It is easy for those Who are unemployed to become impatient with those on relief. The taxpayers’ burden is not getting any easier to bear. The Port Arthur Times- Chronicle points out that" it would not be so bad if it constituted a sum that could be paid over and done with. Year after year, however, it has been. increasing as more and more taxpayers have had to give up and go on relief themselves. We have been adding nammes to the receivâ€" ing end and taking away from the number of givers. Because thereare some lazy cheaters, men who al- ways loafed and are better off to-day than in pre-depres- sion days, we are apt to lose sympathy with the great mass of relief recipients who chafe under present condi- tions and would welcome an opportunity to go to work again. A public-spirited man who is devoting all his time, Without pay, to the relief problem in one of the big cities, has this to say:â€" “Who are these people on relief? “Well, 90 per cent of them never accepted a penny of help before the depression. Over half held their past job with one employer for more than five years. Misfits and riff-raff indeed! One out of ev- ery five of our citizens, representing a fair cross-sec- tion of normal city populatiomt vaj‘ucuollege men and womenâ€"2,000 skills represent- edâ€"doctors, lawyers, ministers, mechanics, laborers. “Except for the accidents of life you might be one of them.” , There are some real dangers in the relief situation. Sympathy with the lot of the unfortunate is almost certain to give place to resentment and hostility as the years pass without a lightening of the burden. Bitter- ness breeds bitterness. n “Tlie morale of the relief recipient is in danger of breaking to the point Where he will come to believe that struggle is not worth While, and that the county owes him a living If the standard of relief is so high that it becomes a wage quite naturally men will never really seek employ- ment. Relief should always be reliefâ€"and nothing more. Work at wages mUSt always look more attractive. A list of the various types of persons who must be purged from relief rolls, is contained in a letter sent out by Hon. David Croll, minister of municipal affairs. The minister points out that an immediate and thorough over- hauling of the relief lists must be carried out, and deâ€" clares : H “Those whom I may be permitted to call chisellers; families who have made relief their career and who are taking advantage of state assistance. They can be subâ€" divided into: (a) Those who prefer relief to labor and deliberately reject the opportunity to work at fair wages. (b) Those who conceal assetsâ€"possess bait-1k accounts un- der false names, etc. (c) Those who conceal incomeâ€" fail to report earnings which would reduce allowances. VAwL v» - Our investigations, besides revealing the extent of ‘illegitimate’ relief, have indicated three main categories among recipients towards whom drastic action will be ne- cessary. They comprise: “Those heads of families Whose children are earning good wages, but in Whose cases inadequate reductions are made by municipal relief officers. There is evidence of urauc uy illLuuuiyui lullpL ‘11.; VVVVVV k.u.-v u, v.-g.v a Widespread departure from the provmcial principle that the family must be regarded as a unit and the eannings of all members considered when relief allowances are com- puted. These cases are less the fault of the recipients themselves than of lax municipal administration. “The exploited: those full-time workers who receive a wage so low that supplementary relief must be given if the family is to have the necessities of life. You must be aware that many employers are paying starvation wages and candidly informing their workers that ‘you can get partial relief.’ They will continue to do so just so long as partial relief is granted to full-time workers. As the situation now stands, governments and municipalities are in effect subsidizing private industry and at the same time, depressing the general wage rate. 1 n V._[ g‘The‘ge areuthe people who must be removed from your relief rolls. You are urged to act without delay ‘so that the task may be completed by March 31st.” Municipal tax bills in Ontario municipalities will this year have the amount levied for relief purposes definitely indicated. This is as it should be. It should be brought home to everyoneâ€"even to those on reliefâ€"that the money that is paid out to the unemployed is taken in taxes from those who are working. The principle should be extended to the monies raised for relief purposes by the Dominion and Provincial govâ€" ernments. In no other way will the people come to realize the peril of the Whole relief situation. There will be no inconsiderable volume of support for a resolution adopted by the County Council of the County of Elgin, as follows:â€"“That the Highway Traffic Act should be amended to provide that all persons owning mot- or vehicles be required to obtain a policy of insurance a- gainst public liability and property damage before they can obtain a license to operate same.” Accidents are hap- pening every day in which the drivers of offending motor cars carry no insurance and have no means to reimburse those whom they have injured. In countless cases the unhappy victims have suffered the loss of thousands of dollars in hospital bills, impaired earning power and prop- erty damage. If a person cannot afford an insurance policy of this type he should not be driving a car. It is hoped that the lead given by Elgin County will receive general support throughout Ontario.
