Smith now peaking at the Full Oospel church. Newtown street, near Main, will pre sent ft group of earthquake pictures tonight In connection with ft aer mon on "The Last Great Earth quake." The pictures, taken Jay him self In the Long Beach and Comp ton urea, constitute vlewa of man; placea where acts of heroism oc curred. These pictures are supple mented with a few fine rlews of the San Francisco earthquake In cluding one of the fiery cross that turned over the city for some period lot time during the fire. The pic tures will be shown from 7 p- m. until 7:30 p.m.. and the regular evangelistic service will follow Im mediately. The sermon topic desls with earthquakes as a algn of the Imminent coming of Jesus and dis cusses a peculiar quality In present day earthquakes as ft code had In mind by Jesus when He spoke or earthquskes as a sign. In particular the message refers to ft future earthquake whtch will occur at the coming of Jesus and which will pre pare the earth for the mlllenlal period. The sermon topic Sunday night will be "Who's Who at Armageddon." discusses the possibility of another world war and glvea the scriptural line-up of the nations at the last great battle of the age Armageddon. CHAMPION LIAR KILLED A RAT Communications To the Editor: Several million Townsendites are feeling better tonight when they eard the welcome news today that compress had voted to appoint a com mittee to Investigate the standing of the Townsend plan. This will give the Townsend people some Idea how to handle the plan when It comes time for them to do some Investigating. The more con gress 1 nvestl ga tes the better. That will Just spread the good news, and will be the mea-M of nvre people to look into the plan and learn what It Is all about. That means more members. And that Is what we want (as Frank Jenkins says In today's paper). Even three years of the new deal hasn't been able to cure whatever it la that Is wrong. Now maybe this committee will find In the Townsend plan the very thing that they have been looking for so long. No one would be more surprised than they. Well good luck to them. P. J. K FRK PATRICK "fetar Route, Box i7. Feb. 31, 1936. Liberty League vs. Townsend. To the Editor: It appears that since the Liberty leegue has squelched the new -deal with one mighty burst of eloquence by the "unhappy warrler," Al Smith, these philanthropic agent of "en trenched greed" are ready to take on more momentous duties, and set the country right regarding arch enemy No. a, the Townsend plan. A few evening ego, under the spon sorship of the league. Dr. R. B. Wes ter field, a professor of Tale univer sity, delivered a broadside against the Townsend plan. In this "learned" address the professor demonstrated that he had not reed tha Townsend plan as embodied In the MoGroarty bill, the measure now pending In con gress. This bill provides for a two percent transaction levy, an addition of one tenth on all Income tax payments, and a two percent levy on all Inher its noes and gifts. "These funds are to be Impounded, or allowed to accumulate for a period of four months after the law becomes tffecth-e. During that four months' period, persons eligible for the pen sion, 60 years of age or over, are to be registered. "At the opening of the fifth month, the money raised during the first month Is to be divided equally among those eligible. At the opening of the sixth month, the mone raised dur ing the second month Is to be di vided, end so on, the Impounded fund always being kept four months ahead of the division." Thus only the amount of money collected for this purpose Is distrib uted, with a maximum of $200 per month, but no minimum set. In this way the plan must succeed In creat ing sufficient volume before It can bring annuities up to Its goal. If the tax only amounts to one-half the desired allotment, then 1100 per month Instead of 1200 would be paid. In hi "learned" address, this rep resentative of DuPonfs Liberty league ys that the Townsend annuities will require 17 billion dollar per year. He also states that the national in come will amount to SI billions for the same period, therefor he says n will require one-third of the national Income to care for the nine percent constituting those over 60, and leave two-thirds or 34 billions for the 91 percent of the remaining population, those under the ige of 80 years. The amount derived for the Town send beneflclariM from uch a na tional output would depend entirely upon the number of time dollar turn over in doing business througn out the year. rvery opponent of the Townaend plan h bed his greatest ob)oction on the theory that a specific sum must be raised, but the provisions of the bill are quite different. The op ponents must all get their data from the same source as d.d the professor. rnr the si nounrt aliite in this re- DON'T GET UP NIGHTS w Juniper oil, nucha .ei.

