In conclusion, Youmans called
attention to provision in the

fore September /, 1850, without
having acquired enough cover

for survivors benefits before, +"
Youmans said, "the new law
may make it possible for you
to get payments, If the deceased
breadwinner in your family had
at least l12 years of covered
work between January 1899 and
September, 1850, you should con-
tact the nearest social security
office and inquire about your
survivors insurance benefit
rights"
"It is especially significant, +"
Youmans said, that these 1854
amendments to the social sec
urity law preserve the contribu-
tory and self-sustaining prin-
ciples of the old-age and sur
vivors insurance system, as well
as the principle that benefits are
related to the level of the work.

Unemployment Compensation
Trust Fund, which is supported
wholly by contributions from
Ohio employers of three or more
workers whose payrolls are tax
ed at rates ranging from / to
2.7 per cent. On June 30 of this
year, there was some 640,000,-
600 in the Compensation Fund.
Under the law, the only way
this money can be used is for
the payment of benefits to those
who have the right to receive
them.
The question then arises:
Where does the BUG get its
money to pay such necessary ex-
penses as salaries, rents, equip
ment, supplies, etc? These ad-
ministrative costs lie wholly
within a second area of financ.
ing which dates back to 1887
when the Social Security Act
was passed. The Act provided
for a payroll tax to be paid into
the federal treasury by employ
ers Of eight or more workers -
not three or more - as are sub
ject under the Ohio Act. Such
employers were to pay one per
cent in 1886, two percent in 1897,
and three per cent in 1888 and
thereafter.
Under the provisions of the
Social Security Act, these en-
ployers were allowed to deduct
up to 80 cents on the dollar of
the federal tax if their respective
states adopted an unemployment
compensation law which met the
requirements of the Social
Security Act. One purpose of
this provision was to "encour-
age" the various states to enact
unemployment compensation
acts of their own. In this effort
it was eminently successful. The
other purpose was to provide
revenues for the administration
Thus it is that whatever Ohio
employers of eight or more
workers pay into the Ohio Fund,
they still pay 8 of 1 per cent to
the federal government. Today
this federal share - g per cent
- is collected under what is
known as the Federal Unem-
ployment Tax Act. These federal
collections are not specifically
earmarked by law for state en-
ployment security administra-
ton. They could be used - and
in fact have been used - for
other activities Of the federal
government.
Each year Congress appro-
PIRATES administrative funds to
the United States Department of
Labor for reallocation to state
employment security agencies
such as the Ohio Bureau Of IN
mployme mt Compensation.
Basis for this appropriation is
the federal tax of 3 per cent.
1t is interesting to note that
last year while the federal gov
ernment collected $17000,000
from Ohio employers Of eight or
more workers for BUG admins
trative expenses, only $9,4O0,000
found its way back to Ohio for
this specific purpose. Histori-
cally, Ohio, along with Illinois,
has received back the smallest
percentage of any state in the
union with respect to the money
collected under the federal tax.

that of having Negro children pay
a fee for fuel, and other supplies
provided for in the school main
tenance fund.
Cited as the most fragrant ex-
ample of the practice is Meridian
in Lauderdale County where Ne
gro citizens committee has been at
lacking the problem since 1851
with little, if any results.
In Meridian according to sworn
affidavits furnished by both par
ents and teachers Negro high
school students are required to pay
$3.50 registration fee, various
other smaller fees during the year,
sell tickets for all sorts of pro-
grams and in addition senoirs
must pay as much as $500 before
being allowed to take the final
examination in order to graduate.
In Meridian responsible sources
say that many Negro children
from the less fortunate families
have been forced out of high
school because of inability to pay
these illegal fees.
Why this widespread abuse of
