SOCIAL INSECURITY

Abraham Epstein has made ssme of the most exhaustive modern stu dies of social security-or social in security as he called it in one of his recent books Writing not long ago in the Nation. he criticized the new social security act for it's ig- noring any form of security for the worker who is forced out by illness for it's failure to make more ade- quate and general the accident com pensation laws. and for it's failure to provide aid for those disabled the act providing for such eases only with the blind)
 For the unemployed the act he points out, leaves the matter to the states while taxing all employers regardless of the benefits their en- ployes might obtain. only a fourth of the states have enacted unem- ployment insurance laws to conform with the national act. And even at the best. the forthcoming maximum tax of three per cent on payrolls will allow only about ten weeks of bene- fit.
 AS to the provisions for the de- pendent aged. the average monthly pension for most workers during the next % years will be less. for eX- ample. than the maximum allowed under the existing laws in Alaska and many of the states under pres ent arrangements. And nothing is provided for the dependent wife. EY- entually workers entering the plan at the age of 20 when the six per cent rate is in effect in 1949, to- gether with their employers. pay 6 premium rate about 40 percent high CT than would be required for the same annuities by a private insur- ance company
 The social security board, of course has pointed out that the worker himself pays less than would be paid to an insurance company. That is true. But after all, if only half the tax is paid by the worker then surely the other half must be con sidered as a part of the premium if it is paid at all. In other words, it doesn't matter who pays the tax if it is six per cent. and no argu- ments by politicians or by the board can make it any less.
 Essentially. then, the act seems to provide minimum of security for a maximum of tax. As time goes on 1t is to be hoped that the inequal- ities of the act may be removed and the benefits increased. For no one can argue that we do not need some form of social security and a form of security greater than the present act provides.

 4 gold quartz strike within eight miles of the heart of Fairbanks and giving promise of proving the lar gest and richest quartz property ev- CT found in the Fairbanks district has been made on the high slopes of Happy Creek, in the Ester Dis trict on the group of four claims owned by Crayey-Adler Mining Company. comprising John Crayey and Mr. and Mrs. Don Adler.
 The find is on the two claims known as the Royal Flush and the Royal Flush Extension. The vein was located two months ago after persistent prospecting. 4 short time afterward 95 tons of high grade gold-bearing ore was mined near the surface and milled, yielding returns said to rival in richness anything ev- CT found in the country
 Indications. say the owners, point to a large ore shoot along the strike of the vein. which is indicated by float and numerous pits to extend long way Just how extensive it Is has not been determined in the short time since the discovery.
 The ore is a green and white quartz impregnated with a yellowish strain and occurs in a contact vein between walls of quartzite and schist, and much of the rock when broken reveals free gold plainly visible in small particles to the nak- ed eye.
 The ore recently mined and mill ed was taken out with the com pany's small crew of three men working but a short time in open cuts and pits not exceeding ten feet below the surface. When the first hole was sunk on the vein the ap- parent apex of the vein was found four feet from the surface and was

 Persistent Prospecting
 Crayey and Adler had been min ing on Ester continuously the past year. and had taken out and milled considerable ore with little success. and were about to quit operations when Cravey picked up float above their workings. Anxious to continue their search for better ore. they ob- tained a lease and option on the two adiacent claims. and then ap- piled all their available efforts and resources in following up the float. Mr. Cravey. assisted by Hank Will jams and Lemar Cameron. long em- ployed on the older workings. put down scores of holes as they worked their way up the hills. encouraged by finding more and more float. all of which was buried by the over burden and practically never found on the surface. The area is described as being pitted and upturned by their efforts until it now looks like battle field Holes were sunk at various places every IS paces.
 Three days before the strike fi- nally was made the owners were on the verge of throwing up the prop osition. but as they say. being in Up to our necks we decided we might as well go in over our heads and as in all hard struggles which are turned into victory. success came in the final strokes. and are we pleased?"
 Crayey is an old-time mining man formerly operating in Arizona. where he scored numerous success es in the game before coming to AL aska. Don Adler is the manager of the Empress Theatre and the Fair banks Healy River Coal agency.

Crucifixion Hoax.
Officials Believe

OCALA, Fla, March 20. CUP
Authorities last night charged the
crucifixion of J. X. Zimmerman
was publicity stunt" as the
former vaudeville "humaa pin
cushioner" was discharged from a
hospital.
Although 30-penny spikes had
been driven through both hands
and both feet and his lips sewn
together with loops of heavy
cord, Zimmerman showed slight
effects from the crucifixion as he
left the hospital.
Zimmerman reiterated his RAM
bling story of abduction and cru
cifixion at the hands of a mob of
men. But investigation by author
tiles here uncovered no evidence
to substantiate his claims.

the crucifixion was a hoax to OBJ
tain publicity and sympathy"
Sheriff s. C. M. Thomas said.
There was no question as to the
realism of the crucifixion, how
ever The sheriff maintained that
some physiological quirk enabled
Zimmerman to subject himself to
the ordeal with little or no suf-
fering.
J. M. White, friend of Thinner
man who discovered and first re.
ported the crucifixion, was held
in Jail here. Authorities wanted to
question him further on his and
Timmerman's story.

GRAHAM GUEST
FOR
KIWANIS here
Address Features LADIES'
Night Program; About
100 in Attendance

Lieutenant Governor A. II.
SANDY Graham, of Hillsboro, \
candidate for the Democratic
nomination for governor, was the
speaker ut the ladies night meet
inc the HenderSonville KiwaniS
club at the Skyland hotel last
night. Mr.. Graham spoke to about
100 members of the club, ladies,
and invited guests.
His remarks were confined to
what he termed "thc interest Of
citizens such as you in govern
ment." The United States, he
pointed out, is a new nation. In
it's early development, when its
resources were unlimited, people
could move on to new lands when
surplus labor developed. Then
come the great railway develop
ment which took up surplus labor,
and this in turn .waS followed by
the industrial development and
! the World war period when pro-
duction was stepped up MANY
times. This in turn was followed
by the depression and unem2loy-
mcnt for many people of the ma
ton.
In the past few years, he said,
many things have been tried to
relieve this situation. Some OF
them have been good and some
bad. The ultimate decision as to
whether they are good or bad
rests upon people in groups such
as these, he asserted.
Many of the things tried were
new in this country, but had been
tried elsewhere, he pointed out
citing the fact that y months
ago only three nations--lndia,
China and the United States
were without some form of social
security legislation.
Directing attention to state
government, the speaker declared
that in 1915 the cost of the state
schools was about five million dol
lars, while now it was nearer q
millions. All other government eX
penditures have likewise increas
ed and the state of North Caro-
lima is now the largest business II
the state, cxpending about 70 mil
| lion dollars annually.
