ANOTHER PAYROLL TAX

The proposal that an additional payroll tax be imposed on
the incomes of this country to start building a fund for ma
tional, compulsory insurance, poses a number of important
questions.
The initial tax would be set at one per cent of individual
income up to $4,000 per year. That is admittedly insufficient,
and would have to be increased to at least a per cent and per-
haps more. This levy, coming on top of all the other payroll
deductions for income tax and social security, would be a
heavy burden on families which are having a tough time max
ing both ends meet now. 1t would largely offset whatever in
come tax reductions are now in sight.
Going further, is there any real need for compulsory health
insurance? The fact that something like &c, 100000 people now
have low-cost, voluntary protection, and that the membership
in the Blue Cross and other plans is rapidly growing, certainly
indicates that the answer is negative-and that the wage earn
ers of the country are perfectly able to solve medical care
problems for themselves without creating another paternaistic|
bureau with a legion of tax-eating employees.
Last, despite the denials, the verdict of history is that
compulsory health insurance is just a prelude to the eventual
Specialization of medicine and related services. Bureaucratic
government never goes halfway-it operates on the all or none
policy. And political medicine is always inferior.

Sheriff Warns Of

iff's office to apprehend the indi-
vidual should he visit their estab-
lishments. Blank forms at tele-
phones are provided for making
notes of descriptions.
A p~ost-dated check is not a check;
it is more like a note.
Payroll checks should be exam
ined carefully, for they may have
been found or stolen.
Those offering checks for cashing
should be required to properly iden-
tify themselves. Do not accept So
cial security cards, drivers licenses,
discharge papers or sales slips as
dentifications-they may be phonies.
If the business man feels he must
cash the check, he should require the
person offering it to give him good
prints of his eight fingers and two
thumbs. If the fellow is shady he
will not give the prints.
It's best to take time to investi-
gate, the sheriff advised.

ators paid fines with fraudulently
