COSTS OF OLD-AGE PENSIONS
FAR UNDER EARLY ESTIMATE

AS the Finance Committee of the
United States Senate was hearing
opponents of President Roosevelt's
economic security program, the COM
mittee received report from the
Economic Security Committee show
ing that the total cost to the states
for old-age pensions would be about
$111.000,000 year, instead of more
than half billion as had been freely
predicted.
The report has been in course of
preparation since the committee was
appointed by the President last June
and covers many phases of the sub
ject that had been overlooked by OPP
ponents of the plan. Old-age pen
sions already are in force in FL of
the 48 states and laws establishing
them have recently been enacted in
seven others. Census figures for
1880 showed 6,634,O00 persons in
the country over 65 and many wit
nesses before the committees of Con-
gress have presented their argument
on the basis that half of them would
be eligible for pensions.
The Economic Security Commit
tees report was based on the num-
Der of persons above 65 now receiv-
ing relief, plus those now getting old
age pensions in states having pension
systems; also on the fact that the
grants actually averaged $16.47 in
the fall of 1884 and the additional
consideration that the majority of
aged men and women in the United
States are supported either by them
selves or by their relatives.
OF the six and half million above
65, the report showed that 736,342
are on Federal relief rolls, and 49,
557 are receiving old-age pensions
from 81 states, making a total of
915,899 who would be eligible, in
stead of the three and a quarter mil
lion claimed by opponents of the
plan. For Virginia, where it had
been asserted the cost would be be-
tween $12,000,0OO and 100000, 900
year, the committee estimated that
$356,0OO a year would be required.
This is on the basis of state con-
| tribu.ion of $40 month, distributed
in the same proportion as relief is
now distributed in that state.

STRANGERS CHANGES NAME

The school at 9Th and Chestnut
Streets, Philadelphia, which for the
pas. thirty years has operated under
the name of Strayer's Business Col
lege, in the future will be known as
Strayer's Business School.
The change in name was decided
upon after consultation with more
than 500 educators, the majority Of
whom thought the term college
should be reser-ed for educational
institutions authorized by law to
grant degrees.
In connection with the change in
name, the curriculum of the school
has been enlarged by the addition of
Business Administration and Ac-
counting and Executive-Secretarial
courses. Some of the subjects not
previously taught in which instruc-
ton is now offered are: Salesman
ship, Advertising, Marketing, Retail
Store Management, CreditsandollectiC
Store Management. Credits and Col
lections, Insurance. Investments,
Real Estate, Commercial Geography,
Foreign Trade, Business Fundamen-
tails. and Business Organization and
Administration.

WHISKEY TAKES THE STEERING
WHEEL

In recent series of graphic bulle-
tins, the National Safety Council
points to a tremendous increase in
drunken driving during the past
year-and to a substantial gain in
The number of deaths and injuries
due TO mixing alcohol and gasoline.
The first twelve months of repeal
have left devastating trail of death
behind it. Severe as the drunken
driving problem was during prohibi-
lion, it has become doubly severe
now.
The best obtainable statistics indl-
cate that five to ten per cent of both
drivers and pedestrians involved in
traffic accidents are under the infiu-
ance of liquor. These statistics,
however, in the belief Of the Council,
understate matters, inasmuch as a
multitude of accidents occur in which
drinking is a factor but is not re-
ported for one reason or another. A
short time ago a thorough survey
was made of 119 accidents involving
116 injuries and fatalities-and it
showed that in so per cent of the
accidents the alcohol factor was in
volved. According. to the authority
making this survey, as little as one
ounce of whiskey will cause meas
urable loss of driving efficiency in
the average person.
Reports from traffic departments
throughout the nation thoroughly
back up the fact that drunken driv-
ing is showing an astounding gain.
Drunken driving arrests amount to
from 20 to 100 per cent more than
they did year ago, and police au-
tohrities likewise state that rising
percentage of accidents can be ascrib-
ed to the little black bottle"
Here is a problem that involves
the health, life and property of every
citizen. 1t is problem thai must
be fought by US all, drys and vets
alike. Under the best of conditions,
highways and streets are potentially
dangerous-and they become slaugh-
terhouses when whiskey takes the
steering wheel.

STATE MUST HELP PAY RELIEF
BILL

Placing $862,4S0 at the disposal
of the Maryland Emergency Relief
Administration instead of the ST.
500, 900 requested for March, the
Federal Emergency Relief Admins
tration served notice on Governor
Nice Saturday that the grant was the
last until the State arranges to foot
its share Of the bill.
At the same time, Aubrey Will
liams, Acting Federal Relief Admin
istrator in the absence of Harry L..
Hopkins, verified officially in Wash
ington the report that Maryland will
have to provide $S,O0O,OOO of its re-
lief costs for the remainder Of the
year, saying that Harry w. Nice, as
Governor-elect, had publicly accept
ed such a proposition shortly after
the November elections.
AS soon as Governor Nice had re-
ceived the FERA ultimatum with re-
gard to the discontinuance of Federal
aid If the State doesn't assume It's
share of the burden by March Is, he
began making arrangements for a
conference between Maryland au-
thorities and Hopkins in Washington.
Besides laying the whole picture"
of Maryland's relief and financial
situation before the FERA chief, Mr..
Nice said, he also expected to demon
strate to him the General Assembly's
inability to "stab in the dark when
so much uncertainty prevails as to
the amount that will be required of
the State.

