@. Is old age and survivors insur-
ance primarily an old folks program
A No. When the act was amended
in 1889, provision was made for month
ly benefits not only in old age but also
in the event of the breadwinner' S
death. Old age insurance became old
age AND SURVIVORS insurance. This
would better be termed FAMILY in
surance because so per cent of the
monthly beneficiaries are women and
children. Preserving the family is a
prime objective of the program. To
keep families together, to keep fami-
| lies Independent, to keep children in
school, to give brothers and sisters
the chance of growing up together in
normal home surroundings under the
care of their own mothers are the
cardinal principles of old age and sur
vivors insurance.
@. What workers are excluded from
old age and survivors insurance?
A. The same workers as those ex-
cluded from unemployment insurance.
There is this difference, however ALL
employees in private industry and bus
mess come under old age and surviv-
ors insurance - the number of en-
ployeesin the firm makes no differ
ence.
Broad Keeps All Records and
Passes On All Claims
@. Who runs old age and survivors
insurance?
A. Old age and survivors insurance
is a federal program, operated by the
Social Security board and the treas
ury department The Social Security
board keeps all the records and passes
upon claims for benefits the treasury
collects the taxes and issues benefit
checks.
@. Where does the money for ben
efits come from?
A. 1t comes out of trust fund
which is built from special taxes on
employers and employees.
@. How much do workers and en-
ployers have to pay into the fund?
A. The workers premium Tor taxi /
at present is one per cent of the wages |
he receives in covered employment,
up to $4,000 year. Thus if his wages
are $3.50 a month, he pays $1-50
month for his insurance. The employ
er's contribution Tor taxi is one per
cent of the wages he pays each en-
oloyee up to $4,000 year. Each of
hese rates is scheduled to go up to
hree per cent in 1919.
@. How does the worker pay his
AK?
A. The workers premium is deduct
ID from his wage every pay day by
lis employer. Once every quarter the
Employer sends the workers contri-
,ution and his own tax to the Collec- {
or of Internal Revenue.

By BRUCE SMITH, Butte

What a complete change can take
place in a mans viewpoint in a quar-
ter of a century is strikingly por
trayed in the person of Burton X
Wheeler, senior senator from the state
of Montana, now seeking another term
of six years in the United States sen
ate, where the pickins are good if
one is not too choosy and one is also
versatile acrobat, mentally, and does
not care where 1T comes from, so
long as 1T comes.
Twenty-Five years ago, Burton K.
Wheeler, seeking the support and
votes of men and women who toiled
for living, would address his appeal
to the workers from the balconies of
hotels or any other places where the
ACM did not have veto power.
Today, the dictionary gives us the
word perfectly describing what has
occurred in the actions, speeches and
mental somersaults of the senior SEN
ator The word is METAMORPHOSIS,
and we believe old Daniel Webster
must have had something like the
career of Burton K. in mind when he
defined the word.
Today, yesterday and yesteryear,
more than quarter of century since
Mr.. Wheeler made his historic an
nouncement from the balcony of the
Butte hotel-If you ever see my name
on the first page of the Montana Stan
dard you will know that have sold
outl
Yes, today, whenever the senior SEN
ator sneezes you will find his name
on the first page of the Montana Stan
dard and it's evening concubine-The
Post
The latest first-page wheeze of the
versatile politician concerns the re-
duction of one cent to ten cents per
hundred pounds in railroad rates on
petroleum products. This accomplish
ment, which was the result of a years
hard work by the senior senator, ac-
cording to him and the Montana Stan
dard, is a congenital and congenial
companion to that other outstanding
of the senator, the
securing of Mexican and prisoner-of-
war labor to perform work on farms,
while the Montana unemployed, both
veterans and other workers, tighten
their belts and look elsewhere for sus-
tanning employment

BOARD ANSWERS MANY QUESTIONS ON
SOCIAL SECURITY INSURANCE
Explains Operation of Federal Law; Eligibility
OF Workers. Survivors Insurance; Claims Filing
And Other Phases of Regulations

| O. Does everybody get the same
amount in benefits?
A. No. Benefits are based primarily
on the workers average monthly wage.
He is credited with all wages which
he received for work in covered en-
ployment, up to $4,000 a year. The So
cial Security board keeps an account
for every worker in covered employ
ment, under the workers name and
Social Security number
This number is the same as that
on the Social Security card which the
worker takes out the first time he
gets a job in private industry or bust
ness. When the worker or his family
file claim for benefits, the workers
Social Security account determines
the size of the benefits.
Q. Where does the Social Security
board get the wage figures?
A. Every three months every en-
ployer who comes under the law sends
to the government, along with the So
cial Security taxes, report of the
wages he paid each employee. Beside
each name he writes the workers So
cial Security number The Social Sc
curity board gets the figures from
these wage reports.
@. Who can get retirement bene-
tits?
A. Monthly retirement benefits are
payable to: ID the insured wage earn

