THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1937 Townsend Club Hears District Manager Speak Lewis Assailed As Trying To Lead Nation Into Dictatorship. In a meeting held in the City parking lot, and crammed full cf enthusiasm, but lacking in numbers, Glenn C. Wade, district manager for the Second Congressiontd Dis trict, of the Townsend Clubs ad dress the local club President De- Gross introduced the speaker, and asked the Reverend White to open the meeting by leading the group in singing the first verse of America followed by an Invocation. Not Dissapoint! d In Small Turnout Wade was high in his praise for the interest of the few who did turn out for the meeting. "The arm (jf the Lord and the Sword of Gideon,” said Wade, 'routed an enemy much larger in numbers than that of th faithful.’ It is always the small worthwhile group, keeping always In mind their goal, that will win out in the end. Lewis Heading For Dictatorship Wade was convincing In his belief that Lewis, nominal head of the Committee on Industrial Organiza tion, was heading for the overthrow of the American system of govern ment and Instituting In It's place a form of dictatorship government in which Lewis would be dictator. Hitler, Mussolni Methods Recounted Hitler and Mussolin both started from the ranks of the workers, gathering as they rose to power, the Socialist, and ‘left wingers' sup posedly for the freeing of the pro letariat from the yoke of capitalism Upon reaching thehead of the gov ernment they declared themselves 'the government'. Lewis is going along the same lines. First by or ganizing entire industries, under one union and in his latest efforts, trying to get the American farmer to Join his movement, according to Wade. C. I. O. Compared to I. W. W. The C. I. O. movement was com pared to the I. W. W. of some fifteen years ago. Wade brought out the meaning of the I. W. W. as that cf one big union with control of the entire world under one governing body. He said that Lewis was trying the very stune thing In his C. I. O. Not Yet Satisfied with Actions of Politicians Mr. Wade did not mention any names, but from the political end of the Townssnd Plan, It was Intimat ed that all was not well and that new and startling political lineups might be expected next year, when the campaigns ‘warm up.’ He warn ed those present that it would take ten years at the outside, to bring about the election of enough sym pathizers for the Townsend Plan to put it into effect. Mr. Wade left for Ontario after the meeting, and will continue his tour of the district, in the interest of the Townsend Plan. RAILWAY EXPRESS AGENCY PLANS FREE DELIVERY Mr. H. L.

Students Leave For College ance to be Enforced. Called Into special session last Thursday night, the council dispos ed business that was urgent and adjourned at eleven thirty. Most of the meeting was taken up with the matter of the new sidewalk on the west end of Main 8treet. Debate Method of Construction In an orderly and buslneeallke discussion, in which the City At torney's opinion had to be asked, the council acted to do the nec essary filling under the ‘force ac count 'and let the laying of the sidewalk out by contract. Bids on Contracts Considered Three bids, that had been pre viously submitted by contractors were looked over and compared under the 'unit rule' In which con tractors were allowed to Itemize dif ferent phases of their bids. Hardin Gets Contract Having considered all the con tracts It was voted to let the con tract to Mr. oJe Hardin under the ‘unit rule' which called for 881 lin eal feet of 5 foot sidewalk, along the north side of Main street, In portion of block 17, all of 18, 19 and 20. Hardin will be required to post a bond for $200 hi favor of the city. The cost of the construction of the sidewalk will be $754.80. Property owners will have added to that fig ure the cost of necessary filling along the property lines. Bonu Law to Finance Construction The Bancroft Bond Law will be used for the paying off of the cost of the sidewalk. This law enables the city to declare an Improvement district and Issue bonds against that district for the cost of the Improve ment. The payments It Is contem plated will be stretched over a per iod of ten years. Obstruction Costs Acted On Obstruction that had been en countered In the construction of the sewer line on each side of Main street was brought up by the Mayor when he ask:d for definite action on the part of the council to dlspoee of the matter. One motion was made, but lost for want of a second to cliarge property owners responsible for the obsti uctlon for the ad ditional cost t« the city. Another motion was made that the charges be taken off the city books which was carried by a three to one vote. Sewer Ordinance to be Enforced All property having buildings on It, used either for business or liv ing quarters that abutts the sewer system will be assessed the monthly sewerage charge. This would simply be the enforcing of Ordinance NO. 221 which in part calls for the col lection of the charges, regardless of whether the building Is using the sewer or not. Members of the coun cil said that they felt that every one owning property along the sewer lines should take advantage of It. And also that the Improvements hsd enhanced the value of the pro perty and that the owners should be willing to do their share In taking care of the expenses GRAIN MARKET REPORTS By Herschel Thompson A1 Thompson A Son Average Prices Delivered Bulk Wteat, curt_________. $120 Oats, cwt.......................... $1.10 Barley, cwt................. .80 Red Clover, cwt..................30.00 B T.
