SUCCESSFUL sCUFFLE

 The other idea was the subsidy of wheat and cotton exports. There was a quick but modulated yarp about the wheat subsidy but the cotton subsidy divided even the cot ton people, some for it, some against it, and some against the type of direct subsidy which Wallace pro- posed. Many feared it would wreck prices for the vast bulk of cotton now in storage.
 But what happened after all this?
 The appropriations he requested were increased in several in- stances. What the House shaved off here and there the Senate added in fuller measure.

he would carry on the fight.
Gall the money, newspapers and
radios Of Ohio were against the poor
people," he said.
He said he would start today to
file new petitions to present the plan
again next year.
The off-year election drew a rec4
ord-number Of voters.
Persons over IS now get, under
the present pension law, ap average
Of $23 month.
Bigelow Contention
Bigelow, SO year old former con-
gresham, had contended that his
proposal would cost the state only
100000 a year and could be paid
for through special two per cent
levy on land valued at more than
$4,000 an acre and a state income
tax levy one-fourth Of the federal
levy. State officials said the PEN
sions would amount to 1910, 900
year, and Bigelow's tax plan would
yield only $l4o,0o0,00o.
President Roosevelt said the idea
was fantastic" and DR.. Francis e.
Townsend, leader OF the $200-a-
month pension plan, said 1t couldn't
work.
The Ohio emergency committee,
organized among civic, business and
political groups fought the plan.
Bigelow Is suing nine officers and
directors of the committee, the
Toledo Chamber OF Commerce and
the Ohio chamber for alleged de-
famation Of character.
The Bigelow pension plan was Of
fered as constitutional amendment.
Bigelow also proposed a constitu-
tional amendment which would have
required only 100000 voters sigma
lures to submit any constitutional
amendment to the people and would
have permitted a petition signed by
$4,000 voters to initiate a law, with
out legislative action. This was vot-
ed down almost 8 to !.

It was the second time the "ham
and eggs" proponents had tried to
get the voters to approve their
scheme and the returns indicated
that they would be defeated this
time more enphatically than year
ago when they lost by 255, 900 votes.
They elected Olson governor then
and his refusal to support them this
year angered them more than any
thing else.
The vote was exceptionally heavy,
due to the long and bitter campaign
and 1t was this which was believed
to have defeated the plan. The Re-
tirements Life Payments assocation
itself represented an organized bloc
Of 100000 voters.
Election offlcials estimated that
upward Of 10 per cent Of the $780,
900 qualified voters had exercised the
franchise
Olson broke with his former poll
teal sponsors because this year they
proposed establishing a state bank,
which would have been designated
the sole depository Of all municipal
funds, to assure the pension war;
rants having sufficient backing to
pass as tender. He alo objected

The nam and egg" Utopia Is as
follows:
The state you'd pay 10 ZACH I'M
employee clti ;en so years old or old
err 30 warrants Of q face value Of 81
every Thursday.
These warrants would be legal
tender for taxes and fes, and, the
hackers believed, private persons
would accept them In lieu OF money.
But for the warrant to retain Its
face value, a two-cent stamp, pro-
vided by Its holder, would have to
be fixed to 1t each week.
At the end Of year, the state
treasury would redeem each warrant
bearing 50 two cent stamps at Its
face value.
Thus the two-cent stamps repre-
senting a sales tax, would finance
the pension and provide margin o:
four cents on each dollar for ad-
ministrative expenses.
The amendment provided for a
three per cent gross tax on all in
comes over $1,000 to provide capital
and reserve funds for its proposed
state bank.
The plan was denounced by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and other national
and state leaders. 1t had the united
opposition Of business groups, citi-
zens organizations, and most news
papers.
