SOCIAL SECURITY TAX
RATES TO BE CHANGED;
issue BEFORE CONGRESS
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, April Is. = The
changes proposed in the social Sc
curity tax rates do not mean any
one is going to get something for
nothing. The Government doesn't
work that way.
First off, keep in mind that the
two percent payroll tax-one per-
cent each from employer and en-
ployee-doesn't pay for the amount
of social security benefits ultimate
ly sought in the act. When the full
old age benefits-$55 to $85 month
are provided, the total outlay
will equal 10 percent or even more
of the total payroll. The present
toll, remember, is two percent. That
u percent or more, good people, is
something to think about.
The men designing the act in
1885 thought about it. They doubt
ed that employers or employees
ever would pay such tax. Some
proposed to dip into the Treasury
when the load got too heavy for
the payroll But that also hit a
snag. Only so percent of the ma
tons payroll was to be affected.
Farm hands, domestic servants,
and several other large groups
were not included. SO there was
not much justification for using
general taxes to pay benefits to so
percent OF industrys payroll.
