CONGRESSMAN SECREST SPEAKS
TO LARGE CROWD HERE

Inc meeting of the Townsend
clup mere Tuesday night in the high
schooI auditorium was largely at
tended, fully 400 persons being
present. Congressman Secrest. the
speaker, dWelt at length on the
townsend measure he supported in
congress, which is modified YER
sion or the original Townsend plan.
winch provided for pension OF
$200 per month for every person in
the United States after reaching the
age OF 90 years, regardless of their
wealth, stating that Henry Ford
would have been eligible for the
pension, and all other rich men.
The new measure provided that a
certain tax be levied and the pro-
ceeds divided among worthy appli-
cants for pensions. The initial paw
ment would be perhaps $50 per
month. and persons having small in
comes would be paid the difference
between their income and the
amount of the pension. No money
would be paid out until it was ac-
tually raised. The bill provided that
from amount received in pensions.
10 percent of it would have to be
used for the payment of debt: and
also that those receiving the pen
sion must pay bills for rent, food.
clothing. and other necessities Of
life. and if not, the pension would
be taken away from them.
Mr.. Secrest said that he knew Of
no public official advocating the re-
peal of old age assistance. He be-
lieves that it should be the same in
every state. At present he pointed
out that the amounts vary in differ
ent states; but in every instance the
national government puts up one
half the money and the states the
other half, and he called attention
to the conflict that exists in the
states regarding their share of mon
ey, giving as example our own state.
OF the social security bill Mr.. Sc
crest stated it needed to be strength
ened and made better. and said the
Townsend bill would ben
eft rather than harm the present
social security program He said
The social security act now provides
hat aid be given dependent chill
1ren, but because of lack of funds
n Ohio and elsewhere, thousands of
children are unable to receive neces-
,ary help
Mr.. Secrest believes the Townsend
Measure will come up again in con-
sress and predicted that when it
loes many more congressman will
vote for it than did before He be-
ieves the measure is good, sound
egislation.
