Its advocants declare they will have 50,- 000,000 before the plan is submitted to the next session of congress, Briefly, the idea of the pension pro- gram is to have the federal govern- ment pay every citizen over 60, whose record is free of criminality, $200 a month with the stipulation that the Money must be spent within the con- fines of the United States before the next pay day comes. All of this ‘would be accomplished by imposing ® general sales tax, just high enough te provide the necessary funds for the pensioners, It’s as simple as that. There is no anystic formula by which the money is to be raised. Another tax will pro- vide the funds. ‘The plan is popular. In less than two weeks, if the sponsors’ figures are correct, 4,250,000 signers have been secured in addition to the 750,000 al- xeady backing the idea in the state of its conception, California, If we live, all of us one day will be eligible for the pension and statistics show that most of us will be prac- tically penniless. But all of us, from now until the time we reach the golden age of 60, will have been classed among the poor, struggling taxpayers and it will be the taxpayers again who pay the bill. ‘The question is, therefore, whether we approve of another tax to be add- ed to the already staggering load or prefer to take the chance that for- tune will smile upon us to make us discouragement the old age pension Plan today is finding popularity. ‘Those who are so ready to join in the sponsorship of the proposed leg: islation now may change their mi Eg and girls are coming to Bismarck in search of part-time work which would enable them to help pay their way by persuading people that tightening your belt is great-fun. ‘The opening guns in this strange propaganda campaign have already been fired. The bad economic situa- tion is being blamed on the errors of Hitler’s predecessors in office and on the hostility of “certain international cliques” outside of Germany. After this will come great broad- sides extolling the virtues of endur- ance and self-sacrifice. A tremen- dous barrage of oratory, billboards, ‘and newspaper articles will glorify the Spartan ability to do without things. Germany will be sold, if the energetic Nazis can possibly accom- plish it, on the idea that a winter of extreme hardship is only a new chal- lenge to patriotism. Now this is interesting, not simply because Herr Hitler is going to try to make an asset out of a great lia- bility. Its real significance lies in its revelation of the tremendous pow- er which control of the sources of propaganda gives to a man or & party in this modern world. A dictatorship does not, in the last analysis, depend directly on guns and bayonets. It depends on the power to mold public opinion. All that the guns and bayonets can do is put that power exclusively in the dictator's hands. In other words, a dictatorship does not survive because it makes people put up with its sway; it survives be- cause, quite literally, it can make them like it. It does violence to the mind and Bot to the body. It creates the state of mind that is favorable to it; as Jong as it can do that, its acts of ac- tual terrorism are only incidental. Could there be a greater object lesson in favor of free speech and a free press? As long as the sources of propaganda are open to all, there can be no dictatorship. Youngsters Need Help With the opening day of school close at hand, dozens of rural boys while continuing their education. For many youngsters of farm fam- ilies, hard hit by drouth on top of depression years, the sound of school bells ringing again is going to cause heartache. Their parents will be able to offer them little or no help in continuing school. Unless they can find some form of work to make them partially self-supporting at least, there is nothing for them to do. Even if they stay at home they will find little to occupy their time. With most of the stock sold because of feed and water shortage there will be less work to do on the farm. Staying at home ih many instances will mean only an extra mouth to feed. Youth is naturally optimistic and light-hearted. But nothing is more demoralizing to energetic youngsters of high school age than a feeling of worthlessness, The boys and girls who come to Bismarck in hope of entering school seek nothing more than a chance to pay for what they get. In their be- half an organized appeal is being made to secure places for as many as possible in Bismarck homes. In when conditions return to ‘and they find the general sales tax, created by the old age pension law, retarding their progress. ‘As Maine Goes—’ Maine voters will go to the polls ‘Menday. Nearly two months in ad- vance of 47 other states, the outcome 4s eagerly awaited by all partisans. “As Maine goes, so goes the nation” ' fe.atill the rule. Results of the Maine ‘vote invariably seem to produce a [ opposing parties. |. In 1983 the Pine Tree state elected > @ Democratic governor and two rep- + Nesentatives. For the traditionally Republican state, it was a decisive Democratic victory. Two months Jater, however, enough voters had : dumped from the Donkey-drawn band * ‘wagon to give Hoover a 38,000 margin. . Political observers see particular significance in the outcome of the | Maine vote this year in that both parties are making the New Deal the , Principal issue. Democrats urge the + @lection of their men so that the state _ maay continue to share New Deal ben- @fits. Republican leaders condemn the administration for its “experi- ments.” Monday Maine will elect a gover- nor, a U. 8. senator and three repre- sentatives to congress. Some Demo- cratic dopesters declare in advance Of the poll that their candidates could lose—by & considerable margin—and nation-wide support of the New Deal still would be indicated. They base ‘this contention on the traditional Re- publicanism of the state. It’s a fairly valid process of reasoning but the G, O. P. is entitled to refuse the con- + lusion for its own interpretation of the results. In any event, it's going to be an interesting battle to watch. Hitler’s New Campaign =. ‘The most interesting stunt that will “be tried in Germany this winter will return for doing odd jobs and house- hold tasks they would receive their board or room or both. Bismarck families generally are more fortunate than their farm » ‘The appeal to help the boys and girls from the country who are so eager to continue their educa- tion should meet with whole-hearted cooperation. Ambitious students are worth helping any time. Particularly during the hard winter that is ap- proaching no opportunity should be overlooked to assist them.
