security systems throughout the world
: The British is tripartite system

Beverage Plan proposes that the gov

half of the annual requirements of the
, social security budget, and the work
: ers' contributions and the employers
contributions are each to approximate

Government contribution makes pos
sible the exemption from taxation of
those who would be deprived of liv-
ing necessities thereby. Where an
increase in the rate of taxation to
provide adequate benefits would Gre
ate hardship or result in lower living
standards, it seems clear that the gov

surance fund rather than increase the
burden on the beneficiaries. Exemp-

national policy. Certainly, no worker
whose wages are insufficient to pro-
vide him with more than mere sub
sistence should have those wages cut
or reduced by wage taxes.
In sum, we recommend % that the
benefits of the Bill be financed
through tripartite contributions by
employers, employees, and the gov
eminent, and (2) that exemptions
from contribution be granted to those
whose earnings are at or below sub
sistence level
TX.
The Creation of Unified National
Social Security System.
The bill sets up a unified national
social security system consisting of
eleven divisions, as follows: "a Pub |
lie Employment Offices, (2) Old Age
Insurance, (3) Survivors Insurance,
"a Permanent Disability Insurance,
90 Lump Sum Death Benefits, CO. |
Protection to Individuals in Military
Service, CD Unemployment Insurance
Benefits, 90 Temporary Disability
Benefits, co. Maternity Insurance
Benefits, (10) Medical and Hospital
cation Benefits, and (1D Social In
surance Contributions and Federal
Social Insurance Trust Fund
The principle of unification of social
security administrations in a single,
social security system is
clearly sound. The evils of multi
plicity of social insurance administra-
lions and the advantages in economy,
and social benefit provided
by an integrated and unified system [
are obvious.
The Bill Should Be Supported by
Every American
We regard the Bill as significant t,
advance in the march toward the
achievement of an adequate system
Of social security for our country. In !
ruth, this Bill, by creating Federal /,
health insurance system, by Federal
zing unemployment insurance, by :.
treating a Federal-State public assist
ance system, by vastly increasing the
of social security so as to
include virtually the entire working
population of the country, and by
neasurably increasing benefits, is a
tupendous advance.
The Bill deserves the support of !.
very American who desires to achieve
he objective of freedom from want :
Next week we shall discuss Social | n
Security Problems Requiring Further |,
study, and Suggestions for Amend il

WORK PRAISED

lnlS week Governor Sam G
Ford made the following state
ment regarding the accomplish
ments of Montana during the
recent salvage drives:
Il have just received the most
recent report from the state
salvage committee of collection
OF various salvage items through
out the state of Montana for
Inc past five months of 1914.
1T was to be expected that
Montana would do an outstand-
Ing job in the salvage program
as she has been and is doing
In all other programs in con-
nection with the war effort. The
state salvage committee, chair
named by William E. Rae of
Havre, with the women's dir
ector, Mrs. Neva Magraw of Hell
ena; chairman of the waste
paper division, James J. Fla
herty of Great Falls; chairman
OF the industrial salvage com
mlttee, Joseph L. Markham of
Butte; and Sc county chairmen
and women directors and thou
sands of volunteer workers are
entitled to the highest praise
and recognition for their untir-
ing efforts in behalf of this wal
program.
For a state comprised mainly
of rural areas, having three
counties without railroad facil-
tiles, and having only a few
scattered scrap dealers, the re-
suits of the salvage collection
program since its inception have
been phenomenal.
AT the present time Montana
leads the nation in the collec-
ton and shipment of industrial
iron and steel scrap. The splen-
did work of Montana housewives
has resulted in Montana leading
the nation in the collection of
kitchen fats on a percentage of
quota basis. We are far above
our quota on farm scrap and
are among the few leading
states in the collection of waste
paper and rags on a per capital
basis. Such a record truely in
dlcates the patriotic efforts of
Montana people.
II wish to express for the
Montana salvage committee and
myself our deepest appreciation
to every man, woman and child
who has made this record pos
slble and to ask that the splen-
did work be intensified until
final victory"

WLB SAYS INITIATION
 IN INTERIOR TOWNS
 RESULT OF WAGE BOOST

SEATTLE-Income tax disallow- ances of more than $200,OO0 against 65 Alaska firms, said to have violated the wage stabiliza- tion rules have been recommended by Roy E. Jackson, chief enforce ment attorney of the Seattle re- gional office of the War Labor board.
 Many of these firms voluntarily made stipulations of the amounts of their illegal wage payments, Jackson said.
 we found employers raising wages in order to keep their em- ployes, and to meet the increase in payroll, employers raised prices to keep pace. As a result we found true imitation underway in the in terior towns of the territory ' Jackson said.

