48 STATES AIM
In 1918 there were twenty com
munity chests throughout the
country. Today there are 382. They
are functioning In cities of ull sizes
, In 44 of the 48 states ana In the
uisinct of Columbia. The com
munity welfare liUerents of 39.000
OOO people or 31 of the total
population of the United States
are now financed and administered
through these agencies.
This extraordinary spread of the
central financing Idea commands in
stant attention as we survey the
reasons why the president's emer
gency committee fur employment
looked to the chests for U'uderslitp
In the forthcoming welfare and re
lief mobilization. Not only had
they demonstrated their worth In
normal times, but they hod already
been put to the test of emergency
service. "
For use in 1928 they raised 07.
000.000. Then come the slump, yet
they raised 73,000.000 for use In
1929. The depression continued;
they struck a new high total ol
$76,000,000 for use In 1930. For
1931, the grand total has exceeded
82.000,000. They had been organ
ized so solidly, with the permanent
support both of the social agencies
and the representative citizens ot
their communities, that economic
pressure seemed to strengthen rather
than to weaken their grasp of the
emergency situation.
Moreover, the chests consistently
have practiced among themselves
the kind of team-work they preach
as a watchword for each community.
Although every chest is individual
in scope, organization and policies,
according to the differing require
ments or the communities they
serve, they have, through their na
tional association. Interchanged ex
periences and ideas, and have worked
together in developing Improved
methods and standards. This has
enabled them to co-operate for the
common good without in any sense
sacrificing their essentially local
functions.
The president's committee knew
that the chests would give a bal
anced response they would not al
low the general welfare services ol
their communities to be forgotten
in spectacular campaigns for emer
gency relief. As one welfare leader
has phrased it: "We cannot side
track 10 years of progress in social
planning 'Jtist' because- there Iff nn
extraordinary relief situation to be
met." As In normal times, the
chests during the entire critical pe
riod have been fighting for the
preservation of the complete com
munity program. They have been
Insistent upon the need for rellel
funds, both from public and prlvstc
sources, but at the same time they
have continued to champion those
preventive and constructive activities
which contribute so much to raising
the American standard of living
public health services, character
building activities, organized recrea
tional enterprises and supplementary
education. This policy will remain
in force during the welfare and re
lief mobilization. Reconstruction and
rehabilitation along permanent lines,
rather, than merely ameliorative
measures, will be the dominating
purpose.
In selecting the chests for leader
ship the president's committee
opened the way for intelligent co
operation between public and private
charity. With Its grasp of the en
tire community program, and It
thorough knowledge of community
resources, the average chest Is in
the best possible position to aid
local governments in determining

where private charity leaves off and
public relief begins. This Is of par
ticular Importance for the reason
that at least three-quarters of the
entire direct relief bill during the
coming fall and winter must be
met Irom local tax funds. Last year
a study mode by the department ol
labor of 100 typical cities showed
that 72 per cent of the entire rellel
burden was met In this way, and the
same ratio may well have to be in
creased substantially. This combi
nation of public and private lund3
roqulrea Intelligent community plan
ning. It cannot be worked out In
a hit-or-miss fashion. Where there
Is an efficiently administered com
munity chest, the line of demarca
tion between private and public re
sponsibility Is far easier to find
than In a community where all
philanthropy Is administered on an
Independent and competitive basis.
The president's committee was
confident that the national associa
tion of community cheats would be
as well equipped to stimulate fund
raising activity and adequate plan
ning of welfare work In cities with
out community chests as In those
having cheats. Of the 370 cities ot
25.000 . or more population Involved
In the mobilization, 244 have com
munity chests. In the remaining
132, welfare and relief work are
otherwise administered. The com
mittee assumed that an organiza
tion which had been so conspicu
ously successful in rallying commu
nity resources in chest cities would
also have something to offer In the
way of organization advice and as
sistance in the non-chest commu
nities. In carrying out this part of
the commission, there will be no
attempt to foster the chest Idea,
but merely an offer, based upon
chest experience, to aid in planning
effective emergency programs.
Contrary to a prevalent impres
sion, the community chest was not
a creation of the war. The Idea
had made its appearance long before,
and many of the so-called "war
chests" made no provision for peace-
! time work. Nevertheless, it was the
war which gave the movement Im
petus nationally. By dramatizing
In a time of emergency the poten
tialities of united effort, the war
hastened the development of an
Idea which had been tested as early
as 1887, In Denver, and which had
been tried out prior -to 1917 in many
cities -such as " Cleveland,:. Dayton.
Cincinnati, Baltimore and Detroit.
To my mind the most Important
contribution which the chest method
has made to present any me is a
new concept of individual responsi
bility for community welfare. With
the growth of large cities, the break
ing up of personal contracts, and a
prevalent preoccupation with mate
rial progress, this kind of responsi
bility was gradually disappearing.
The chest reminds the Individual
that, regardless of the size df the
city, and quite aside from atny senti
mental consideration, or whether
he actually comes in contact with
need or distress, he shares responsi
bility for the welfare of the com
munity for the simple reason that
he lives in It and Is a part of it.
This concept was prevalent when
communities were smaller and llfo
was simpler. Its perpetuation in
the hurried and complex life of to
day Is largely a community chest
achievement.
In principle and in practice the
community chest Is founded on the
doctrine of "local responsibility tor
local needs." The community chest.
Indeed, seem made to order for ser
vice in meeting the present emer
gency on this basis

