do not constitute life-long pensions once they are granted, but are subject to be changed or withdrawn entirely, as the need of the person changes, according to a statement issued by Miss Auberrie Milliken, county secretary-director of the state social security commission in Webster county, who has just received a bulletin, emphasizing this point, from George I. Haworth, state administrator. "Assistance grants in the first place are made on a basis of absolute need -that is, when the applicant has no other means of supplying himself with the necessities of life," said Mr. Haworth. "A person who meets the legal cations, and whose resources are not enough to feed, clothe, and shelter him decently and in health, is granted a monthly check, amount of which is based upon the difference between what he needs and what he has." "However, each case will be reviewed from time to time, and the amount of assistance will be increased, decreased, or withdrawn entirely, in relation to any change that may have occurred in the financial circ*mstances of the recipient." "In this manner each person is cared for according to his individual needs, with a minimum of waste and a maximum of efficiency." In a talk to district supervisors of the state social security commission last week, Governor Lloyd C.
Stark demanded that the Old Age Assistance rolls be purged of "chiselers" and "cheaters." "You all know the unfavorable publicity Missouri has received as a result of the large number of persons who are being carried on the Old Age Assistance rolls," Gov. Stark said. "The state constitution says such assistance shall be confined to persons "who are inI capacitated from earning a livelihood are and without means of "Notwithstanding this plain language, it is charged that Old Age Assistance has become somewhat of a 'racket' in this state, and that many 'chiselers' and 'cheaters' are on the rolls. It is your duty to see that every unworthy, claimant is removed from the rolls, so the dereceive their just dues and be propserving and worthy old a people may erly takec nare of. I have given instructions to Mr.
Haworth to see that this is done, and he will hold those working under him responsible for results." Gov. Stark again emphasized the necessity of children who are able to do so, contributing to the support of parents and thus keeping them off the Old Age Assistance and relief rolls. He said checkup is being made and in counties showing more than a normal number of Old Age Assistance claimants, the lists may made public He cautioned against discourtesy or unfairness and urged that the work of reinvestigators now under way be pushed with all speed.

LEA, Editors and Publishers 1938 in $2.00 Webster Outalde County: Webster Abc County. mix montha: $1.50 Year 50e 6, three months. Strictly Cash in Advance. Editorial al The same New Dealers who complain and have a lot to say about Webster county getting into debt (which it has for several years) are the ones who want the county court to donate to the social security setup, to WPA projects and other New Deal agencies. Of course the cornerstone of the New Deal is to spend money that you haven't got, to spend yourself into prosperity, to bring prosperity by destroying wealth, to make the farmers prosperous by plowing up crops and killing pigs, etc.
But it has not been explained yet just how the plan works. However, it is just a simple matter of common arithmetic to it out that if the county is to get out of debt it must cut its expenses. The only way to cut expenses is to stop spending. Whether it be the National government, the state government or the county government, or any individual person, it is just as true that to get out of debt and to stay out of debt one must live within one's income. That is what Webster county has got to do, and we believe that the present county court has come to that conclusion.
The coming year is likely to see a number of cuts in county expenditures, and all thinking people will not only endorse this policy, but commend the court for going on a truly economical program.
