IN SUPPORT OF BUSINESS

TINE coming year ought to be good one for
- advertising-and, by that token, it ought
to be good one for business generally.
Donald R. Richberg, MIRA chieftain, has in
dicated that the Government will adopt no
policy which would hamper advertising. Ad-
vertising costs will not be included in COM
pilation of those basic prices on which the
NRA framework rests.
If business man can increase his profits
by an energetic and intelligent advertising
campaign, the spoils are fairly his.
It is a truism that advertising is the oil
which lubricates the business machine. Mr..
Richbergs position IS an assurance that Uncle
Sam will do nothing 10 cut off the fabrication.
The result should be good profits for bust
ness men wise enough to take advantage of
their advertising opportunities.

ATTACK ON TOWNSEND
PLAN WAS RIDICULOUS
BY Nettie Cook

BY Nettie Cook.
The article in your paper recently
in which William Green, president
of American Federation of Labor,
attacked the Townsend plan was
ridiculous, in as much as he is mis-
informed on the Townsend plan of
old-age revolving pensions.
Mr.. Green also criticised the
Townsend proposal to raise old-age
pension benefits through a 10 per
cent sales tax. This, he said, would
be IAN enormous burden upon the
worker and the consumer, who
would bear a much greater share of
the burden in proportion to their
income and ability to pay than the
rich"
Here is where Mr.. Green is mis-
informed, and for the benefit of all
those who read this article I am
submitting a copy of the Townsend
plan which I received from DR..
Townsend while he was here in the
city about two weeks ago. think
it is the only plan that will solve
the Nations problem.
The Modern Crusader paper that
is published at Long Beach, Cal,
and can be bought at the Lyric news
stand here will give any one all the
information they want on the Town
send plan, it will show where a 2
per cent sales tax instead Of 10
per cent as Mr.. Green spoke of, will
solve the problem.
Government statistics show that
in the year of 1929 "a year Of depres-
sion far below the normal condi-
tions), the total business transac-
tions in the United States was be-
tween 1900 and 1900 billions of dol
lars. Hence a per cent levy in the
form of a transaction sales tax even
on the lesser estimate would turn
into the United States treasury the
huge amount of $4,000, 100000 an
nually.
It is estimated that there are
about 100000 people in the Units

BY a Suburbanite.
I am a reader of the Message
Center, and saw in The Times that
Gov. Paul V. McNutt is in favor of
an old-age pension from SIS to $25
month for persons IS or older.
How would he like to pay for rent,
food, clothes and other necessities
of life when rent is as high as it is,
say from SIS up, fuel, $3.50 a ton?
If he lived IN a cold house and
burned from one and a half to two
tons a month and if he didn't have
the money to pay water bills, gas
bills and light bills, how would he
like to have those utilities shut off?
We are young, with energy to
spare, but don't have any jobs. Does
he aim to help us? Why doesn't he
stay home and save the taxpayers
money? He promised to save the
taxpayer money in his campaign
speeches in 1882. The American Lee
gion helped get him the Office.
What is he doing for the soldiers?
Speaking Of old-age pension, I
suppose the Governor doesn't real
ize that some day he may get old

I have two old parents who I've
been trying to get out of the County
Home for a year and haven't been
able to get a job on the CWA at any
price.
I think that if we are to do away
with the county homes of our state,
as the old-age pension was intended
for, that we should give the old peo-
pie who worked hard to get a start
in life a helping hand during their
declining years.

NEWSPAPER STORY DRAWS
IRE OF READER

BY George Gould Hine.
On Dec. "a an Indianapolis paper
carried f1rst-page headline that
was most shocking.
1t read, zone in Every Five Looks
to u. S. for Support" And it is the
more shocking that they not only
LOOKOUT get it. How much more
soothing it would be if they could
only be induced to look to private
capital--and starve to death.
The implications of this headline
bear a striking resemblance to some
thing described in song, part OF
which goes as follows:
The fitting, international ghost,
That sinks abroad when needed most,
That Whines when unemployed are leo,
That hides, and wishes they were deaQ.
It's funds Withdrawn, while country
It's faith serene in bayonets.
The Associated Press should be
proud of that article. The paper

question. 1 voted for our New
Deal here and I believe we will get
it. These out-of- town employees
give them ten days to move in
town or stay put where they are.
With this kind of a deal, we might
be able to fill up some of our
empty houses. 1t has been sug-
gested that these outside employees
be taxed, but that does not put
jobs or work in the town peoples
hands.
Would like to hear from others
on this subject. If we have to

| CHRISTMAS TREE SALE AT
COURT HOUSE IS SCORED

COURT HOUSE Is SCORED
By S. S.
I was greatly embarrassed last
Saturday while walking past the
Marion County Courthouse with an
out-of-t town friend.
The ordinarily clean, sweeping
lawns were filled with Christmas
trees. The sidewalks were cluttered
with rude stands from which holi-
day fruits and nuts were being sold.
My friend asked whether the
place was the municipal market.
Old as it is, the Courthouse is
one of the public buildings Of the
county. If nothing else can be
done, surely the commissioners
could prevent the display Of a large
advertising sign on the building.

