800 Hear Portland Attorney
at Armory Meeting
Present Relief System
Scored Collection Taken
"America on the March." wa the
theme of a 60-mlnut talk delivered
by Judge John A. Jeffrey of Portland,
former prosecuting attorney In
southern Oregon, at the Armory last
night before a crowd of approximate
ly 800 Townsend old age pension plan
enthusiasts who contributed a total
of $50, It was estimated by President
Bhurtleff, of the local Townsend
club.
Having stopped In Medford on a
speaking tour of Oregon and north
ern California. Judge Jeffrey, speak
ing In behalf of C. E. Hansen of
Portland, state organizer for the
movement, hit the opposition aa mak
ing "fool" efforts to stand in the
way of a "great crusade" that he de
clared would restore the nation's eco
nomic atablllty along the pathways
of supply and demand.
Scoffs at Experts
Judge Jeffrey Bald there are many
symptoms of the coming success of
the plan, chief of which are the
"lool aubsldlzed articles In the coun
try's leading newspapers." Referring
to Abraham Epstein's :nvestlgatlon,
the speaker declared that such eco
nomic experts' advice Is worthless.
"In making his Investigation," Judge
Jeffrey said, "I hope Fpsteln will go
so far as to find that what lies be
iilnd the plan la a force of 50.000.
000 American people "
The speaker reviewed the tragic re
sults of the depression, declaring that
the national debt is Increasing In
tremendous figures, that relief con
v dltlons are steadily becoming worse,
snd that value has departed from
property. "If the old system Is car
Tied on, two years from now we will
be borrowing money to carry on the
ordinary expense of government."
Relief system seorea
Judge Jeffrey described the nat
ional system of relief aa a "patch
work" system. "The relief organiza
tion as it has been maintained has
been a, disgrace to white man's civ
ilization," he declared. "When we go
to the market for a pall of lard, we
can hear the squeal of every pig that
wns plowed under for prosperity'."
Jul?e Jeffrey hit the big producers
snd the federal reserve banking sys
tem as harvesting the wealth of the
nation In their coffers. He described
the Townsend plan as one whereby
taxation would be lifted from every
American home under 3000 in value
Snendlng money is an easy habit to
learn," he said,, describing many ways
In which the pensioners would pro
fit by using their proposed $200a-
tnonth pension.
Would Release Wealth
The movement, which he said Is
not radical, but one of the great
middle class, would release untold
sralue by retiring those over 60 from
competitive business and allowing a
rvaat body of fit, young men and wo
men to step into their places.
He referred to the experiences of
European countries In pensioning
their aged, declaring that nearly all
white countries of Europe have been
around the same vicious circle that
America Is traveling and have event
ually established a retirement salary
"In Europe the Morgans and the Mel
Jons cannot control the money of a
country," he declared.
By the olose of March, Judge Jef
frey said, it Is hoped that 40,000.000
signatures will have been sent to
Washington. "Congress cannot turn
down 40,000,000 signatures," he said
The speaker was born and raised
in the Applegate district, having at
tended grade school there and high
school at Jacksonville. He Is a grad
uate of Oregon State college and has
been practicing law in Portland for
many years. While a resident of Med
Jord, he was prosecuting attorney fo
Jackson, Josephine, Klamath and
Lake counties.
