Langlie Says $40
Pension is Possible

Efficient management of the
Washington state government would
assure the aged of proper financing
of a $40 monthly pension without
additional taxes. Mayor Arthur B.
Langlie of Seattle, Republican nom
inee for governor, declaring in a
series of addresses this week.
The young mayor was in a fight
ing mood as he criticized the treat
ment of some of the aged under
the present pension act.
"Our old age assistance act
should be amended to eliminate the
nuisance features Of the present
law" Langlie declared, "such as
the pauper clause and the features
that permit shopping and petty reg
ulations so Objectionable to every
one familiar with the present ad-
ministration of this department"
Langlie advocates that the aged
should be taken care of eventually
throughout the country by nation
al old age pension plan that would
pay for itself as the money is dis
pensed. He added, however, that
until such a plan is adopted nation
ally, 81 pledge myself to promote
in this state sound pension pro-
gram to meet the needs Of the aged
on a basis of $40 a month with the
federal government matching dol
lar for dollar the states contribu-
ton"
Such a program, he declared, can
only be financed adequately If the
state government is managed eco
nomically and effectively to bring
about the necessary savings.
Too long have we promised much
and failed miserably to handle this
problem to the satisfaction Of the
people of this state" Langlie told
his listeners.
He criticized the present made
quate financing of the school sys-
tenn and pledged that If he becomes
governor, the schools shall get their
full twenty-five cents per pupil day.
