Roosevelt vs.
FOLLOWING a mass meeting of Townsend plan supporters
in Los Angeles Sunday night a telegram was sent president
Roosevelt, demanding he endorse the pliin, and thus fulfill his
pledge to bring prosperity and social security to the people of
this country.
Does anyone suppose for a minute President Roosevelt would
NOT endorse this Townsend old ae pension plan, if he be
lieved it would DO, what its enthusiastic supporter's maiutain'
What earthly reason would he have for opposing itt
No one more strongly desires the return of prosperity than
lie. No one is more anxious to secure social security and a fairer
distribution of wealth, than the President of the United States.
President Roosevelt also wants to be re-elected. He probably
CAN'T be re-elected unless a nearer approach to normal pros
perity is realized, than now obtains-. He certainly wants business
recovery, and is working night and day, toward that end.
HOW then, can one ex plain the President's refusal to en
dorse the Townsend plan, which its author maintains, will
return prosperity to this country overnight, and bring not only
security but affluence, to every man, woman and child in the
landt
t
X'lIKRE is only one explanation. President Roosevelt does
not believe the plan will work. He is convinced, and every
adviser he has, is convinced, that it won't work.
He knows there are thousands of people in favor of the
plan, people who are perfectly sincere and honest in their
attitude toward it, and ho deplores the fact that these people
have, been, and are today, deluded by those who have held be
fore them the vision of sudden wealth, permanent economic
security, and an abundant life, secured merely by the passage
of a $200 per month old age pension plan.
He deplores this fact. He dislikes to disillusion them but he
must sooner or later tell them the truth. He can't, as President
of this country, give his endorsement to a scheme, which sounds
well and appeals to thousands, but which he knows won't
STAND UP in the light of past experience, and under the
fundamental laws of modern economics.
BKLIEVK if some of these good people, who attended
this mass meeting in Los Angeles, would think this phase
of the problem over carefully, they might m'ore quickly come
to see the light, and thus avoid many heartaches and disap
pointments later on.
If they still have faith in the honesty and integrity and true
liberalism of their President, then the fact that he does NOT
approve of this plan, claimed to give this country everything,
he is working so hard to achieve, should give them pause.
. Certainly the President believes in and has endorsed obi age
pensions. If he believed that merely increasing tho monthly
benefit from .fill) or $40 a month to $:!00 and making its expend
iture compulsory, would eliminate poverty in this country, and
immediately produce an economic millenium, can any reason
able person believe for a moment he would not favor it!
TTTE REALIZE discussing the merits and demerits of the
" Townsend old age pension plan does Utile good. But. we
DO believe that a calm, fair minded analysis of precisely why
President Roosevelt refuses to endorse the plan would go far
toward showing many of the measure's supporters, why the
vision invoked by Dr. Townsend, alluring as it is, will never
come true.

Haven't Oot the Money
"We haven't got the money, and if
we start this thing there will be no
end to It," said Qovernor Martin.
Rejection of the requests for new
automobiles brought to light the fact
that the board haa inder considera
tion a plan for pooling state auto

on official business of making the
cars of on department or employe,
when not In official use, available for
the use of another department or

Holman ventured the Information
that a survey he had conducted re
vealed that the state bought 160 au
tomobiles last year, which elicited
from the governor the comment that
"we wilt have to curb this abuse."
"I have been Informed that state

Ql KSTIONS AND ANSWERS
Porter
Has porter any medical value? What
Is Its alcoholic content? (P. B.)
Answer. No. It contains 5 per cent
alcohol.
Sulphur and Molasses
In making Sulphur and Molasses
do you add water? Should you take
It before and after meals? (D. P.)
Ans. -No, Just mix about equal
quantities of flowers of sulphur pow
der with the molasses. Better tske It
only at bedtime. It Is merely a mild
laxative, with no other remedial ef
fects, so far as I know.
Surgeon's Knot
You once referred to the difference
between a surgeon's knot and the or
dinary knot. (Male Man).
Ans. Surgeon ties a single knot
twice around, and double knot with
the last tie or hitch reversed. This
prevents slipping and loosening of
the knot under tension.
Mole
Large dark mole on my back, shows

