News
By D. D. Davis
Since Hie Townsend Movement is
often referred to us an “Ism" let’s
puuse tor a tew moments and dis
cuss the peculiar characteristics of
tliis “Ism". First it is Hie one truly
»00 per cent American “ism". It is
,o tar removed in spirit from any
other isms Hint it cannot he con-
. used with Inem. It differs witn
ociuiiMii, Communism, Fascism
ii'd Nuzi-ism in Huit it is based eq-
irely upon the philosophy of plen
ty. It is directly opposed to the
philosophy of scarcity. It opposes
lie idea of curtailed production, the
.urning under of crops to keep pric
es up, the payments of money to
.ny one for not raising livestock.
It contends tliut witli money freely
.n circulation tliut tile demand for
all products will he 'ol such vol
ume us to make it no longer neces-
tary to curtail production in any
field of industry, this including
.arm products. It believes in abun
dant wealth for everyone. The
’renter is tlie wealth of the busi
ness man, the large and small cor
porations, Hie small business man,
the carpenter, contrartor, painter
plumber, furmer and what not, the
greater will lie the prosperity of all.
Townsendism is not opposed to
wealth or large incomes. It hopes
to make it possible for this wealth
to he more equally distributed, so
that all will enjoy his or her share
of this wealth. It proposes to bring
tliis uhout through its system of
forced monthly spending by those
who have reached the age of sixtv
or over anil who will voluntarily
retire from gainful employment. It
hopes to make the business man in
every field of business more pros
perous than he is today or than he
ever expected to be. It expects to
move from the shelves and ware
houses of every merchant and man
ufacturer those goods that today
lie as "stagnated” goods because of
the lack of buying power on the
part of the public. It proposes to
put the factories to work making
new merchandise to replace these
goods that arc sold. It proposes to
put back to work the millions of
idle workers who will be needed Io
replace these stocks that have been
sold. It will do it. 11 will create a
demand for those articles in the up
per brackets, such as radios, re
frigerators, modern electrical ap
pliances, washing machines, iron-
ers, automobiles, furniture, bedding,
clothing, carpets, vncuum cleaners
and wearing apparel of every kind.
In short Mr. Business Man this is
in reality a 100 per cent business
man’s “ism” nnd if anyone should
get behind the Townsend “ism" it
is surely the business man.
The Townsend Plan does not and
never has promoted the idea of a
$209 monthly itension to start with.
The «200 "annuity” so designated
by Townsend is to be the top or
limit to which these annuities may
go. Il is expected that the 'first re
turns from the Gross Income Tax
will return about $50,000.000 the
first month and this prorated a-
mong the people sixty or over will
yield approximately $55 to $60 the
first month. This nmount to grad
ually increase each month ns busi
ness expands until at some futurp
time, not yet determined it will
yield do the old folks their maxi
mum lop limit of $200 per month.
The Townsend Plan will do this,
so Mr. American Citizen whoever
you nre it Is to your benefit to get
