the amount Of monthly benefit the
worker receives when he retires Is
directly dependent on how much he
has invested" which, in turn, de-
pends on his wages during the COM
tributing period. It Is unlike q pri-
vate policy in that, when he reaches
IS, he must quit his job to collect
what security officials so frequently
stress Is "his as . matter of right"
The monthly benefit paid the worker
when he retires varies from mini
mum Of $40 to a maximum Of $85 Q
month. It depends on how much his
wages are and how long he works
between January ! and his 65th BIRTH
day; in other words, his total salary
during that period.
The worker with a monthly salary
Of $50 will get $17.50 . month an
nuity If he works 10 years; $22.50
if he works 20 years, $27.50 on 80
years and $3250 on 40 years.
Return on $1o0 Monthly Wage.
The $100-a-month man will get
$22.50 for 10 years work, $32.5o for
20 years, $42.50 for 80 years and $51 .25
for 40 years. A $150-a-month salary
will be entitled to $27. so, $42, so, 53.75
and $61.25 for the same periods. The
$200-a-month man will get $3.50,
$51 rs, $61.25 and $71.25. For $250-a-
month (the maximum) the annuity
will be $3.50, $5e.25, $6s.75 and $81 rs.
It is strictly . Federal program.
The States are not involved. The
taxes are collected federally, the
money handled by the Government
and disbursed by 1t.
The way to calculate the. amount OF
your benefit Is by computing your
prospective total wages during the
contributory period. Then take one
half of / per cent Of the first $4,000
earned; one-twelfth per cent of the
next $4,000 and one twenty fourth
per cent of all over $45,000 and add
them. The result Is your retirement
income.
Thus a man who earns $4,000 ag-
gregate will get $40 a month; $4,000
wages, SIS a month; $4,000 wages,
$3.50; $4,000 wages, $l6.67; $4,000
wages. $20.s3; $4,000 wages, s29.l7;

they want to or not. It gets COM
pletely away from the idea that
funds distributed by the Government
should be on q basis of need. In fact,
it is the exact antithesis OF relief. in

Many Undergo Many Changes.
1t is a system that may be changed
many times and promises to be one
Of the Nations leading economic and
political issues for many years. But
now that the die Is cast-now that
the principle has been written on the
statute books and the payroll tax
starts running at 2 per cent next
January / and . few benefits will be
paid shortly thereafter-it is q pref
ty safe bet that the program, in some
form, has come to stay.
To abolish 1t after once 1t had
started would mean to strike out

large the magical hat.
Beginning January /, next, per
cent will be deducted from the wages
Of every worker in the country except
those engaged In agriculture, domestic
service and q few other exempted oc-
cupations. This / per cent will be
matched by an equal tax paid by the
employer. .
The total of 2 per cent will jump by

Presbyterian Church

Last Sunday morning, Rev. Por-
ter delivered his last message for
the summer to the Junior Church
on the subject, Weeds, Matt. 49,:
25. He told them that "a girl or
boy Of words and not deeds is like
a garden full of weeds. He lik-
ened the temptations they will
meet during summer vacation to
weeds or tares, as the Bible calls
them, which choke out the good,
true and honest thoughts, words,
and actions. He advised them to
read good books during the sum-
mer especially the Bible.
The Junior Church will be en-
tirely conducted by the children
next Sunday morning after which
they will not meet until September.
"The Call to Duty" was the sub
ject of the sermon to the adults,
Sunday; text, Luke 1910.
He said many are successful
from the material side, but neglect
to develope the spiritual side of
their life, so lose their soul in the
end. AS christians and church
members we are called upon to
bring sunshine into lives of those
about us and be dutiful servants
Of society. He urged them to en-
ter heartily into the called duty.