(Aasociated Press Photo Candidates and Townsend Plan Zt may be that In some states, where the Issue Is less acute than In Oregon, candidates for office can straddle the Townsend plan. It can not be straddled In Oregon. New evidence of this fact has just been forthcoming in the case of Senator McNary. He was asked whether he would support the plan. He an swered without a pledge of support for the Townsend plan specifically, but saying he would support "any suitable plan" for old-age pensions. The announcement of his answer at a Townsend district meeting evoked a chorus of boos. Representative Ekwall equivocated for a time on the subject of the Townsend plan. When the Townsend plan people Insisted on a yes or no answer, Judge Ekwall to his ever lasting credit declared his opposi tion. He could not accept It a prac ticable and would not support It. Over In eastern Oregon, Representa tive Pierce backed and filled for a time, but finally bent the knee, giv ing the plan full lip service, although he had heretofore been loud In his opposition to any sort of sales tax. and the sales tax In multiplied form la the very backbone of the Townsend plan as represented In the McOroarty bill. Representative Mott. ever agile In leaping into popular bandwagons, went for the Townaend plan In a big way, and early. Senator Steiwer Is the one member of the Oregon dele gation who does not have to seek votes this year. It will be interesting to see what his attitude toward the measure will be If, or when, It comes to a vote. Meanwhile, the bandwagon rush of candidate for all sorts of offices to curry Townsend plan favor moves apace. Here la the spectacle of Ru fua Holman, state treasurer and po tential candidate for re-election, ad dressing a Townsend club meeting and trying to avoid a commitment for or against. Here is a young man announcing hla candidacy for a place In the atate house of representatives on a platform of wholesouled support of the Townsend plan. Here are can didates for county offices shedding the light of their presence and their benevolent smiles on Townsend meet ings. Here are City Commissioners Clyde and Bennett putting in most of their time telling the Townsend peo ple how strongly they are for them and at time running far afield from the city to do It. Yet state, county and local officials will have no slight est voice or Influence In the enact ment or rejection of the Townsend plan by congress. They are merely riding a cause to the goal of future votes. The Townsend plan people must see through It. Indeed, on a few occasions, their spokesmen have -made It known that they were seeing through It, One can respect sincere Townsend plan advocates however mistaken and this newspaper thinks they are completely mistaken. But candidates for office who try to straddle and other candidates who patently seek to popularize' themselves in their striv ings for office by cultivating the Townsend people shake confidence in them by all concerned. So do news papers that straddle the Issue. And that remlnda us again that the Ore gonlan Is the only dally newspaper in Portland who has ever let Its readers know whether It is for or against the Townsend plan. Portland Oregonlan. spect. Prom all of which we must Infer that tha Tale professor took his propaganda straight from head quarter and did not read the bill himself, as we feel confident a Yale professor would not deliberately falsi fy to hi trusting audience. We notice In the Tribune last week an article stating that a person re ceiving a salary of 91000 per year would be required to pay S3 00 Into the Townsend fund. If this corre spondent, a well 'as the professor, would take the trouble to read the bill sponsoring this new Utopian plan, and learn the facts, and then, learn to figure, they might have a change of heart and fall in line with tha only plan so far advanced from any source to solve the problem of unemployment. r.

Once your garden la planted and la ft going concern, don't go Into It every night with the hose, even If it needs water, lre quent light sprinkling Is Inju rious: the best thing is to soak the soil thoroughly sbout once ft week, prefersbly during the even ing. nd then loosen the surface with rake or hoe aa aoon ft It's dry enough. A good method Is to dig slight furrows along the rows of plants and let the water flow gently down the fur rows. After the water has sosked In, the furrows should be covered with dry soil to prevent biking Moisture feeds upward In soli, aa does oil in a lamp wick. Bd. Note: If the McOroarty bill doea not provide for 1300 per month, for all over 80, whtch must be spent within that month, then It ceases to be the Townaend plan.
