Farmers Demand Lower Wages For Relief Workers
Dallas relief chief R S Shelton urges the Texas relief and rehabilitation commission to cut the 30 cent an hour R F C wage in rural areas. Farmers say higher pay draws workers from farm jobs and threaten relief funding. Shelton supports tying wages to local labor rates and warns unemployed men refusing private jobs may lose relief. He will forward the request to Washington for approval.

Modern Parable of the Cow
A newspaper reprint tells of ten financiers who buy a cow yielding ten gallons daily. They sell shares to others at ten dollars each, promising milk for all, then divide profits among themselves while the public seeks a larger share. The tale mirrors private gain versus public milk.
The Cow Share Scheme Ends In A Milky Fraud
Ten men each owned shares in a cow, starting with one share apiece. They expanded to fifty one shares, then realized the scheme would fail as milk per share plummeted. They sold shares to raise five thousand dollars, then used proxies to control votes and appoint themselves as leaders with salaries of one gallon a day, milking the cow in the end.
