2 STATE TAG PLANT MAKES 35 PLATES New Industry Developing Fast; Did $25,000 Business During Past Year North Dakota's state tag plant has eveloped into a $25,000 per year busi- neess, with prospects of becoming a greater industry as demands grow from municipalities throughout the state, Warden Dell Patterson, head of the penitentiary, said Wednesday. Under direction of George L. Baska, superintendent, 25 prisoners in the plant daily turn out hundreds of au- tomobile license tags, road signs and highway maintenance workers warn- ing tags. ‘The new 1935 license plate, on which the inmate-workmen are laboring now will be of royal blue, with raised, stamped letters of orange yellow. Approximately 160,000 license plates will be made by the plant this year. Not quite a year old, the plant has installed new cquipment which will enable it to turn out any type of high- ‘way marker, including so-called il- luminated signs, Baska said Approx- imately 14,000 road signs are expected to be made during 1935 for the state highway department, and for federal highway marking. One city has already ordered traffic signs from the plant, opening up a new source of revenue, Baska pointed out. A 400-ton hydraulic press, capable of controlled pressure ranging from the feather-touch of one ounce to the massive weight of 400 tons has been installed for manufacture of highway marker signs. Cost of manufacture will range higher in 1935 than for 1934 tags, Baska said. due to increased costs in raw materials. Selling costs to the state motor vehicle department this year will be 9'2 cents per pair, as compared with 8 cents last year. Baska claimed this to be the lowest cost per plate of any state in the country. To perfect economy, cardboard car- tons in which plates were shipped last year are being reassembled and used again this year.

C., Oct. 10—When, in the hard times of 1933, Uncle Sam was asked by thg unemployed Ameri- can: “Brother, can you spare a lime?” that grey-bearded gentleman reached his hand into the pocket of his striped, boot-strapped trousers and pulled out one billion dollars! It was on May 12, 1933, that con- gress, apprised that 19,000,000 Ameri- cans were reduced to penury, created the Federal Emergency Relief Ad- ministration. Ten days later Harry L. Hopkins took office as administra- tor, head of the largest public relief organization ever set up. The wave of unemployment had _ reached its crest. than 12,000,000 persons, normally self- supporting, were without remunera- tive work. id States, municipalities, minor: poli- tical subdivisions, as well as private charity, had been bearing the burden of support of the destitute, and that burden had become intolerable. Con- gress recognized that the time ‘had come for the federal government to function on behalf of its temporarily indigent citizens. Soon after the Emergency Relief Act was passed, President Roosevelt called a confer- ence of governors and relief officials of the states and announced that the United States was prepared to assist in the support of the people. It was emphasized that the entire burden could not be borne. From this conference sprang the elaborate organization of federal and local relief agencies, working in co- operation to redeem the promise that no American need starve. States and local jurisdictions had been spending millions on relief, but when the prom- ise of federal aid was made they re- doubled their efforts. Where neces- sary, special sessions of legislatures were called. In many cases bond is- sues were declared. New taxes were imposed. So determined were the lo- cal divisions to do their part that the average of $7,000,000 a month appro- priated by the states in the spring of 1933 by November had mounted to an average of $17,000,000 a month. Gets Into Quick Action When the FERA began function- ing, $300,000,000 of federal funds al- ready had been advanced to the states and localities through Reconstruction Finance corporation loans. Another measure of relief also had preceded the operation of the FERA. On March 31, 1933, congress had author- ized formation of the Civilian Conser- vation Corps. Its work consisted of forest conservation by fighting fires, pests, soil erosion, and floods. Food, Shelter, and clothing were furnished and the men were given instruction State Auditor Stafford King to carry om state governmental activities the coming year. in forest lore.

City families in general received more because so many more things had to be purchased with cash. In May, 1933, the average relief pay- ment fn cities was $21.19 3 month and in November, $23.27, while out- side principal cities payments had averaged $11.64 in May and $14.12 in November. This did not mean that urban dwellers were better cared for. City house rents, city food prices, and many other city items were high- er, while not @ few rural families on relief were able to find free house the fields, gardens, and orchards, The times were hard for all; hardships were to be shared, In spite of these tremendous finan- cial outpourings in direct relief, re- lef rolls increased through the early autumn, so in November the Civil Works Administration (CWA) was created, endowed by the Public Works Administration with $400,000,000.

So, through this corporation, purchases were made, the very first one consist- ing of the gigantic transfer of 100,- 000,000 pounds of salt pork from the AAA, the FERA paying the cost of Processing. In these various trans- actions bids were tendered and con- tracts entered into. One huge con- tract called for 23,000 hogs a day for 15 market days; another for 2200 head of cattle a day for 20 days. One deal resulted in the purchase of 100,- 000 head of sheep from the ranges of the Navajo Indians in Arizona and New Mexico.

Self-Help Communities Spring Up As the spring of 1934 advanced, it was determined to alter the organiza- tion and the CWA was brought to an end. But in its place. was created the Emergency Works Administration (EWA). The two systems are not greatly different, the chief difference being the EWA projects are adminis- tered under the direction of state emergency felief administrations with, however, a steady stream of con- tributions of Federal funds. of the most interesting chap- ters had to do with the aid of self- help communities.
