form of government to take hold,
it will take generations to repair
the damage and return to democ-
racy," he told association members
gathered at the Barbara Worth
hotel.
Whitelaws attacks were aimed
at propaganda that tends to stir
discomfort among the people and
he pointd out the parallels in Eu-
rope where such discomfort made
it possible for relationships to grow
almost over night.
Clothed in its proper form of
Nazism or Communism we are not
SO afraid, but the danger lies in
propaganda that is delivered under
the guiSe of patriotism" he assert
ed.
Whitelaw's address was one of
series that will extend through
the summer, Charles Childers, asso-
citation head, explained. Other
members of the association will
explain other phases of dangers
menacing the nation, he said. Next

Could Pay Taxes With Them.
Unlike their 1898 models, the new
type Of warrant would have sew
eral features designed to enhance
its acceptability.
1t could be used to pay all taxes
and fees due to the State, the
counties. cities and their agencies.
1t would be exempt from the 3 per
cent gross income tax and the 3 per
cent sales tax. Merchants thus
could escape considerable taxation
by accepting warrants.
The warrants also could be de-
posted in the Peoples Bank and
used like checking accounts. If
kept on demand deposit they would
depreciate at the rate of per cent
weekly; if on time deposit they
might be loaned to others who
would bear the weekly tax.
Proponents estimated 100000 per-
sons would qualify as pensioners.
This would require a yearly war
rant issue of $78O,OOO 900. Sup
porters figured the weekly tax fea-
ture would make the warrants circu-
late faster than cash and thus
create new business enough to more
than double the States present
gross turnover, which they esti-
mated at $4,000, 100000 annually.

ment and thereby make room in
the business world for the jobless
younger men and women.
Charles ]. Husband, tax expert
for the pension group, said it thus
would eliminate California's acute
relief problem and thereby cut the
5000, 900 900 State-county-city aggre-
gate tax bill in half.
Experts Dispute Claims.
A committee of experts favoring
the plan contradicted opposition
assertions that the warrants would
lose value because they could not
be used to buy goods originating out
side the State.
These experts argued that the
warrants would work as we'll as
checks. They asserted the available
cash in the United States repre-
sented only 3 per cent of the coun-
try's annual transactions and that
the other 81 per cent was carried
on in credit, which they likened to
the warrant system.
They said the warrants could buy
out-of-State goods as long as there
was a demand in the rest of the
country and the world for Cali
fornla products, which would mean
a continuous flow of sufficient cash
to keep things moving.
They said there would be no un-
due price initiation or collapse of
warrant values as long as the total
pension certificate circulation were
