RELIEF PROGRAM
ST. LOU19. Sept. tt (UJ5 A
four-fold program tor the relief
of unemployment was outlined
today by Governor William H.
Murray of Oeklahoma before
delegates from 19 eutes attend
ing a conference which met here
at the governor's call.
Murray said ha proposed the
building ot more roads, th
speeding np of all federal build
ing projects, th shortening of
working hours so that mora men
could be used, and the employ
ment ot workers to repair farm
and city buildings.
"I propose," tha Oklahoma
governor said, "that th govern
ment, county, state and federal,
provide work tor th mora than
1.000.000 unemployed In this
section and then sea that those
who do not work do not eat."
Regarding the cotton problem
caused by over-production in the
south, Murray said:
"My plan calls for th reduc
tion in Oklahoma to on third
of th land now need for cotton
during 1932 and 133. After
that cotton raising would be thus
reduced every third year and the
prlc again would reach a rea
sonable figure."
Murray said that he would at
tempt further to alleviate suf
fering in Oklahoma by present
ing to the voters a referendum
proposing to restrict cotton
planting. The law would allow
only one third of land under
cultivation to be used to grow
cotton. Th governor aald he
also was considering a similar
proposal to limit wheat produc
tion in his state.
