TEN YEARS OF SOCIAL SECURITY

August IA, 1915 marks the tenth an
niversary of the Social Security act
| Through this legislation, which organ
lied labor fought so hard to enact
old-age and unemployment insurance
systems have been established for
millions of American workers. Provi
sion has likewise been made to assist
the needy old, the needy blind, and
dependent children.
Stewart J. Thomas, manager of the
Helena Social Security board field Of
flee, reviewed the progress that has
been made under these three pro-
grams during the last 10 years as fol-
lows:
OId-Age and Survivors Insurance
BY the middle of 1915, more than 70
million persons, or two out of three in
our total population aged IA or over,
have built up some credit toward
benefits under our federal system of
old-age and survivors insurance. Some
40 million of these are insured, so
that, if they should die tomorrow,
their families would be eligible to re-
ceive monthly benefits or lump sum
of money. Already we'll over million
men and women are receiving $40
million in benefit payments each
month.
Unemployment Insurance
About SO million workers are now
protected by job insurance under the
unemployment insurance
Millions more are building
up wage credits that will later make
them eligible for such benefits. By
the end of 1914, states unemployment
insurance funds were great enough to
have paid II out of every 100 workers
IN covered employment job insurance
'or the greatest number of weeks pro-
yided under state laws.
Public Assistance
Through 1914, the federal govern
nent had contributed we'll over $212 |
billion to the states to help finance
heir assistance programs for three
the needy old, the needy
,lind and dependent children. More
han 80 per cent of this total was dis

HEELS WITH OR WITHOUT SOULS
By ARTHUR STORM

The fellow who has devoted his
whole life to shooting off his puss,
but is full of edifying old saws about
the moral excellence and practical val
ne of silence-for others.
The charming gentleman who gets
the high moral fantods whenever any
one commits the brutality of calling
fascist fascist = but who daily re-
defines the term Communist to make
it fit whomever he dislikes.
The homegrown saint who contem-
plates his own crimes with glutinous
Christian charity and affectionate I'M
derstanding oozing from every pore
but who demands perfection without
even physical flaw in those whom
he regards as his interiors.

tributed to states to help care for ell
derby people in need AS more and
more people are covered by old-age
and survivors insurance, this number
will decrease over the years.
Out of its experience in administer
ing the act the Social Security board
has recommended to congress that
the law be expanded to cover sick
ness, permanent disability and medi-
cal care insurance; and extended to
include millions not now covered by
its provisions.

To Whom 1t May Concern:
Following is a resolution adopted
by the Montana State Ladies' Auxil-
larry Council CLIO:
Whereas, Miss Violet Eastman,
teacher in the public schools in Hell
ena, Mont. has proved, by her past
record, her ability to be an instructor
in the Public School System, and
Whereas. from all the information
we can gather from reliable sources
there is no criticism of Miss East
mans work in her capacity as an in
structor, and
Whereas, Miss Eastman is a mem
Der of organized labor, belonging to
the Helena Teachers Union, and also
a delegate to the Helena Trades and
Labor Assembly, and
Whereas, Miss Eastman has not
been given a contract to teach in
Helena for the year 1856, and
Whereas, it would seem that Miss
Eastman is being prosecuted on ac-
count of political and union activities,
therefore,
Be It Resolved; That this assem-
bly, of the Women's Auxiliary of the
Montana State Industrial Union Coun-
Gil go on record as condemning the
action of the Helena school board in
Miss Eastman's case, as a violation
of the individuals constitutional
rights, and
Be 1t Further Resolved; That a
copy of this resolution be sent to the
Helena board of education voicing our
protest most strenuously in the mat
ter of the aforesaid action, and
Be 1t Finally Resolved That a
copy of this resolution be sent to the
Helena Observation-Disclosures with re-
quest that it be published so that the
people of Helena may be informed of
the attitude of organized labor in this
instance.
Adopted at the Fifth Annual AS

