WHERE'S MONEY COMING FROM?

W. Lee (Please Pass the Biscuits, Pappy) O'Daniel, beat the field for governor of Texas, and is so certain of election that he is spending most of his time figuring out how to raise the money to pay the liberal pen- sions which were one of the pillars of his campaign.
 Though pensions are not state issue in Ohio, the friction between the state and national pension offices over administration of the present law there focuses attention on 1t. And half dozen of the most likely congressional candi- dates in Ohio are pledged to the Townsend or other pension plans which go far beyond the present law.
 The hearing before Doughton's committee will take up not only the Townsend Plan, but that of the General Welfare Federation, which would be financed by a 2 per cent gross income tax.
 Whether any of the pension plans will be adopted or not on a national basis. 1t is certain that the renewed pension pressure throughout the country will grease the way for extending the present social security system.

UNANIMOUS IN WISCONSIN

States like California, Texas, Maine and Florida, already find pension plans the chief issue in Mo- vember.
 Oregon, Kansas and Missouri will vote on pension plans outside the federal security setup and Nebras- ka, North Dakota, and Missouri will ballot on proposals to enlarge bene- fits under the social security act. Colorado will vote on a proposed repeal of its pension law in Novem- Der and pensions loom as political issues in Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Idaho, Washington, Kansas, West Virginia, and upstate New York.
 In Wisconsin, all three parties are pledged to bigger and better pensions.
 The Townsend movement, which died down somewhat after its 1886 climax, is going strong again. The federal-state pensions of from $20 to $50 a month which are actually in effect look small beside the $200-a-month goal of the Town sendites. And federal retirement Insurance on which one pays premiums until 65 before collect- ing seems pallid beside Califor- nia's $50 Every Thursday"
 California is seeing bitter struggle over the pension proposal sponsored by Sheridan Downey, which he used to beat Senator McAdoo and shatter the regular" Democratic organization. Frantic backfires. are being built against the Ham and Eggs for Califor- nians" plan for $30 a week in tax stamp redeenable scrip for every one over 50. With desperation unseen since the bid for The gov- ernorship by Upton Sinclair in 1886, conservative forces are leav- ing no stone unturned to woo the voters away from trying to vote themselves into the life of Riley.
 In conservative Maine, the Re- publican party has endorsed the Townsend Plan, and thus Maine can scarcely fail to send Town send representatives to the next congress.

he likes it or not they have made him

Mr., Hungerford said President

party has perfect right to say that

that most anybody at all would make

Plea for Bridges in
Maryland.

President Roosevelt's approaching
visit to Maryland's Eastern Shore has
started feverish activity in two diff
ferent groups-the State Roads Com
mission OF Maryland and the City
Council Of Denton, where the Presi-
dent will speak Monday.
In anticipation of the first presi-
Dental visit since Andrew Jackson
went there century ago, crews Of
decorators went into action bedecking
Denton streets and buildings with
flags and bunting. When the supply
OF decorations from the recent fire-
mems carnival was exhausted, deco
rations and decorators were sum-
moned from Baltimore to do Justice
to the occasion with funds appro-
pr!ated by the City Council.
Meanwhile, in Baltimore Chairman
j. Glenn Beall and Chief Engineer
Nathan L. Smith of the Roads Com
mission, who with Gov. Nice will rep
resent the commission, were prepar-
ing plans for the proposed bridge over
the Potomac River near Morgantown.
