...That is already happening. Senate Finance Chairman Robert Dole of Kansas announced last week that his Democratic counterpart in the House, Dan Rostenkowski of Illinois, had agreed to support legislation to end the tax leasing proviso that allows money-losing companies to sell their depreciation credits to profitable firms. Leasing would cost the Treasury about $27 billion over five years, and is virtually certain to be repealed...

Said the mayor of Toledo: "I have seen thousands of these defeated, discouraged, hopeless men and women cringing and fawning as they come to ask for public aid." Entirely different from Hopkins' organization in purpose and style was the Public Works Administration, operated by Harold Ickes, the cigar-waving and curmudgeonly Secretary of the Interior, who was determined to make every dollar produce an honest dollar's worth of Government building.