the same neck of the woods, i. e.,

ways been the same old story
Every time over-production causes
unemployment. they start yelling
about labor saving machinery
causing it. Why not ask the farm
er to shoot his horse and pull the
pillow himself? It's just as logical.
Any fifth grade pupil would
know that labor saving machinery
will cause unemployment for
while. Give it time to adjust it
self. The miners said that twenty
years ago when they were making
$3.50 for 10 hours. The coal cut
ting machine was installed any
way; now they are making SIS
for eight hours work and there
are more men mining coal now
than 20 years ago.

Register Your
Baby---Results
Over 1000 Babies Born During
the Past Year Have So Far
Been Registered.

Helena. Dec. 26-At the expira-
ton of the first month following
the distribution Of birth census
cards in the Montana Register
Yo,r Baby" campaign, 5,208 cards
had been received by the bureau
of vital statistics, state board Of
health, from Montana parents.
OF this number of cards 955
did not apply to the 12-months
covered by the census, viz, Oct. l,
1888, to Sept. 80, 1884, and their
elimination left 1888 coming with
in the scope Of the survey.
Taking for a preliminary basis
the Montana registration for the
wear 1888, or $3.50, the reports
received so far cover slightly less
than one-half of the known births
for the year.
In the course of the survey, up
to the present reports have been
received for ITS babies of whose
births no record was on file with
the bureau. In all Of these cases
more complete information IS be-
ing sought in order that the regis
tration of those babies may be
effected
Although the publicity cam
paign in Montana is being closed
it is expected that several hun
dred cards will subsequently, b.
received and the returns made
more nearlv complete.
One gratifying result Of the
camnaign has been that the in
creased three times over the
terest of the public to birth reg
istration has been aroused. as is
evidenced bv the fact that the
number of inquiries received by
the board of health regarding
earlier registrations have in
numbers in periods prior to the
opening of the compaign.

George A. Marquisee, only son
of MI. and Mrs. s. ]. Marouisee.
a sophomore at Syracuse Unlvers-
ity, New York, majoring in pub
lie school music and mlnoring in
violin. arrived Saturday evening
to spend the holiday vacation
with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs,
S. J. Marquisee. This is Georges
first visit home in a year and a
half.
George was chosen by the Chi
Mu Alpha fraternity to represent
the fraternity at the national
convention in Milwaukee, Wis,
Dec. 26 and n, but declined the
honor, as to accept would have
prevented him being with his par
ents at Christmas time. He will
visit here until January 3, when
he will leave for Syracuse to re-
sumo his studies, Jan. Z.
George makes his home with
his uncle, Jacob Marquisee, who
for eight years following tn e
World war was resident Of Har-
din, being engaged in the cloth
! ing and gents furnishing goods
business here with his nephew,
s. J. Marquisee of the Model
Clothes Shop. Jacob Marquisee
also took an active part in the
civic life of Hardin. serving as
president of the Hardin Chamber
of Commerce and in 1925 was
chairman of the committee hav-
ing charge Of the observance of
the fiftieth anniversary of the
Custer battle.
George is a product of the Har-
din public schools, having started
in the grades and was graduated
from Hardin high school with the
class of 1888. He specialized on
the violin. on which instrument
he is unusually proficient. and

TIE COST OF WAR

In view of the growth of war
sentiment, DR.. Nicholas Murray
Butler of the Carnegie Endow-
ment for Universal Peace, has
chosen a timely moment to bring
forward a solemn warning against
those who plot war as well as an
exhibit of how directly the loss,
the suffering and the distress
which nations are now suffering
are the effect of the World War.
DR.. Butler shows that according
to the best statistics obtainable
the World War cost 100000
lives and $400, 000, OOO, 900 in prop
erty. If that four hundred bill
lions had been put to constructive
use it would have built $4,000
house and furnished this house
with $1,000 worth Of furniture,
and placed it on five acres of
land worth 500 an acre and given
all this to each and every family
in the United States, Canada,
Australia, England, Wales, Ire
land, Scotland, France, Belgium,
Germany and Russia.
After doing this there would
have been enough money left to
give to each city of 10000 inhabi-
tants and over in all the countries
named a $4,000, 900 ibrar- and a
$10,000,000 university.
And then out of the balance
We would still have sufficient
money to set aside a sum at per
cent interest which would pay
for all time to come a $1,000
yearly salary each for an army
of $4,000 teachers. and in addi-
ton to this pay the same salary
to each Of an army of $4,000
nurses.
And after having done all this,
we could still have enough left
out of our $4O0, 600, 00O, 900 to buy
up all of France and Belgium,
and everything of value that
France and Belgium possess; that
is, every French and Belgian farm
home, factory, church, railroad.
