TirrnsnAT. october 21. 143 > 9 School Children To Join Thrift Campaign f Advantages of Pension Plan Are Explained 1 I By Ella H. Is-onard By C. H. Musher The Townsend plan is a program for guaranteeing full and continuing use of all America's vast industrial and agricultural productive capaci ties, with thoughtful conservation of natural resources. It unplaceable proposes to do this by creating and maintaining an American cash mar- ket for all the goods and services this nation Is capable of producing. This cash market would be created by keeping the purchasing power of all citizens at high level. Briefly the Townsend Plan would levy a 3 percent tax upon the gross Incomes ot all Individuals, partner ships, business concerns and corpora tions, exempting the first $100 a month in personal Incomes. Revenue from such a tax would be distributed among citizens who by virtue of age (60), chronic illness or accident are unemployable, and included among citizens who shall share this distribu tion, are mothers with dependent children, blind and cripples. Each cltzen to share in this distri bution monthly, must meet two coa • ditions: (1) they must not be gain fully employed; (2) they shall spend each month's installment of the an nuity within 30 days of its receipt. Pensions will be paid immediately but the spending clause will not be come operative until six months af ter the war. With the Townsend plan in opera tion more than 10 percent of the population-—aged, handicapped and mothers with dependent children— will be removed from competition for jobs. The position they might otherwise seek will be left open to the younger and physically fit. With the Townsend Plan In opera tion the aged and handicapped will constitute a tremendous buying mar ket with guaranteed monthly mass purchasing power. The demand for goods and services thus created will keep the factories and farms at full production making even more Jobs available for the young and physical ly fit. No one would be compelled to ac cept or qualify for the plan annui ties but it will be there for any one who needs it.
