Co-operation Asked
State Welfare
Body Opposed
Creation of a state public welfare
commission to administer welfare
and relief programs as proposed in
senate bill 70 was opposed by the
Washington County Tax Equaliza­
tion league In a resolution adopted
here Saturday night. Another meet­
ing of the group Is scheduled for
8 p m. Saturday at the court house
for further discussions of pending
legislation, according to H. R. Find­
ley of Cedar Mill, league president.
Opposition to the welfare com­
mission measure was based on the
contention that It placed control
of all local charities in the hands
of state officials and was an at­
tempt to centralize affairs of the
state in a few persons. Leaguers
also contended that experience had
demonstrated that the proposed
plan would be more expensive than
the present method.
That the expense of handling
charities such as the county farm,
widows' pensions, old age pensions,
care of orphans, etc., would prob­
ably be doubled or trebled in some
cases lf the law was adopted, was
the declaration of County Judge
Donald T. Templeton.
Senate bill relating to the re­
funding of obligations of incorpor­
ated cities met with the disfavor
of the league. A resolution was
adopted citing the group's belief
that the bill was an attempt to un­
load part of the state's expense on
counties and that Washington coun­
ty would stand to lose <2700 by the
change.
Non partisan primary measure
was opposed on the grounds that It
was a drift toward socialism. Mem­
bers of the league contended that
suoh moves in the past have proved
expensive to property owners and
that Increased taxes could be
traced to the first of the state's
socialistic laws, the Initiative and
referendum law. Belief th at a can-
