1930 WAS HIGH YEAR FOR POOR AID IN INDIANA

1*2,506,456 Spent in State by Township Trustees, Report Shows. Township trustees spent $2,506,456.13 for poor relief in Indiana in 1930, the amount a-d number administered to being highest in history,” according to a tabulation made today by John A. Brown, secretary of the state board of charities. The year 1931 bids fair even to exceed this amount and the number needing relief. In 1930, there were 51,058 families aided, representing 225,039 persons, -ui average of 4.4 per family. In addition, aid was given to 10,849 Individuals without families, making a total of 61,907 relief cases, representing 235,888 persons. Poor Farm Not Included No administrative expense is included in the more than two and one-half million spent. Cases all are non-institutional and expenditures for poor farms are not included. Compared w'ith 1929, the 1930 amount was an increase of $1,060,689 16 in aid and 98,126 in number of persons aided. Browm pointed out that aid increased 73.3 per cent and persons 71.2 per cent, indicating that the average amount of aid per person was practically the same in both t years. I Os the 1,016 townships, forty-one gave no relief in 1930. In 146 town--1 ships, total amount was less than SIOO for each township. In 567, it was from SIOO to SI,OOO, in 201 from SI,OOO to $5,000, in forty-four from $5,000 to $20,000, and seventeen from $20,000 up. These seventeen townships, with a population of 1,169,828, a little morq , than one-third that of the entire ; state, report aid amounting to sl,- j 484,352.45. which is 59 per cent of all the relief. Conditions Different “The amount of relief required in a given township can not be determined solely by the population,” IJyown explained. “Local conditions must be considered. A farming community, even when crops fail, 1? not as likely to need help as an industrial community of the same population, if industries close down. “In townships of the same population, one will have well-organized private agencies which do a large part of the relief work, another depends entirely on the township trustee. f !“This accounts largely for the fact that Center township, Marion county, having access to hospital and clinic facilities and the resources of several family welfare societies, gives less aid than another township wdth less than half its population.” Townships spending more than SIOO,OOO for relief in 1930 were North township. Lake county, $283,023.85; Center, Marion, $243,343.25; Calumet, Lake, $229,817, and Pigeon, Evansville, $104,041.61. 'WATSON TO EXPOSITION. Consents to Join Group in Presentin Talk on Industry.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

FARMERS, STOCK SHIPPERS FIGHT RAIL RATE HIKE Threaten Traffic Diversion to Water If Boosts Are Allowed. Bp United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 5.—A decision on the petition of the country’s railroad executives for a 15 per cent horizontal increase in freight rates probably will be handed down by the interstate commerce commission in Washington next month, it appeared today as the last of the commission’s hearings drew to a close. It was expected today's session would complete the series of eleven hearings held throughout the country. The commissioners planned to adjourn to Washington, where final arguments on the petition will be held Sept. 21. The decision is considered momentous in economic history as the railroad request for aid in time of depression is unprecedented. Farmers and live stock men, who claimed their business is in serious straits, furnished the chief opposition to the increased rates. Their representatives planned to sum up their testimony today. Among witnesses Friday were fanners, miners, canners and retail dealers. Virtually all of the nation's agricultural states were represented. Earl C. Smith, president of the Illinois Agricultural Association, told the commission the proposed increases would cost grain and livestock growers of Illinois approximately $3,000,000 more annually. John F. Finerty, Washington, D. C., representing the metal industry, warned that the increases would cause diversion of freight to watet routes and the carriers would lose their expected additional revenue. C. P. Hoy, St. Louis, representing Illinois coal operators, said the railroads would lose 500,000 tons of coal shipments to trucks if the rates were increased. Indiana and Kentucky coal operators also protested the proposed increases. The canning industry is in no condition to meet the additional burden, Mark C. Hutchinson, Fenville, Mich., president of the National Canners’ Association, said. A further diversion to water traffic would result if the increases were made effective, he warned.
