WORKERS ARE ASKED
TO SECURE ACCOUNT
NUMBER FOR PENSION

Three points are emphasized by
Stewart j. Thomas, manager of the
Social Security Boards Butte Field
Office, observance of which will as
sist employers in complying with the
Federal Old-Age Insurance plan.
Our office has received numerous
Forms SS-5, worker applications for
account number, filed by employers
under authority given in Treasury
Regulations" Mr.. Thomas said. 1--WE
cannot assign account numbers be-
cause there is insufficient informa-
ton furnished upon which to make
a positive Identification of the work
ers involved"
Mr.. Thomas's three points are:
|. The employer, in failing to e
quire each employee to file applica-
ton and secure an Account Number,
has obligated himself to file for such
employee, thus causing himself
otherwise unnecessary work.
2. In failing to secur from his
employee sufficient information to
permit a positive Identification he
has made it impossible for the board
to assign an Account Number.
3. His employee, from whom tax
has been collected, cannot be credit
ed with the amount of wages re-
ported until such time as positive
Identification of the worker can be
established.
Mr.. Thomas reminds employers
that the next information returns are
not due until on or before January
81, 1888.

What SOME MEN ARE
SAYING IN MAGAZINES

Either American conservatism
must surrender the dogma that
property is to be the master of po-
litical power or it must destroy dem
ocratic government; for no people
can affirm its own essence-the true
purpose of democracy-unless it is
the master of the forms of property
and the rights, themselves but legal
forms, which inhere in them. An
American conservatism which, built
upon the assumption that the sur
render must be made, would revival
ize the ~democracies of the world. 1t
would stay as perhaps nj other force
can stay, the advance of those dark
forces which in Europe threaten to
engulf us in a new age of barbarism.

If you are going to fight Fascism
you have got to fight it at home.
Fascism is a disease of sick capital
ism, not a disease of democracy. The
cure for Fascism is intelligent popu-
lar government. The roots are not
in certain wicked demagogues named
Hitler and Mussolini, but in the jit-
ters of monopolists in Paris, London,
and New York, who fear a rising Of
the working class of the world more
than they fear the loss of their own
empires; in the desperation of a be-
wildered middle class, and also, we
must add, in the lag behind events
of the leadership of the working
class movement.-John Dos Passos,
