TAXES. BENEFITS co UP

Just about every u. S. family will be af-
fected by the changes in social security taxes
and benefits for 1859. Some 12,300,000 per-
sons receiving old age, survivors or disabil-
ity checks will get seven per cent increase.
Nearly, 100000 (about which many tax
payers know nothing) are going to get more
money based on their need-though they are
not covered by social security system.
The almost 75,O00,OO0 persons paying So
cial security taxes and the businessmen and
corporations which have been required by
law to pay part of their social security taxes,
are going to have to pay mOre-rnOre than
ten per cent more, this year.
Other increases, for self-employed per-
sons, etc., will also be in effect in 1859. The
base income on which self-employed taxes
must be paid is also being hiked, from $4,000
to $4,000.
Payments to retired workers at age IS
ranged in 1853 from $50 to $1085O They
will range up to $1,000 in 1959-starting
from $33 instead of $50.
These hikes are not steep. But as the So
cial security system becomes an accepted and
"taken-for- granted device in our society,
pressure on the politicians will mount-to
lower the age at which one becomes eligible
for federal maintenance, increase the bene-
fits etc. s
The government does rot owe anyone
HVlng. lnrlIL, security Tor Ine IuIufe, ana
saving, must continue to be praised in our
great country. The federal hand-out system
is needed in many cases, and that's why we
have it. On the other hand,- we must keep
its payments at minimum, for it should
never be forgotten that the Industrious hard
worker, who might accumulate something in
life, should not be forced to pay an exorbi-
tant bill for the buns, the lazy, shiftless, or
the good-for-nothings- will always put
the pressure on the politicians for bigger and
bigger handouts.

Following is a tabulation indicat-

copper, and gold mining, fishing,
lumber-not listed-also have high

pressure to adopt automation will
be greatest. Management and labor
must become more, professional and

BABSON DISCUSSES INITIATION

Babson Park, Mass, Mar. IL. Elk
cept for intermittent periods OF
defiation, we have had a slow bul
constant imitation for as long as
statistics are available. In fact, the
reason gold and silver coins have
rough edges is so they cannot be
clipped,-so little of the Gold oil
silver cannot be stolen as hedge
against imitation.
The Initiation Craze
Just now almost everyone is ex.
cited about imitation. Of course
normal imitation will continue; but
anticipate nothing serious unless
World War III breaks out. If you
believe there will be no World War
III during the next ten years, then
forget imitation. If you do expect
such a War, the best investment is
good land which will earn its taxes
especially land bordering an ocean,
lake, or river. Buying stocks
now as hedge against initiation is
waste of money.
There has been no period in
American history when serious in
f1ation accompanied unemployment
and heavy imports Increasing Fed
era1 and personal debt is only one
cause of imitation. The main cause
is a scarcity of goods with an in
creased demand for goods. With
present foreign competition and
it's increasing supply of cheap labor
causing more domestic unemp1oy-
ment, there can be no scarcity of
goods.
AutOmatiOn Is Increasing
Union labor could cause price
imitation; but the use of automation
by our manufacturers is fast keep
ing up with labor's demands. The
use of photon by printers, of cleo
tronics by manufacturers, and of
other labor-saving devices by busi-
nessmen will partly hold down
prices. The chief companies supply
ing automation devices are Aero
quip Corp, Beckman Instruments,
Bullard Co., Cincinnati Milling Ma
chine, Cutler-Hammer, Inc, Ex-
Cello Corporation, General Preci-
sion, I. B. NJ, Sperry Rand Corp,
ACdIASy dIO lIOChCI OOI ~, Cl1O
RCA.
We cannot now lick Russia in an
economic war. In Russia all are
paid and promoted according to
their efficiency and output. Russia
has the population and the disci-
pline. To attempt to abolish labor
unions in our country would not
only mean death for any political
party advocating it, but might re-
quire a "man-on-horsebac or a
dictator like deGaulle, of France.
Hence, I advise readers not to-
depend on legislation against the
labor unionsy but to get our man
ufacturers to adopt automation and
compel our bankers to finance the
great costly changeovers.
Requirements OF Attenuation
Automation may be defined as the
automatic processing of raw or
semi-processed materials into fin
shed products. The typical manu-

THE DAYS OF MARCH

Every day has some significance, and
some history, and from time to time we
examine that history, which makes us better
informed citizens. March has many inter-
esting days.
For example, on the 9Th of March, in
1765, the Stamp Act was passed, and every
American knows what that event brought
forth. March 9Th is also the birthday ami
versary of Oliver Wendell Holmes, cele-
brated American jurist, who was born on
that day in 1841 in Boston.
The ninth is remembered as the date of
the famous battle between the Monitor and
the Merrimac, Union and Confederate iron
clad gunboats and this battle occurred in
1862. Up to that time the Merrimac had
terrified shipping, briefly, and threatened to
give the Confederacy naval supremacy.
On March 10th Albany became the capi-
tai of New York in 1897. Benjamin West
died in 1920, on this day, and the Mexican
Treaty was ratified on the 10th of March in
1848. On the 18th, we look back upon the
terrible blizzard of that same date in 1888.
The fall in that year was just short OF
twenty-one inches in many Northern areas,
and conditions were particularly bad in New
York City, where the snow was so deep that
all methods of transportation were put out
of service. The total loss of life in the east
alone was four hundred. On this day also,
the 18th, an Act to found the Navy was in
troduced in 1894, and on this day in 1914,
Torquato Tasso was born.
On the 18th, the u. S. Post Office was
established, in 1889, and on that date, as
late as 1912, Daisy Gordon, with ten other
young girls, gathered in an unused stable in
Savannah, Georgia and organized the first
patrol of Girl Guides-which later devel-
oped into the Girl Scouts.

EASTER SEALS

The opening of the 1859 Easter Seal cam
paign interests all good citizens. Helping
crippled children is one of the more reward
ing things we can do in our efforts to help
our fellow-man.
In most states a volunteer organization
enthusiastically conducts the Easter Seal
sale each year. Letters are sent out to citi-
zens in all areas, seeking the financial sup
port of citizens for this Independent, volun-
tary organization.
A number of children walk today because
of the existence of this organization and its
work in past years. We solicit the attention
of our readers to the present Easter Seal
drive and recommend that they support the
effort in behalf of crippled children if they
are financially able to do so.
