THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TOWNSEND PLAN TO BE LAUGHED OUT OF CAPITAL

Congress Sure to Put K. 0. Punch on Doctor’s . Pension Scheme. BY RODNEY DUiCHER .VEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. The Townsend plan for old-age pensions will be laughed out of Washington and many old hearts probably will be broken in the process. On the other hand, scores of bright young stenographers on Capitol Hill will be darned glad when the old folks -stop hoping for that S2OO a month. You find them working into the dinner hour, night after night, monotonously typing off letters advising constituents that the Senator or the Representative has received their communication about the Townsend plan and is giving intense consideration to old-age pension proposals. No one quite remembers when so many letters and postal cards w 'e coming in support of a bill. Locking over batches of them, you’re chiefly impressed by what seems to be the desperate character of a large portion. Threats in Letters Pleas of need aye interspersed with solemn assurances that the recipients will be able to spend the money, as the Townsend plan would require—and how! More than every other letter bears a threat—“We voted for you in the last election and, if you stand with us now, will do so again.” Few barrages of organized pleas are quite as crude about that as these Townsend letters, so often writen by shaky hands. So many threats are bound to have some effect. You will find a substantial—but ineffective and in many cases insincere—bloc of congressmen who will tell you they’re in favor. Few of them ever expect a chance to vote on the measure. though Congressman John S. McGroarty of California, who introduced it in the House, already claims 95 pledged to back it. It May Do Some Good Although the high hopes of many of the aged will be dashed, the Townsend agitation may do some good. The Administration and Congress may consent to a more liberal oldage pension system than they would

Miss Gertrude Bluemel “Hold Everything,” a farce, will be given next Thursday and Friday by St. Paul’s Walther League at St. Paul's Hall, Weghorst and Wright-sts. In the cast are Gertrude Bluemel, Kenneth Click, Pauline Duhn, Ruth Dunn, Mrs. A1 Eggerding, Paul Gerkensmeyer, Esther Kritsch, Gilbert Mascher, Donald Rugenstein, Wilbur Siefer, Charlotte Witte and Mildred Zabel. have considered if there had been no Dr. Townsend, even though they refuse to stand the whole economic system on its head at the behest of the doctor and his followers. No one can be quite sure what would happen if the Townsend plan were adopted, but any economist you meet w’ill assure you it would 3e pretty awful. When it comes to the sales or transactions tax designed to finance ;he plan, Townsendites seem to leap about from one figure to another and the figures often seem jnreliable. When the plan seemed to comprehend a 10 per cent retail sales tax, it was quickly pointed out that, sven on 1929 business, that would amount to but a fourth of an estimated $20,000,000,000 a year needed to pay the pensions. Somebody else carefully figured aut that the plan would mean a 70 per cent tax on everything you bought and one simple way of criticizing the plan is to say it would ;ake half the present national in:ome and give it to 8 or 9 per cent Df the population. Lately, Dr. Townsend has been talking in trillions—proposing a 2 per cent sales tax on a trillion dollars and more of sales such as he says we had in 1928 and 1929.

BILL PROPOSES LUTZ POST BE MADEELECTIVE House Republican to Offer Bill Restoring Choice to Voters. The office of attorney-general would be made elective under the terms of a bill now benig prepared by Rep. H. H. Evans R(., Newcastle), for introduction in the House of Representatvies. The measure • would remove the power given the Governor in 1933 to appoint the head of the state law department, and probably will be ready for introduction this week. Selection of the attorney-general by the Governor was one of the measures adopted by the 78th Gen-

eral Assembly in the reorganization of the state government. Rep. Evans believes it is advisable to return the power to select the attorney-general to the voters in order that elective officers shall have the majority control in two imjtortant state departments—the law' department and the department of audit and control. By virtue of his office, the Governor is an ex-officio member of the division of attorney-general and of the Audit and Control Department. Rep. Evans will argue before the House that with the aid of his appointee, the Governor can control decisions of the two departments. The proposed Evans bill marks the first of a series of measures which are expected to be introduced by the Republicans to modify the 1933 governmental reorganization. During the last state campaign the Republicans unsuccessfully sought to convince the people an unsafe degree of control of the state government had been given the Governor. The bills are not expected to be adopted, but the Republican strategy’ is to provide campaign material for