ell, CLIO, of the state of Montana, held

Sixty Million Jobs
DrasUs Communications

Whatever the lawmakers think,
the reviewers certainly are full OF
praise for Wallace's book. The New
York Times calls it "a thoughtful
and thought provoking discussion
of American political economy, and
the Saturday Review Of Literature,
agreeing with the Times, adds that,
more than any recent work on
economics or politics, it can serve
as a moral testament and intel
lectual guide in the eventful, diff
cult days ahead"
The work appeared first in busi-
ness-letter-sheet size with paper
cover; it followed in orthodox book
form. Later the author hopes, he
told me, that it will be printed in
cheap, pocket-size edition.
When Mr.. Wallace said that I
thought I caught his ectoplasnic
triplet nodding emphatic approval
while ghostly lips formed the words,
"for every voters pocket"
Much water will pass beneath the
Potomac bridges between now and
1948 or 1852 We have with us at
present conservative congress and
the political veterans say that no
matter which way the wind may
blow abroad, it is blowing to the
right on Capitol hill and, they add
hopefully, perhaps not too leftward
at the other end of Pennsylvania
avenue.
If too conservative congress did
not grant the minimum legislative
implementation, the Sixty Million
Jobs plan could not be carried out.
That, however, Mr.. Wallace's sup
porters insist, will simply make 60
million people who want jobs, plus
their families, vote for the man
who believes they can be produced.

Active Department
Secrefary's Goal

Wipe out of your mind, II you will,
that one-time problem child OF the
New Deal, the agricultural adjust
ment administration. Now weigh
the testimony Of observers, nclud-
ing anti-Wallaceites, and think you
will learn that as secretary OF agri-
culture, the author Of Sixty Mill
lion Jobs did good job In re-
vitalizing his department.
How much it will cost to do as
much for commerce, we couldn't get
him to estimate. but he finally told
us that it would be less than one
sixth Of the cost of one days war
at We Day. BY series OF calcula-
tons we arrived at the figure Of 40
million dollars. Since the commerce
department spent about 121 million
. dollars last year, Mr.. Wallace's
changes would make total cost for
his revitalized department OF 16l
million dollars.
Those who cry economy will
shudder at that figure but they will
, hear this answer: If business, big
and little, wants help similar to that
which agriculture demands and gets
it will cost something. The depart
ment of agriculture cost approx
mately 769 million dollars to run last
year, and the farmers wouldn't
want it to do less.
There will also be another explain
alton of the figures which will at
tempt to show that part of the ex-
pansion of the reorganized depart
ment is really contraction, and that
brings us to the second integer OF
the three-in-one composition of Mr..
Wallace's plan. The plan is more
than blueprint for changes in q
single governmental institution. 1t

is definitely part of President Tru-
mans reorganization plan which it
is fair to assume would bring back
under the commerce rooftree the
horde of agencies and commissions
which have to do with industry and
business.
And now we come to part three of
the tri-partible function Of the Wal.
lace program. It is by his own
implication, a part of his recipe for
full employment included in his
book, Sixty Million Jobs" and men
ton Of that brings me to an ex-
animation of Mr.. Wallace himself.
I said that like the program of re-
organization for his department, Mr..
Wallace seemed tripartitent to me.
When called upon him, he came
down the great, cavernous room
which Herbert Hoover planned for
his successor and we sat in chairs
about a little table that made hos
pitable oasis in the midst of the
desert vastness of high walls and
lofty ceiling.

lace. presidential candidate 09ae
or at least 1882.
Perhaps / would not have believed
my eyes if it had not been for q
statement which a stout supporter
of Mr.. Wallace had made to me:
Sixty Million Jobs comes pretty
near to being just about the best
political platform the Democratic
party can run on in the next cleo
ton"
In one place, Author Wallace says:
'"There are few, of course, who
think that any government servant
who uses the phrase full employ
ment' is engaged in some deep dark
plot. But they are the exceptions
that prove the peoples sanity and
soundness as a whole"
Senator Mcclellan might be con-
sidered one of the exceptions from
his remarks in the debate on the
full employment bill. He said that
the measure "says a great deal
and actually means nothing except
to create an erroneous impression in
the minds of the people" He later
described it as "soft SOAP"