DEGREES DISCRIMINATORY
FREIGHT RATES
To the Editor,
The Peoples Voice,
Helena, Montana.
Dear Sir: Why should I who live
in Helena. Arkansas, write to you in
Helena, Montana?
I am interested in the correction of
the unjust freight rates that affect
81 states for the benefit of IL states.
Montana is one of the affected
states as well as Arkansas. Here is
how this freight-rate worked.
A man in the central part of Ar
kansas bought some farm implements
from a factory in Indiana. When the
implements arrived at his station he
found he had made mistake He
wrote to the factory and asked them
to let him ship these implements back
and exchange for what he wanted in
exchange. The company told him to
prepay the freight and ship them back.
He changed the tags and when he
went to prepay the freight back he
had to pay rs per cent more freight
to return these implements than he
did to receive them.
Now had this been in Montana a
farmer or merchant would have had
to pay II per cent more to ship out
of Montana than to receive it from
any one of the favored II states.
Now your Senator Wheeler is chair
man of the Interstate Commerce COM
mittee of the senate. There are 81
members on this committee and IL
of them are from affected states and
nine from the favored states.
What, If Anything Is %. X Doing?
The point is = what is Senator
Wheeler doing to correct this discrim-
ination which affect every interest in
Montana and 80 other states.
1t looks like 81 senators which is |
a majority over the remaining "a
should be able to pass some laws to
correct this discrimination.
To an old country boy it looks like
our Dear Senators are representing
the railroads and not the people who
vote for and elect them to office?
I personally in my humble way in
tend to vote against every man now
in office in Arkansas who fail to get
INTO action and try to amend or get
amended these laws which have put
his discrimination upon us.
In this way | ask the good people
If Montana to get into action and
make demands upon their respective
and congressman to do some
hing now, or let these men know
you will vote for new men who will
pledge their faith to do something on
his question?
What will you say and do? Yours
M. QUARLES, Helena,

FIRST-PAGE SENATOR WHEELER--HIS
COORDINATION WITH ACM PERFECT

Indirectly but only slightly so, this
securing of Mexicans and war prison
ers is a subtle yet effective form of
scabbery, not to be overlooked by the
workers of Butte and Montana in this
year of decision at the ballot box.
We do not recommend it to our
readers as an example to be followed,
but we point out that the coordination
between the senior senator and the
company's perversion of newspapers
is something approaching 100 per cent
in harmony, solidarity and unity.
They sneeze in unison, and the high
note is TO HE'LL WITH THE

Apparently seeking authentic in
formation about persistent rumors
that some aspects of administrative
affairs at Flathead County High
School could stand some Qualification
an unusually large group of interest
ed citizens attended the regular meet
ing of the board of trustees on Monday
evening, May 10, at the courthouse in
Kalispell
The group of visitors represented a
cross-section of the people about the
county, farmers from several sections
being in attendance, as well as work
ers, housewives, business and profess
sional people.
Discussion during the meeting
brought out the fact that a number of
those present were parents of children
in schools being administered by R.
H. Violin, who jointly occupies the
position of general superintendent
over the county high school and the
several elementary schools in Kalis-
pell District No. 5.
The most obvious reason for the es
timated attendance of 25 or 80 visitors
was an interest in the reported resig-
nations of number of the high school
teachers and the reasons for such res
ignations.
Several Teachers Resign
There was some general discussion
on the merits of individual cases on
the basis of apparent understanding
between the individual concerned and
Superintendent Violin as to salary
and other contract provisions offered,
and in some cases agreed to- However,

Gated a considerable variance of inter
probation as to the plans of the super

duties of the teachers for the coming

desire to avoid future difficulties was
obvious in several of the letters of
resignation as read.
In the opinion of some of the visit
ors, closely observing the proceedings,
a deliberate effort was made to avoid
the reading of a certain letter which
was recently sent to all board mem
bers by the high school local of the
Montana Education association. There
was some insistence from the audi

Miles City Star.
Gentlemen: In your anti-MVA prop
uganda in a recent issue of the Mile.
City Star you speak as though the
farmers in this irrigated territory
have an unusual amount of initiative
The average farmer isn't the lazy type
of person or he would hardly try tt
make his living by farming in the frs
place. I have observed that all ambi
tious people will have more initia
tive if the conditions affecting theil
particular type of work seem to give
them a little better chance to accom-
plish what they set out to do. If this
irrigated area here gives people more
initiative, because one of the many
hazards of farming has been eliminat
ed to some extent, then why wouldn't
more and better irrigated projects
create still more initiative, such as we
would get under an MVA? You make
it sound as though we would all lose
our incentive to work under a Mis-.

done to develop our great Northwest,
to open new land for irrigation, to
control floods and to create more and
cheaper electrical energy for all I'M
der an overall, united and co-ordi-
mated Missouri Valley Authority.
If you had shown two full pages of

ley here, when many fine homes had
from few feet to eight or ten feet
of water in them, and thousands of
dollars of feed, livestock and furni-
ture were destroyed and how one more
hazard of farming could also have
been eliminated by an MVA, you would
be doing more for the welfare of your
country
If we really have a government Of

we will have our MVA developing,

I also plan to spray the walls in
the basement and recreation room
with the same type of paint and
would like to do the walls there
in yellow. Would like to paint
the floor with some sort of enamel
Can some one suggest what should
be used to cover an ordinary con-

once before by former owners but
most of the paint is gone. Also
can some one please tell me what
sort of cleaner to use to remove
spots of grease before painting the

I am afraid it will come right
