Unemployment Relief
(Continued from Page 1)
unemployment relief programs. This
caused a further shift in families from
the relief rolls of these agencies to
the rolls of the State Board.
The number of uaemployed reached
the peak in March, 1933. The nnumber
of cases on relief, on the other hand,
continued to increase until May. This
situation arose from a continuation of
the situation explained in the preced-
ing paragraph and also from the fol-
lowing relationship which exists be-
tween the incidence of unemployed and
the incidence of relief. Only appro-
ximately half of the unemployed have
been on the relief rolls at any parti-
cular time. Many unempoyed persons
are able to keep from applying for re-
lief for varying periods of time be-
cause of savings’ assistance from rela-
{tives and friends and borrowing. These
unemployed persons not on relief are
often those who most recently became:
unemployed. These persons are often
the more efficient and are, therefore,
the first to regain employment as con-
ditions improve, as was the case im-
mediately after March of this year.
When the self-sustaining unemployed
tion in the easeload. On the other
|hana, as against the number returning
to employment, there is another group
of unemployed who are forced to ap-
ply for relief after their resources and
savings are exhausted.
Since May the number of cases on
relief has decreased at approximately
the same rate as the number of ua-
employed; because of the conditions
enumerated above it would be expect-
ied that the number of families on re~
lief would decrease less rapidly than
the number of unemployed, at least
for several months after a decrease in
unempoyment sets in. The fact that
the number of relief cases has de-
creased more rapidly since May thaa
would be expected is due to a consid-
erable - extent to the improvement in
the quality of relief administration
since that time. y
Excerpts from the report of the re-
lief director follow:
What are the high points of Penn-
sylvania’s present system of unem-
ployment relief? How shall we ap-
praise what has been done during the
past fourteen months? What objec-
tives shall we seek to attain for the
future?
Acceptance of responsibility for
unemployment relief by public ra-
ther than by private agencies has
taken place. Here lies a change
in viewpoint which is national in
scope. It is now universally re-
cognized that the results of unem-
ployment must be taken care of,
in the main, by governmental
agencies. This change, which has
largely been wrought in three
years’ time is far more signifi-
cant of an altered conception of
the social responsibilities of gov-
ernment than is generally recog-
nized.
It is desirable and a logical change;
persons receiving unemployment relief
are for the most part self-respecting
citizens of the State who are out of
employment through no fault of their
own. They do not want “charity”;
they do not want alms-giving of a
self-satisfied donor. They simply ask
reasonable security for self and fam-
ily during periods of unemployment.
Government is the only agency that
is broad enough to cover the needs of
all communities. It is the only avail-
able source of financial support that
is adequate to the task. There is no
turning back from this decision.
Throughout western Europe where ex-
tensive unempoyment has been for
many years an acute problem, gov-
ernmental responsibility for unem-
ployment relief has long since become
an established principal.

however, provided no basis for com-

As unempoyment increased, the over-
whelming burden thrown upon inade- |
in this viewpoint. In December, 1931,
the Pennsylvania Legislature provided
funds for unemployment relief for the |
time, but these funds were appropria-
ted for expenditures by the 424‘local
poor districts without any provisiin for
any State supervision. How this ex-
periment failed is chown in this report. |
of this report. ;
This need for unemployment relief
sion of 1932 , when the Legislature
broke with tradition and established |
the present State Relief Administra-
tion. Within a. month of that time,
the Federal Government had for the
first’ time provided funds to be used
unemployment relief. §
A partnership was thereby formed
consisting of Local State and Federal |
Governments, with resources joined
to meet their common responsibility’
By this ' time (August, 1932)
credit of a large majority of the local
Pennsylvania-municipatities had be-
come strained to the limit and many
were on the verge of banKkruptey,
while, on the other hand, the credit of
the Commonwealth was excellent.
It is not surprising, therefore, that
Pennsylvania's present program has
almost completely departed from the
theory of local responsibility. It may
have been contemplated by the legis-
lation that local municipalities should
continue to assume a large measure of
responsibility The law,
pelling contributions, nor measuring
local financial ability. Under such
circumstances, the State and Federal |
Government naturally assumed the
Under the provision of the Woodward
Act, the Legislature wisely gave the
State Board power not only to admin-
ister relief through existing public
or private agencies but also to create
new agencies. The Board chose the
latter alternative and in the establish-/
ment of the County Emergency Relief
Boards, took the most important step
forward in the development of the
Public Service in the history ~ of the
State of Pennsylvania. y
The County Boards do not have the
status of Boards established by law.
Their existence and authority rests
merely upon executive decision by the
State Board. There is, accordingly,
nothing rigid or unchangeable in their
pattern. This situation has been of
inestimable value in the deveolpement
of an emergency program which had
to meet changing conditions from
month to month. The flexibility per-
mitted under the provisions of the
Woodward Act in regard to types:of
local agencies which might be used
and relief policies which might be de-
veloped, has been the main strength
of the Pennsylvania program.
RECOMMENDATION
The present from of organiza-
tion, whereby the primary finan-
cial responsibility and initiative
for the admnistration of the re-
lief program has been lodged with
the State, is admirably suited to
present conditions. However, it
is to be hoped that by the time the
Legislature meets in the regular
Session of 1935 the financial con-
dition of local municipalities will
have materially improved, and
that generally more stable con-
ditions will exist. Under such
conditions, it is recommended that
a long-term relief program be es-
tablished which will bring back
the local community as a more
active participant in the Federal-
State-Local partnership
It is further recommended that
new legislation provide that the lo-
cal community make the basic
contribution toward its own un-
employment relief expenditures,
retaining a large measure of con-
trol of local administration. How-
ever, it is also strongly recom-
mended that the partnership ar-
rangement of Local, State and
Federal Governments be continued
as the basis of the long-term pro-
gram, 3
State Leadership and Control of Un-
employment Relief Program.
The First Talbot Act established the
principle that the State should pro-
vide funds for unemployment relief,
The Woodward Act and the Second
Talbot Act established the further
principle that the State should pro-
vide leadership, and should have con-
trol of the expenditure of relief funds
and supervision over the developement
of the State-wide unemployment re-
lief program,
Only through this State leadership
work - toward one program for the
State, with uniformity of policy and
standards of administration. The task
is by no means completed. However
much progress has been made and
State leadership is the keystone of the
present program.
Legally, the State Emergency Re-
lief Board has no control over the ad-
ministration of Federal funds. Under
the law it is an Advisory Board to the
Governor in the administration of
these funds. However, the Governor,
who is Chaiirman of the Board, es-
tablished the practiice of accepting the
recommendations made to him by the
Board. Consequently, State and Fed-
eral funds actually ware administered
as an intergrated unit with a single
administration, both State and local.
Through this co-ordination, there has
been only one unemployment relief
program, and not two. This has eli-
minated an untold amount of duplica-
cation, friction and inefficiency. Had
not State and Federal funds been ad-
ministered practically as “one fund
during the past year, chaos would
have resulted.
The presence of a centralized State
administration during the past eyar
has proved of value, not only in the
fulfillment of the regular relief pro-
gram, but also in carrying out activi-
ties closely related to the relief pro-
gram

