WHERE IS IT COMING FROM?
Director Harry Hopkins of the federal relief administration, conferred yesterday in Washington with Governor Johnston of South Carolina, and reiterated his earlier statement that 'unless this state can put up $2,600,000 to match federal funds, the state will be cut off from federal relief.'
A Washington dispatch indicates that Johnston was able to get little satisfaction from his conference with the federal relief administrator, and about the net result of the talk seems to have been Hopkins' assertion that "we are still looking for that money," meaning South Carolina's share of the burden is providing for the needy persons of this state.
It looks as if Johnston and the state relief administration face something of a dilemma in the matter of relief. Just where two and a half millions of dollars will come from to match federal grants is a question we seriously doubt if the governor himself is able to answer. The taxpayers are carrying about all they can stand at this time with the present budget requirements of the state and to add an additional burden of two and one-half millions when Johnston, who has only been in the governor's chair little more than three months, promised the taxpayers an economical administration, would certainly put something of a crimp in Johnston's economy plans. - The Anderson, S. C., Record.
