National Lecturer
Talks to townsend Club

DIR. Hal Long of Spokane, national
lecturer for the Townsend movement
spoke to a goodiy number of Town
senders in Junior High auditorium in
Libby Tuesday. The speaker was in
troduced by H. W. Redfield, president
of the local club. He launched i'm
mediately into spirited discussion OF
the Townsend plan and caustic at
tack against all those who opposed the
plan. He paid his respects to city news
papers for-as he said-the garbling of
reports of Townsend affairs.
The most worthwhile part of his ad-
dress came when he figured the pro-
posed per cent tax on wool step by
step from the sleeps back into a suit
of clothes and said the tax would only
amount to sl.50 suit He did likewise
with bushel of wheat from the field
to a loaf of bread and said the tax
would be only two-fifths of A cent per
loaf
He maintained that putting The
Townsend plan into operation would
save the nation. He said, There is only
one thing before us Townsenders and
that is the saving of America This
would be done by restoring prosperity
through increasing the circulation Of
money. thereby giving jobs to every
one, helping to keep young people nut
Of lives of crime and lifting anxiety
from the shoulders of millions of others.
The speaker vigorously urged the
support of Monaghan for the senate
and condemned Montana Townsenders
for rot having nominated him.
Long said the Townsend old age
pension would require one billion GOO
million dollars month, or 10 billion
200 million dollars year. Two per
cent on all transactions would not tnly
pay this, he said, but would also wipe
out the national debt and lift that ter
tible load from our children's shout
ders.
The speaker also paid his caustic re-
spects to Wall street He said the big
bankers fought the plan because it
would take away from them control of
the nations money. He said Wall
street insisted that printing money
would be initiation but selling bonds
whereby Wall street gets its interest
charge would be all right. lie classed
the Townsend national recovery plan
with the Declaration of Independence
and the Emancipation Proclamation.
The speaker said there would be fully
100 ToWnsenders in the next congress.
These would hold the balance of pow
er and would push through Townsend
legislation before they would allow any
appropriation bills to be passed, thus
forcing through their program. He said
Townsend president would be elected
in 1910
He closed with a high minded APP
peal for his hearers to work always and
diligently for clean and honest gov
eminent, where there would be oppor-
tunity for all worthy young people and
work for everyone,
d. Long was accompanied By Mrs
Long AT the beginning Of lis address
he called on her to recise timely
poem on the Townsend plan and the
blessings that would flow from it.

 Hoover estimated Americans arc mulcted of millions of dollars every year by dealers in stolen bonds and jewel racketeerg whose main forte Is swindling insurance companies.

Byrns and Roland, however, forecast defeat by 30 to 30 votes. Republican leaders, "off the record" forecast defeat of the measure by 16 to 20 votes.
 Byrns predicted many members who voted for consideration of the bill would vote against final passage.

 The farm mortgage issue is, ad- mittedly, political dynamite. Prin- cipal strength of It's supporters lies in middlewestern farm states. Fail- ure of either major party to carry these states might mean defeat in the national election. Legislatures
