Planning To Form
New Townsend Club
In This Community

Tom Wall and other Coolidge
disciples Of the Towsend old age
pension plan are planning to re-
organize a Towsend club here along
the lines Dr. Towsend is working.
According to Wall DR.. Towsend
is now endeavOring to raise a fund
Of several million dollars to put his
revamped plan over. The plan in
brief to some extent gets away from
the 5000 per month for every man
and woman more than 65 years old,
and would levy a transaction tax of
, percent, the funds to be deposit
ed with the Federal governme ent
and prorated mOng the beneficiaries.
This plan might pay $50 or more
dollars per month, and it is believed
it can be worked out.
There was at one time a very
active Townsend club in Coolidge
and it is very probable that it can
be reformed into a more powerful
organization than was the old club.

and your International Exposition
ana in Mexico, where our budget fo
new highways and new railway
lines is greater than our military
budget, show that we are really
carrying out the good neighbol
