Why the Opposition?
A CCOJiDING to reports from Salem, vigorous opposition is
developing against the administration'! proposed county
unit school bill.
The measure will probably be introduced Wednesday. It is
difficult to see, why this bill should meet with serious opposition.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Where the county
unit has been tried, a in Klumuth county and elsewhere, it has
been a decided success. The efficiency of school administration
has been raised; expense has been reduced.
Proponents of the measure maintain that if this plan were
universally adopted in the state, it would mean a saving to the
tax-payers of nearly half a million dollars.
Certainly with the expense of education in the state such a
perplexing problem, a move like this toward economy would
appear highly desirable.
TPO date the main objection to the unit plan has been from
small rural communities, which are jealous of their inde
pendence, and do not wish to submit to any outside control. Such
a stand, to say the least, is rather old fashioned. It is an echo
from an educational era that has
ditions of good roads, improved communication and transporta
tion, the problems of education within a county are common
problems. From the standpoint of greater efficiency and greater
economy, cooperation, coordination and standardization are im
perative. LI OWEVER, even if the objections to the county unit plan,
were well taken, it would still be difficult to understand
why the particular bill, introduced at Salem should meet with
any vigorous opposition.
For the measure, if passed, would not FORCE any county
to adopt the unit plan. It would merely give the voters within
a county the right to decide the question for themselves. Home
rule would neither be abrogated nor impaired. Only in those
counties where a majority favored the unit plan, could it be
adopted.
With the success of the county unit plan, a matter of record,
we fail to see any valid objection to giving the people of every
county in the state, at least the privilege of DETERMINING
FOB THEMSELVES, whether they wish to adopt Ci- reject it.

By FRANK JENKINS
"pHE Townsend old-age pension
plan, which proposes to pay all
persons over 60 ft pension of 1200 a
month, with the provision that the
200 must ALL be spent within the
month, has made Its appearance In
congress, and component political
obervers indicate that It has i
chance to pass.
If you want a measure of the prog
reas of unsound economic thinking
in this country, there it Is)
ERE art some cold facts:
t Census records Indicate that
there are some ten million people
over 60 In this country. Two hun
dred dollars a month Is 92400 a year,
Ten million times 2400 Is 24 billion.
That Is to say, It would take 24
'BILLION dollars a year to pay the
Townsend plan old age pensions.
OUT It this way:
Paying the Townsend old age
pensions would be roughly equiva
lent to paying off the national debt
every year.
SOME more figures:
Total national Income In 1029
was estimated at about 00 billion
dollars. What It Is now Is unknown.
Some gueses run aa low as 30 billion
dollars. Other guesses run upwards
of 50 billions.
For this purpose of this compari
son, let us put It at 48 billions.
which la probably high.
Paying the Townsend plan pen
sions. In other words, would take
HALF the national Income
LOOK at this way:
There are roughly 120 mil
lion people In this country. There
are estimated to be approximately
ten million people over the age of
00, and therefore eleglble to receive
Townsend plan pensions.
If the Townsend plan thould be
come a law, ONE-HALF of the na
tional Income would be turned over
to ONE-TENTH of the people.
THE Townsend plan originated In
Los Angeles, where Almee 8cm-
ple McPherson got her start. It's
author Is Dr. F. E. Townsend. a 68-year-old
country physician.
Asked where the money to pro
vide the 24 billions a year would
come from. Dr. Townsend speaks
vaguely of a 10 per cent sales tax.
When reminded that ft 10 per cent
sales tax on present volume of busi
ness would produce less then one-
sixth of the sum needed, he answers
that the spending of the 24 billions
by the ten million pensioners would
produce such vast prosperity that a
tax of 24 billion dollars ft year would
be a mere drop In the bucket.
IT'S the old, old story, you see. that
we can SPEND OURSELVES
RICH. The hard, cold experience of
centuries tells us that we can't spend
ourselves rich, but Dr. Townsend as
sures us blandly that we can.
-
TpHE Townsend plan has become ft
national Issue. Petitions sup
porting It, and calling for Its enact
ment Into law, have been circulated
throughout the country, and It Is
said on what authority this writer
doesn't know that these petitions
contain 30 MILLION names.
WHEN 30 million names or even
half that number. can be se
cured on petitions calling for enact
ment into law of aa wild ft scheme
as the Townsend plan, it certainly
gives us a picture of the extent to
which wild thinking has spread In
this once hard-headed country.
It gives also an Idea of why people
who have a little money are afraid
to Invest It.

postofflce and Imperial airways have
cooperated closely.
An Integral part of the plan Is ft
comprehensive program for ground
organization of air routes on & basis
which will enable services to cater
for passengers as well as mail traf
fic, and operate by night as well as
by day.
As In the past, new types of planes
for these commercial services will be
test flown by factory pilots and by
royal air force teat pilots. Imperial
Airways will pass only on Innovations
in comfort. Interior fittings and
decorations.
Siihslilles May Go l'p.
There is every sign of Increased
air subsidies. The 1034 subsidy was
2.800.000.
Despite the contemplated shorten
ing of time schedules over empire
routes when th new postage rate
goes Into effect, Britain's commercial
air services will concentrate on tons
per mile and not on miles per hour.
The air ministry Intimates that
planes will carry a pay load of from
3.S to 5 tons.
The air ministry believes that when
speed la carried beyond a certain
point It become & secondary con
sideration with air travellers. Espec
ially If the greater part of the 24
hours la spent In actual flight, pas
sengers demand an Increasing degree
of comfort.

IS BELIEVED TO
BE
BOSTON, (UP) Here's another stop
in the search for ft fool-proof air
plane. It's a novel craft being built In
Boston University's department of
aeronautics with the collaboration of
Lieut. Arthur O. B. Metcalf.
The new plane will be able to
land In little more than half the
distance needed by an ordinary plant.
according to Lieutenant Metcalf.
It will be flown aa easily by ft
novice aa a skilled pilot flies ft con
ventional plane. It Is expected that
ft single afternoon will be enough
to teach a beginner to handle thl
new ship with perfect safety.
"This new plane will entirely elim
inate the need for ft highly developed
sense of co-ordination and flying in
stinct," says the lieutenant. "This
new development will not detract
from the efficiency or speed of the
plane."
Lieutenant Metcalf believes many
accidents attributed to poor piloting
are due to defects in design, and
that these may be eliminated with
out radical changes.
The department of aeronautics re
cently has been added to the Col
lege of Business Administration, mak
ing Boston University the only New
England Institution, except Massa
chusetts Institute of Technology, to
offer courses in aeronautical engin
eering.
