'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,

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

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.

assistant manager of the Pacific
branch office, will be the speaker
for the Red Cross annual meet

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;

was the case with former outlook1,
conferences held periodically since
1924, will be under the general di-!
rection of tha extension service of

rector. The plan is to bring the mem-1
bers of the general committee and i

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.

calls for the first meeting to be
held on January 29, with O. T.