 The roll call and initiation last Monday was the best yet. The Elks 'haH was beautifully decorated with huge baskets of lavender and gold flowers. a fit setting for lbe tra- ditional candlelight ceremony of initiation.
 Marshal Betty Bjorge deserves and received much praise not only for the flowers. which she care fully hoarded for the occasion. but also for the lineup of officers drill led by Flag Bearers Agnes Tennis and Rose Wing to the jhusie of or ganist Laura Bradley.
 President Elswick Performed her duties admirably and Mrs Aurora Grant, Mrs Grace Wellons, Mrs. Ruth Warfel and Mrs Ruth Har- yey are now fully fledged members of the Wrangen Emblem club.
 The business meeting was short and snappy We voted to sup port the Tuberculosis Drive by pur- chasing a bonds We agreed that all members will either bring or send (preierably bring a pumpkin pie for 9he pie sale at the EIks dance November 22-the proceeds go to us say the Brothers" - and we ended by discussing the card par ties that have been held every Thursday night during the winter months, voting to support the EIks in the idea of cutting down to one party a month, which date will be announced later.
 A farewell gift was presented to Chaplain Dorothy Smith by Presi- dent Elswiek, who expressed regret at her moving to Craig and thanked her for her fine support of club work.
 Next meeting night is Monday, November 27, and Agnes Tennis and daughter Maxine have promised something nice in way of refresh ments.
 Past President Louise Curtis was in Ketchikan at the time of the meeting so we were unable to pre- sent her with the pin.
 Sponge cake and assorted sand wiches served by Hostess Mildred Grant, Clarice Stensland and Betty BJorge ended most pleasant eye ming.

TESTIFY
 AT INDIAN HEARINGS

SEATTLE = Three sourdoughs with a combined experience of more than 15O years in Alaska denied that Indians claiming aboriginal rights to a huge section of south eastern Alaska ever were paid for hunting and fishing in the area. The Indians, in the hearings at Rake, Hydaburg and Klawokc testi- fled to support their claims 10 fishing rights in all public lands bounded by approximately 2,OO0 miles of Alaska shoreline, that in the early days they received fees from white men for the taking of fish and game in the territory.
 James Taylor, TO, went to Alaska in 1899 and fished in the waters involved. Charles Goldstein 76. now a Juneau merchant, migrated north in 1885 A. W. ShieIs, 65. president of the Pacific American Canneries, Inc, went to Alaska in 1897.
 All testified they never paid or heard of anyone paying the Indians for fishing, hunting and trading. Shiels testified his company never paid a cent to the Indians nor been asked to do so.
 T never heard of the Indian claim of proprietary rights to south eastern Alaska tidelands until 1942 when the so-called question of ab- original rights was first agitated, Shiels said He added that his com pany would be forced to close their cannery at Petersburg should the claims be upheld.
 l. A. Sandvigen, business agent of the International Machinists asso- citation, testified that approximately 600 members of his union would lose their livelihood in the canner- ies if the claims are upheld.
 It was testified that the physical value for insurance purposes of the canneries in the claimed area alone amounts to $4,277053.

Bond Drive Will Begin
 On Monday

The Sixth War Loan drive to raise I4 billion dollars to finance the war program and deliver the knockout punch to Hitler will get under way next Monday, November 20, and continue to December 16. Wrangells quota has been set at S19,000, which includes $12,00O in Series E bonds, $20O0 for indiyidu- als other than E bonds, and $5000 for corporations H. B. Thornquist is local chairman of the drive.
 During the Fifth War Loan drive last June Wrangell citizens pur- chased $32,20O worth of bonds; therefore the quota should easily be reached this time.
 Governor Ernest Gruening, terri torial chairman of the War Finance committee, sends the following mes sage to Alaskans:
 Five times the people of the Unit ed States have been asked to step forward and place their dollars back of our fighting forces. Five times they have answered that call with a response that has left no doubt in the minds of our enemies that the American nation stands soIidly behind every man and woman engaged in combat.
 The Sixth summons has gone forth. Between November 20 and December 16, II billion dollars must be placed in the United States Treasury by the hands of patriotic American citizens.
 A wave of optimism has swept the country, fostered by individu- als who, indulging in wishful thinking, are deluding themselves with the false assumption h a with victory in Europe, our job is nearly done. No greater mistake can be made Months of struggle may still face our men now fight ing so desperately against the Ma zi enemy.
 And with the American landings in the Philippines, the Pacific war is entering it's most intensive peri od The Japs are a strong a Il treacherous enemy, entrenched over a wide area and at a great distance from our sources of supply. The cost of victory in this theatre will, as a result, be far greater than that in Europe.
 With the situation as it now stands, our efforts are needed more than ever before. This is not the time to relax. It is rather the mo- ment to bring renewed energy to the cause - to reassure our men that our staunch and unfailing sup port is with them during h e e dark hours, when they are facing death to bring freedom to the world.
