Will It Work? i Never before in the history of any nation has there been) s now being obtained in} such a mobilization of information a connection with the Social Security act. Data on 26 MILLION employed persons is being collected hy the governmert in order that it may c¢ out the old-age | insurance provisions of the law. Other millions, including those | already over 65 years old, employes of federal, state and local | governments, farm help, domestic servants, ca ual laborers. | ship’s crews, railroad men and employes of religious, educa- tional, philanthropic and scientific institutions, are not af- fected. | This is for old-age insurance alone. That phase of the law| pertaining to unemployment insurance must be implemented by the state before it becomes effective and must be managed by the state. The old-age feature, alone, is under the direct supervision of the federal government. | In essence, this is insurance, payable in much the same way } that private annuity insurance is pd yable but with one im-| portant exception. That is the provision that the person must | guit working before he becomes eligible to draw the pension. If he quits work at 65, then returns to work later, the pen ion | check will be held up for each month during which he receives | wages from an employment covered by the law. | In the event of death before 65 what the worker has paid | in is returned to his beneficiaries as life insurance. \ Payments will be made from an old-age reserve account in the federal treasury which, by 1980, is expected to reach the) staggering total of 47 BILLION doll Congress is to ap-| propriate annually from this fund whatever is needed to pay the pensions. In principle the idea meets with the approval of the Amcri-| can public. They are familiar with the advertisements of in-| surance compani2s and the average American is sold on the idea of insurance. To him this new government set-up looks | like much the same thing. In fact it is represented as being} almost exactly the same thing. Only time will tell whether or not this is true. Some of the attacks made on the Social Security bill in the} last election seem, in the light of the returns, to have been ill- advised. Howevet, there is no question but that political op- ponents put thei- fingers on weaknesses in the measure when they attacked those provisions whereby congress must make appropriation to the beneficiaries and the manner of handling the money. Without challenging the good faith of congress or of the government, it would seem wiser to segregate this money and make it payable when due. regardless of appropriations. The question arises of how anyone can invest as much as 47 BILLION dollars so as to draw interest, as insurance com- | pany reserves do, and at the same time keep the fund suffi-| ciently liquid to pay on demand. Particularly is this true in view of the fact that 4he demand will unquestionably be heaviest | when times are worst. As things stand the income from waye and payroll assess- ments under the Social Security act can be used to “1 the budget,” regardless of the contingent liability which st fo build up as soon as the first payment is re itutes borrowing} wrong and should be corrected, because it cons against the reserves of the people just as truly as though bonds were issued for that purpose. + The prinviple of Social Security seems to have been estab- lished.

This was done without reducing the number of persons employed and without any appreciable reduction in payrolls employment figures for 1986 being 442,000 as against 435,000 eight years previously. Payrolls for 1928 were 412,000,000 and for 1 00 less money. 39 925 they were $736,000,000. | This was done without skimping the product, for everyone knows that the 1986 models were far better from every stand- point than those which were made in 1928. How was it done? The answer ties in manufacturing improvements and the effects of competition. Motor makers are more efficient now than they were eight years ago. They have to be in order to survive. Costs other than those paid out in wages have come down and the saving has been passed on to the consumer. Even so, the motor manufacturers are making money as is evidenced by their dividenc reports, increased wages to their employes and Christmas bonuses. Paralleling this is a reduction in the cost of the highways on which motor vehicles operate. ; The best standard road for North Dakoia is the so-called oil-mx, which in many of its characteristics resembles asphalt pavement. In its construction competition and improved knowledge and efficiency have brought reductions in cost. When a contract for the last 35 between Fargo and New Salem was awarded recently by the state y department, the cost was 90 cents per ton. The total needed was and on this amount, according to Highway Commissioner W. J. the saving was about $80,000 under former prices. | organization by a | there will be consolidation of social | Most of the | to end, in a corn field, it, would please Scenes | Washington } beveccccccccccccceccocor) F, R. to Move Slowly, Cannily in Government Reorganization. Behind { the By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Nov. 20.—Instead of laying down a blueprint of govern- ment reorganization for congressional approval, President Roosevelt is more likely to ask for a delegation of power which will enable him to effect re- step-by-step method through executive orders. Roosevelt made no decision about that as yet. He has made de- cisions as to few if any of the major problems of his next administration —and that covers the vast crop of post-election rumors as to shakeup in the cabinet and the big adminis- trative agencies. The president is still tired from campaign exertions and prefers to get a good rest before applying his mind intensively to the future. He has called on individual mem- bers of his administration for sug- gestions to supplement the reports of various committees working on re- organization —the senate committee under Senator Byrd of Virginia, the House committee under Congress- man Jack Cochran of St. Louis, and the Louis Brownlow committee work- ing in cooperation with the Brook- ings Institution, * ok OK Would Avoid Congress Row Two reasons are influencing him toward filing those various reports and suggestions and pulling from nis aesk a plan of his own: First, all previous experience indi- cates that submission of a compre- hensive general reorganization plan would mean a howling dog fight right in congress as the federal machine charged on Capitol Hill to lobby at cross-purposes for preservation of | jobs and bureaucratic power. | Any such big program probably would have plenty of mistakes in the first place and by the time congress got through chewing on it, close presidential advisers believe, it prob- ably would be a horrible mess. Making one fight at a time pre- sumably would allow more careful planning and give Roosevelt a bet- ter chance of getting what he wanted. Second, the president is concerned with the desirability of improving édministration from the personnel standpoint. He may seek in some cases to build big new combinations of federal functions around certain top-notch administrators of speciai gifts rather than to create posts of great importance and then start whistling for men of sufficient caliber to operate them. He can work better along this line through the step-by-step method. * * OK Mergers Are Expected Insiders take it for granted that} welfare agencies—including WPA, the Social Security Board, CCC, and pos- sibly the Departinent of Labor—and that this will mean creation of a new ee Our Government Has Its Stork-Derby Problem, Too breerccccccccc csc ccccccc croc coco cccccs coc coor croc ccccc emer c cco cooocccocoo) © 1996, NEA, RECOGNIZING A REBEL REGIME (Minneapolis Tribune) The simultaneous recognition ac- corded the insurgent regime in Spain it has the power to protect its na- tionals and is willing to discharge its international obligations.

