administer the type of relief (direct or work relief) best suited to their needs. Under this system the cost of relief per case, though it steadily rose, was about $30 per case or about $400 per year. In the spring of 1935, the Federal Government took over most of the support and all of the administration of relief for people able to work and inaugurated a work relief system under the Works Progress Administration which replaced the This system is the most expensive in the world, costing . the taxpayer $82 per case per month or $984 a case per year. . ‘However, of this sum the reliefer gets only about $600, or 61 cents out of each relief dollar.

Even the guests in the clerks and so on, costing nearly $100,000,000 a year. Under it between 2 and 3 million persons have been supported since . the of Fall of 1935. (Your Social Security money has gone to} help pay for this.) There are a number of other Federal relief agencies besides WPA. Notable among these is the Civilian Conservation Corps which provides work relief for over 300,000 young men at an average cost to the taxpayer of over $1,200 per year per man and at a total cost to date of over 2 billion dollars. Others are the National Youth Administration which provides student aid and work relief to those of school and college age which to date has cost-nearly $150,000,000 and the Farm.Security Administration which makes loans and grants to indigent farmers amounting so far to more than $500,000,000. It was the Farm Security Administration which under _its former name—the Resettlement Administration—built the costly ‘“Greenbelt’’ communities. A regrettable but inevitable consequence of the manner in which the Federal relief: system has been administered has been the intrusion of politics into relief. It has been inevitable, first, because the entire administrative personnel of WPA and other organzations have been selected on the basis of politics instead of merit; second, because huge lump sums for relief have been handed over to the President to be spent at his discretion; and third, the allotment of relief funds to states is not conditioned on any corresponding relief contribution by the states. In_ short, the President can spend as much or as little money in any state at any time as he pleases. The result has been padded relief rolls in election years irrespective of the state of business, and the allotment of relief funds on the basis of politics instead of need. How this allotment influences votes is proved by the fact that the nine cities in which relief payments were the highest gave Mr. Roosevelt in 1936 a majority sufficient to control 223 electoral votes out of 267 necessary for his election. More recently the WPA Administrator openly endorsed one of several Democratic candidates in a state primary and his action was approved by the President, and the Director of vote to keep their friends in power. The Republicons, who believe in returning relief to the states to be administered through bi-partisan boards, have attempted to secure legislation outlawing political activities on the part of those administering relief.
