Department or if they receive too much pay, it is a matter over which the Judge of the Circuit Court has no control. Walter F. Wood

Why We're Democratic-Ill i' .As a general rule there's one big, overwhelming reason why people support any given political party or candidate. Z That's because they think they'll be "better off" under arr administration of the party or candidate of their choice. And since most people are what the political scientists call "economic determinists", that usually means that they will support the party or man under whose regime they'll have more money in the pocket or in the bank. - The economic well-being of any individual depends on irrqre than just how much money is in his weekly pay envelope. Cash income has to- be measured against cash outgo. Itrdoesri't take an expert to realize that a wage of $1 an hour is-one thing when beefsteak is 30 cents a pound, and milk 12 cejits a quart and something entirely different when beef is IK cents and milk 23 cents. Z Back in Grandpa's day when $6-$8 would feed a family of five for a week, when shoes were $2 and a good wool suit $Ip, cash incomes were considerably smaller than they are new. But "real"- earnings the comforts and necessities that aveek's work could provide were often a lot higher. And Grandpa kept an eagle eye on the prospects of his real earning capacity when he cast his Tote just as his grandchildren d$ today. ' " , Maybe that seems a pretty selfish reason. But, after all, governments are instituted by men for their own benefit, and itCwculd be somewhat more than peculiar person who would vrte for a government which he knew well would act to his detriment. . .. - ( ' And since there are so many human desires, and people s ideas of what will most benefit them are so varied and manifold, the selfish wishes of one person or one group are pretty welfbalanced by the wants of other groups. Ultimately, if the people are informed and aware of just what they're seeking arfd how much faith can be placed in the promises of candidates or parties, the result is usually sound. . - So let's take a lock at what may reasonably be expected f rem the Democratic and Republican parties in that most essential of all human needs in this day and age money in the packet after the bills are paid. - It's common knowledge, cf course. - that everyone Ivis mere money today than ever before in history. That goes for

'farm workers, farm owners, clerks, mechanics, miners, bookkeepers, builders, executives everyone. - But the cost of living also is towering at near-record bSghts. So there's a widespread belief that "veil earnings", that is, pay measured against living costs, are far lewer today tftan the- were back in, say, 1929,the last hi' Republican prosperity.' year. ' Z. The following table, presented in The Journal of the American Statistical Association, tells the true story:

Real Earnings (1910-14 (1910-14 Dollars) . $636 597 , 644 647 ' 649 678 fi82 781 640 721 1.066 1,261

Note esneciallv the 1925-29 fi srnrp. as cir-mamr! -with

lF'45-46. In that Republican prosperity era, real earnings c?rsh income measured agninst cost of living were only 62 pfcr cent-cf 'the 1945-46 figures. : Take -a bck -als-v ft the f?ct that f-cm 1920 to 1924 re-?! earnings were only $46 a year more than they were from 1S90 to 1894. Trdav rhe're -virtually double tMt figure. It's no accident tint this has happened. Tt stems 'dectJyfrm a fund-mental difference in the philosophies of the Republican and Democratic parties. The Republican .party has always 1-Hd tc the t.hearv that iXprcf ts and dividends were held at high levels, th'-ough tax laws favoring ownership and labor laws "keeping the workers in their -plfce", then tf-e. fortunes amassed at th ton somehow would percolate down to the bulk of the people at the bottom. , . r. The 'figures show how that has worked. , The Democrats, on the nthe- hand, have contended thnt if the muss of the peonle had sufficient incomes, there would l.rp created a huge market wh;ch would provide plenty of profit frr management and ownership Z The Democrats Inve operated on the theory that ever yone would be better rff if business 'fisrurH ce lore v'fre i bi'tfmsts a;sm?r!l net-centre of wofit, while the R,epur IwaTiR hf ve clung to the iden that a b;g percentage cf profit "p-s ('cph-fb1e. rpo-p'dless of the vrlume. - .A -oi the fitnirn shew how much better the Democwti" thrv h-is worked.- , Z The Peiwhl'cms b""e always believed in bigness ;n Iwsiress. in 'cartels and tTsts which wr.oM prevent rival Tppniifacttirers from "cutting each other's threats" lrv onm.

JUDGE WOOD EXPLAINS I WELFARE Seme people s,eem to have the erroneous idea that the Judge of the -Circuit Court has much to do with the running and operation of the County Department of Public Welfare. This is a mistake which I desire to explain: The Federal government furnishes fifty per. cent cf the money paid to the old folks, the State of Indiana thirty per eenj., and the County twenty per cent. The county's twenty per cent is raised by taxation on a rate fixed by the County Council. The State Department of Public Welfare, under federal, requirements, fixes the number of welfare workers fcr each County Department. The State Welfare Department also fixes the minimum wage which may be paid to the Director, visitors and investigators of each County Department. The local County Board has rothing to dc with the number of welfare workers. The wages paid to the Sullivan County Director, vi?itcrs and investigators, etc., is the smallest amount permissible

De-and

he number of workers in the Sullivan Ccunty Department is t'-c number rcquirad by said State Department. If the County Department of Public Yelfare should refuse to f.ubmi to the rules and regulations of the State Department and the Federal requirements, then the State and Federal aid would be discontinued to such county. The Judge of the Circuit Court appcints a Welfare Board of five persons, which Board receives no pay. This Board appointed by the Judge appoints a Director, visitors and investigators from an eligible list submitted by the

i State Department of Public Welfare aiid they can appoint no ! person who is not on such eligible I list. This Board fixes the salary I of the Director, investigators and i visitors at a sum not less than the minimum nor more than the maximum fixed by the State De--lar'ment of Public Welfare.

Honorable Gerald landis Member House of Representatives Iinton, Indiana Dear Congressman: I am writing you this letter, to let you know that I am very hopeful that the voters of your district will reelect you to Congress in November. Ihe nation needs informed men of courage and conviction like you in both the House and the Senate. Although our states are widely separated, I have watched your public activities with keen interest. Your firsthand knowledge of mining affairs and your particular concern in proper pensions for miners and old persons generally hav commanded high respect and been helpful to me in reaching decisions in Washington. I am sure that you have tried always to act. for the best interests of all your people, including miners, farmers, business men and all taxpayers . That is what every member of Congress should try to do. We are elected to repre6nt all of the people. . As Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. have noted y0ur vtes to meet war costs. Once we were in the war,. you supported every major appropriation asked to support it. 4 You may. use this letter in any way you see fit. I am writing it voluntarily because I know you are able, honest, and ' experienced and too few men like you who know their jobs are available for public service. It is a great mistake in a crisis like the present one to replace seasoned Republican Congressmen with men who know nothing about Congressional work.
