A further study of the Russell Sage Foundation’s new
book on American welfare and social foundations reveals
some rather startling figures as to their size and scope. All
told, it is estimated that foundations such as the Garneige
Corporation of New York, the Rockefeller Foundation, thé
Ford Foundation, etc. have total assets of only about one billion dollars, 800 million dollars with income in the neighborhood of 71 million dollars.
As stated by the Russell Sage Foundation:
*‘In the perspective of American expenditures for war,
amounting to 912 billion dollars during 1944, the relative
smallness of foundation resources is even more apparent. If
the total capital of all foundations had been requisitioned, they
would have kept the United States war effort going less than
eight days. If the total expenditures of all foundations for 1944
had been contributed to war purposes, they wiuld have sustained our war effort only six hours and fifty six minutes.”
We publish these excerpts simply as an illustration of the
fact that large aggregates of wealth created by private indiv
iduals are not a major influence on our economy as is com:
monly supposed. Rather, they are comparatively unimportant
when they are considered in relation to our national expenditures. Furthermore the above figures serve to illustrate that
the success or failure of our economy rests with not a few individuals but with all individuals who have a chance to contol by vote the national expenditures and by personal choice
their own expenditures.—Contributed.
EASY FOR THE LAZY
The charge voiced by the California Manufacturers Association that “‘inefficiency and abuses’’ in the U. S. Employment Service in California are resulting in an easy dole for
lazy thousands” is cause for serious thought. Declaring that
“USES inefficiency has contributed to unemployment, and in
effect has encouraged it,” Alvin E. Hewitt executive vice
president, adds the accusation that unemployment compensation “‘is being paid to thousands upon thousands beyond those
for whom it is intended and who properly deserve it, with the
result that the taxpayers are unnecessarily overburdened.”
With 140,000 persons in California now drawing weekly paychecks from the State Unemployment Insurance Fund,
this is not a matter to be taken lightly by the man with a busi-'
ness, a farm, or a job. For whatever the errors of the USES

as a federal agency, the funds wasted are state funds—taken
in taxes from the incomes of California families.
Many civic leaders throughout California and many organizations, including the state chamber of commerce, have
urged as a solution to USES “‘inefficiency and abuses” that the
purely state function of this office—which was taken over by
the federal government on the sole basis of expediting manpower distribution during the war crisis—be returned to the
states. Unemployment problems and _ solutions differ widely
from state to state and‘from district to district within each
state. It is as illogical to expect efficiency in local employment
offices headed up in Washington, D. C.-as it would be to expect efficiency ina city or village fire department operated by
remote control from Washington.
If this complaint of the manufacturers speeds action toward return of all USES offices to control of the respective
states it will have served a commendable purpose for all the
veople and taxpayers of the nation. And particulrly for populous, industrially booming California, where the incentive to
work not the incentive to loaf, is the need of the times.—Contributed.
THE FARMER’S WATER BILL
One of the most respected fact finding organizations in
the world is the famed Commonwealth Club of California. Of
state wide scope, it provides an impartial forum on important public matters.
Ending an exhaustive, two year study of the Central
Valley Project, the club’s public utilities section has determined that the private handling of CVP power is actually
more profitable to the government than would be the Bureau
of Reclamation 's proposed plan to build parallel transmission
facilities and go into the power business. “Sale to the P. G.
and E. near Shasta Dam” the report reads, “should yield $2,000,000 a year more in excess of revenues over costs, than
can be secured from transmission of the power through Northern California and sale to a number of customers at an average rate of 5 mills.” Then comes a studied statement on a
matter of even greater importance to California.
“It is also true that the 5-mill rate (the wholesale rate
average established by the Bureau of Reclamation for its proposed power distribution) fails to return to the project that
portion of the joint costs that are properly assigned to power.”’
There the finger is put on the situation so critical to Central
Valley agriculture! Income from water sales would have to
make up the deficit of the government's power business.
should government be permitted to plunge on into a power
business it plainly cannot operate economically — that’ the
long-awaited water would finally reach Central Valley irrigation-ditches at a cost farmers could not afford to pay.
It would be a sad commentary on governmental folly if
California’s great reclamation venture, the very lifeblood of
which is cheap water, should end as an object lesson in extravagance—wrfitten in a sheaf of unpayable water bills for
ruined farmers.—Contributed.
