The premilinary nose counting
showed 10 Democrats for reporting the

were against and for. This makes
the committee lineup IA to II against

before the New Dealers went to work
ardently to change the lineup.
Within week after the House
framed the new tax bill to raise $27o,-

approved legislation to spend $175,-

will get back s6.450.
When Bill Jones dies, this is what
will happen:
His average annual salary will be
multiplied by the number OF years he
paid taxes. In other words, If he
dies after he has paid taxes for IS
years. $1,000 will be multiplied by
45-giving a total of $4,000. Arbi-
trarily, the bill stipulates that Bill
Jones estate shall be entitled to 312
per cent of that, or $1.S90-leSs any
amount he received in pensions before
he died.

II Jones dies before he gets back
1880 in pensions, what he actually
received is deducted from 81 800 and
the balance paid to his heirs. If he
lives until he gets back all OF the
81, 800 and more, his heirs get nothing.
If Jones should die before he
reaches IS, his heirs would be entitled
to a payment of 31a per cent OF the
total wages on which taxes had been
paid.
For instance, If he died after 10
wears, he would have paid taxes on
$4,000. His heirs would be entitled
to az per cent of that, or $420.

BY way of example, this is how the
contributory old-age pension system in
the social security bill is designed to
apply to Bill Jones':
Suppose young Bill, is 20 when the
bill goes into effect and makes an
average monthly salary of 500 until
he is IS. He will get a monthly pen
sion, until his death, of $53,75.
Payment Of Taxes.
In detail, here is what will happen
to him:
In the calendar years 1887, 1888 and
1899, he will pay salary tax Of l
per cent, or a total of $50 for the three
years In 1910, 1941 and 1912, he will
pay l Il per cent, or S54, In 1943. 1914
and 1945, the tax will be 2 per cent, or
$72. In l946, l947 and l948, the tax
will be 212 per cent, or 500. From l949
to 1881, inclusive, the tax will be 8
per cent, or a total of 81 ,l88 for those
80 years.
Thus, in As years, Bill Jones will
have paid in s1,440. All the time his
employer will have been matching his
tax payments, so the total paid to the
Federal Treasury will be $3.50.
