eral Assembly in The reorganization
of the state government.
Rep. Evans believes it is advisable
to return the power to select the
encouragement to the voters in
order that elective officers shall
have the majority control in two
important state departments-the
law department and the depart
ment of audit and control.
BY virtue Of his Office, the Cover
nor is an ex-officic member of the
division of attorney general and Of
the Audit and Control Department.
Rep. Evans will argue before the
House that with the aid of his ap-
pointee. the Governor can control
decisions of the two departments.
The proposed Evans bill marks
the first of a series of measures
which are expected to be introduced
by the Republicans to modify the
1888 governmental reorganization.
During the last state campaign the
Republicans unsucceSSfully sought
to convince the people an unsafe
degree of control of the state gov
eminent had been given the Cover
nor.
The bills are not expected to be
adopted, but the Republican strategy
is to provide campaign material for

no DR.. Townsend, even though they
refuse to stand the whole economic
system on its head at the beheSt
of the doctor and his followers.
No one can be quite sure what
would happen if the Townsend plan
were adopted, but any economist
you meet will assure you it would
De pretty awful.
When it comes to the sales or
transactions tax designed to finance
he plan, Townsendites seem to
eap about from one figure to an
other and the figures often seem
unreliable.
When the plan seemed to compre-
bend 10 per cent retail sales tax,
it was quickly pointed out that,
even on 1929 business, that would
amount to but fourth of an esti-
mated $4,000, 100000 a year needed
to pay the pensions.
Somebody else carefully figured
out that the plan would mean a 10
per cent tax on everything you
bought and one simple way Of crit
icizing the plan is to say it would
Jake half the present national in

Of the population.
Lately, DR.. Townsend has been
talking in trillions-proposing a 2
per cent sales tax on a trillion dol
lars and more of sales such as he
says we had in 1928 and 1929.

TOWNSEND PLAN
TO Be LAUGHED
OUT OF CAPITAL
Congress Sure to Put K. O.
Punch on Doctors
Pension Scheme.
BY RODNEY DU3CHER
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. - The
Townsend plan for old-age pensions
will be laughed out of Washington
and many old hearts probably will
be broken in the process.
On the other hand, scores of
bright young stenographers on Capt.
toll Hill will be darned glad when
the old folks stop hoping for that
5000 a month.
You find them working into the
dinner hour, night after night,
monotonously tipping off letters adj
vising constituents that the Senator
or the Representative has received
their communication about the
Townsend plan and is giving in
tense consideration to old-age pen
sion proposals.
No one quite remembers when so
many letters and postal cards were
coming in support of bill. Lock
ing over patches of them, you're
chiefly impressed by what seems to
be the desperate character of a large
portion.
Threats in Letters
Pleas of need are interspersed
with solemn assurances that the re-
cipientS will be able to spend the
money, as the Townsend plan would
require-and how!
More than every other letter
bears a threat-"We voted for you
in the last election and, if you stand
with us now, will do so again."
Few barrages of organized pleas
are quite as crude about that as
these Townsend letters, so often
written by shaky hands.
So many threats are bound to
have some effect. You will find a
substantial-but ineffective and in
many cases insincere-bloc of con-
gressmen who will tell you they're
in favor. Few of them ever ex-
pect a chance to vote on the meas
ure, though Congressman John S.
McGroarty of California, who in
troduced it in the House, already
claims IS pledged to back it.
1t May Do Some Good
Although the high hopes of many
of the aged will be dashed, the
Townsend agitation may do some
good.
The Administration and Congress
may consent to a more liberal old
age pension system than they would

BILL PROVIDES

A billion dollar national lottery
was proposed yesterday by Repre-,
sentative Kenney CD, of New Jer-
sey.
He will offer a bill in few days
providing for distribution of 900
million dollars in prizes, with 400
million for the Government.
Such a course, he said, would
deal a heavy blow to gambling and
racketeering, and bring into hon.
est circulation money now going
mainly to illicit channels. He
added:
eff it could be brought to Sc.
cret vote in the House, it would
pass. Many members, however,
who haven't investigated and
who look upon this as gambling,
will oppose it, although lottery
sentiment is growing both in and
out of Congress-"