FARMERS IN A COMPETITIVE
WORLD

In an editorial on modern agricul-
ture, the Dairymen's League News
says:
Farmers, both as sellers and as
buyers of commodities, are taking
their chance in the rough and tumble
of competitive business. They are
obliged to match themselves against
other business men and other indus
TRIES. Practically all other business
and industry is strongly organized,
and farmers cannot hope 20 be sue
cessful in their competition unless
they are organized. The stronger
their organization, the greater will
be the marketing and buying power
of agriculture"
The Dairymen's League Coopera-
tive Association knows what it is
talking about-a pioneer in the east
ern dairy field, it is a living example
of the achievements of aggressive,
loyal cooperation among farmers.
The organized farmer has every adj
vantage over his disorganized neigh
bor-as a thousand cases have
proven. The farmers who are max
ing progress now in effecting recov-
cry, are the farmers who belong to
strong, Woodworking cooperatives.
The cooperative movement-which
Is steadily gaining in scope and
strengths the best thing that ever
happened to American agriculture.

pwA PROJECTS IN STATE

Out of a total of 1,024 local public
improvements completed as a result
of Public Works Administration aid
throughout the country on February
16, involving loans or grants aggre-
eating $31,562,925, fourteen pro-
iects have been finished in Maryland
under allotments amounting to
$5O9,200.
Twenty-Five other States rank
above Maryland in the number OF
projects completed, according to re-
port made public by the Federal
Emergency Administration of Public
Works in Washington.
Most of the completed projects
are comparatively small" the report
pointed out, "but the larger ones are
expected to begin coming through in
volume in a few weeks"
The finished non-Federal projects,
it also was stated, have put con-
siderably larger amount of money
into circulation than the bare allot-
ments, since 729 loans or grants,
totaling $11,719,000, represented
only thirty per cent. of the total cost
of labor and materials.

CHEVROLET ASSEMBLY PLANT
AT BALTIMORE

The Chevrolet Motor Company has
expanded its manufacturing facili-
ties by the addition of new assem-
bly, plant at Baltimore, Md, and by
enlarging and improving assembly
plants in nine other cities for in
creased manufacturing schedules

Completion of the new Baltimore
plant is being rushed and it is ex-

point will begin early in March. Ad-
ditions to the assembly plants at
Kansas City, Mo-, and Atlanta, Ca,

Further Levies
With myriad of divergent pro-
posals for meeting the States revenue
needs clogging the legislative ma
chinery at Annapolis, the farm or
ganiZations in Maryland, led by the
Farm Bureau, are pleading for a uni
fed program through which perman-
emit and modern revenue measures
might be enacted. Citing too that
the time is short, the farm organiza-
ton hold that there is very definite
need for crystalizing public opinion
Immediately towards this end and
that unless an agreement for such a
program can be reached, that real
estate will again have to bear the
brunt of the impending deficit.
Spokesman for the organizations
feel that there are ample sources of
revenue in Maryland which the State
should avail itself of through the
adoption of modern income tax and
inheritance tax legislation and
through which the " cent gas tax
TO the counties and the equalization
fund could be restored in full. The
farm organizations also hold that
modern revenue measures would
save the University budget intact.
AS for unemployment relief and
other social legislation, the farm or
CARNATIONS acknowledge the need
for it, but hold that the costs, par
ticularly for unemployment relief,
could be substantially reduced If a
larger share of the responsibility for
its administration were made 20 rest

ALABAMA VOTES DRY

Alabama, which two years ago
voted for repeal of national prohibit
ton, was on record Wednesday night
through a popular referendum in
favor of retaining is own rigid dry
laws,
Counties marked in the wet
column on repeal of the 18th amend
ment returned dry majorities to
white down an early modification
lead and then overturn 1t. While
the referendum had no legal stand
ing, it would have served as man
date to the Legislature which recon-
venes on April 80 to shape its course
accordingly.

PRACTICAL oLD-AGE INSURANCE

One of the most important phases
of the life insurance business during
the past decade has been a drop in
the percentage of life insurance
funds going to the beneficiaries of
dead policyholders, accompanied by a
rise in the percentage going to living
policyholders. Where, twenty years
ago, a majority of payments were for
death claims, the majority is now for
annuity payments, matured endow-
ments, dividends and disability bene-
fits which are collected by the person
who bought the policy in the first
place and whose thrift and foresight
kept it in force.
During 1884, for example, United
States life insurance companies dis
.ributed the gigantic sum of $2,7OO,-
100000 to policyholders and benefi-
Charles. OF this total, $1,S00,O0O,-
900 went to living policyholders, and
but 5000, 900, O0ONto beneficiaries.
This accentuates the changed
aspect of life insurance-the people
no longer regard it as being merely
way of protecting dependents in
case of the wage-earner's death,
They regard it as being a definite in
vestment, as a means of protecting
themselves in old age. They use it
to educate children, to build estates,
to guard aga nst business reverses.
and for a multitude of other neces-
sary purposes.
