you are now giving up and to express
the conviction that differences over

MIRACLE WORKERS

The voters are forever seeking
a miracle worker who will take
oyer their pressing problems and
solve them. The voters try first
one office seeker and then anoth-
err in the hope of finding the ma
gician they want. Almost anyone
who can convincingly promise
enough marvels, can get elected
to office. And as soon as great
promiSer has failed to do the inl-
possible, the people are eager to
elect someone else who promises
to do the impossible.
The people cannot understand
that perfection is impossible; and
that if they want better condi-
tions, they themselves must do
their part to bring about better
conditions. There must be hon.
esty, thrift, and industry among
the people themselves before
those principles can be injected
into government. There can new
er be rewards collectively until
the people merit rewards indi-
vidually.
One reason that men elected to
public office do not discharge
their duties with higher sense of
moral responsibility is that too Of
ten the voters who put those men
in office do not do so from a high
sense of moral responsibility, but

The tax now is l per cent each
and it will be at this rate during
1889 when it will rise to l12 per
cent each. Under this plan the
government has collected over 700
million dollars more than it has
spent. By the end of 1899 it will
have collected over billion and a
half more than it will have spent.
By the end of 1912 it will have
collected nearly four billion more
than it will have spent. These
four billions are supposed to be
part of a "reserve." But this is
a Pickwickian reserve composed
of phantom dollars, since the gov
ernment is spending all this money
on ordinary government expenses
as fast as it is collected.
There has been grave criticism
of all this and a demand for the
abolition of this fake reserve ac-
count. To meet that now the So
called advisory council is going to
recommend that the government
share in one-third the tax. That
of course, is ridiculous. What the
government should do is to put ar
end to the present oppressive tax
on payrol.s and employers and
adopt a tax which will he suffi-
cient to meet the costs of old age
pensions. Then the government,
can raise taxes any way it wishes
to nav the ordinary expenses o1
the government, instead of pre-
tending to be accumulating a big
reserve which it is not accumu-
lating and cannot accumulate and
using that artifice to tax payrolls
to meet government expenses
This year the government will
collect half a billion dollars by
means of this payroll tax. Next
year it will collect around $780,
GOO 600. The government could cut
that tax in half-even more-and
still have enough to build a big re-
serve. ....

NEW YORK.-A report from
~ Washington is that the Social
Security Advisory Council is go
ing to recommend that the United
States share in the old-age pen
sion tax.
At present the employer pays l
per cent, the employe per cent.
The plan is to have the employer,
he employe and the United States
government each pay one-third of
he tax, the tax, however, to re-
main the same as now.
This sounds like a great conces-
sion-a liberalization of the old
age tax system. But like all the
proposals as well as arrange
nents of the federal government
with reference to old-age pension
finance this has all the earmarks
Of a tricky plan. On its face it
sounds quite generous. In fact it
is plan to divert attention from
most vicious tax.
Every authority on old age pen
sions is agreed that the tax i'm
posed by the government should
De large enough to pay the cost
Of old age pensions and no larger.
A tax of one-half per cent on
worker and a half per cent on
employer would produce far more
than enough for many years. If
such a tax were levied for five
years and then raised to l per cent
each for five years more, this
would soon run into quite few
billions more than necessary to
pay all the old age benefits for the
next ten years and leave big
reserve. Instead the tax is fixed
at l per cent each on employer
and employe for three years. Then
1t will be raised to 11a per cent
on each for three years and then
to 2 per cent each for three years,
increasing each three years until
1t is 3 per cent each =
