Show PAGE TWO PROVO (UTAH) EVENING HERALD, - MONDAY, D E C E M B E R - 1 3, 1 9 3 6 I The Towns end Plan I Will It Work? EDITOR'S NOTE -This is tbe second and last article written in answer to the exposition ex-position of Mr. Flynn on the Townsend plan. I am very familiar with the townsend literature, and in no , place does it state that the pensioners pen-sioners will not receive the cash. Mr. Fynn says it will be placed in the bank to be checked against, not a bad idea at that. Here he continues to attack the characters, the veracity, and the honesty of the pensioners, for says Flynn, "you can not check up on his purchases to see if he collaborated " with his dealer to get some cash on his check (small change being necessary). It would take an army of snoopers and sleuths ten times as big as the prohibition army." Thank God that I have more faith in the honor and honesty of our aged. This imaginary system of banking bank-ing needs no comment for it isn't the Townsend plan. It would be expected that at the end of each month the pensioners pen-sioners would give an itemized 'statement of their expenditures, accompanied by receipts, sworn to before a notary, that they were correct. In case of being apprehended appre-hended on any collaboration with the dealer, both would be guilty of fraud and suffer the penalty of the law and the pension would be withdrawn. No one other than an imbecile would take the chance. Mr. Flynn says "there can be little doubt that the plan would not aid the economic society. That being so, it would not help the aged." These last two statements are both false. Let me refer to an investigation of the United States chamber of commerce. It was found that every person who spent $200 per month purchased sufficient amount of goods to use the equal of one employee at a good salary. Therefore There-fore if 10,000,000 pensioners spend $200 per month each, it would require the hiring of 10,000,000 persons to produce the goods. This would mean employment, at School News STUDENTS MAKE NEW RESOLUTIONS B. Y. U. TRAINING SCHOOL The children at the B. Y. U. Training- school are happy to be back to school. Some of the rooms have made a few resolutions resolu-tions for the new year. The fourth grade have decided to: 1 Trv to be obedient, courte ous, polite and helpful to all. 2 - Form good health habits. 3- Keep the school's appearance neat. 4 Avoid the use of slang. The fifth grade have decided to: 1 Set a good reputation for our , school. 2- Keep up with our " studies. 3 Keep our school building clean. 4 - Be careful with our school supplies.

No matter how many medicines you have tried for your cough, chest cold or bronchial irritation, you can get relief now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble may be brewing and you cannot afford to take a chance with anything less than Creomulsion, Creomul-sion, which goes right to the seat of thef trouble to aid nature to soothe and heal the inflamed membranes mem-branes as the germ-laden phlegm is loosened and expelled. Even tf other remedies have failed, don't be discouraged, your druggist is authorized to guarantee Creomulsion and to refund your money if you are not satisfied with results from the very first bottle. Get Creomulsion right now. (Adv.) We Carry Complete Stock E3Gse?s2 BRUSHES BRUSH SPRINGS BEARINGS - WICKS Any Make Motor Repaired - ?eE Efleston 46 North Univ.

You would, no doubt, be interested inter-ested to know how beneficial this would be to every line of business in Provo. 2650 In Provo I have made a brief survey to find the number of persons who would be eligible for the persion. 2650, each forced to spend $200 per month would amount to $530,-000 $530,-000 per month or $6,360,000 per year. This money would be spent in every line of business in Provo, ultimately benefiting the entire population. Let us not forget the statement of Dr. Doane, the great economist, that prices would not necessarily increase more than 10 per cent. Could Mr. Flynn question this being an economic benefit to the Provo people ? One of the leading merchants in Provo told me if this added amount in purchasing power were put over, his shelves would be emptied in less than 60 days. He would have to telegraph for goods, he would not have time to write for them. It makes no difference what line of work those over 60 are doing for gain, professional, clerical, farmers or manual laborers, it would leave their jobs open for younger persons. Mr Fynn again juggles figures in regard to the $2,500,000,000 claimed by Townsendites expended for the support of poor houses in the United States, which would be eliminated by the Townsend plan. The asserts the cost could not exceed $100,000,000 which is very far from $2,500,000,000 claimed. The official reports from only 28 states filed by the Arizona state legislature reveals the following: Cost of poor houses in 28 states $ 2,500.000,000 Cost of all forms of relief 36.0O0.0O0.00O Cost of all forms of crime 18,000.000,000 Loss by lower wages and time 1932 ..25.000,000,000 Total $81,500,000,000 I If we agree that it would close i the poor houses, cut down the ex- j pense of crime one half, and re- ' store labor to standard, wages we j would save the government $11 -000,000,000 and restore to wage ! earners $25,000,000,000 per year. We would be on the happy road to a balanced budg-et. S. H. JONES j -Y' LEADERSHIP WEEK JAN. 27-31 (Continued from Page One) motion pictures and other visual aids.

Robertson, professor i of nilisic at the Rrip'ham Ynnn? university, won signal honors as a composer recently when he was declared the winner of the $50 cash prize for the best composition composi-tion entered by a Utah composer in the Helen Sheets contest, sponsored spon-sored by the McCune School of music. Flattering comment was made by the judge who handled the 30 entries in the contest. "In my opinion, there is a very wide gap between the works of Mr. Robertson and the others," he said. "He possesses real musicianship, mus-icianship, and a knowledge of composition which none of the others have. Mr. Robertson is a serious, splendid musician and by all means should have the prize."' Prof. Robertson entered an organ or-gan sonata, an organ fantasie, and three concert etudes for piano. Some of the compositions have been played here by Jay j Keeler. organvst and Dilworth ' i Simmons, pianist and have re- j , ceived high praise by many i critics. SEWER PLANS MAKE PROGRESS Construction of the west side sewer is seen as a distinct possibility possi-bility by Mayor Mark Anderson, following a meeting Thursday night, in which citizens of the district dis-trict assembled, and another meeting meet-ing Saturday, in which means of financing the job were discussed. Another meeting of west side property owners is scheduled for Monday at 7:30 in the Dixon junior jun-ior high school, when plans will be drawn for making the project possible. pos-sible. Recognizing that the project could not o forward under the special improvement district plan, because of legal difficulties, Mayor Anderson called the initial meeting meet-ing and has proposed a means for financing it otherwise. A local bank may finance the buying of materials with labor to be furnished fur-nished by the WPA. The project will not only furnish more labor than any other possible job, but will be a means of getting sewer service to the west side at an exceptionally low price. The project will consist of the installation of 34,000 feet of trunk lines and laterals, about 78 blocks, some of which will have to be placed as deep as 14 feet in the ground. It is estimated that the cost will be only 50 or 60 cents a front foot, or about $35 for the average property owner. The Provo canyon culinary pipe line project is checkmated at present pres-ent by right-of-way difficulties through Dorinan's property at Upper Up-per Falls. Best Time To Pay Income Tax Now Now is the best time for obtaining obtain-ing help in filling out income tax blanks and in getting license plates for trucks or passenger automobiles automo-biles at the Provo office of the State Tax commission. Near the last part of February the office will be crowded with last-minute automobile drivers getting plates, warns Paul Holt, manager, who especially urges truck drivers to come in early. All trucks must be weighed before plates can be obtained, and it means making two trips to the office. Employes at the office also have more time now to ht-lp in making out the income tax reports, than they will have when the rush for plates .is on. The deadline on income in-come tax reports is March 15. In England and Wales, all bulls more than 10 years old must be licensed.
