SENATE MAY ACT
ONCAB INSURANCE,
LIQUOR BILL TODAY
Alcohol Control Bill Was
Approved by District
Unit Yesterday.
FOUR CHANGES PLANNED
IN D. C. BEVERAGE LAW
Bond Requirement Abolished, New
Limit on Transporting
Is Provided.

Pour amendments to the District
liquor control law, and the taXlcab
insurance bill may come before the
Senate today during consideration OF
the unanimous consent calendar.
The liquor bill. already passed by
the House, was approved late yesterday
by the Senate District Committee. The
taXicab insurance measure, which also
has gone through the House, was post
poned from last Saturday.
The proposed changes in the liquor
law are:
First, eliminating the requirement Of
advertising applications for renewal
of existing licenses, but retaining the
advertising rule as to new applications.
Bond is Abolished.
Second. abolishing the requirement
of bond from each applicant, which
was adopted when the law first passed
| to insure payment of taxes. The law
| has since been amended to require
advance payment of the tax by having
dealers buy stamps to be attached to
the bottles.
Third, gives the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board discretionary power to
decide whether notices should be
posted on premises where licenses have
been suspended. The requirement at
present is mandatory.
Fourth, limits the amount of liquor
person may bring or have shipped
into the District from another jurls-
diction to one gallon at any one time.
This limit would not apply to ship
ments being delivered to local dealers,
Will Save $4,000.
The District Commissioners advised
the committee the repeal of the bond
provision will save Licensees about
$40 year, and the omission of the
advertising requirement when existing
licenses are being renewed will save
the District government between 81 200
and 81 500 year.
When the taxicab insurance bill was
before the Senate Saturday several
Senators argued it would work hard
ship on small individual cab owners
Mo decision was reached at that time
however, because of the absence of
Senator Tydings, Democrat, of Mary
land, chairman of the subcommittee
in charge of the bill.

SLAUGHTER HOUSE
PARLEY IS SOUGHT
City Heads to Confer With

Protest.

The District Commissioners, hav-
ing warned Adolf Gobel, Inc, against
rebuilding its Benning slaughter
house, were reported today as seeking
an early conference with Secretary
Ickes regarding the situation.
Secretary Ickes has been demanding
that the District take necessary steps

ened overload of industrial waste. 1t
was understood the proposed confer
ence was being sought for the purpose
of discussing this particular problem
Sewage Plant Warning.
Commissioner Hazen had made the
sewage matter the basis of the warn

company. At the same time, it was
learned today, he forwarded a report

and proposed by the municipal govern

VI lllp Slaughter MOUSE.
officials at the Interior Depart
ment were studying this report today

| Meanwhile the Gobel company was
sitting tight" Hazen's letter had not
been referred early today to the COM
panys local attorney, D. Edward
Clarke. For this reason, Clarke had
no statement to make beyond express
ing surprise that the Commissioners
wished to reopen the sewage issue.
Building Goes On.
There was no indication that the
Gobel company would interrupt its
building operations again, despite the
warning of the Commissioners that by
so doing the company might save itself
considerable expense. Clarke said the
concern was not worrying" over the
situation. He would reply to the Com
missioners, he explained, when he re-
ceives their communication.
Should the company agree to a
hearing, it is possible that others
might seek to be made party to it.
In the absence of any statement from
the Commissioners, however, it was
believed the hearing would be limited
solely to Gobel representatives.

You and Your
Nations Affairs
Is Social Security Secure?
BY ERIK Mckinney ERICSSON
Professor Of History University Of Southern Calforl

The chief constitutional question was
whether or not Congress had right
to tax wages and payrolls for the sup
port of social security, which is not
mentioned in the Constitution.
This question was answered IN the
affirmative by the Supreme Court. BY
a seven to two vote, the Court handed
down a sweeping decision upholding
the taxes for old age annuities. BY a
five to four vote. the Court held con-
stitutional the special tax levied on
employers of eight or more workers
for the purpose of paying unemploy-
ment insurance. To supplement these
two decisions. the Court in another
five to four decision. upheld the con-
stitutionality of the Alabama unem-
ployment insurance act, passed to CO.
operate with the Federal law.
These momentous decisions have
given to the general welfare clause Of
the Constitution a broader meaning
than it has ever had before. So far as
the Constitution is concerned, the
social security program is secure.
Having upheld the most drastic fea=
lures of it, the Court without do1
would uphold any other part of it.
Even though the program is now
safe from attacks on constitutional
grounds, one does not haveto coucede
that it is otherwise secure. Unuuese
tionably, the legislation is in need of
revision. Perhaps the greatest detect
is in the tax provisions. The rate Of the
taxes is SO high that in a period Of
fifty years it Is estimated that a re-
serve of forty-seven billion dollars
or more will be built up. Insurance ex-
perts are almost unanimous in stating
that such a great reserve would be
menace.
An advisory commission repre-
sgating employees. employers, and the
public, has been set up to study this
and other features of the law with a
view to recommending amendments.
The sooner these amendments are
adopted, the sooner we will have So
cial security that is really secure.

are the provisions for taxes to provide
