What ever else the present administration may seek to do, and however widely its various policies may be criticized, there is one point on which all hands are agreed. People who can't get work are not going to suffer from hunger, cold, and home lessness any longer.' ' " .

CHANCE TO PAY BACK l TAX FOR '30 (Continued From Page One) Installment payments, thus keeping their 10IJO and prior years' back taxes off the delinquent lists. One Install ment paid before July 1 would serve to suspend sale of the property by the county at least until Jan. 1, 1035, and two payments would suspend sale until July 1, 1035. even If no more payments havo been made at present. Under the ten-payment plan for tho 1030 and prior years' back taxes, tho property owner has five years to pay up these taxes, providing he keeps up his payments. Tho pay ments are due every six montlis and Include one-tenth of the tax, plus interest on tho unpaid balance from tho date of the previous Installment payment. However, If payments are not made on time thero Is a two per cent penalty of tho payment added. "The tax collection office here has no option In the matter," Deputy Clayionib explained regretfully, "as this ten payment law makes It man datory or compulaory to sell for taxes after three Installments are past duo.

So far the federal administration has spent $1,500,000,000 on unemployment relief. lielief Administrator Hopkins was uiven SOfiO.OUO.OOO this Hpnng mer; but it is going; fast, and there is every indication that it is not going to be enough. For there is pne disturbing fact in connection with the recovery program. Unemployment may be shrinking, and payrolls1 may be going up: but there are today some 4,700,000 people on federal relief rolls, as compared with 4,000,000 a In other words, an Increasing number of Jobless people, unable to date to hook themselves up with Jobs, have come to the end of their resources and are turning to Uncle Sam. In spllo of business Improvement, Uncle Sam la directly supporting more people now than he waa aupportlng a year ago. Thcro Is no reason to believe that the present rate of revival will materially reduce the number In This brings us up against the key factpr In the whoje equation. Back of all our talk about codes, reform measures, monetary policies, and the like there Is this large, solid, and Interesting body of people who will starve if the government doesn't provide them with food and shelter. They must bo taken care of, because while the Job of caring for them Is expensive, Jt tan't half so expensive as cutting them off the relief rolls would be. The pressure which this fuct may exert on any recovery program Is not a thing to bo overlooked. No estimate of the New Deal's accomplishments and no forecast of Its future CQurag these 4,700,000 on the relief rolls Is arty on which taxes arc delinquent tor 1930 and prior thereto will have to be sold after July 1, 1034. We would surest that you avail yourself Of this plun and make nt leant one payment before July 1 , this year. Otherwise your property will revert to the county. This office will be Ulud to go over the matter with you and oxpluln It In more detail, show ing you what the amount of your flrnt payment will be and giving you any additional Information that wc can regarding this ten - puyment plan." In order to appraise all of the matter, Cluycoinb and his assistant In the tax collecting department are preparing to mall letters to all prop- erty owners whose taxes arc delin quent for the year 1030 or for pre vious years, calling their attention to the expiration of the time for taking advantage of the ten-payment plan.
