YOUR OLD-AGE INSURANCE
.... Three Types of Benefits .....

There are three types of old
age insurance benefits First the
monthly retirement benefits,
which will be payable in 1912.
and thereafter; second. t h q
lump-sum payments which are
provided for workers who reach
60 before they qualify for monht
ly benefits: and third. lump
sum payments which are made
to he relatives on estates of
workers who die before they
receive old age insurance benc-
fits to which they are entitled.
Lump sum payments may he
made now, or at any time after
January l. 1887. Those who
are entitled to such payments
are men and women who have
earned wages, since the last day
of 1886, in some factory, work
shop, mill. mine, store, or some
other line of industry or business
covered by the law, and who
have attained the age of So since
January l, 1887. They need not
retire in order to receive lump
sum payments.
The United States govern
ment will pay death benefits to
relatives or estates of wage
earners who have died since
January l, 1887, and who had
participated in the old-age in
surance system during 1897 or
thereafter.
Here are three stories which
illustrate the three types of
benfits:
(a) Mary johnson works in
a shirt factory, five years or
more, after the last day of 1886.
She works in the factory part
of each of these years and in
that time is paid $4,000 or more.
Then she reaches the age of 65
and quits work in the factory.
For the rest of her life she will
receive a government check
every month in payment of her
old-age retirement benefits.
CD Now suppose Jane Gray
works in a factory two years
after 1886 and before she
reaches the age of IS. After she
reaches the age Of 65 she will
receive lump-sum payment Of
old age insurance, amounting to
three and one-half percent of all
wages she was paid by the fac
tory during these two years.
And she will get that lump-sum
payment whether she quits or
not.

Reconstruction Proved Johnson's Downfall

Ieoln when he found himself torn between a demand for reprisals on one hand and a pressure for ileniency toward the south on the other. Johnson chose to favor the south to cement the Union.
 Almest at once he hastened to ibring Virginia back into the Union, and soon after he brushed aside all regulations restricting trade with the secessionist states. He proclaimed general amnesty to nearly all Confederates and pre- pared the way for provincial gov. ernments in southern states.
 All of which ensnared the President in bitter quarrels with his northern advisers. In succeed ing months Johnson vetoed much of congressional reconstruction Legislation and finally replaced Stanton as secretary of war. The npshot was a trial to impeach the President. The vote was guilty. 35; not guilty, l9. and since a two-thirds vote was nec- essary to convict, Johnson was acquitted. But his political star had set. Not for many years were the temperate historians to jus- eity his course. Johnson Is shown kere on a stamp of the new U. s. regular series, en- larged.
