Acts and Facts of Townsendism By Walter R. Robb (This is a non-political, non-partisan article dealing in Townsend news and views, and written by a prominent Townsend leader. Any opinions which are expressed herein are not necessarily those of the magazine). Last week's column was concluded with the statement "the Townsend people have discovered that the people having ability to buy is just as important, as it is for the nation to possess ability to produce. Neither is of much use without the other." This week I would add that no one questions the ability of this nation to produce in abundance, and neither will informed people deny that the larger portion of our citizens lack an ability to buy. It should be the concern of every citizen to find out why his lack of buying power exists. Will point out why this problem should interest every citizen. Every business man who has services or goods to sell should have an interest in the welfare of those who are his possible customers. Business men do not sell their wares and services to paupers. They find a market only with those who have money with which to buy. If the masses of the people are prosperous, then poverty, then the volume of business done in the nation falls off and business continuously suffers loss of profits until the people once again become prosperous. Agriculturists of all types should be interested in seeing that the laboring classes enjoy liberal wage returns for services performed. I do not refer merely to their own employees. I mean that the farmers of the nation should be deeply desirous that the laboring citizens of the nation have steady employment at reasonably high wages. The reason is, that it is among this class of our citizens that our agriculturalists must market the major portion of their products. If this group suffers lack of employment or lack of an adequate wage when employed, it naturally follows that farmers compete one with the other in a restricted market with resulting lowered prices and reduced profits. The Townsend plan visualizes an expanded market for business men's wares and services, and for all kinds of agricultural products. It believes that general prosperity can be realized and maintained when buying power of generous proportions is vested in the people. It is positive that this nation can not long continue in its present state, with a portion of its people enjoying good wages and good profits and the rest merely existing on WPA and Social Welfare dolle checks. Every thinking person knows that WPA funds and revenue for Social Welfare department checks must come from taxes imposed on those who have property which can be taxed, or else from extracted portions of enjoyed incomes. The Townsend plan movement labors to create a basis for a return to a normal state of affairs when private business and industry can once again Low Rate Made in Mishaps by School Busses A decrease of 35 per cent in the number of school bus accidents in 1936, and a similar reduction in the number of children injured in these accidents, as compared with 1935, was announced today by Ray Ingels, director of the state motor vehicle department. Two thousand school buses, carrying 75,000 children to and from school, were involved in 19 accidents, injuring 18, with one fatality, as against 29 accidents, 28 injuries and one death during the previous year. Comparing this reduction of school bus accidents to the more than 11 per cent increase in the total number of highway accidents, Ingels said that careful examination of school bus drivers and rigid inspection of equipment used by them to transport children, was mainly responsible for the reduction. tion and keep it. In that way you can escape the newest popular tune for hours. store to both business men and farmers, a healthy market for their wares, services and products and insure permanence of employment to the workers at right wages. In last week's column the writer pointed out the intention of the Townsend plan to retire approximately 7,500,000 of our citizens of age 60 and over. These to retire upon a monthly annuity of generous proportions to continue during life granted conditionally upon their refraining from engagement in any gainful pursuit.
