Coop Purchases Two
Feed Mills In
Oregon

WALLA WALLA, Wash.-(CNS)-
Pacific Supply Cooperative has just
completed negotiations to purchase
the Deschutes Grain & Feed company
at Redmond, Oregon, and Merrill Mills
of Merrill, Oregon, as part of its pro
gram to step up feed production and
distribution in Central Oregon.
Addition of the two new feed mills
will put the giant Pacific Northwest
Co-ops in a position to supply farm
ers in that area more economically
than ever before In addition to the
central feed mill and warehouses will
be five warehouses-two at Madras,
and one each at Paxton, Metolius and
Culver-all in Oregon.
This move is part of the five-year
expansion program aimed at increas-
ing the business volume of Pacific
Supply Cooperative from $8,000,OOO in
1915 to $25, 100000 in 1850. Pacific Sup
ply Cooperative is owned by more
than a hundred local retail co-opera-
tives in Oregon, Washington, and

Q. What do people mean by the
"old age problem%'
A. Old age has become problem
in America for the reason that we
have a growing number of old people
in our population, and old people for
the most part are unable to keep in
dependent. We are no longer a young
nation. In 1860 it is estimated that
there were in the United States about
100000 persons IS years old and over.
This was 2.3 per cent of the popula-
ton. In other words, roughly one per-
son in 43 was 65 or over By 1900 the
number of aged had grown to over
100000 making the proportion Al per
cent-roughly one person IN every "a
was 65 or over. In the next 40 years
the number of aged tripled. We had
100000 aged persons in 194O-6.S per
cent of the population. In that year
one person in every IA was 65 years
old or over. And there is no question
that the trend will increase over the
years. 1t is estimated that by 1880 we
shall have we'll over twice the num-

BOARD ANSWERS MANY QUESTIONS ON
SOCIAL SECURITY INSURANCE
Field Office Explains Operation of Federal Laws Eligibility
OF Workers, Survivors Insurance; Claims Filing
And Other Phases of Regulations
BY STEWART ]. THOMAS
Social Security Field Office, Helena

Der of aged we have today. There will
be 18,000,000 persons 65 years old OF
over. That will mean Ill per cent OF
the population. or roughly one person
in every eight. In part this is because
the advance of medical science has
heightened the span of life so that
more people live beyond the age OF
65. In part it is because we have few
er children nowadays so that the pro-
portion of old people is greater.
Old People SO Likely To
Become Destitute
The tragedy lies not in the fact that
we have many old people, but in the
fact that old people are so likely to
become destitute. Very few old folks
retire because they have an income
to retire on. They retire because they
have been elbowed out of the labor
market. Employers prefer young peo-
pie, and old folks cannot compete with
the young for jobs. In times like these
when manpower is in great demand
we don't see so much of that; compe-
tition is not so cruel as in slack times
But when the number of jobs is small
er than the number of workers, the
old folks don't get much chance.
Our old folks retire because they are
broken down in health An accident
has overtaken them, or blindness, deaf
ness, paralysis, chronic illness, or
mental disease. Before the Social Sc
curity act went into effect, approach
ing old age was a nightmare to most
people; the great majority were tor
mented by the spectre of insecurity.
The vision of Old Folks Home or of
the more cruel sounding poor farm
was an ever-present fear.
Q. How does social insurance meet
the "old age problem?'
A. When the Social Security act was
passed in 1885, an insurance program
was set up to help solve the problem
of old-age dependency in America. The
program was intended to provide an
income for workers when they grow
too old to work. 1t was soon realized,
however, that this protection is not
enough. The FAMILIES of retired
workers also need protection. In 1889
the act was amended to allow for this.
Today not only the worker himself
receives monthly insurance benefits
when he retires at 65 or later. His wife
at 65 and his children under IS also
receive monthly benefits
Q. Are all workers and their fam.
lilies protected by old age and surviv-
ors insurance?
A. At present the system operates
only for wage and salary earners in
private industry and business.

Printers Union First to Fight for
Compulsory Education
Early last century, even before the
Bill of Rights was finally adopted, the
Typographical Union of Philadelphia
was the first organization in this coun-
try to make the fight for compulsory
education through public schools.
Organized labor in Montana has al
ways been foremost in supporting our
educational institutions. When the
university mileage tax was voted upon
in 1920, 1890 and 1910, it was the votes
of union men and women that won
the election
In the 1880 election, 38 counties
voted against the mileage tax and IS
counties in favor of it and these IS
counties were the ones in which the
labor vote predominated. In 55 coun-
ties outside of Silver Bow, the mile
age tax was defeated by about $500
votes. However, when the vote of the
union men and women of Butte and
Silver Bow County was tabulated, the
mileage tax carried in the state by
a majority of about $780, The same
thing happened in the mileage tax ref
erendum in 1910. The majority in its
favor in the strongholds of labor over
came all opposition and our greater
educational institutions received the
money to maintain them
In the legislature of 1897, the Mon
tana Education association had intro
duced bill for Teachers Retirement.
The bill was drafted by New York
lawyer and actuary at cost, it is said,
of thousand dollar fee. The bill ar
rived from New York near the dead
line for introducing bills and there
was little time in which to study the
bill and there was much opposition
among legislators against the measure
The Retirement law was enacted. La
Dor co-operated with the Montana Ed
ucation association, and had organized
labor not got behind the Retirement
bill, it never would have become a
law and thousand-dollar-bi would
have been wasted.

islature, a constitutional amendment

Before constitutional amendment
be proposed, the supreme court should
act on the constitutionality of the
amendment to the Teachers Retire
ment law enacted by the last legisla-
tive assembly.
However, the writer has stated the
amendment in his opinion is in viola
ton of the constitution of Montana,
as the constitution gives the legisla-
ture no power to spend the money of
any school district that has been
raised by the school trustees by levy
on property within the school district
for school purposes.
At the legislative public hearing
held February, 1915, the writer did
suggest that the legislature submit to
a vote of the taxpayers, whether
special state levy be made for a spe-
cific number of years-say six years
and the money raised by the levy,
be placed to the credit of the Teach
ers Retirement fund. This if found de-
sirable, could be again adopted by a
vote of the taxpayers.
The enactment of the amendment
to the Teachers Retirement act is no
credit to the legislators who voted for
it, or to those who sponsored house
bill No. 65, as the tax on school dis
tricts is unfair and not equitable
