THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON Page Two. 'Paycheck or Pension' Plan Launched in California Bv JOHN W. DUNLAP SACRAMENTO, Cal., Jan. 1. (U.R) California citizens were con fronted today with a pension plan to end all pension plans, con ceived by. the, same Los Angeles promoters who tried vainly to put over their "ham and eggs" plan to pay oldsters $30-every-Thursday. ; The new slogan is a "paycheck or a pension." t Lawrence Allen, co-founder of the twice-defeated ham and eggs proposal, said the new "payroll guarantee association" wanted: 1. A pension of $10 a week for every unemployed resident of the state between 21 and 50 until the person it able to get a lob paying at least $16 a week. 2. A pension of $20 a week for persons over 65 years of age, whether employed or not. The association filed articles of incorporation with the secretary of state today. Allen said peti tions would be circulated shortly to place an initiative on the ballot at the next general election, Meeting On Farm Outlook, Defense To Be Held Here &cflRD7 In Full Swing!

J. Both are pupils in schools at itutnenora, a quiet commuters' community whose children consistently show intelligence quotient averages higher than the nation's average. which would order the legislature to put the new plan in operation. California voters are becoming accustomed to unusual proposals on the ballot, but the ham and eggs pension became such an is sue in 1938 that even President Roosevelt condemned the plan. Pension votes helped elect both Gov. Culbert L. Olson and U. S. Senator Sheridan Downey and the pension itself polled a million votes, not quite enough for vic tory. Olson called a special election in 1939 and opposed the plan. The issue lost by a million votes and since has declined in. Impor tance. The pension promoters tried to recall the governor and later narrowly missed qualify ing the plan for a third trial on the ballot. The ham and eggs plan prom ised $30 weekly pensions to those over 60, financed by a transac tions tax and stamp scrip. The new corporation has many former ham and egg leaders as directors, including Allen, his brother, Willis; Roy G. Owens and Will N. Kindig. One of many purposes listed was to "seek leg islation for social, financial, mon etary and economic reforms." ' Miss Davenport To Go To San Francisco Miss Dorothea Davenport, exe cutive secretary of the Lane coun ty chapter of the American Red Cross, leaves Saturday for San Francisco, where she will spend a month at the national office. During the first two weeks, she will attend a conference of Red Cross field workers, and during the second half of her stay, will work in the national office. Spe cial emphasis is being placed this year on the duty of the Red Cross to the army and navy. Lane coun ty's number of cases concerning service men is now about three times the normal number. In Miss Davenport's absence, Miss Dorothy Barthelemy will be in charge of the local office. Henry Baker, of San Francisco, assistant manager of the Pacific branch office, will be the speaker for the Red Cross annual meet ing, set for Monday, January 13. A state-wide series of meetings reaching all . -.unties in Oregon on the general subject of "The Agri cultural Outlook and Its Relation- , ship to National Preparedness."' has just been announced by Wil liam A. Schoenfeld, dean and di rector of agriculture at Oregon; State college. The new series, as' was the case with former outlook1, conferences held periodically since 1924, will be under the general di-! rection of tha extension service of which Schoenfeld is director and William L. Teutsch is assistant di rector. The plan is to bring the mem-1 bers of the general committee and i these four sub-committees to-1 gether in each county rather than; to hold large mass meetings. These j .committee members, together with! tl.e representatives of 4-H clubs,! AAA committ? 3, soil conservation j district supervisor- and so forth, will devote themselves to the fol-; lowing three subjects: : 1. To study past recommenda tions in the light of changing world conditions. ; 2. To recommend such further adjustments in the county's agri culture and in conditions affecting farm home and rural life as seen1 desirable. 3. To consider the contribution which rural people can make to ward national preparedness. The schedule for Lane county calls for the first meeting to be held on January 29, with O. T. McWhorter, horticultural special it, assisting O. S. Fletcher, county agricultural agent, R. C. Kuehner, county club leader and other ex tension vorkers.
