Delay of 1931 tag purchase is overruled
Columbus, Dec 22. State Rep Charles E Justus urged a time extension for 1931 automobile license tag purchases to aid the unemployed but Motor Vehicle Commissioner Chalmers R Wilson overruled it. The law requires tag purchase by January 1 with no recent extensions, and Wilson noted more 1931 tags have sold this year than in any prior year. He argued the extension would not boost gas tax receipts and would not aid winter state employment.

Will Rogers cites resilience amid unemployment
Will Rogers argues Americans endure hardship and wait for Congress to fund jobs. He notes many were jobless last year while Congress debated, but the public ultimately supported employment funding and "fooled the government."
Unemployment Fund Suggested for Industrial Plants
McGrady proposes raising funds through employer and government contributions with the government taking about 50 percent from income and inheritance taxes. He equates the plan to unemployment insurance, arguing workers deserve employment security equal to stockholders' dividend security and that reserves should safeguard workers during industry downturns.
