Rogers knows most every person of importance, from the nobility to the man in the street. And he joshes them all in unaffected good humor. As a ambassador of the cause of the plain people, Rogers in his stories raises the question and gives it the slant few but the former cow puncher could handle. He has become as internationally renowned as a comic relief as was formerly his skill as a horse show entertainer with his riding and roping. Rogers takes pride in the fact he is a genuine American, as both of his parents have an admixture of Cherokee Indian blood in their veins. After many years of ranch life he went to New York where he made such a hit with his act it was but an easy step into vaudeville. Rogers early vaudeville act was made up mostly of fancy roping, with a little bit of talk thrown in. Gradually he made more of his monologue, turning it Into chatty comment on current affairs. Will Rogers now resides In Hollywood, with ample grounds, a large stable and a tanbark arena for riding practice. Last Evening. . The Townsend plan of old age revolving pensions was explained by speakers to a large assemblage eve-of local people at the Armory last ning. Lewis Jones Introduced the speakers of the evening. C. H. Lamb of San Francisco declared that the system was feasible and will bring prosperity and end the depression. Ho explained that the plan calls upon the national government to assume this function, which would give each American over 60 years a life pension of $200 reper month, who has no criminal cord and who agrees to refrain from any further participation In industry. The money thus received from the government, which is to be raised by a special sales tax, must be spent each month by those benefited. Dr. Townsend proposes that the government appropriate two billion dollars The for the first month's pensions. sales tax would then take care of the fund required. The immediate putting into circulation of this vast amount of money and the withdrawal from productive labor of ten million men and women, thus opening up work for others, and would so stimulate industry business that the sales tax would be no burden on the people. The sales tax is the only tax lhat everybody pays and therefore this tax is the only fair one. L. H.
