 If employees pay social security taxes on a y-as-you-go plan for several years, can they argue that they have right to pension or unemployment benefits as convinc- ingly as if they had an actual re- serve opposite their names on the social security register? Defenders of the reserve fund plan argue that unless employe rights to pension or unemployment benefits are made evident by such a fund. there will be tendency by employers through the years to seek to trim off part of the benefits so their

DOWN STRIKES: This is not a
law but an expression of congress
Sional sentiment on a major issue
of the time Has much better
chance of passing the House now
than it did last session, but it may
be tabled and never brought to a
vote as many members would pre-
fer to dodge the question.
Important laws passed by the
House, and now on the Senate
roster include:
THE ANTI-LYNCHING LAW:
This has been a burning topic for
many years, and at the opening of
the special session resulted in a
virtual filibuster by Southern
members. Poor chance of passage
y Southern Senators feel it would
destroy the sovereignty of the
states, are prepared to talk it in
to oblivion whenever it appears.
REVISION OF BANKRUPTCY
ACT: Not a dramatic issue, has
good chance of passage.
. REGULATION OF NATURAL
GAS: Also has good chance of
passage.
PLACING POSTMASTERS
UNDER CIVIL SERVICE STAT
US: Practically everyone agrees
this should be done-but not
everyone agrees the pending bill
is the way to do it. Opponents
say the measure would give the
Administration stranglehold on
the postmasters. and result in a
tremendous political machine.
However, the chance for passage
seems good.
REPEAL OF SALARY PUBL
CITY LAW: Top corporation sal
aries are now published periodic
ally by the SEC. Opponents say
this encourages blackmail, kid
mapping, other crimes; is an I'M
warranted invasion of private
rights. Proponents say salary
publicity is necessary to protect
corporate stockholders from ex-
cessive and unjustifiable execu-
tive salaries. Chance of passage
only fair.
REORGANIZATION OF. FED
ERAL DEPARTMENTS: Like
the civil service for postmasters
bill, this measure is based on
something that everyone feels is
necessary in the interest of gov
ernmental efficiency and econo-
my-but great many people are
opposed to the current proposal
for the reason that il would place
the independent bureaus, such as
the ETC and ICC, under the Ex-
ecutive. Chance for passage fair.
This does not exhaust the list
of pending measures which have
passed one branch, but ii lists the
most important. It may be some
time, however, before most of
them are debated-the business
recession has greatly changed the
legislative outlook. A strong con-
gressional bloc, led by prominent
Democrats, feels that Congress
should first deal with legislation
affecting all business. such as the
Capital Gains and Undistributed
Profits Taxes, in an effort TO stop
the decline in production, employ
ment and earnings.

ARRANGE TOLL
FOR AUTOS ON
new SCHEDULE
FIX PRICES TO BE CHARGED
ON FERRIES WHEN ROAD
IS OPENED AS FAR DOWN
AS HOG KEY

Committees from the County
Commissioners and the Overseas
Road and Toll Bridge Commits
sion, met last night for the pur-
pose of agreeing on an equitable
toll rate to be put in effect at the
time the road is opened this
month, the date of the opening to
be announced later.
Of course, it was explained, this
does not mean the entire high
way, but only that portion from
Lower Matecumbe to Hog Key,
which will mean that the approx
mate Is miles from Hog Key to
No Name Key, will be travelled
by ferry boat, as usual.
The agreement reached was
that the charges would be as fol-
lows: Cars up to IA feet length,
So. Cars from IA to 16 feet in
length, $3.50. Cars beyond the
length of Is feet, So. For car and
trailer, $3.50. Each passenger
in car or trailer will be required
to pay a charge of Is cents.
Present at the meeting were
Commissioners VIM. r. Porter and
Norberg Thompson, the latter be-
ing in charge of all ferry opera
tons. Vice Chairman j. N. Cos
tar, of the Overseas Road and
Toll Bridge Commission, Ralph
Boyden, and c. c. Symonette,
who was chairman of the commit
tee.

ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS
Happenings That Affect the Dinner Pals, Dividend
Checks and Tax Bills of Every Individual: Ma
tiOnal and International Problems Insep-
arabic From Local Welfare

AS Congress settles down to
work, each branch has on its cal
endar a stable list of important
laws which were passed at the
last session by one of the Houses
but not by the other. The status
of these bills is not changed by
the ending of the first session
they go over into the following
session on precisely the same ba-
sis as if Congress had not adj
journed at all. Some of them will
come up in the current special
seSsion-those which do not, will
come again to prominence when
the regular, concluding session of
the 18th Congress is called in jan
uary. The United States News
recently published a summary of
the more important acts which
have met the approval of one
branch, and are yet to be passed
or condemned by the other.
The Senate, in its first session,
passed several extremely import
ant measures, which are now
ready for House of Representa-
tives' scrutiny. These bills are:
WAGES AND HOURS: The
bill creates Federal Board with
sweeping powers to establish
maximum hours of work and
minimum wages, under certain
restrictions. 1t is an Administra-
ton must" measure, and was one
of the two desired laws which led
to the calling of the special ses-
sion. Chance for passage in pres
ent form is only fair; there is a
better chance that extensive re-
vision will be demanded. Bust
ness sentiment is solidified
against the bill, not, primarily,
because of fear of the wages and
hours standards it provides, but
because of the feeling that the
board would be a car over in
dustry. The business recession,
which has resulted in a strong de-
sire on the part of many congress-
men to make the special and the
next regular session Feassuring
to industry, has damaged the
bills chances.
CHILD LABOR: Will Drohahlv
pass, then become an issue in the,
courts.
WHEAT INSURANCE: Would
set up plan to protect farmers
against wheat crop failures. Is
highly debatable as a practical
measure, but has good chance of
passing, perhaps in revised form.
REVISION OF FOOD AND
DRUGS LAW: Designed to cor
rect weaknesses and inadequacies
in the present law. Will probably
pass, though not without strong
opposition.
TRAIN LIMIT LAW: Would
restrict length of freight trains to
70 cars. Is supported by labor as
a make-work measure, opposed
by railway management on the
grounds that its cost would be I'M
bearable without major rate in
creaSes, and it would make opera
ton less safe House opposition
to the law has been growing.
Chance of passing seems waning.

CHAS. II. KETCHUM DE-
LIVERS AN ADDRESS
CITING IDEALS OF
TRUE AMERICANISM

America is losing sight of The
ideals of true Americanism"
speaker Chas. H. Ketchum stated
in stirring speech at meeting
of the Stone Church Service Club
last night.
This year marked great mile
stones in American progress, with
the sesquicentennial celebration
of the adoption of the Constitu-
ton, the centennial anniversary
of the free public school system
and Armistice day, Mr.. Ketchum
said, and yet there are forces at
work within the country today
which are going in a direction
away from our American ideals
of freedom of speech and religion,
equality and justice to all. Such
movements are Communism and
Bolshevism.
In this year of our democracy,
great problems have arisen which
have never been dealt with be-
fore. Social unrest is evident
among a great number of the peo-
pie of this country, especially in
the labor and capital clashes,
climaxed by sit-down strikes.
If every one in America aided
the government to the best of his
ability in these pressing problems,
we would not only safeguard Am
erican ideals, we would soon solve
our difficulties.
Motion by Stephen Cochran
Singleton to appoint a revolving
committee to attend council meet
ings was passed. The committee
is composed of Charles II. Ket-
chum, William Watkins, Fernando
Camus and Prof. L. S. Waldron.
