The Bismarck Tribune is carrying
a series of articles by Rodney Dutch-
er in which the NEA correspondent
gives 0 detailed discussion of the
government - state SoCial Security
plan. l~n Monday's discourse, Mr.
Dutcher points out that the progrant %4.
undertakes to do two things about
the problems of old age and the des-
titution which so often accompanies
it:
"1.} To encourage and financially
aid the states immediately in estab-
lishing old age pensions for persons
alrev~ly aged and needy. That ~phase
of the program is officially known
a " " "
s Old Age Assmtance.
"2, To develop a federal old age
insurance system Under which em-
ployers and employes will be taxed
for an eventually huge fund * from
wlfich annuities will be paid to em-
ployes on retirement at the age of
65. This phase is officially known
as "Federal Old Age Benefits.'-
"Old Age Benefits are the most
controversial part of the whole pro-
gram. The scheme is attacked be-
cause it means an eventual 6~ per
cent tax on payrolls, Which, coupled
with the federal unemployment in-
surance tax. will total 9 per cent by
1949 and a total tax "drain" of Per-
haps $2.~700,000,000 a year."
The correspondent goes on te ex-
plain how the program will operate,
who will be benefited, how the mon-
ey will be apportioned, etc. An in-
teresting map accompanies the arti-
cle, showing the type of old age
pension laws in the various states.
North Dakota is one of the 16 states
having laws which do not meet fed.
eral requirementS. 15 states have
laws which do meet federal require-
ments, 6 states have set no dates
for their laws to take effect, and 11
states have no old age pension laws
at all.
