ALMS OF TOWNSEND PLAN
Following are the aims of the Town
send Plan as stated in the National
Townsend Weekly, official newspaper
of the movement;
To provide security for all persons
who reach the age of 60 years to live on
an American standard of living.
To remove from competitive labor a
sufficient number of citizens to afford
opportunity for all employables.
To provide a constant purchasing
power for the products of American fac
tories. industries, agriculture and ser
vices.
To maintain a balance between con-
supmption and production that will end
all depressions.
To protect and preserve all rights,
traditions and customs which have been
established as true Americanism.
To stimulate ambitions and offer in
centives to further progress and devel
opment of higher standards of living.
To reduce crime by destroying the
conditions which breed crime.
To furnish opportunity to the young
for fullest use of their talents and abil
ity.
To safeguard the American home as
the unit of modern civilization.
To reduce the terrific burden of tax
ation caused by public and private char
ity, by growth of crime, by waste, by
maintenance of public institutions that
would be rendered unnecessary by in
creased demands for products and ser
vices.
To compel the constant circulation of
money and obtain the certain result of
better homes.
To constantly raise the standards of
living to the levels possible under inven
tion and modern methods of mass pro
duction and distribution.

ties at public expense. It then spends
millions of dollars through state agen
cies, private industry, public develop
ments and relief agencies, in an effort
to stimulate renewed business activity.
But what happens? All this money finds
its way back into the banks from which
it was originally drawn, in less than five
turn-overs, and the freezing procss goes
on again.
“As far as we can see, there is only
V
one solution to the problem open. The
control of credit and currency issues
should be returned to the government
where it rightfully belongs. As a begin
ning we offer the suggestion that post
al savings banks be opened to checking
accounts and their deposit privileges en
larged. The United States Postal Sav
ings Banks could be opened in all first
second and third class post offices in
the country, subject of course, to laws,
rules and regulations laid down by the
government. The postmaster general
would be the head of the banks, assisted
by a banking board including represen
tatives of the financial branches of the
government service.

OREGON ARCHITECTS
In our opinion Governor Martin is ex
actly right in opposing the hiring of
outside architects for Oregon’s new cap-
itol. This state has plenty of talent in
the architect line, and the home talent is
much more imbued with the spirit and
traditions of the state than could pos
sibly be any outsiders. Oregon also has
abundant materials, and the governor is
opposed to buying materials outside. He
stresses the need for more teamwork
among the citizens, which is also an ex
cellent idea.
