old Age Benefits
Bill Is Ready To
Go Before Congress

/ rewritten bill we're Chairman
Doughon D-N. c. and Represen-
tatives Samuel B. Hill D-wash.),
vinson O-Ky.)). Lewis D-Md. and
Cooper D-Tenn-)
They declined TO quote the presi-
dent directly. but sturdy, 7i-year-old
Chairman Doughton. obviously
pleased. told newspapermen who
surrounded him upon his return 70
Capitol Hill:
I'VE are In agreement ! don't
look for any substantial changes IN
the bill as IL now stands"
He said his committee would re-
sumo consideration Of the bill Mon
day TO make sure 1t In absolutely
all right" and have IL ready for
presentation to the house by April
Monday after next.
Secretary Perkins had protested
frequently at q number Of changes
/. One, made on the recommends
ton Of Secretary Morgenthau. step
ped up the tax rate proposed for
compulsory. contributions old age an
nuities-which the committee now
has classified as 'old age benefits"
The labor secretary, however. was
particularly worried by changes the
committee made when II decided
that the social insurance board,
which will handle much Of the ma
chinery set up under the broad plan,
should be an independent agency
and not under the labor department.
Miss Perkins had wanted to have
some control over the board. but the
committee decided against her.
Likewise. she had made a special
trip TO the capitol to express her
opposition to another committee
amendment - that exempting from
unemployment insurance taxes EN-
ployers OF less than 10 men.
In addition. Miss Perkins had op-
posed Morganthau's suggestion -
which the committee accepted-that
farmers. domestics and casuals
should be exempted from the taxes
collected for old age annuisies.
The tax rates imposed will remain
unchanged because the president
still is Of the opinion that the ola
age aid and unemployment insur-
ance systems should be self-support-
ing promptly.
The unemployment tax IL I per
cent on total payrolls beginning
January /. 1886. and increasing / per
cent a year TO 3 per cent. Because
state legislatures cannot act immedi-
ately, since many already have end
ed their sessions for this year. there
was some sentiment in the COM
mittee for postponing the effective
date Of that initial levy to 1897. But
that had by no means been agreed
to finally.
The committeeman brought away
from the white house with them q
definite understanding that the
president was opposed to any attempt
TO split the bill into separate mea-
sures, passing them separately.
