Pension schemes defeated by voters in California and Ohio
Geo W Winningham argues pension schemes failed in California and Ohio last week, urging Texas against recall and initiative moves. He contrasts Colorado’s $45 monthly pensions with the public backlash, praises Governor Olson’s stance, and warns against using recall to harass officials. He also questions rewards for bombing Hitler and opposes extending reciprocal trade treaties, defending tariffs to aid the agricultural South. The piece blends opinion on pensions, recalls, postwar policy, and trade.
