The Cost OF
Social Security

WASHINGTON - What would
President Truman's social security
proposals cost? Estimates are diff
iicult, but there is in existence an
other government system that furn-
ishes some clues for rough cOmpar-
isons. 1t is the railroad retirement
system.
Railroad workers retirement and
unemployment insurance system
provide all the benefits which the
administration has proposed to eX-
tend to most of the rest of the
workers. But the proposed social
security taxes would be bargain
prices compared to what the rail-
road people pay.
The administration plan is TO
raise social security taxes from the
present one per cent of payroll to
one and one-half per cent this
July. The tax would be raised to
two per cent on January. !, 1850. AS
the tax is paid both by employer and
employe, this would make the total
i tax at each rate two, three and foul
per cent. In the railroad business
both employe and management now
pay a tax of six per cent of payroll
making total of IL per cent. II
1852, the tax will be boosted to 6A
per cent each.
The railroad men believe there
will be plenty of money to pay tn;
bills without additional taxes. They
don't expect to ask the government
for money. The government pays
them nothing now except to keel

equal to those who were not in th'

The social security plan, however
: as now proposed, looks toward
p time, in five to 10 years, when j
will be necessary either to rails
the social security taxes above tw
per cent or get subsidy. One rea
