where he had cached his gun under
his house, although at that time he
denied any knowledge of the girls

Youth fer WEEK Age Ter Leiss


No little interest has been arous-
ed-even outside Of the Townsend
organization by the announcement
Of few weeks ago that Congress
man Bell was responsible for the
appointment Of q special commit
tee in congress, to trace the ulti-
mate destination of the dimes and
quarters so merrily flowing in to
Townsend headquarters and dis
turbing the peace Of mind Of q
large number, Of aspiring congress
men, to whom the realization Of the
ever and swiftly growing member
ship in the Townsend organiza-
ton is becoming more and more of
a real menace. Is it any wonder
then, that opponents Of the Town
send plan are almost at loss to
find words which would adequately
express their contempt for the plan.
When some Of our representatives
in congress attempt to ridicule the
Townsend Old Age Annuity plan by
asserting that it is fantastic and
impossible that the average annuit-
ant could not possibly spend the
whole amount Of the 200 dollars in
one month, and that shiftless rela-
tives, and in-laws would take adj
vantage of the situation to give up
any jobs they may have, to live on
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1936-03-26

the bounty of the annuitant, they
surely must overlook the fact that
there are at the present time an
ever increasing number Of young
couples compelled to live and exist
in ramshackle houses, often over
crowded, unsanitary, and unfit for
decent people to rear their child
rem, and many of these families in
spite Of these trying conditions are
endeavoring to care for their old
and infirm parents as best they
can.
To assume that these anuitants
would not buy or build comfortable
homes, step from . meager exist
ence into Q state Of well-being II
given the opportunity to do 50, Is
to say the least, showing q very de-
plor1ble lack Of common sense, and
IN utter disregard for the well be-
ing Of their needy constituents to
tionwhom they In their flowery pre-
election speeches promised to legis-
late q speedy relief. Is it any won
der then, that the rank and file Of
the people are rapidly awakening
to the sad realization Of these many
broken and forgotten promiese for
which they foolishly sold their vote,
and are now arising in q mighty
protest, heard throughout the en-
tire nation that they shall not, and
will not again be misled by empty
promises which were so cheerfully
offered in exchange for their sup
port.
Truly the epigram which our pres
ident, Franklin d. Roosevelt, once
uttered-"The power Of the people
once aroused in a fixed purpose, is
the most irresistible force in the
world" may prove to be a stone
wall against the political aspira-
lions Of a large number of our pres
ent deluded servants in congress
who wilfully blind their eyes, and
close their ears to the pleading sup
plications Of their many constitu-
ents, for the profit OF the selected
few.
