A STIMULUS FOR THE
PLAN

their own hOme-making problem there
fore are not in a position or should not
be expected to make a home for their
parents.
The townsend Old Age Pension Plan
will take care of all persons sixty years
or older. It calls for a tax on gross in
comes of all individuals and corpora
lions. over a reasonable expense, to pro-
vide for the aged as well as the i'll and
accident victims,
This ample pension will be paid
monthly and must be spent monthly to
put money into circulation as well as
provide work for the able.
We have not forgotten the depression
of the last decade and a prediction Of
another depression has been in print in
n of our popular periodicals.
The question often arises How can
we nav more taxes?" Did We ever think
we could pay for such a war as we are
engaged in? We hope to win, is the
reason we stand in line at the income
tax window, after we have paid for
necessary clothing, bedding or furniture
and hand over our last remaining dollar
on our income tax without complaint,
for WIN WE MUST.
Congress hesitstes to place the Town
send bill on the floor Of the House Of
Representatives, or a larger number Of
its members have opposed the plan be-
u it calls for a 8 per cent gross in
come tax.
In 1871, before war was declared,
President Roosevelt objected to Town
send plan because of the cost to the
government, that country's indebt-
edness would not allow for an old age
pension was the executives version.
At this time our country is nearing
bankruptcy. The national debt Is close
to three hundred billion dollars. If this
amount we're figured according to popu-
lation these figures would mean over
two thousand dollars each for every man,
woman and child in the country.

There is talk Of increasing govern
mental expenditures after the war but
no word about a pension plan which
would save the lives and perhaps in some
cases the sanity Of our elderly people.
However, friends, keep your interest
in the Townsend Plan to the boiling
point. Think back at the years it took
to win women's suffrage!
Senator CLAUDE Pepper of Florida in
troduced a bill embOdying the Town
send program in the upper house Of Con-
gress on March 9Th. This bill was i'm
mediately numbered and referred to the
committee on finance for consideration.
This move on the part Of Senator Pep
per came as a complete surprise both
to member OF the senate and to the
opposition.
j hope, my friends, that I have given
YOU a somewhat clear knowledge; the
meaning Of a worthwhile pension for
the aged.
Those of you who do not understand
how vitality important a liberal check re-
ceived r%eligiously every month, which
O must spend freely every thirty days
to put money in circulation, should soon
be able to realize this importance as
well as have your worries over.
Our young folks must have a future.
This can be accomplished by taking the
Builders Of America" off the payroll,
giving them the Townsend old-age pen
sion, thus making plenty Of employment
for our young men and women when
they come home to us after winning the
war.

Experiments Show Burning
Pastures Injuries Growth

To burn or not to burn is the
question that many land owners ask
themselves each spring. Usually
they succumb to the impulse to
clean up the place" Or they may
burn over their lands because they
think it improves the subsequent
growth or destroys insects. For this
reason, it is interesting to note that
experiments with blue grass pas
ture in Wisconsin showed that
burning in winter or spring reduced
yields the following year from So to
II per cent. These results were be-
lieved to be due to the damage by
fire to the roots and crowns of the
grass plants, some of which were
killed entirely. The Illinois depart
ment Of conservation reports that
burning of pasture lands in early
spring not only fails to improve the
grass, but may cut grass produc-
ton in half in a single year. OBJ
servations in Illinois have revealed
l41dt O1 1o14o SOl1oloIClIAJ OQ4A1C0s LhC
perennial grasses and other more
valuable forage plants are rapidly
replaced by annual weeds that are
nearly worthless for pasture.
The report goes on to say that a
still greater loss caused by fire, al
though not SO apparent in a single
year, is the destruction of soil fer
tility. Burning off grass or woodland
litter increases water run-off from
5 to 80 times and speeds up soil
erosion 4 to II times. 1t might also
be mentioned that spring burning de-
stroys the nests and eggs of count
less valuable song and game birds
which would have been diligent de-
stroyers of insects all summer long
if their nests had not been ravaged
