Thinking Out Loud By H. M. L. People who do not understand or do not want to understand speak as though the “$30 every Thursday plan’’, were an answer to the pauper’s prayer. As a matter of fact it would not only fail to relieve poor people over 50 years of age, but the tax of $1.04 paid-on every dollar warrant issued by the administrator, ‘would pauperize thousands of other people who now manage to make a living. If this plan could work, it would work because merchants whose annual gross sales we’ll say for example. amount to $20,000 accepted 20 per cent of theif former cash sales in warrants, and paid in taxes amounting to $4,160 in order to collect finally at the end of the year, $4,000. The fact that one merchant did not pay the whole amount on the identical batch of warrants, means nothing, for if the plan worked at all 20 per cent would be about the ratio of warrants to «ash receipts, provided as many 50year-olds 'went after the warrants as the plan founders expect, that all merchants would have to pay. The merchant gets his money, $4,000 at the end of the year of course, but in the meantime he has paid out $4,160 out of his ‘till to make them worth $4,000. What it amounts to, is a gigantic tax on merchants in California, a tax that would speedily. put most of merchants out of business. The merchants must pay cash for automobiles, radios, elothing, groceries, hardware and thousands of items sold in California, that originate in the Hast. Eastern manufacturers could not accept payment in these warrants, The California Crusaders, an organization of business and professional men of California, who trying to bring back a measure of, Sanity to our legislative programs, and instill more patriotism students in public schools, have con. demned the ‘$30 every Thursday” . plan for reasons which it seems to this writer are sound and the Crus. ader statement is herewith appended: are . . “We are anxious that the old people of California enjoy .a rich measure of security,’’. declared Porter Sesnon, president o% the Crusaders. “We want them to have es and comfort. and we will give outr . full support to any sane, practical, equitable proposal that will provide . these blessings. SPhis S30-a:.Week: for“ Life’ scheme however, cannot and will not work and its enactment by the voters will only bring disaster to California and cruel disappointment to} a great group of honest, sincere old people.”’ This scheme, according to Sesnon, who is well known as a banker as well as manager of ranches throughout California is exactly the same in principle as the prosperity warrant experiment attempted in 1936 in Alberta. The Alberta scheme failed within a few weeks after its start and brought the province to the verge of bankruptcy. There are many barriers to the general circulation of the warrants, Sesnon said. They have no value outside of California. This alone prevents thousands of stores, factories, wholesalers and other mercantile establishments from accepting the warrants. Banks, according to Sesnon, cannot accept the warrants as deposits, coNection item's or as collateral for loans, The use of the warrants, he declared, \would strike a blow at organized labor. Acceptance of anything but\real money in payment for ‘wages and services would seriously jeopardize existing hard-won wage agreements and would be in direct violation of the spirit and letter of such contracts. Merchants willing ‘to accept warrants in exchange for their commodities would soon find‘it necessary. to replenish their stocks. Wholesalers confronted by the necessity of meeting heavy pay rolls, making purchases of raw materials, parts and supplies from other states and countries and being unable to borrow from the banks on the strength of their warrants would necessarily have to refuse to supply goods to those merchants who could pay only in warrants. The minute the warrants are no longer acceptable or cease to enjoy circulation, Sesnon pointed out, they become evergrowing liabilities to those who are unfortunate enough to possess them, The warrant holder will be forced to purchase with his Nevada City Nugget COVERS RICHEST GOLD AREA IN CALIFORNIA in ifi with good motives and for justton From the Californian, © March 15, 1848: The Liberty of the Press consists the right to publish the Truth, able ends. — Alexander Hamil. . . * “Vol. 12, No. 70.