We are also responsible for the more altruis- tic doctrine of withholding recognition from regimes established in violation of international treaties. But since each nation will remain the judge of the governments which it chooses to recognize, action such as that taken by Italy and Germany concerns the rest of the world insofar as it reveals the nature of their foreign policy. In this respect the recognition of the Franco “government” by Germany and Italy, as well as the fact that they ere acting together on the basis of what appears to be a previous under- standing, is of considerable political importance to Europe. lost all ambition, except to travel and ee | SO THEY SAY | jive off someone else—Arthur Dean > Swift, youthful Enfield, Conn., hitch- Whenever possible, we try to put Ree cur cinema heroes in uniform, It gives them a running start with the! matinee audiences. . . .

STORIES IN STAMPS By I. S. Klein” ‘0! F Columbus headed his three small sailing ships southwestward to the Canary Islands, and then the little fleet set sail to the un- known west. For two weeks only the blue waters of the deep Ate lantic were seen. Then the ships struck an area of floating weeds, and the land-hungry sailcra thought their goal was nigh But this was nothing but that extensive “prairie” of ficeting seaweed known as the Sazgarso Sea, and so for days more Calune bus went on toward what ke bes lieved to be Cipango, or Japen.

Here we are establishing another new word in currency, and it is tiresome defining over and over again these essential new words. What are dictionar- jes for, anyway? Briefly, vite is a better state of health than nine out of ten “well” folk enjoy. The reason why so few attain or maintain vite is that they don’t know how. I'm telling ’em. One must tell ‘em not once but at least a dozen times before they will begin to listen to anything out of the cut and dried order. It has been’a hard grind, I can testify, enlightening a handful of the elect about the cri. The hidebound gink who learned away back and still be- lieves, that one takes cold from air that moves or from dampness never did sense what we were driving at. Sometimes students or ambitious office workers altempt to subsist on a limited budget and eat insufficient fresh fruit or fresh vegetables. @ con- sequence developing in the course of a season a light or latent scurvy, char- acterized by moderate anemia, irritability, mental dulness, vague aches or pains of “rheumatic” character, softness and bleeding of the gums, rapid decay of teeth or new cavity formation, tendency to show “black and blue” marks on slight injury, or inexplicable hemorrhagic spots under the skin. Perhaps the best and one of the least expensive ways to prevent such a state is the inclusion in the daily menu of two or three ounces of tomato or toma- to juice, fresh or factory canned (by vacuum process). Tomato or tomato juice contains the same amount of vitamin C as does orange juice, and much more vitamin A. In these talks on vite we are describing briefly and at random factors which make the difference between what is ordinarily called good health and the better than ordinary condition which we call vite. (That is, I hope we do—at any rate I call it vite), E Upright posture and sedentary habit or lack of daily exercise in our modern civilized life predispose to slackening of the circulation and intesti- nal stasis in most mature adults. An antidote for this is the daily rolling of somersaults. It takes only a minute to do a dozen or two first thing on ris- ing in the morning. Modern science and art have robbed dentistry of its ter- rors. The burnishing or polishing away of a minute fissure in the enamel (the incipient stage of cavity) is far more economical and satisfactory from all viewpoints than the subsequent filling of a large cavity or tedious root canal treatment.

Send ten cents coin and three-cent-stamped envelope bearing your address, for booklet “Blood and Health,” which contains full directions for preparing and taking the solution. Toothless If one has no teeth and no plates, but cuts meats and fresh vegetables in small pieces or mashes them before swallowing, will digestion be just as good as though one had his own tecth or false plates? (E. L. R.) Answer—No. Without teeth, one is certain to suffer with difficulties due to faulty digestion. It is indeed a strange niggardliness or a queer out- look which enables one to try to get along without teeth.