SALEM. Peb. . (API Two chief
projects tying the atata into na
tional public works program and re
form of governmental structure of
municipal, county and state systems
were outlined to the state planning
MmmiuiM, in lta Initial session here
Monday by Governor Charles H. Mar
tin.
-rh ffnvsmor called the nine mem-
bera of his former "brain trust" who
now comprise the permanent plan
ning board, Into session to present his
views on their duties and ask work
be started on these two chief sub
jects at once, the public works pro
gram Immediately and the govern
mental reform to be a long range
task.
Important work
"The work of this board Is going
to be the most Important of any
other group In the state of Oregon."
Governor Martin told the board.
"This Is not Just another board, we
hflv. too manv now. 60 of them run
ning high wide and handsome with
out Interference, you are buihb
be responsible to the governor alone.
My reputation Is bound up In yours,
and I am glad It Is. I have confidence
In every one of you."
Continuing the governor declared
that he waa satisfied with the pre
liminary work of the membership and
for that reason reappointed them. He
declared he was also satisfied with
the measure creating the board and
stated that In addition to the 30.
000 appropriation the board will have
available about 115.000 from the old
advisory bosrd which waa unspent.
Wants Advice
"You are my board," he emphasiz
ed. "You will advise me. You are to
help me govern this state. You will
utilize all public agencies In obtain
ing any Information and work de
sired." The governor then sugeested the
board hold "star chamber" sessions
on the deliberations of various pre
lects declaring that "nothing Is to
he iralned bv hawking differences
among yourselves to the public. There
will be differences of opinion among
free thinking men."
Referring to a Washington news
dispatch to the effect the Bonneville
power would be transmitted to Port
land only for private Interests the
governor stated "the Bonneville pow
er will be for use of the entire peo
ple of the state, and my record in
congress has been consistent on that
point."
Don't Frnr Criticism
"Do not be disturbed by any criti
cism you may receive In your pro
gram, because every time you tread
on the toes of an office holder you
will receive a reaction. We are going
to keep up this work until we get
Oregon on a sound footing so that
people will want to come here to live
with us."
To cite criticism against tax-saving
proposals the executive named
the opposition received against the
couhty unit system of public educa
tion resulting In a modified measure
which he stated would be passed and
placed the proposal on tho ballot for
counties to decide their own actions.
"We have 2200 separate school dis
tricts In the state now and are
spending H6.000.000 on public edu
cation. The county.untt system would
save at least 3.000.00 a year, and
yet the people opposed It because
they felt It Interfered with their lib
erty." No patronage
Tn nniliiii!nn the Governor stated
he felt all administration and hiring
to the board as ne naa no pavronnge
to dispense. Most of the meetlncs
nrnniH h. h.M in Portland but oc
casionally some In Salem: It wss de
cided.
Referring to the two projects the
executive urged immedlste work on
tying the state In with the public
works problem in order to obtain all
available money for Oregon. Tnts
program must be In Washington by
March 1.
The reform of the governmental
structure would of necessity take a
loncer time, he stated, but he urged
a system whereby modern efficiency,
simplicity and economy might be
the resuit. "We are laying too great
a tribute upon our people In the
form of high taxes which they can
not now pay."

because the U. S. was fully at the
mercy of the foreign rubber monop
oly. They sought to write the money
off on their income tax return as a
gift because at that time no one
knew whether the experiment would
ever produce anything. The govern
ment refused, saying they could write
It off only after the experiment was
abandoned.
But the experiment succeeded to
an unexpected extent, and, as Edison
is dead, Ford and Firestone wanted
to make a present of Edison's dis
covery to the agricultural depart
ment. The tax collectors not only refuse
to let them write It off now (on the
ground the experiment is an Inven
tion), but are also trying to Impose
a gift tax on them If they give It to
the government.
