Pension Scheme

DR.. Francis f. Townsend, origin
ator OF the pension plan which bears
his name. and Upton Sinclair, lib
eral writer who offered a "produc-
ton for use" program in 1884. have
both attacked the plan as unwork-
able.
OF the 6.300,000 residents of CAL
ifornia. there are about 100000
over the age of so. mostly residents
of the southern counties. There
have been no estimates of those who
are unemployed, but it was agreed
that perhaps half were.
Since last year the plan has been
re-drawn TO incorporate a state
banking system. 1t requires the gov
ernor to name as administrator Of
the act either Owens or Kindig,
the promoters, at salary of $4,000
a year. There is no alternative and
their powers would be almost un-
limited. 1t calls for the payment
of 80 warrants of 81 value each
every Thursday TO unemployed
persons so years or older to be used
in lieu of money. A two-cent stamp,
sold by the state. would be affixed
to the back of each warrant every
week for 50 weeks. The script would
eventually be turned in to the state
treasury for redemption, the four
extra stamps theoretically covering
administrative costs.

ney for the state board of prison
directors in custer proceedings, said
county court and seek an injunction
today he would go into the Marin

resume Thursday.
Davis indicated he would chal-
lenge the jurisdiction of Governor
Culbert Olson, who is trying the
five directors on charges of incom-
potency and neglect of duty, based
on alleged brutality at the prison
here.
The hearings, which opened Fri
day, were recessed until next Thurs
day because of the special state
election.
Davis went to Los Angeles today
to interview witnesses he expects
to call for the defense. He also talk
&c over the weekend with the war
dens of two prisons, the names of
which were not disclosed. in an eff
fort to contradict testimony that
corporal punishment is contrary to
federal prison policy. Warren E. B.
Swope of Mcneil Islond penitentiary

EDMONTON, Alta, Nov. 6. CUP)
--Alberta's scrip plan, a govern
ment-sponsored prosperity scheme
operating in most details like that
of the California Ham and Eggs
proposal, proved a costly failure, its
history showed today.
The scrip plan collapsed within
four months after it was launched
in 1886 by the sociai credit govern
ment.
Members of the government later
privately acknowledged that the
plan to produce prosperity by cir
culating warrants to which stamps
were to be affixed had been a COM
plete failure.
The original plan was to issue
two million 81 units to be covered
by one cent stamps to be affixed
every time a unit was turned over
for goods.
The government, however, put out
only 250,000 units as a start. That
was all that ever were issued. BY
November the scheme had broken
down. In February of 1887 the pro-
vincial treasury had to dig down in
to its pockets to redeem the units
still outstanding.
The trial cost the taxpayers $57,-
900 or one fourth of the amount
of the scrip which had been issued.

Olson Says Plan
Won't Work; Urges
No Vote TUESDAY,

FRESNO. Cal. Nov. 6. (UP)-The
so-called Ham and Eggs" pension
plan will prove to be a failure if
it passes the statewide referendum
on Tuesday, Gov. Culbert L. Olson
declared in a radio broadcast in
which he declined to support the
plan.
The governor, voicing his views
on propositions which come before
the voters tomorrow, conceded that
he had been helped into office by
the pension plan advocates, but he
declared that since its revision he
had found it "fallacious and un-
workable and would prove a dis
appointment to the senior citizens
who were supposedly were intended
to benefit by it,
Olson asked his constituents to
vote as follows:
Against Proposition No. (pen-
sion plan)
For Proposition No. (Which reg
ulateS small loan brokers)
For Proposition No. "a similar
act
For Proposition No. 5, (Which
controls the production of oil and
gas).
Last night he devoted his speech
to the pension plan, which he term
ed possibly the most controversial
measure ever initiated.
IF my failure to support Pro-
position No. |. or my position With
reference (to iD would mean my
walking out of the governors office,
I could not take any other course
in keeping with my conscience, "
the governor said
Il could not. by word or deed, be
placed in a position of influencing
you to adopt a measure which would
only mean your greater disappoint-
ment in its adoption than will be
your disappointment in its defeat" "
He said he believed that a vast
number of people supporting the
measure are those who had suffered
from "a failure of our economic
system to provide for a place for
you in it; suffering from a frustra-
ton of all your efforts to attain
security in your declining years;
suffering for lack of food clothing
and other commodities which
would permit a life of health and
decency."

YREKh, Cal, Nov. 6. (UP)-Sis-

funds of the county in an Oregon
bank early Wednesday if the Ham
and Eggs pension plan is adopted
tomorrow.
Chairman w. T. Davidson of
Fort Jones bluntly stated:
I'VE will not turn over one penny
of public money to that gang from
Los Angeles
Siskiyou county is situated next
to the oregon border. The super
visors said they were worried by
a clause in the "30-ThurSday'' PEN
sion plan which would require all
public tax money in the treasury
of the state or any city, county or
any public district to be turned
over to the credit clearing bank
set up under the act.

Ohio
Scheme
Tested

COLUMBUS. O., Nov 6. CUP)-
Ohio's oldsters seek pensions of $50
a month tomorrow in heated cleo
ton expected to set an off-year
recorc OF 2.5O0.000 votes.
Led by the Rev Herbert S. Bige-
low. a 69-year-old former congress-
man of Cincinnati. they seek to in
crease the present old age pensions
averaging $23 monthly, paid to
persons over IS. to $50 to single
persons over go and $50 for married
couples.
The pension forces, which re-
ceiYed the endorsement-but not
the active support-of the Ohio
Federation of Labor, have been
opposed by a committee represen-
ing more thar 40 organizations
including the Ohio Chamber of
Commerce, the state grange and
farm bureau patriotic and profess
sional goups, and organizations OF
bankers, merchants and manufac-
turers.
The campaign has been heated
and bitter. BigeloW filed a $250,000
suit in Lucas tToledo) county COM
mon pleas court Saturday against
nine officers and directors of the
committee, the state chamber and
the Toledo chamber of commerce,
charging them with defaming his
character
DR. Mark Millkin of Hamilton,
one of the three original sponsors
predicted today that the plan would
be defeated. He said the proposal
was headed in the right direction"
but that there are mistakes in
the way it is drafted"
BigeloW, who contends that his
plan would cost the state no more
than $60,000000 a year, proposes
a special two per cent levy on land
valued at more than $4,000 an
acre and a state income tax one
fourth of the federal levy to fl
nance the payments.
State Tax Commissioner William
S. Eyatt, estimating the cost at
annually said that the
taxes proposed in the plan would
yield no more than $140,000 900 a
year
President Roosevelt termed the
Bigelow plan fantastic and DR..
Francis E. Townsend, the father
of the movement for old age pen
sionS, has called it unWorkable.
Another Bigelow proposal also
appears or tomorrow's ballot. 1t
would require the signatures of only
100000 voters to submit a conSti-
tutional amendment to the people,
only $4,000 signatures for submis-
sion of a proposed law and elimi-
nate the present statute requiring
initiation of bills in the legislature.
