years. "
■Seemingly all of the important tax
legislation,.all of the tax -relief measures and many of the important appropriation bills are being turned into the legislative hopper at one time
—at a time when representatives and
senators aire anxious to quit their
long, tedious grind and get back
home.
] Not' to this very day has there
j been any definite welfare legislation
! advanced to a point for "final consid-
!' eration. . This is due largely to the
i fact that many members of the house
I are" not in accord, with the executive
J and senate idea* of fund diversion tq
! aid the hungry unemployed people of
Michigan. This money must be diverted from one of the only sources
the state is getting money from.—the
automobile weight tax, or the federal
■government will no longer give aid.
' In fact, the Michigan welfare department- has already been advised
that no federal .money will come to
the state for the usual May allotment,
"hat .means that cities and counties
that have contracted debts upon the
assumption that they would have this
federaljmeney to pay these bills with;
will -.not be able to pay the bills for
•supplies for the various welfare units.
Michigan, is one of .the few states
that has not yet complied with th2
demand of Washington that it mast
provide some state aid for support of
its unemployed in order to get "federal aid. Washington takes the position that as long as Michigan state,
•government has done nothing to provide funds for the hungry, the government cannot and will hot help a
state that refuses to help itself. .
Upon promises of the enactment of
the Kulpt bill that provides funds for
welfare, the federal governmenjt the
past few months has" been advancing
.jioney to the state, but now the federal aid has been withdrawn.
So it can readily be seen that important legislative welfare questions
are goir-g to be jammed into the final
days,of the.session for. consideration ,
Bills that provide' finances., for the
public school system, of Michigan, are
making progress. TFears expressed a
few weeks ago that almost a complete collapse of the school system of
the state was an outlook for the fall,
have been disappearing" and it begins
to look now as though the legislature
will be able to get some revenue pro--
ducing bills through that will keep
the most of the schools open for at
least a greater portion of the year.
.Some progress is also being made
on the Moore delinquent tax bill that
has been down and out two or three
times: but in some way finds sufficient
new vitality to arise again and carry
on.. Possibly this is due to the fact
that even though the original. bill
wasn't all that it should have been, ;
there is merit to'the desire of some
of the repersentatives and senators'
to give seine aid to property owners
who are unable to pay- their taxes. 1
The one stumbling block that has
stood in the way of the Moore bill, I

" ■Seemingly all of the important tax legislation,.all of the tax -relief measures and many of the important appropriation bills are being turned into the legislative hopper at one time —at a time when representatives and senators aire anxious to quit their long, tedious grind and get back home. ] Not' to this very day has there j been any definite welfare legislation ! advanced to a point for "final consid- !' eration. . This is due largely to the i fact that many members of the house I are" not in accord, with the executive J and senate idea* of fund diversion tq ! aid the hungry unemployed people of Michigan. This money must be diverted from one of the only sources the state is getting money from.—the automobile weight tax, or the federal ■government will no longer give aid. ' In fact, the Michigan welfare department- has already been advised that no federal .money will come to the state for the usual May allotment, "hat .means that cities and counties that have contracted debts upon the assumption that they would have this federaljmeney to pay these bills with; will -.not be able to pay the bills for •supplies for the various welfare units. Michigan, is one of .the few states that has not yet complied with th2 demand of Washington that it mast provide some state aid for support of its unemployed in order to get "federal aid. Washington takes the position that as long as Michigan state, •government has done nothing to provide funds for the hungry, the government cannot and will hot help a state that refuses to help itself. . Upon promises of the enactment of the Kulpt bill that provides funds for welfare, the federal governmenjt the past few months has" been advancing .jioney to the state, but now the federal aid has been withdrawn. So it can readily be seen that important legislative welfare questions are goir-g to be jammed into the final days,of the.session for. consideration , Bills that provide' finances., for the public school system, of Michigan, are making progress. TFears expressed a few weeks ago that almost a complete collapse of the school system of the state was an outlook for the fall, have been disappearing" and it begins to look now as though the legislature will be able to get some revenue pro-- ducing bills through that will keep the most of the schools open for at least a greater portion of the year. .Some progress is also being made on the Moore delinquent tax bill that has been down and out two or three times: but in some way finds sufficient new vitality to arise again and carry on.. Possibly this is due to the fact that even though the original. bill wasn't all that it should have been, ; there is merit to'the desire of some of the repersentatives and senators' to give seine aid to property owners who are unable to pay- their taxes. 1 The one stumbling block that has stood in the way of the Moore bill, I the fear that it was designed to aid ' I'd rather see a nation drunk night'frame, bridged over to the lightning — " protection^ cabled from the protectors to the "duimimy'' switchboard, and there made .up into wire forms, with each -pair of wires occupying exactly the same place-it would on the and day on liquor than on beer. This whole rountry has been drunk, on beer for months. Not intoxicated, but drunk. All we talk.abpu*: is beer. There's not a thing wjrong with it. Why can't we take it 'or leave it and be satisfied? We cry hard' times,'lose sleep, wondering how to make ends meet. , „ It's depression and beer, or "peer ■md depression. One's just as bad as the other. What-is the world coming to, when we put such simple things ahead of our religion? We curse, we cry and lament more every day. "Oh what is going to become of us?'' . ..» I'll tell you, we're all going to hell together. That may be crude to some, but it will be truth to others. One .Hand, :one;7Pow'er, can help and save us. No "human power can right what millions have wronged. God.
