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.

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.
