According to Walter Lippmann’s column in a recent issue of the Chi* # cago Daily News, the Townsend old age pension plan, to pay S2OO per month to every citizen more than 60 years of age means that Dr. Townsend believes that of the 10,300,000 persons eligible for the pension, 8,000,000 will apply for it. At $2,400 a year the annu&i cost of the Townsend plan would therefore be about $19,200,000,000 plus the cost of administering it. This sum would have to be raised by a general sales tax. Retail sales for last year were about 30 billion dollars. So the plan would have meant that for every dollar any one spent in a store he would have to pay an additional 70 cents tax. For every SIOO a person now spends, according to Lippman, he would have but S6O to spend under the Townsend plan. He claims that Dr. Townsend’s error lies in forgetting the simple trqth that some one must produce wealth which £8 consumed by the nonproducers, be they infants, old people, sick, the unemployed, the idle rich, or the criminal He goee on: When the depression was going strong 16 million persons had been removed from productive labor. It did not make us prosperous. And for a very simple? reason. Those who still had job* had to support those who did not have them. In a later issue of the paper, in his column Walter Lippman wrote that he had received a letter from Dr. Townsend in which the doctor said that Lippman failed to understand his scheme for raising 20 billion dollars a, year: According to Lippman, pr. Townsend has read somewhere that jn L 929 the United States did 000,000,000 of business. And iflPne thought that a mere 2 per cent on this would pay the bill. j Lippman sajrs: Dr. Townsend has confused the sum of all transactions in the United States with the total national income. He believes if a farmer sells a bushel of wheat for $1 to a miller, who sells it to the baker for $2 who sells it to the consumer j for $3, there is a fund of $6 subject to tax. That is how Dr. Townsend has managed to think that there is an annual fund of $1,208,000,000,000 which he can draw upon by a 2 per cent tag to support his pensioners. As a matter of fact even in 1929 the total national income was probably not $90,000,000,000 which is leas than one-third of Dr. Townsend's estimate. At the present time the total national income is about $60,000,000,000 or about one-twenty-ftfth of his estimate. If Dr. Townsend’s estimate had been correct the total income of each than, woman and child in the United States would be around SIO,OOO a year. Lippman concludes by saying: “The easiest way to demonstrate the fallacy of his conclusions is to note thst if Dr. Townsend could raise 20 billion dollars by a mere 2 per cent tax, then he could balance the federal budget for 1936 by a tax of twofifths of 1 per cent. “Just think of it! He could then pay off the whole national debt in one year by a tax of 3 per cent. He could pay off all state and local debt by a tax of 1H per cent!" A number of registered voters in Syracuse have received notices from the county clerk, this past week, that since they have not Voted in the past two y ear* they must register again to be permitted ’to vote in any future election. Several have complained to the Journal office tbpy have voted everytime since being registered and want to know why it hasn't been noticed and why they’ve received word that they must register again. The Journal Office has no advice to offer except: it up with the county clerk.

This money is used to pay school teachers. Daniel Kiink, retiring trustee, said that the township should have been paid on 15 teachers instead of 14 as was done. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Checks totalling $39,600 were mailed Saturday to schools of Kosciusko county as their share of more than $4,000,000 of gross income tax funds being distributed to schools by the state, it was announced by Floyd I. McMurray, state superintendent of public instruction. With the receipt of the gross income tax money this week, Kosciusko county schools will have received $57,287.09 from the state’s three new replacement tax laws during the first half of the present school year, which began August 1. On October 15, distribution from the intangibles tax amounted to $5,800.22 and on November 1, distribution of $11,886.87 were made from the liquor or excise tax. Further distributions during the school year will be made April 15 from the intangibles tax, May 1 from the excise tax and July 1 from the gross income tax. The gross income tax distribution i now being made is based on S2OO for each teaching unit.

TWO CHURCHES MAY j •4 UNITE IN FUTURE; Evangelical and U. B. Members to Meet in Warsaw Jan. 22; Union Considered. There has-been talk in Syracuse the past week that the Evangelical and United Brethren churches are to j be united at once. According to Rev. Pritchard: The much discussed union of the j United Brethren church and the Evangelical church will not come as soon as some people have ben led to think. There are many difficulties to be overcome before an organic union of these denominations could be consumated. If organic union could be accomplished the new body could consist of three-fourths of a million members. “There is a common heritage. Both churches started within a few miles of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Both grew out of German stock in that vicinity. Both churches for years used only the German language. The disciplines are similar. The church organizations are somewhat alike. “These churches have been courting union for many years. During the past two years definite steps have been taken. Two preliminary meetings of the two boards of Bishops have been held in Dayton, O. The special Commissions on Church Federation and ’Union have held meetings at which time frank and brotherly discussions of the issues between them, the actual status, favorable or otherwise, was clearly set forth. That much, at least, has been accomplished. “A joint Retreat of the Evangeli-cal-United Brethren church will be held at the First United Brethren Church of Warsaw, Indiana, on Tuesday, January 22, 1935. Rev. A. E, Knepp, Superintendent of the i St. Joseph Conference, United Brethren church, will preside in the morning session which opens at 10:00 o'clock. Bishop George Edward Epp. D. D. of Chicago, ! Bishop of the Central Area of the | Evangelical church will address this i session. After the noon Luncheon and Fellowship, Rev. D. A. Kaley, District Superintendent, Indiana Con-

THURSDAY, JAN. It, 1935

mm WSLJII If MINISTER RESIGNS Sunday morning Rev. A. J. Armstrong announced his resignation to the local Methodist congregation, stating that he had accepted an offer to fill the pulpit at Stambaugh, Mich., and that he would go there, with his family by Jan. 16. A pot luck dinner will be enjoyed at the Methodist church, Sunday, following the morning services, the party being in honor of Rev. and Mrs. Armstrong. BIRTHDAY. January thirteeth is President Roosevelt’s birthday. It may be new to you but one of the President’s hobbies is stamp collecting. He probably has one of the greatest collections of stamps in the world. A movement sponsored by Ernest Dudly Chase of Boston has for its purpose the presentation to President Roosevelt on occasion of his birthday a greeting made up of autographed stamps of one find two cent variety, and autographed by people from every community. I have been asked to co-operate in this movement. This huge postcard, made up of autographed stamps is approximately 150 feet long when unfolded. This huge card will be made up in segments of 22x33 inches. This will be the size of the card when the President receives it. The stamps will be so arranged on this card that when it is unfolded; to the 150 foot length, these stamps will spell the words: | “Birthday Greetings to Franklin Roosevelt. ” | To those people of this community I who would be represented on this huge card, just purchase a one or two cent stamp, autograph your, name and town across the face of it, ; and send or bring it to me before January 15, 1935. I will see that these are forwarded to Boston and incorporated on the huge greeting card. Do your part. MAYME WOGOMAN STUDIO and GIFT SHOP. Syracuse — Phonell7
