| | Unemployment insurance, financed by a federal payroll tax paid in equal parts by employers and employees, was established as a joint federal-state program. | | | An old-age pension system was set up to be administered by the federal government and financed by taxes on both employers and employees. | | | The effect of the Roosevelt recession was to convince many people that the administration did not have any magic formula for prosperity and that the earlier recovery had been based on the government spending more money than it collected. |

| | At the request of the federal emergency relief administration, the by-laws of the homestead corporation were amended to reflect that the homestead corporation was an agency of the federal emergency relief administration. | | | When the federal court determined that the federal government did not have the authority to continue to control the assets of the corporation, officers of the corporation, rather than the state, filed the application requesting return of the assets of the corporation. | | | The corporation was formed at the request of the federal government to perform functions which the state could not undertake. |
