Welfare Benefits.
According to information recently
obtained from the state department
of public welfare especial attention is
being called to the fact that the first
two amendments on the official bal
lot for the general election on June 8
will decide whether or not Georgia is
to participate in assistance to the
aged, aid to the needy blind, and aid
to dependent children. The first a
mendment is to amend the constitu
tion so that the state legislature can
appropriate funds to pay the state’s
share of the cost. This amendment
reads as follows: “For ratification of
amendment to paragraph 1, section 1,
article 7, of the constitution, provid
ing assistance to the aged, needy,
blind, and dependent children and oth
er welfare benefits.” The second a
mendment is to allow the counties to
pay their share of the cost and reads
as follows: For ratification of amend
ment to paragraph 2, section 6, arti
cle 7, of the constitution providing for
assistance to the aged, needy, blind,
and dependent children and other wel
fare benefits. It is vitally important
that these two amendments be ap
proved, if the state of Georgia is to
receive its proportionate share of fed
eral funds appropriated by the con
gress for the above purposes. In urg
ing Georgians to pay their poll taxes
immediately and to vote on June 8
for the two amendments authorizing j
the state and counties to use public
funds for public welfare purposes, it
is pointed out that the proposed wel
fare program will not cost the tax
payers any more money than has al
ready been provided for and will to
some extent relieve them of the $2,-
000,000 that state eleemosynary insti
tutions are now costing. According to
the proposed distribution of the to
tal cost of carrying out the old-age
assistance, aid to the needy blind and
aid to dependent children program in
Georgia from July 1, 1937, through
June 30, 1938, the federal government
will spend $3,906,250; the state $2,-
812,500, and the counties $781,250. It
is of interest to note that the $781,-
25C', which represents all the counties
combined share, is only slightly more
than one-half of the $1,367,732.73
that the counties are now spending
for relief of their poor. In addition to
these amounts, already mentioned,
there is an appropriation of $312,500
which may be used for assisting the
poorer counties in meeting their 10
per cent, of the cost. From these fig-
ures it is apparent that instead of
working a hardship on the counties,
the program is relieving them of a
large share of their present expendi
tures for the poor.
It is pointed out that the people of
Georgia are being subjected to taxes
by the federal government without
participation and, as a result, they
overwhelmingly directed in last year’s
primary that this administration
should actually do something about
obtaining these federal benefits and
pay old-age assistance, aid to the
needy blind and aid to dependent chil
dren, to which the people of our state
are entitled. The general assembly
has carried out the wishes of the
people by enacting the necessary laws
and establishing the June Bth general
election whereby the necessary con
stitutional amendments can be adopt
ed. The federal government has ex
amined the Georgia laws and funds
will be sent from Washington imme
diately after the approval of these
amendments on June 8. By establish
ing the June Bth election and passing
the public welfare laws the members
of the general assembly have done all
they can toward Georgia’s participa
tion in the social security bv July 1,
1937, instead of having to wait until
the election in November, 1938. It is
now up to the voters of Georgia to
pay their poll taxes immediately, to
vote for the two amendments on June
8, and thus be assured of Georgia’s
participation by July 1, 1937. The
needy aged of forty-two states, the
needy blind of forty states, and the
dependent children of forty-six states
are now receiving aid.
The approval of the first two a
mendments on the official ballot on
June 8 will insure Georgia’s sharing
the benefits along with these pro
gressive states.
