Pension Plan
Gets Support
Author of IIR 1499 States
Objections Removed
From new Plan
Improvements over earlier
drafts of the Townsend pension
plan, embodied In House Resolu
tion 4199, have removed all of
the valid objections to the pro
gram and brought It widespread
support among all classes of cit
izens. It was contended by Arthur
L. Johnson, author of the resolu
tion, in an address before a large
crowd at the Salem chamber of
commerce luncheon Monday noon.
The plan as now set up with a
2 per cent gross income tax would
provide pensions of approximately
$60 a month, possibly as low as
53 a month in the beginning,
Johnson said. These pensions
would be no more than sufficient
to support the elderly people in
comfort. The resolution ' as now
drafted would not compel the
beneficiaries to spend all the mon
ey within a month. '
Simplicity Advantage .
It would apply to approximately
eight million people, about half
of whom would be removed from
gainful occupation to make room
for that many of the younger un
employed I the ' speaker said. It
would have the advantage of sim
plicity and economy . of adminis
tration over present social secur
ity legislation, which, the speaker
criticized because of the piling up
of large reserves unnecessarlfy.
Attacks California Plan 1
Johnson, formerly ' connected
with the California labor commis
sion, attacked the "$30 every
Thursday" scheme now on the
ballot in that state, as unconsti
tutional and one of the "crack
pot" Ideas that are harming the
general welfare' act cause. .J
The speaker "was introduced by
Congressman James W. Mott, who
praised the welfare act program
and declared that much misunder
standing had arisen because of the
early mention of a $200 a month
pension, which never was includ
ed in any of the bills except brief
ly in the first draft of the Mc
Groarty bill. Mott was active in
drafting later measures on the
subject which were before con
gress. '
Two Pedestrians
Injured by Auto
Elderly - Women Receive
Leg Fractures, Cuts;
Driver not Held
Two elderly Salem women, Mrs'.
Alice B. Frizzell and sister, Mar
garet B. McFadden, are undergo
ing hospital treatment at the Sa
lem General as a result of injur
ies sustained about 8:30 Sunday
night when a car driven by Wei-,
lington W. Hill of Corvallis struck
them 3own at the Intersection of
Summer and Center streets. ,
Hospital officials said last night
both women were convalescing
nicely. Mrs. Frizzell has a com
pound fracture of the right' leg
and severe body bruises, while
Miss McFadden also has a frac
tured leg, several fractured ribs
and numerous bruises and abra
sions. !
Hill, who was not held by. po
lice, told them he was driving
west on Center street at a speed
of not over 30 miles per hourjand
was partially blinded by the lights
of an oncoming car as he swjung
but to miss another car wiich
had stopped in the intersection.

Is Best Ever.
'"i . ,
; "Both from. the standpoint i. of

. Judge Jones gained distinction
when he was appointed tyler du
ring the convention and. assigned

appointment gained him a van
tage point from . which to view

and the drill team.
"Dr. Fred Dilley, of Brazil, In
diana, who was elected grand
worthy president, is an exception
ally fine man," said Jones, "and
his election was especially grati
fying to me."
The order's parade, which took
place August 14, numbered bet
ter than 13,000, according to
Jones. The day was hot, as was
his entire stay in the east, reports
Jones. 4
"While I had no opportunity to
inquire into business conditions,"
Jones said, "anti-new deal senti
ment was prevalent and many ex
pressed interest in forthcoming
elections on our coast."
