HALL MAUDE POOL Editor and Publisher Applegate Editor PHONE JACKSONVILLE 141 Address All Communications to Box 138 Subscription Kates, In Advance: One Year_______ $1.00 Six Months 50c I Dr, Townsend's ‘Medicine’ (Continued from page one) But it is a certainty which cannot be de nied that if Townsend's scheme will give some people $10 where they only pay out $1. then there will be an equal num ber of people who it will cost $10 for every $1 they gain from the plan. That is economics of the simplest kind. The Townsend plan as written would place a premium on all those traits and indolences which we have been trained for a lifetime to avoid. The government would provide a certain future for us which would take the place of individual ambition and effort to get ahead and to care for ourselves. Two hundred dollars a month easy money would say “What’s the use of saving and providing for a rainy day—Mr. Townsend and the good taxpayers have done it for us.” It was easy money, money which was unearned, that in 1929 led directly to the depres sion. And, as Clark Wood so aptly puts it, every dollar one man receives with out earning it, someone else must earn. Taken as a whole, those most enthus iastic backers of the Townsend old age pension plan today are the same people who have been the most chronic cussers of high taxes and special privilege. But, believe it or not, they are endeavoring to realize a pension plan which would in crease taxes as no single thing has ever done before, and to create the greatest special privilege class in history. If money to pay the Townsend plan were to be raised by a sales tax, it still would have to come from the ultimate con sumer, as all taxes do. And speaking of special privilege, the man or woman who had done nothing else in their lives but dodge the Grim Reaper’s scythe at 60 would enter the magical world of the most extreme special privilege in the history of this country. Just what would the Townsend old age pension plan accomplish, if enacted? Simply because much sympathy can be stirred up for the old folks is no proof that it lies within their silvered hands to halt depression and unemployment. But, if the old folks had EARNED an income of $200 a month for their old age, then that WOULD help if they spent it- But to give a person money to spend they didn’t earn means that the person who EARNS that $200 a month will have to see someone else spend it. The Miner is in favor of providing for every person’s legitimate needs who is in want and powerless to help themselves. There can be no argument against that. But $200 a month to everyone over 60 is not the answer to the need. The ONLY REASON advanced for giving the old folks more than they actually need— $200 a month—is that it will cure the depression, end crime, stop poverty and abolish charity. But how can the Townsend plan abol ish charity when it is nothing but char ity itself? How can it cure the depression by making the masses work for the aged LEGAL NOTICES In the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Jackson County J. H. BUTLER. Plaintiff, VS.

D. HARRIS and GEORGE A PRE-CHRISTMAS PRAYER By J. C. REYNOLDS In the Air ■ In apprehension and dismay, I wait the dawn of Christmas day. "Dear Lord,’’ my earnest prayer ascends, “Deliver me from female friends, Who at this season of the year Afflict me with queer necktie gear. Dear Lord! of neckties I avow. I have above a hundred now, Which female followers of this craze Have sent on former Christmas days; Of every color, size and shape From flaming red to sombre crepe; And out of all these ties I’ve got There’s not a good one in the lot. Not one in all the bunch. I swear, A self-respecting gent could wear And so, with other useless junk, They’re hid from sight within my trunk Till at some moment, not far hence I’ll trade them a;l for thirty cents. And as the date draws near, my head Grows heavy wit h a sickening dread; For. judging by ¿he years before. They’ll send at least two dozen more. Oh Lord deliver me, I pray. From necktie givers, Christinas day.” so the aged can spend the money buying what the masses make? An old person taken off the payroll and given $200 a montn for not working will draw twice or more as much as the person who goes to work in his place. How does THAT help unemployment? The old folks will be able to buy so many things—they say—that there will oe more work, better pay, but: If the Town send plan w'ill enable old people to buy things they couldn’t afford before, then the fellow paying the bill will be able to buy LESS. Where is improvement for the country in that? Old Doc Townsend reverted to one of the most foolish evils of his profession of a few years ago. He concocted a cure- all, a patent medicine which just can’t fail to remedy the nation’s worst faults. How very nice, how very noble and ad mirable. But the "wonderful” medicine is nothing but an impractical, impossible hope flavored with a convincing blend of necessity and maudlin sympathy. As far as getting out of the depres sion is concerned, every six months finds us farther along the road to normal times; business is picking up, unemploy ment is on the wane and we are making definite progress toward complete, wholesome recovery. Dr. Townsend should know that a very sick patient of necessity must spend time convalescing, and to hop him up with a drug to speed recovery would prove dangerous. The nation is building up steadily and certainly from an econ omic sickness. There are no drugs—ir- regardless of what Dr. Townsend recom mends—which will completely cure a very sick nation on short notice. A lot more would be accomplished in the way of caring for the old folks in need if we will settle down to considering practicable, sensible plans and forget this Utopian idea of rewarding every 60- year-old with $200 a month. Dr. Townsend is stirring up a lot of grief and disappointment in the nation; fanning fabulous hopes and inciting ar gument and a dogmatic unreasonable ness, for which government will suffer in the end, without having helped any one. Any plan whioh seeks to provide for old people’s NEEDS will find a ready and willing champion in The Miner. But this paper is surprised to find level headed, sane people by the hundreds for getting their reason and booming an im possible, impracticable and extravagant Townsend old age pension plan. B.
