.2 SPENDIG PCE 1S FEARE Job-Passing Spre.e May End | by Asking Congress for = More Cash. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. ¢ four men without business or in- dustrial experience were to sit down and determine how the proceeds of a loan of $1,250,000,000 were to be spent in employing labor and buying raw materials, the people who loaned the money would promptly protest and possibly the lenders wouldn't make the loan at all. But at Hyde Park this past week, four men sat down to spend $1,250,- 000,000 of taxpayers’ money for “made-work” and not one of them had ever had any actual responsibility for an industrial pay roll or the em- ployment of labor on a large scale. The representatives of the people— the members of the Senate and House —were not present because, early this year, they abdicated their function by granting to the Executive, to be spent at his discretion, about $4,800,000,000. Debate Is The President himself announced that the fund had been allocated with the exception of $1,250,000,000. but the debate at the Summer White House on what is to be done with the remainder is, of course, a secret. No- body knows what views were expressed, what policies were suggested or re- jected and wha' the administration’s reasons were for deciding on the plans that were finally given in rather vague form to the press. It is incredible that taxpayers' | money can be disbursed that way, but it is apparently a political and not & business problem. The American people will hold the Roosevelt ad- ministration accountable at the polls for the success or failure of the large sums spent. The objectives are to put men back to work—at least 3,500,000 of them. The latest figures from the National Industrial Conference Board and the American Federation of Labor agree that, despite all the billions already spent, the unemployed still number in excess of 10,000,000 persons, Radio Statement Cited. Mr. Roosevelt, in a public state- ment to the American people over the radio, September 30, 1934, promised that he would not stand for a per- manent army of unemployed. Let the Hyde Park dispatches this week, em- bodying the result of a press con- ference there with the President, re- port that Mr. Roosevelt is reconciled now to an army of unemployed of 20 per cent of those gainfully em- ployed in 1929, aside from Agricul- tural workers. The total figure of non-Agricultural employes in 1929, was about 38,000,000, so the President concedes that about 7,600,000 are to remain unemployed. notwithstanding the many billions already spent and to be spent. Secretary Ickes and Relief Admin- {strator Hopkins had conflicting ideas of how to spend the $1,250,000,£00 which remains, but they were apart only on which plan to pursue—tney both had ideas that the Presiaent liked. The essential difference, of course, is that, on the Public Works Administration projects, which Mr. Ickes heads up and naturally favors, | the Government gets back about 45 per cent and the projects have fairly permanent value. Hopkins Stresses Jobs. The objection to the P. W. A. idea, i however, is that most of the money | goes for raw materials or goods and | & small percentage for labor, while| Harry Hopkins, social worker and | formerly at the head of the Civil Works Administration, known as the | C. W. A, knows that, to get men to work promptly, jobs have to be made for millions, even though they do noi | leave anything permanent. The work | extends from leaf-raking to white collar tasks of a research variety. Now the truth is Mr. Roosevelt is up against a political situation. 2| wants to get as many men on the Government pay roll or on some pay roll as quickly as possible. The P. W. A, headed by Mr. Ickes, means blue prints and red tape and takes lots of time. The Works Progress Administration, which is the new name for what used to be the C. W. A., can get busy quickly. So the compromise arrived at by the President is that the W. P. A. is to go ahead till the P. W. A. is ready | to absorb the unemployed up to 3,500,000. ‘What probably will happen is that | the W. P. A, like the C. W. A., will eat | up the money rapidly, and the P. W. | A. will not be ready to furnish jobs. | ‘Then the New Deal will be faced with | the same question it had when the C. W. A. petered out. It will have to get more money from Congress or take the | political consequences of offending a| large group whose jobs proved only | temporary. Business Must Absorb Labor. Upon business as a whole is the re- sponsibility for absorbing the unem- ployed not given jobs by the Govern- ment. But while business and indus- try are recovering slowly and are glad to have the “breathing spell” prom- ised, the trath is the restrictions al- ready placed upon business and nce and the promises of a resump- tion of reform measures when the “breathing spell” is over, presumably when Congress meets again, make it difficult for new capital to come ous of its tax-exempt and safe hiding places. With one hand, the administration spends billions trying to find jobs that cannot possibly be permanent, and, with the other hand, the administra- tion's laws seek a decentralization of business, a dissolution of important industrial corporations and a general surgical operation that would be diffi- cult to achieve without bringing about unemployment even in a prosperous year like 1929. Thus do political ob- Jective and practical economics come into conflict, and the answer prob- ably will come when Mr. Roosevelt finds he has to ask Congress for an- other $5,000,000,000 next January to carry on the experimentation, not- withstanding the tendency of business | and industry to improve slowly by natural process of recuperation.

