Draft Of Boys 1919

Prompt Action

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3-(R)
Senator Quincy (R-SD) de-
manded in the Senate today the
immediate drafting of youths of
10 and 10 years of age.
The proposal brought a quick
protest from Senator Bilbo 3D.
Miss, who said the idea of send
ing tender boys into combat was
"abhorrent" to him.
Quincy offered an amend
ment to the Selective Service
act which he said was designed
to provide youths under 20 a
maximum period of training be-
fore "they would have to 60 in
to combat"
The Quincy amendment was
referred to the military affairs
committee, where Democratic
Senators have professed distaste
for lowering age limits for in
duction, with one warning
against mobilization of an army
so large that it would endanger
the nations efficiency as 1.-The
arsenal of democracy"

Field Says A. P. Suit Aids
Real Freedom Of Press
BY the Associated Press.


PETERBOROUGH, Ontario, Oct.
5.-Marshall Field, publisher of the
Chicago Sun, expressed belief today
that successful prosecution Of an
antitrust suit against the Asso-
ciated Press would prove to be one
of the most important moves ever
made toward real freedom of the
press in American journalism"
The United States Government
recently filed a civil action against
the newsgathering organization,
charging it was a monopoly. Mem
bers of the Associated Press pre-
viously had refused to grant men,
bership to the Chicago Sun.
Addressing the Ontario-Quebec
circulation managers convention,
Mr.. Field asserted that the purpose
OF the Government action was not
to dissolve the Associated Press "nor
to restrict or injure in any way its
free and useful functiohing." 80
Rather the purpose is to compel
the Associated Press to eliminate
the monopolistic features of its
structure, and become in fact what
1t Is in name, cooperative organi-
zation of American newspapers
formed for the purpose of gather
Ing and distributing news"
Evening star., 1942-10-05


The result was that all the States
set up unemployment compensa-
ton, most of them quickly. To have
neglected this opportunity would
have f,n1eant paying per cent into
the Federal Treasury without any
direct benefit.
The States were given latitude In
devising their systems. They pre-
scribed the rates their employers
would pay, the durations of benefit
payments and how workers would
become eligible. Since, however, 80
per cent was the maximum credit
which employers could receive for
State funds from the Federal pay
roll tax of 3 per cent, 81 per cent
was the standard State rate-fcr a
time. Fl
Through some inadvertence a law
was drafted for the District of Co.
lumbia, treated as a State in the
Federal law, fixing the payroll tax,
after 1888, at straight per cent,
in addition to the 0.3 per cent which
must go to the Federal Government
Since compensation payments did
not begin until January, 1888, the
tax rate here was per cent in 1886
and, per cent in 1887. With the 3
per cent contributions which the
District began collecting in 1898, the
unemployment insurance rate of en-
ployers here was the highest in the
country. In 1910 the assessment
for the local government was re-
duced to 2.7 per cent to conform
with the rate accepted as standard.
Experience Rating Plan.
The Federal Unemployment Tax
Act, which took over that portion
of the Social Security Act relating
to job insurance, allowed the States,
if they chose, to set up what is
known as the experience rating plan
of payroll taxation. While there
are various forms of applying this
plan, all have the same objective-to
provide an incentive for the pre-
vention of unemployment. The sys-
tenn is designed to lower the tax of
the employer who has steady pay
roll and whose former employees
draw minimum amount OF bene-
fits, leaving a larger tax for the
employer whose former employees
draw a greater amount of benefits.

The Federal Government demands
only that employers turn in the 0.3
per cent required for the Federal
Treasury. The States may fix their
rates as low as they consider safe
for an adequate reserve as long as
they meet requirements of the So
cial Security Board and maintain
the solvency of their reserve fund.
Experience rating, in one form or
another, now has been adopted in
SO States. In all the others except
Pennsylvania commissions have
been appointed to make studies of
the system, with a view to putting
it into effect later.
With Hawaii, Alaska and the Dis
trict of Columbia, there are 81
Jurisdictions with unemployment
insurance. A few have repealed ex-
perience rating provisions of their
laws before such provisions became
effective. These States are now op-
Grating under the 27 per cent rate
that applies In the District.
The District, with its flat rates of
3 per cent. in 1898 and 1899 and 81
per cent since, has piled up a bene-

