‘ALFALFA BILL’ SEES VICTORY IN JOfiCRISIS Confident Concerted Drive by States Can Rout Unemployment. BY GEORGE B. ROSCOE United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright. 1931. by United Press) OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 27. The American people will win their present fight against the business depression and unemployment, Governor William H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray predicted today. Reclining in his easy chair, his feet on a desk stacked high with letters, the picturesque Oklahoma Governor expressed complete faith in the masses to solve the troublesome problems. 4 The concerted move of the states to eliminate unemployment is bound to succeed, he said in his first comment on business conditions since he returned from his Memphis relief conference, fatigued but ready to carry on his fight for dollar oil. “The Memphis conference was highly successful, but was intended only to crystalize sentiment so that a second conference might bear real fruit,” he said, puffing leisurely at his cigar, while ashes dropped unnoticed over his white cotton suit. Crisis in February “The greatest unemployment ills will’come about February, and they will be serious. But even if present plans fail, there will be no breakdown until after election, if there is then. “We live on hope,” he continued, leaning back in his chair and almost closing his eyes. He paused and scratched his bushy gray head, a characteristic action when “The Sage of Tishomingo” is expressing his homely philosophy. His speech was slow and his gestures unhurried, in contrast to the excited, rapid talk and gestures when he is “raising hell” with oil companies, power trusts, toll bridge owners, federal courts or other

groups who frequently provoke his wrath. “He who eats must work,” he went on. “Labor hurts no one. An idle brain is the devil’s workshop and we already have too many devils and not enough workshops. "The dole system is unwise. Every person who can work should be privileged to find employment, for charity to an honorable person is offensive. The government has some funds that can be used for providing work simply by cutting a few red strings.”
