COUNTY TREASURERS PICK NEW OFFICERS Resolution Opposes 8 Per Cent Interest Charge on Delinquent Taxes. Earl Lcv'e, Grant County Treasurer, today was president of a new’ organization of county treasurers, elected in a meeting at the Claypool. Carlas Hite, Greensburg, was named vice president; David Wheeldon, Hartford City, secretary. A program adopted by the treasurers expressed opposition to the present 3 per cent interest charge on delinquent taxes and to any additional burden on the taxpayer. In line w’ith the latter, the treasurers agreed not to go before the impending General Assembly with requests for salary increases.

JOB RELIEF TO CONTINUE; DOLE TRIAL OPPOSED Made Work Effort to Go on Until Business Revives. Takes Up Slack. Thi* is the fourth of a vrie of dispatches on the Congressional program. Bv LYLE C. WII.SOX fnilcd PrfH Stall {Vrrupnndfnt WASHINGTON. Dec. 21—New Deal unemployment relief cast more than $1,000,000,000 in the first 11 months of 1934. The exact figure was $1,245,309 - 551. Since Harry L. Hopkins became relief administrator on Mav 23. 1933, he has spent $1,569,728,039 to aid the destitute. President Roasevelt and Congress must decide this winter how the relief problem shall be handled. Donald R. Richborg, chief New Deal co-ordinator, reported to Mr. Roosevelt last summer that relief needs would reach a February peak of upwards of 20.000.000 men, women and children. The highest estimate of the February relief load is 23,000,000 persons. Relief is Problem The Administration finds one of the more difficult of recovery problems in relief. Banks, big business and the more conservative of Republican and Democratic statesmen are alarmed by relief expenditures. Banks and big business have aban- ; doned their Hoover Administration ! position that no Federal funds I should be spent for human relief. Former President Hoover was the j champion of the so-called anti-dole groups. Powerful business interests | now are exerting all their influence I in favor of a dole and against the | aid system known as work relief. Under a dole system the jobless | and their dependents are supplied | with goods and some cash to maini tain life. Work relief creates jobs upon which the unemployed are put to work in return for which they receive wages. Made Work Expensive Work relief is considerably more expensive than a dole. Mr. Roosevelt is expected to recommend to Congress this winter a large scale of work relief program. Congress will support the Administration plan. Bib business and banks will be defeated in their effort to substitute a dole for the work relief system unless there is some fundamental change in the situation between now and midwinter. Mr. Roosevelt's only concession to the plea for reduced relief expenditures was a statement in October that Federal expenditures could be curtailed as business revival provided increased employment. Hopkins, PWA Administrator Harold L. Ickes, Richberg and the other close-to-the-throne New' Dealers are unanimously in favor of work relief as opposed to the dole system. Two Questions Unsettled Urd.r those circumstances the only questions relating to administration relief policies are: 1. How much money will be spent in 1935? 2. In what form will work be created? The overflow' of unemployed after all available federally made jobs have been filled may be turned back to states and municipalities. The rise from 60 per cent to 75 per cent in the proportion of Federal to state contributions for relief disturbs New Dealers. They are having some success in compelling lagging states to meet more of their own burden. Work relief on the scale contemplated could embrace federally sponsored housing construction, development of natural resources, elimira- ! tion of grade crossings, transco ij tinental road building and similar ! projects.
