Commissioner George E. Aliens
proposal to hold referenda on i'm
portant questions affecting the Dis
trict was approved at the meeting of
the Midcity Citizens Association last
night.
While some aspects of the proposal
did not meet the full approval of the
association, especially the fact that
the Commissioners would not be
bound by sentiments expressed in
referenda, the principle was indorsed
in the resolution. M. T Pines, treas
urer of the association, stated that
1T might lead to a real vote later
on" Commissioner Allen plans to
have the proposal introduced in Con-
gress soon after it convenes in jan

A request that some of the buses
on the Chevy Chase line be routed
down Seventh street was contained in
another resolution passed. This was in
response to a letter from the Seventh
Street Business Mems Association
complaining that much business had
been lost since busses had been sub
stituted for the street cars which
formerly ran on Seventh street. The
route suggested from Chevy Chase
was via Eighteenth street and Colum-
bia road, Fourteenth and U streets,
and down Seventh street to the
wharves.

Modest Force Is Employed
in Pushing 0ld-Age
Pension Plan.

Five Cluttered little Offices, with open
doors through which are heard the
click of typewriters, earnest voices and
occasional giggling of girl clerks, make
up the national headquarters of the
Townsend old-age pension movement.
The rooms are banked on the second
floor of the Southern Building, near
the Treasury that the movement hopes

A Senator enters. If B. c. Rankine
is not swapping orders over long dis

the visitor is asked sweetly for his
card and allowed admission.
Racket Charge Denied.
Rankine has certified public ac-

The number of employees is very

acting temporarily as the Southern
regional Office, and each in the
regional offices of New York, Chicago
and Los Angeles. There is a manager
a combination bookkeeper and Ste

ing without pay.
"Ninety-eight per cent of all our
workers are volunteers. he insisted.
In an even more crowded little suite
upstairs IN the same building is the
editorial force of nine. headed by F.

From January l. 1884, to Septem-

There are now 6,1O0 Townsend
clubs throughout the country. accord
ing to Rankine. with memberships
running from 100 to 1900 each.
Il could not even make a rough
guess about the total membership, -
Rankine said. We are growing so
rapidly, and reports are not up TO
date from the individual clubs.
Many members pay 25 cents year
bership if he cannot afford to con-
tribute anything. Besides, we have
some donations from time to time"
It's as vague as that But this
movement has got the boys in Congress
/ scared to death. A very sllrewd Sen
ator. an opponent of the plan from
every angle, has just completed a per-
sonal canvass. He thinks it will pass
the House of Representatives this ses-
sion, but that it will be stopped in the
Senate That would put it vigorously