ery which had been created it was

Citizen's Participation. :
One of "the most creditabe feature
ofthe Pennsylvania unemployment. re
lief system has béen the voluntary
participation of more than 400 persons
serving .on County Emergency Relie
Boards and a large number of addi
tional persons on local committee
and in other voluntary capacities, all
‘of whom serve without compensation.
In a large measure, such success as
has been attained has been due to the
devoted effort of the citizens who have
rallied to the call of this State under-
taking. They have given generously
of their time, their thought, and their
loyalty. in helping to meet one of the
great crises in the hstory of the Com-
monwealth.
The participation of many of ‘these oi}
relief administration has been an in
valuable public service, As the relief’
administration has progressed in th:
past fourteen months, it has been gr
tifying to observe a growing interes
in this and other related problems of
goverament on the part of an ever, i
creasing number of citizens.
Due to lack of provisions for admin
istration expense, many of the Citi
zens’ Boards functioned in the beg
ining, without administrative person
nel except such voluntary service a :
could be secured locally,
On the one hand, this deveoped
tain weakness in the administra
which, in many instances, were not
correct / until paid administrative
staffs were developed. On the other
hand, it is a note-worthy achievement
of ‘emergency administration that the
zealous and conscientions service of
these citizens provided the basis for
local administration which has been
maintained on a singularly high plan
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that any fu-
ture modification of the State Re-
lief Administration retain the fe
ture of a local’ unpaid Citizens
Board as the head of the loca
administrative unit. RAT a
The Administrative Standard—Quali-
fied Paid Personnel ‘Appointed on a
Merit Basis, ;
Even before the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration issued its re
gulations requiring certain standard
of relief administration, the State
Emergency Relief Board had made a
good start toward setting up minim-
um standards. Skilled service under
experienced supervision was necessary
in th ereceiving of relief applications
clearance with the ‘Social Service Ex J
change or Central Index of families in =
the community, and adequate: investi- i
gaton, All of these are essential | ti
effective relief administration.
Staff employees are now being ‘ap
pointed to positions on the basis of
their training experience and quali
cations.
There has been some heedless dis.
cussion on the subject of the cost o
relief administration. In.Pennsylvan
ia as a matter of fact, there is not now
being expended sufficient funds fo
administration to insure the high de
gree of efficiency that should ultimate-
ly obtain. If there is any criticism
er
expense, it is that too little,
than too much has been Spent for thi
pUrposeé.
RECOMMENDATION x
It is recommended that, in any
permanent relief program, safe-
guards be established so that the
selection of personnel and tenure
of office may be protected by ef-
fective Civil Service provisions in
such a way as to remove these
offices entirely from the sphere of |
partisan politics. It is particular-
ly important in this field of gov-
ernmental activity that politics be _
barred. When it is realized that
relief grants are in a measure
gifts from the State to individuals
no permanent system should even
be considered without this pro-
tection. It is a provision which
should be desired not only by
the taxpayers and far-sighted po-
litical leaders as well. The impor-
tance of this recommendation can-
nét be too strongly emphasized. :
The State Administration in a Per-
manent Relief Program
The present Board is composed” of
State officials who are members o
the Board under the law by virtue of
the offices which they hold. These
Officers are: the Governor, Lieuten-
ant Governor, State Treasurer, Audi-
tor General, and Speaker of the House!
of Representatives.
The establishment of an ex- officio
Board was the result of compromise
born of the conflict which developed
in the special session of the Legisla-
ture<in 1932. It is probably the best
form of organization that could have
been secured under the circumstances
existing at that time. However, it is
plain that such a type of organization
is not the best for the purpose of su-
pervising the State-wide unemploys
ment relief program.
In the first place, there is no SUP
ance that the individual State Officia
desiignated to serve on the Board wil
be familiar with or interested in, relief:
problems.
In the second place, the varying
terms of office of these State Officials
have no relevance to the needs of the
Board or to continuity of policy. Al
ready, in the short space of fourteen
