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

It is easy to suspect from this that avoid taxes, and Dr. Townsend would ' be upset end reorganized.

are scared stiff. Sincere statesmen !
also seem to be doubtful about how ;

The basis for the teal appears to

A New Party Bread
Again we offer for your approval a distinctly dif
ferent type of bread which will be particularly
interesting for your Holiday Parties . . .
Cinnamon Nut Bread
The inside of this new loaf looks like a cinnamon
roll, and that's the general process in fact. The
outside of our Cinnamon Bread is topped with a
very thin icing and sprinkled with chopped wal
nuts. Try some this week end for cinnamon toast, with
tea or chocolate. It's nice too for sandwiches.
