Relief Bill Controversy, 1939
Governor Olson proposed an emergency measure to provide $20 million in unemployment relief. LTB was vocal in opposition to the measure.
LTB spoke to the American Taxpayers & Business Men's Association, bluntly warning that if California didn't soon cut its operating costs, it would go bankrupt. "Bashore is a stand-out public official. He calls everything by its right name." He is a "young, fearless, plain spoken, blunt man."

LTB was appointed chairman of the Assembly interim committee on unemployment relief to try to find an affordable alternative to the Democrat's $20 million relief bill. "We will ask industry to take over the load, with the definite understanding that these workers will not displace present employees and that the employers will not cut wages," said Bashore.
