Old Age Pensions
OXE of the first duties of the 1935 legislature should be to
amend the present state old age pension law, so that it
will no longer be a snide and a sham.
The present law provides pensions, but it provides no money
with which to pay them, The law is also so hedged about with
red tape and restrictions, that its benefits, even where money
has been made available, can be enjoyed by only a small per
centage of those rightfully entitled to them.
The Mail Tribune has become convinced that the principle
of old age pensions is sound, not only from a humanitarian
but from an economic standpoint. If financed by contributions
from business and payrolls, assisted by liquor revenues, such
a system will not add to the present tax burden, and at the
same time will go far toward securing a permanent and satis
factory solution of the unemployment problem.
If all people over' 60 or 65 years of age were provided for
today in Jackson county, the local relief problem would be
relatively easy to solve. And as business conditions improve
the approach to no serious relief problem at all, would be greatly
accelerated. .
. This paper is convinced that some practical and adequate
system of old age pensions is an essential feature of a "new deal"
not only in this state but throughout the country; not Only as a
relief measure during the depression, but as a permanent feature
of a new social and economic set-up.

George Creel and Townsend Plan
TTTE hope those who favor the Townsend old age pension
plan and many do will read the statement by George
Creel m Tuesday's paper, and also his article in this week's
Saturday Evening Post.
Mr. Creel is an enthusiastic New Dealer and even listed by
California conservatives as a "radical."
But he is opposed to the Townsend plan because he regards
it as impractical; and from a sound financial standpoint, im
possible. He lists it among those visionary projects which Presi
dent Roosevelt recently deplored, because they raise false hopes
of relief in the hearts and minds of deserving people, and their
net result therefore is only to increase disillusion and despair.
....
JlR. CREEL in his Post article clearly shows that the Towns
end plans providing $200 per month for every person
reaching the age of 60 ($400 a month for a couple), would re
quire an expenditure of $2,000,000,000 a month or $24,000,000,.
000 a year1! To finance this huge amount would require retail
sales aggregating 240 billions for the Townsend proposal is to
be financed by imposing a national 10 sales tax. The total
retail sales in this country amount to something" like $32,000,.
000,000 a year, so a ten percent sales tax would yield, $3,200,
000,000, or only enough to finance such an old age pension sys
tem for about a month and a half I '
Attacking the scheme from another angle the author shows
the TOTAL income of all the people in this country last year
was less than $40,000,000,000. As less than TEN percent of all
the people arc over 60, this Townsend plan would thus give
more than HALF of the total income of the United States to
only 10 of the people. . "
a .
IF this opposition to the Townsend plan came from an ultra
1 conservative or reactionary source, it might be discounted
as the product of prejudice against all progressive or humani
tarian legislation.- But it conies from a pronounced liberal, a
strong supporter of President Roosevelt, and an uncompromis
ing advocate of the social and economic reforms of the New
Deal.
NEWSPAPER men must be lucky

GOOO BYE TO GOOD 01-0 GARGLE
Inconsistent people teach or believe
that what they call "colds" are .-lit a
to bad weather, dampness or drafts,
yet advise or use
antiseptic gargles
for prevention or
treatment.
Granting an an
tiseptic solution
destroys s e r m s
the popular prac
tice of using an
antiseptic gargle
la really altruis
tic. It tenda to
prevent the
spread ol the Infection to other per
sons. So far as such treatment con
cerns sore throat, rhinitis or what
ever the ailment may be, one might
as well use the medicine to wash
down the sink. The germs causing
the sore throat have Invaded the
tissues and are beyond the reach of
any antiseptic. However, members
of the Wiseacre family derive a sense
of righteousness from gargling, as
they do from a mid-week bath.
Gargling is not only painful but
objectionable when there Is a severe
sore throat. It la objectionable be
cause It Btlrs up things when, In
the presence of acute Inflammation,
absolute rest Is Indicated.
An instructive stuay of the value
of garbling has been made by Drs.
William Snow and J. E. Stern, who
made a series of X-ray films of sub
jects In the act of gargling with a
thin liquid suspension of barium su'
phate (which gives an X-ray shad
ow). Some gargled violently: some
Just tilted the head backward to al-;
low the liquid to run as far back-1
ward as possible without gargling.
The pictures showed that with all
three methods of gargling the tongue
Is firmly pressed against the soft pal
ate In such a position that the liquid
cannot reach the anterior pillar,
those folds of mucous membrane
bordering the tonsils In front. Only
when a subject Interrupted hla garg
ling to take a breath of air, did a
small stream of the liquid leak past
the pillars to be swallowed.
The same Investigators observed the
effect of Irrigation. The liquid was
allowed to run through tubing from
a container 18 Inches above the level
of the mouth, from a narrow Irri
gating nozzle or tip. X-ray films of
this showed that the liquid thorough
ly bathed the entire surface of the
throat and the apace behind the
nasal passages as well; In fact, some
of the fluid escaped through the
nose. With this method the swal
lowing reflex was not Invoked.
So It 1 time to say good bye to
gargling.
Many good physicians have long
since made a practice of prescribing
gravity Irrigation Instead of gargling
Irrigation la always more effective
for children with nose or throat in
fections, such as scarlet fever, diph
theria, tonsllltls, rhinitis or sinus
itis. To the uninitiated It la aston
ishing how tolerant a sick child, even
an Infant. Is to Irrigation through
the nostril. The agreeably warm me
dlclnal solution la simply allowed to
run gently Into one nostril and re
turn through the opposite nostril as
the child lies on one side, then the
other.

I.V his pronouncement of Tuesday last published in the Mail
Tribune, Mr. Creel called on the Democratic party of Cali
fornia to heed the growing dissatisfaction and discontent in
that state, as exemplified by the vote for Epic and Upton Sin
clair. He stressed tho fact this vote was not a Mcrriam victory
as much as it was a Sinclair defeat ; not in any sense a reaction
ary verdict, but only a repudiation of unsound schemes of social
reform. And in the following statement Mr. Creel enunciated
a most important truth:
"To atlgmatlr.e Justifiable unrest aa communism, and to
attempt to evade conslderatlona of economlo Ills and abuses by "
framing a red ecare la cruel, dishonest and Incredibly stupid."
Mr. Creel favors an old age pension system, as well as some
plan of unemployment insurance. His quarrel with the Towns
end plan is that it goes too far, holds out roseate hopes that
can't be realized and therefore to advocate it only delays the
time w hen a sound and workable old ago pension program can
be made available to the people of that state and the country.
We believe that all people who will carefully study the
details of the Townsend plan, and the present financial condi
tion of this country, will come to the same conclusion, that the
Townsend plan "listens well" but that in actual practice, it
can't be made to work.
