Senators Seeking Inside Expose Of
 Townsend Plan
(By The Associated PreSs)

Washington, Feb. 14th- Investigators for the Sen- ate lobby committee, are busy collecting highly in- teresting information on the financial operations of sponsors of the Townsend Plan for Old Age Revolv- ing Pensions.
 The investigators learn ed that a file on data" is being reserved for comba- tive use by enemies, when ever the Townsend lobby becomes active in the na- tional capital.
 The mere fact that data on the Townsendites is being collected does not in- dicate that any of it is un- savory; however, with the backing of this data, gath cred by unmentioned ag- ents, the Senate committee could fire on the plan with real bullets when the lobby ists start their anticipated drive for congressional sup port for theToWnsend Plan
 Not only is the file SUD- posed to have a list of suc- cinct arguments against the Townsend Plan, but it is also reputed to contain charges of malfeasance and corruption within theToWn send organization.

tBy The Associated Press)
 Chicago, Feb. 13, - The "yes-yes" man got the blame for making people stutter.
 Dr. Meyer Solomon of Northwestern University's school of medicine explain ed it this way to the Ma tional Association of Teach CTS of Speech:
 'The desire to keep pace in a conversation and the fear of Interruption are con ducive to stuttering for the person so inclined. It is be- cause you sit there with a 'yes-yes-go-on' expression on your face that the stut- terer is stuck. If you try to have the situation by inter rupting, you initiate feel ing of inferiority and the stutterer finds it impossible to speak clearly"
 To clinch this point, Dr. Solomon pointed out that sufferers do not stutter when they whisper, or when they take part in group singing or recitation own deer. The average ownership is above 82 per person; and during 1934-35 the consumption per yea was over eight deer per per son.

WHEAT ABOUT

Low Outside Markets Are
Factor in BeariSh
Movement. /

By United Press
CHICAGO, May 21.-Wheat prices
prices gyrated today on the Board
of Trade and after an early dip and
a sharp rise in later trade, prices
held about steady.
AT the end wheat was off Il to
Is cent, corn was off 4 to q cent
and oats were of Il cent.
The failure of Liverpool 10 re-
fleet the upturn in wheat prices
here yesterday and reports that
Winnipeg wheat futures had
reached new low levels generated
early selling. A few minutes later
shorts moved to cover their COM
mitments
Eastern Firm Sells
A later reaction carried wheat
prices down again as a house with
Eastern connection and local OPP
orators led the selling. The mar
ket in general showed the usual
nervous action prior to the expira-
ton of contracts.
Low outside markets were the
factor in bearish movement while
disappointing precipitation over
night coupled with reported dust
storms in sections of the Southwest
were held as factors in the bullish
trade.
Corn held a strong undertone
throughout most of the session, but
descended in the last few minutes
of trade. May corn sold at the
highest price since April Is during
the days trade Oats and rye eased
in late trade in featureless mar
kets.

Remain Steady.

New strength developed in the
pork market in early trading today
at the indianapolis Union Stock
yards and as a result prices we're
sharply IS to 80 cents higher on
weights ranging upward from 100
pounds and up 10 cents on other
classes.
The heavy butcher classes, how
ever, were less attractive as the SEES
sion progressed and prices settled
down to moderate levels. Although
receipts were estimated at 4500 the
early upturn was influenced largely
by an unusually strong demand pre-
vailing for heavy grades.
Competition was strong from both
local and outside sources. The top
paid for good and choice weights
was carried upward to 5000, the
highest level reached in more than

HOJeS nave Dcen
taken care Of by government fnan-
cling. The sums spent on actual re-
lief are available.
From July /, 1888, to Dec. 81, 1885.
the Federal government spent $4,-
7260l5,73l on relief.
In about the same time the states
spent S46l SOS ,918 And the local
governments paid out another
S62l, 2O6,l15. Here is a grand total
of $5,SO8,887 1854
Nov not one cent Of this was
~ raised by taxes. The funds
we're raised by borrowing. So
whatever the load may be, it has
not fallen on the taxpayer, Who
ever he may be. Taxes have been
raised. But they have been raised
to pay the ordinary expenses of
government.
However, in addition to the sum
given above, some 100000, 900 has
been paid out in relief by states
and cities which was raised by
taxes. This, however, is but one
fifty-foursh of all our relief ex-
pendituTes.
Now as to the size of the load.
We have had about 20000,000 peo-
pie dependent on relief for this
period. This means that we have
spent in period of 20 months, $3.50
apiece on the people dependent
on relief. And this in turn means
an average of $40 a month. This
can not DE called extravagant. 1t
may be more than we can afford
which l deny. 1t may be a very
large sum. 1t may be more than
we are able to borrow without
hurting ourselves. But it amounts
to paying out an average of $40
month No one can say this is
supporting the idle in luxury.
1T would be good thing TO re-
Il member that there ere lot of
idle persons who are not on the re-
lief rolls. The number is at least
five or six million-perhaps more
How they get along, no one knows.
But they have not VET un}oaded
themselves on the taxpayers.
So far as taxes have been paid
for relief, they have been paid by
the people with the smaller in
comes. Because insofar as taxes
have been collected for relief, those
taxes have been raised by sales
taxes. Practically the entire $780,
000,0 900 of taxes raised by local COM
munities and states for relief have
been gotten by the saleS-taX
method. SO that those just little
better off than the relief victims
are paying large part of the
taxes.
Hence in discussing relief it may
be we'll to keep in mind first that
the sum actually spent is not large;
second that the relief load has not
fallen upon the taxpayers very
hard; third, that so far it has
fallen upon the low income groups.
