Milford, Friday, December Is, 1914

ALMOST FIFTY million Ameri-
cans are paying one per cent of
their earnings to the federal gov
ernment, employers another one
per cent, toward their old age
pension system. When the law
was passed in 1885 it specified
that the rate should increase in
1943 so that both the employee and
employer should pay two per cent.
The purpose was to build up a
fund sufficient to finance the re-
quirements of the system. Con-
gress last year. and against last
week, voted to retain the one per
cent rate. The reasoning of the
members of congress would seem
to be sound. The fund has
grown to such large proportions
that additional money is not
needed at the present time to
properly lludHCe IL. ne Ollly CA
cuse for the increase is that the
federal government needs money
badly to carry on the war effort.
This war money can be secured
without evasion. through the prop
er taxing agencies or through the
issuance of bonds. Certainly the
American worker. and the Ameri-
can employer. should not be pen
allied through trickery into pay
ing this increased Social Security
tax. When the need arises for
larger funds to pay the aged. then
the time will be ripe to increase
the rate. Congress acted wisely in
setting the rate at one per cent.
and it should override a Presiden-
tial veto should the bill be re-
turned to them without signature.

TRAFFIC EXPERTS agree that
a large increase in accidents is due
this winter unless there is gen
eral desfre on the part of all driv-
ers to eliminate reckless driving
and needless wrecking of cars.
Members of the National Safety
Council Committee on winter
driving hazards have issued
warning which shows that in the
snow and ice area of the nation
a greater number of accidents Oc-
cur during the winter months than
in summer. The committee cau-
tions all drivers to remember that
braking distances on snow and ice
without anti-skid chains are from
four to eleven times greater than
IN dry pavements. and that wet ice
near the thawing line. is twice as
slippery as dry ice near zero. All
who use the winter roads are eau
toned to follow other vehicles at
safe distances, to slow down well
in advance at intersections and
curbs, and at all times to adjust
speed to conditions rather than
to a basis of arbitrary rates. This
advise is timely, for never was the
need for precaution in driving
greater than this year. The cars
are aging. their tires are becoming
dangerously smooth and worn. and
our dwindling pool of usable auto
mobiles must be preserved. This is
essential if transportation is to be
maintained for necessary drivers.
All automobile owners and drivers
will make a real contribution to the
war effort if they so adjust their
winter driving so that they shall
avoid accidents. with their result
ant wrecking or damaging of badly
needed vehicles.
