ON THIS
OCCASION
A Few Observations ON Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Uppermost in the minds of
the people at the present time
besides economic subjects is the
Townsend old age pension
plan. Those who have paid
attention to the proposed plan
of pensioning everyone over
sixty years of age with 5000
per month, providing they
spend the $500 within the
month, feel that the plan would
put much money into circula-
ton but that it could not sur
vive. However, many are of
the opinion that a pension of
about $50 per month would be
the proper manner of allevi-
ating distress and opening up
retail business channels now
clOgged.
The $500 a month dream is
too good to be true. The
younger generation is being
cared for with the CCC. I'm
attached older men are in the
transient camps. Those COM
PEELED to live in cities and past
the age of sixty, deserve some
thing and a pension of enough
to keep body and soul together
for the few remaining years of
life, would be a gesture of ap-
probation on the part of the
government for years of labor
and effort in making America
the best country on earth.

Again we wish to call at
tention to the unfairness of the
Mesaba range end of this Sixty
First Legislative district. All
the Vermilion range asked for
was direct representation in the
legislative body of the state.
Our candidate, DR.. John E.
Thompson was defeated by the
votes of the Mesaba range
cities of Virginia and Eveleth
this year-as in the past.
Years ago our district was a
shoestring affair with Duluth
as the shining end. Now we
are districted in the same man.
ner with the Mesaba range as
the shining end.
There is no doubt that the
representatives and senator
elect will represent the district
but it is reasonable to suppose
they will pay more attention to
the part of the district that
elected them and that direct
representation would be pre-
ferable. Four years ago a bill
was presented assuring us a
representative in the legisla-
ture. This bill was voted down
amid many jibes thrown in the
direction of Representatives
McGhee and Anderson who in
troduced it. The statement
was made that it could not be
done.
We will say that it has been
done and is being done right
along. A part of Duluth and
Lake county were arranged to
assure Lake county a repre-
sentative. The reapportion-
ment has worked fine. The
population of Lake county is
not any greater than the popu-
lation of the Vermilion range.
We cite this case because it is
near home and in constant
view.
