The Poor Relief program in Indiana is more than a century old. In the days when our country was largely rural, the Township Trustee served as the agent of the poor. He also performed such functions as assessing and administrator of public schools. With increased population and urbanization, local governments expanded and large agencies were needed to handle what the Township Trustee of yesteryear could handle alone. Today the administration of public education is no longer left to the Township Trustee. It is handled by a larger, more professional and efficient unit of local government. We believe the same should be the case in the handling of Poor Relief in Indiana. All welfare in Indiana except Poor Relief is handled through the Department of Public Welfare. There are 92 departments of public welfare. In addition there are 1009 township trustees to handle Poor Relief. At a time when everyone is aware erf property taxes it would seem
Five Killed In Indiana Traffic By United Brass International Five persons were killed In Tndiana traffic In one of the safest weekends in recent months. The toll for the year stood today at 20, compared with 84 a year ago. Dorothy West, 80, Indianapolis, was struck and killed Sunday by a car on a capital city street. The driver, John Ewell, 41, Indianapolis, was arrested en a preliminary charge of involuntary manslaughter. Frank Salisbury, 25, South Bend, was killed Sunday in a two-car collision on Indiana 331 south of Mishawaka. Two other persons were injured, neither seriously. Jerry Neukam, 20, Loogootee, was killed Sunday when a car in which he was riding went out of control and crashed on U.S. 231 south of Loogootee in Martin County. Francis Worland, 25, R.R. 5, Vincennes, died Saturday of injuries suffered Friday night in a car-train collision. Lora F. Johnson, 48, R.R. 2, Dana, was killed Saturday afternoon when his car overturned on a Fountain County road southeast of Perrysville. The wreckage was not discovered until Sunday night.
Ladies at a recent neighborhood rummage sale in London never had it so good. A deliveryman mixed up his addresses and brought to the sale an order of new dresses valued at $53 each and intended for a nearby shop. Before the mistake was discovered several of the dresses had been snapped up for $11 each.
there are compelling and economically sound reasons for putting Poor Relief under the Department of Public Welfare. (1) It would eliminate administrative duplication. There would be 1009 less administrative units—which in turn could save the taxpayer. In some cases the cost of administering Poor Relief is greater than the amount of relief given. (2) A county-wide tax program is more equitable than one on a township basis. Large and rich townships may have a lower Poor Relief tax than township with less wealth but greater relief burdens. (3) One welfare agency would permit the utilization of a skilled staff large enough to develop retraining and rehabilitation programs. Also, the address is well known and has standard office hours. (4) Provide a better accounting to the taxpaying public by placing all welfare programs and their cost in a single agen-
