Security Taxes VIII
Rise By Jan. 1st
Continued frua niss pagal

The House-passed bill, which a
Senate committee is to take up in
January, would apply the 1h per
cent levy to earning up to $4,000,
thus upping the combined contribu-
tiOn Of employer and worker at
that level another SIS.
The higher levy to go into effect
automatically on Jan. 1 results
from legislation passed in 1948 by
the 80th Congress.
The extra money won't help the
government pay its own bills or
balance its budget. The reason is
that taxes paid for in social insur-
ance and money spent on benefit
payments are not counted in the
budget bookkeeping.
The governments insurance in
take and output is recorded in an
other set of books as a "trust
fund.-" with the government holding
the money in trust for those who
paid it in, until they're eligible for
benefits.
If passed as approved by the
House, benefits for a worker entitl-
ed to the present maximum retire,
ment amount would be lifted from
$45.20 to S64 month, and the nlx-
imum for his family from $85 Il
$3.50 a month.
