BARGAIN, NEW STYLE

The Treasury and Federal Social Sc

tons under which some 26,0O0,000 en-
plOyees in the country will begin paying
taxes January LIST in compliance with the
Social Security Act.
There is a difference of opinion be-
tween those who are practical and those
who are politically minded. The practical
say the regulations should be issued and
the huge staff necessary to register the
26,0OO,OOO should start functiOning this
summer at the latest. The politicians in
sist that the work be put off until after
November becauee they are fearful of the
effect it might have on voters to remind
them of these new income taxsburdens.
Be that as it may, the magazine Iron
Age has just completed an interesting COM
putatiOn. 1t found that a worker of 25,
earning 81 800 year, can, under the Fed
eral Act, draw SIS week unemployment
insurance for 10 weeks, and at the age of
65 he will be entitled to a $61.25 per
month pension for the rest of his life, OF
until $3.50 has been refunded to his cS
tate.
But if the worker paid the same
premiums TO any first class insurance COM
pany, he could, after years, get unem-
plOyment insurance of Sis week for 81
weeks, and after 20 years he could get SIS
a week for 232 weeks. AT the age of 65
he would also be eligible for pen ion of
$50 a month for the balance Of his life, or
until $l2,058 had been repaid to him or to
his estate.

1t is estimated that about billion and

More than $50 American daily newspapers

The fastest modern newspaper presses