ment.
Which groups and. organizations.
in general, are lined up behind
each plan and what some of their
spokesmen say will be reported in
the next chapter of this series.
The additional arguments for ex-
perience rating by those who favor
it are: -
/. That it is the most equitable
form of taxation-the rate being
scaled according to the benefits.
2. That it is the only method Of
reducing rates permitted under the
Federal Social Security Act, and
that any other method involves an
amendment of the act and this
involves introduction Of various is
sues having nothing to do with the
situation in the District of Columbia.
3. That 1t increases employer
interest in operation of tax, by
giving the employer real incentive
to cut down the layoff of employees
and thus the tax.
4. That it preserves State control
over administration of the act,
thereby preventing liberalization
and control by the National Gov
ernment of Dement'S as well as taxes.
Flat Tax Backers Reply.
Those urging fiat tax say:
Employers engaged in seasonal
or part-year work, like contractors.
should not be penalized for a condi-
ton they cannot control. Seasonal
employers go out in the labor mar
ket and take, on jobless workers
for varying periods, helping to that
extent, and they should not be taxed
for this. Experience rating would
tend to discourage an employer from
hiring extra help at certain times,
because his tax rate would be
affected when he had to lay off these
workers. Particularly in Washing
ton, where the Federal payroll Is
the dominant influence on private
employment, no enterprise should
be punished" by high taxes for
the variation of employment which
results from fluctuations in Federal
payrolls. The only fair way is to
tax every one alike.

committee Of the House District
Committee Tho sllhcnmmitfae

committee of the House District
Committee. The subcommittee
chairman, Representative McGehee,
Democrat, of Mississippi introduced
both by request, 50 that the sub
committee and later the whole COM
mittee would have alternative plans
of bringing about this tax relief be-
fore them for guidance.
The original McGehee bill, intro
duced last June, would keep the
District on a flat-rate basis, but
would reduce the payroll assessment
to 0.5 per cent If the surplus fund
equaled four times the highest bene-
fit year to date. At present, the
highest benefit year saw about
$4,000, 900 paid out, and so the low
rate would prevail. The measure
provides for increased rates on a
sliding scale If the reserve were de-
creased, with a maximum of the
present rate, 81, should the fund
fall below sum less than twice the
high-payment year. The bill also
requires a study by the District Un-
employment Compensation Board of
experience in dealing with local pay
rolls. The board would submit to
Congress not later than January /,
1914, recommendations for means of
encouraging job stabilization.
The other bill sets up Immediately
an experience rating system, with
the tax ranging from OIL to 81 per
cent, depending on the amount of
benefits paid to former employees
by each employer. Records of each
employers tax payments since July
/, 1899, would be compared with the
amount of benefits paid to former
employees. Excess of tax payments
over benefits would be considered
as a reserve. Thus the employers
with the highest reserve-attesting
to steady payroll-would pay the
least tax and those with the lowest
reserve would pay higher taxes.
While businessmen. District Gov
ernment officials and labor leaders
virtually are unanimous in declar-
ing the present law should be
amended-the huge, wasted reserve
cut down, the tax lowered-they dis
agree quite emphatically on which
plan is the fairest and most fea-
sible.
These, briefly, are arguments by
advocates Of the experience-rating
system:
It is only fair that employers
whose turnover is light, who. give
steady work, should pay less than
employers, whose jobs are less cer-
tain, who hire irregularly, perhaps
seasonally. Unemployment compen-
sation Is insurance, and in all in
surance the risk is considered in fix
ing rates. Thus, an employer en-
gagged in hazardous occupation
pays higher workman's compensa-
tion rate than one who runs, say, a
candy store or q department store.

Telephone Restrictions
Necessary in Wartime

telephone facilities are reserved
for the war effort.
To make its facilities avail
able to as many persons as
possible, however, the company
is making installations on a
temporary basis in some dis
tricts with the understanding
that the service can be discon-
tinued on 4S-hour notice If the
facilities are needed for war or
other essential purposes.
The WPB also has authorized
the company to degrade" in
dividual line service to party
line service, IL the facilities are
required for the war effort.
Long Distance
To ease the burden on war
crowded wires, the company has
been carrying on an unprece-
dented advertising campaign
urging less telephone talk for
civilian purposes.
Users are asked not to call
Washington unless highly urgent,
to make only the most neces-
sary long distance calls. and to
speed up all their telephone
conversations.
In ordinary times, II would
not be necessary to impose the
restrictions on telephone install
lations or to urge restraint in
the use of the service. The Mich
igan Bell would merely build
more facilities to meet the in
creased demand for service.
Today. however. the company
cannot expand its facilities suffi-
GENTLY because the materials re-
quired for such expansion are
going into the making Of guns,
tanks. planes, jeeps and all the
other weapons of war.

for civilian purposes is moving
