In pre-Social Security days, this lower bracket" was looked upon as only partially developed as @ tax mine. It had vast possibilities. But now the Social Security taxes have taken at least part of the good ore out of that vein.
 AS a partial measure of the ex- tent to which Social Security taxes have broadened the tax base, con- sider that year after year the num- Der of individuals submitting income tax returns stays at about 100000 In 1928 it was 4,070,351. Of these only 2,523,063 actually paid taxes
 On the other hand, it is estimat- ed that as many as 26,000,000 indi- viduals are paying Social Security taxes. And for all practical pur- poses the money is going into the same treasury pot as the regular Iincome taxes.

Demonstrations of speedball for the