OPPOSITION

INCREASES
Great Array of Figures and
Data Marshaled to Com
bat Freight Cost increase
Hearing Starts Monday
WASHINGTON (AP) Opponent
of the railroads' fervent plea for the
15 per cent freight rate Increase are
busy marshaling facts and figures
to meet Slat Is tics presented for the
raise. J
Farmers, lumbermen and manu
facturers are finding plnty of data
available far the hearings which re
sumed In Washington August 10.
Fifty cent wheat, nine sent cotton,
lumber lower than It had been in
years, and cfteap steel, coal and
manufactured articles generally sup
ply arguments for those who oppose
the blanket raise.
Yet those who Insist it would be
a further shackling of the already
lame legs of Industry and agricul
ture to boost rates do not deny that
the railroads need more money. .
"But so do we all," they say. MWe
are In the, slough together. Don't
tramp on ub In trying to get out."
Nor do the railroaders deny that
some commodities Bhould not have
t,ielr transportation charges In
creased. "We know that," said W. R. Cole,
massive-framed president of the
Louisville & Nashville railroad, "Give
us the raise. It would take too long
to consider each rate separately. We
will make adjustments later."
Commoulllen' Hide of It
That did not stop the questions
about particular rates on particular
commodities. The opponents, thru
cross examination, presented their
case almost as much as the railroads
and security holders.
Railroad attorneys will have the
same right for questioning when data
ore Introduced to show that copper,
for instance. Is In no position to pay
more to be hauled to market.
Some opponents of the Increase
have suggested that a road out of
the difficulty is to cut wages of rail
road workers.
They have had little comfort. The
mention of wageB at the recent hear
ing brought' Commissioner Bnlthasar
Meyer upright.
"There will be no discussion of
railroad wages In these proceedings,"
he said emphatically. ,
Labor Wtitrheti on Hldellnefl
Organised railroad labor has
adopted the part of a bystander. But
Its spokesmen have said unequivo
cally that there would be trouble. If
anybody tried to lower the pay scale.
There are those who' argue stren
uously that the raise would mean less
money for the railroads because It
would drive shippers to the trucks,
t,ie barge lines and the rallplanes.
Others suggested that the devel
opment of other carriers were giving
a "plethora" of transportation. In
short, that there are too many rail
roads. Cole studied over that before lie
replied.
"Well," he said, "If the railroads
are becoming moribund, all that can
be done is to call the undertaker,
ir they are needed, we feel it Is up
to the commission to help us."
The commission's attitude on .his
summarization Is awaited by the
country. It is gathering the facts
for its decision.

Uttle Carolina boy's whim, on being
forced by divorce to choose between
his parents, has been Interpreted In
music by a-New Orleans hounwlfe
and' the song, promises to be one of
the popular bits of the year.
- The . hlld4sjluthr of the phrase
"When the leaves are turning brown
In Carolina" has been lost in his ob
scurity. His expression, however, will
go to the hearts of millions In the
next few months In the form of radio
selections and sheet music. The song
already has been broadcast over the
NBC chain, pronounced one of the
best popular tunes of the year, and is
being considered for the theme of a
talking picture by Wanier Brothers.
Mrs. Jcanette Conrad Tucker, of
New "Orleans, has received a check
for advance royalties from a New
York publisher, who estimated her
net return would amount to between
$15,000 and S20.000.
Mrs. Tuclter memorized and com
posed the song as she went about her
housework. She was inspired, she
said, by a newspaper story about the
little Carolina boy whose parents
were divorced and who was given the
choice of staying with his mother or
his father. "I like to stay with mo
ther, but I really wunt to be with
father when the leaves are turning
brown In Carolina," the boy replied.
The phrase ran through her head,
Mrs. Tucker said, and lost November
she wrote out the composition and
submltteed it to W. J. Herbst, New

outgrowth of Miss Barton's experi

impressed Miss Barton so strongly
that she devoted the remainder ol
her life to urging United States ad