BY JOHN C. HENRY. Accepting the written opinion of the President’s Committee on Eco- nomic Security that “unemployment compensation is a front line of de- fense” against economic insecurity and | unhappiness, Congress followed the committee’s recommendation in in- | cluding in the social security act pro- | vision for Federal-State co-operative unemployment compensation system. | The outline of the plan is set forth | in Title III of the act with the tax- ing provisions being in Title IX. Anxious to encourage the States| to enact and administer their own | systems, the Federal law is designed | to offer inducements toward this end and to create a competitive condition which would not be unfair to those | States that do take such steps. | To begin with, the Federal law offers to assume the administrative costs of the State systems and authorizes a| | yearly appropriation of $49,000.000 to | be allotted for this purpose. The act | then provides that State unemploy- | ment compensation laws must be en- acted and submitted to the Social Security Board for approval, at the| same time establishing certain mini- | mum requirements for such approval. State Qualifications. | Among these qualifications which a State system must have in order to receive the Federal administrative grant and to receive the tax credit | provided in Title IX are the following: Proper administration. Payment of compensation solely | through public employment offices or other approved agencies. No compensation to be payable until at least two years after contributions begin. | State unemployment fund to be de- posited with the unemployment trust | fund of the United States Treasury. Money withdrawn to be used solely for payment of compensation, ex- | clusive of administrative expense. Compensation not to be denied any eligible individual for refusal to ac- | cept work if (1) the position vacant ! is due directly to a strike, lockout or labor dispute; (2) the wages, hours, or conditions of work are substan- | tially less favorable to the individual | than those prevailing in the locality, or (3) if the individual would be required to join & company union or to resign from or refrain from joining a bona fide labor organiza- tion. United States Taxation on Employers. The Federal taxation necessary to carry out the Federal part of this| program is to be levied on employers only, with those engaging fewer than eight employes not being subject to the tax. In addition, the following lines of employment are exempt: Agriculture, service on vessel, domes- | tic service in private home, service | in employ of member of family, public | employment and employment by non- | profit religious or charitable institu- | tion. Employment must be within 20 weeks of a single year. The rate for this Federal taxation is set at 1 per cent of total wages | in 1936, 2 per cent in 1937 and 3| per cent from 1938 on. Against this Federal levy employers are to be al- lowed a credit up to 90 per cent for any contribution or tax paid to an approved State unemployment com- pensation system. After 1937 addi- tional credit is also allowable to any employer who, because of fa- vorable employment experience or | adequate reserves, is permitted by | the State law to reduce his payments. With the universai taxation es-| tablished as a means of equalizing competitive conditions so that States with their own systems will not be placing their employers at a disad- vantage as compared with those of & neighboring State, and with ad- ministrative aid offered, it is the expectation of Federal officials that the States will fall into line with increasing speed. Otherwise, it is pointed dut, the employers will be paying the tax to the Federal Gov- ernment, but wil! be receiving no credit for the purpose of taking care of their own unemployed. Seven States Have Laws. At the present time eight States and the District of Columbia have unemployment compensation laws, most of them enacted within the past yearor so. Although some minor alter- ations may be necessary, all of these are expected to qualify without difficulty for approval of the Social Security Board. These States are Alabama, Cali- fornia, Massachusetts, New Hamp- shire, New York, Utah, Washington | and Wisconsin. In addition Nor'h | Carolina recently passed an enabling act by which the Governor and coun- cil are given power to designate a commission to administer a system of unemployment compensation in conformance to the pattern set forth in the national act. | ture in The Evening Star Sep- tember 24, when he returns to Washington from his vacation Some of the major provisions of these State acts follow: California—Affects employers of four or more wrkers; taxes both | more; taxes employers up to 3 per | weeks; | ciple is opposed to the system of col- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. LAKE PLACID, N. Y., September 14 —With the cares of office left back | at his Hyde Park home, President | Roosevelt came to this picturesque spot | in the heart of the Adirondack Moun- | tains to participate in the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of conserva- tion in New York State, and the dedication of the memorial highway to the top of Whiteface Mountain. During the forenoon Mr. Ronsevelt made a brief, extemporaneous ad- dress in the Olympic arena, inci- dent to the elaborate ceremonies in observation of his State's half-cen- tury of conservation work. Later he motored to the top of White- face Mountain, the second larg- est peak in the Adirondacks, a distance of 28 miles from Lake Placid, to inspect the newly-completed high- way, and to deliver a brief speech to a gathering on the mountain top inci- dent to the highway dedication cere- | monies. - In his brief talk the President ex- pressed pride in the C.
