OTiEGlOAIED The circular tells the people of Peoria that Dr. Townsend wants 00 a month for each of 8.000,000 person!) over sixty. The cost. It says, will be 1.600.000.000 a month. This is to be raised by a sales tax on 1 .300.000, OO0.0O0. which is specified as the "sales turnover of 1929 " The tax is computed at f0.000.OOG.OO0 a year, the pension need at $19,200,000,000 Thus Dr. Townsend Is able to show a paper excess of S 800. 000 .000 above the needs. Official 1930 census bureau figures show 10,385.000 persons, then over (sixty years of age, instead of 8.000,- 000. The number has grown since, probably to 11. 000 .000. The census also showed that 4.156.000 of those over 60 were then gainfully employ ed: They were supporting themselves. This number has probably decreased. How many were being cared for by sons and daughters, or, like J. D. Rockefeller. Sr.. living from their own income, the figures do not show. A liberal assumption would be that there are no more than two million in theoretical need of public ai st ance and none not now receiving it. That Is only the initial error of Dr. Townsend's charitable purpose. His "total sales' figure is not a sales fig ure at all. It is based on the bank turnover In 1929. estimated by the federal reserve board at 1.000.000, 000.000 for 268 cltlps. Dr. Townsend has added 10 per cent for other cities, 10 per cent for cash, and apparently another billion for good luck. That Is how he gets his at, 300,000,000,000. which really should be nearer $1, 200.000.000.000. His figures, therefore, are not based on a sales tax proposition. If they were, he would not be within reach of the astronomloal revenue he Is talking about raising- His tax ts a transaction tax, meaning it is a pyra mided tax. For instance, a flat sales tax on nutomobiies would be a relatively minor thing, collected only once cn the sale of the car. But a transactions tax would lay possibly as many as six or eight consecutive taxes of 2 per cent each on some materials going ! into pig Iron, then to a bliVti-r, then So also with cotton, which involves Into the car. This would lift the price! of automobiles far more than the I glibly stated 2 per cent figure .ndl- I caies. j The iron for your car's steel body Is mined, say, by one firm, it is j transferred to another manufacturer to a shtvter, then to a body maker, I transactions to the dealer, mtddlr then to an auto manufacturer, then man- textll- manufacturer, and oth to a dealer, then to the public. Each before it bevm the upholstery one of the transactions would oe ,n 'our cr nickel hy Dr. Townsend tor a per 1 , cent to get. his money. ' the nm economic effect of Town-j have to look elsewhere to make up .'ends plan would be to drive must, this deficit In anticipated revenue, of the middlemen of all businesses, Likewise It la reasonable to expect out into the cold. Practical business ; that the effect on all prices would men would immediately begin to cut be Incalculably heavy, that the en down on transaction In order to tir htitnue .vctom vauIh It is easy to suspect from this that avoid taxes, and Dr. Townsend would ' be upset end reorganized.

Schilling Coffee repeats with delicious regularity. Schilling Coffee There are tw o Schilling CofTees. One for percolator. One for drip. The school for cooks and baker and mess stewards endtd today t Camp Wtmer. after an Intensive course of six weeks. Slxt7 men from the camps of the Medford OCC district were graduated. This was the atita school for cooks and bakers and the seventh for mess stewards, the Medford district being the first In the country to Inaugu rate this training. The next schools will be organized after the first of the year, capt. William C. Ryan, dis trict welfare officer, said. (Continued From Page One.) religious real. The timid politicians are scared stiff. Sincere statesmen ! also seem to be doubtful about how ; to face a growing onrush of such a i noble but Impractical purpose. j The basis for the teal appears to oe plausible but careless Townsend arithmetic. A printed circular of Townsend Club No. 1, Peoria. Illinois. Is the same as used nationally. ' Upon figures cited there, the Peorlo club claims to represent one out of every three citizens of the city, claim ed membership Is above 40,000. The 1930 census showed Peoria's popula- I tlon to be 105.000. It has Increased ; considerably since.
