Wilder Proposes Old Age Pension Plan
Captain J W Wilder Griffin, secretary of the Old Age Pension Club of Spalding County, urges Taylor and Spalding counties to back a state bill for old age pensions. He argues a $50 monthly pension funded by a small sales tax would aid elderly citizens, reduce burden on families, and keep funds within local administration. He warns against political manipulation and urges voters to support proponents of the pension plan.
