MORMONS MRP RELIEF SYSTEM FOR OWN NEEDY Program of Co-operative Activity Is Studied by U. S. Officials. BV ROBI RT S. BROWN Tim. Mi'flil W'rllff WASHINGTON, May 27—The decision of the Mormon Church to Is&ume the relief burden within its own riember'jhip provoked increasing t'Tterest among officials here today as ful) details of the church's plan became known. Co-operative farming and manufacturing. community warehouses, sharing of available work and "tithing in kind" form the backoone of the Mormon movement to relieve the government of relief. Up to 1930, the Mormon Church fiad cared for its own. Income from "fast days”—the first Sunday in each month, on which only one meal is eaten, the remaining two being given in cash or kind to the church - had been sufficient to meet relief needs. But the load increased so rapidly that, it became impossible to continue without state or P’ederal aid High officers of the church were reluctant, to take public money for their charges and began immediately to plan a program which would make the church membership again self-sustaining. It was launched last month by thp "first presidency” of the church, the high ruling office. Co-operative Agreements Already hundreds of acres of fertile soil have been pledged for production purposes. In most cases this land will be planted to sugar beets, with relief labor tending and harvesting the crops. Co-operative agreements with sugar refineries in Utah and Idaho have been reached, and the profits of the crop will be distributed in cash or kind to the needy. In other areas tomatoes, peas, beans and other edibles will be raised. Here again co-operative agreements with local canneries will assure a full return to the people who produce the crops. Regions have been designated, and each region will have a, community warehouse, to be stocked with clothing, food and fupl sufficient to supply the area’s needy. The warehouses also will be clearing houses for labor. Representatives of the general church relief committee will be in charge. Services to Be Traded In connection with the warehouses will be various types of cooperatives in which relief workers can trade their services for food or clothing. Some sections are expected to establish small manufacturing planks, where raw materials will be transformed into consumer goods. Still another source of supply to the common warehouses will be the restoration of "tithing in kind,” an age-old custom of the Mormon Church. Once again members can give their tithe in meat, grain, hav or eggs. Church members whose cash incomes permit will continue to pay their tithes in money, to supply those things impossible to produce or manufacture, and to provide capital for co-operative enterprises. Hopes to Care for 75,000 By Oct. 1, First President Heber .1. Grant hopes to have the warehouses filled with enough to carry 75,000 or- more needy Mormons t hrough the winter. “The Lord has given us within our church, the government, organization and leadership to accomplish this great purpose and if we fail we stand condemned,” President Grant has said. The world Is losing that genius of helping others in banding together in a co-operative spirit to overcome serious obstacles and lighten burdens,” he said. TRIAL OF WILLIAMS.
