PAY PETITIONS
FOR HOSPITALS
ARE WITHHELD

disqualification petitions, design
ed to obtain permission for county
supervisors to grant pay patients
the facilities of county hospitals,
will not be circulated in Imperial
county until fall.
The petitions were not filed as
planned because hackers of the
project feared the petitions did
not contain a sufficient number
of eligible names. Scott B. Foulds,
manager of the Imperial county
farm bureau, received instructions
from the state bureau to withhold
filing.
1t will not be possible to include
the petition as one of the pro-
positions on the ballots at the
November election. 1t may, how
ever, be included on the ballots
at later election, Foulds said.

Says

There is A Law
The best example of human folly
and cruelty coming to RR's atten-
ton in recent weeks Is right here
at home-in the south-side resi-
dence district, tc be exact. Folly
because the person responsible is
liable to prosecution right now, and
might very conceivably be open to
prosecution for manslaughter.
Cruelty because the persona wo-
man, by the Way-brings pain and
death to animals whose only offense
is their belief in human nature, and
suffering to the owners of the pets.
We speak of the person who has
been putting out strychnine for
dogs.
BY some warped process of mind
this individual chooses biscuits and
cup cakes to carry the poison. There
are many children living in the
neighborhood. Any one of the
youngsters m g hit, innocently
enough, pick up one of the morselS,
eat it, and die. ManSlaughter
charges would result against the
person reSponsible-and identity is
not hard to establish.
AS a tip to the police department
and the humane society, why not
try tracing strychnine purchases?
Another Depression
These "covers-needed" nights and
these cool days are subject for re-
joicing by most of us-but not for

HOW THE
/ A WORKS

The Townsend Plan proposes to pay
to all over sixty up to and not to ex-
coed $4,000 per month with Federal
regulations that this amount shall be
spent within the United States within
thirty days.
The pensioners give up all gainful
business and employment which will
make about 100000 jobs that viii
take that many people now unem-
ployed and put them TO work. The TO-
100000 people receiving and spending
$2400. a year will create new jobs al
the rate Of one new Job for each S24W
spent, making 13,500,000 people put to
work just through the simple working
of the plan and viii cause 10000, 00C
Jobs to be created where none existed
before. Thus doing away with unem-
ployment and furnishing work for our
young people, high school and college
graduates will find a place in life as
o o as they are ready to take up their
life work.
The Townsend Plan is 100 per cent
U. S. A 1t is the only plan, so far adj
vanced, that will end the depression
and saw tie country from bloodshed,
riots ard possible revolution.
Statistics put out by the Federal Re-
serve Board show that a 2 per cent
transaction tax will not only take care
of the 5000 a month payment to every
one over sixty, but will in twenty
years pay off the 30 billion of indebt-
edness, to which our national debt has
arisen under the wasteful and corrupt
