Mr.. Anderson, in conversation with a
Miner reporter, stated that the cause
and habits of the pest must be ascer-
tanned before a cure can be erected.
He also stated that, from what he has
learned of the worm, a method of at
tack could be evolved to put an end
to the ravages inflicted on northern
Minnesota during the past few years
in addition to the natural enemies at
work in the destruction OF the larVa
and moth of the pest.
He embodied his findings in short
thesis on the subject reading as follows
Several weeks ago, millions of moths

MORE DATA ASKED
ON SECURITY ACT.
Campaign Controversy Over
Pension Provision Partly
Blamed by Board.
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Social Security Board reported
today an increased demand for its cir
culars explanatory Of the old-age PEN
sions provision of that law, at least
to some extent a result of the last
minute controversy on this subject in
the presidential campaign.
Called unavoidable" and a "cruel
hoax by Gov. ALI M. Landon, the
act has been upheld by President
Roosevelt as approved by bipartisan
ma jorities in Congress. Aroused by
attacks on the law which allegedly
have been inserted in pay envelopes
by some employers, Mr.. Roosevelt said
. Republican campaign of "misrepre-
sentation" was under way.
It was more than a month ago, in
Milwaukee, that Mr.. Landon pledged
repeal of the compulsory pensions sec
ton, If elected, and the enactment
instead of provision for payment to
persons over IS Of any amount
necessary to give a minimum income
sufficient to protect him or her from
want"
26,000.0O0 Workers Affected.
Under the law as it stands, the
some 26,000,000 workers covered by
pensions and their employers each
will be taxed l per cent on the wages
from next January through 1899.
The levy increases gradually to per
cent in 1919, continuing thereafter
at that rate.
That is the "pay-in" side. On the
"pay-out" side, an "old age reserve &C
count is to be set up in the Treasury
for payments to the qualified workers
after they reach IS or monthly pen
sions in amount dependent on what
they have paid in taxes. The min
imum pension is $40, the maxi
mum $85.
On the subject of the pension fund,
there is sharp disagreement between
the candidates.
President Roosevelt said the funds
would be held in a Government trust
fund solely for the social security of
the workers" Gov. Landon, however,
contended there was every probable
ity' that cash paid in on compulsory
old age insurance would be used for
current deficits and new extrava-
gances" and that if the present act re-
manned in force our old people are
only too apt to find the cupboard
bare"
Pay Roll Tax Additional
Under the unemployment insurance
section of the act, there is a pay roll
tax amounting to per cent for 1886,
2 per cent for 1887, and per cent
thereafter. on employers of eight or
more workers. Each employer may
credit against this tax, up to 80 per
cent thereof, his payments to State

the Security Board has approved.

fnent was using its taxing power Ito
