The National Outlook
Extension of Unemployment Compensation
| By Ralph Robey
Again we are in the process
of extending unemployment com
pensation. This was at the top
of the list of President Kenne
dy’s anti-recession proposals, and
h will be the first one enact
ed. But the bill has been sig
nificantly changed from that
recommended by the President.
As suggested by the President
the period of unemployment pay
ments should be extended by 13
weeks up to a maximum of 39
weeks. Some states now pro
vide for 26 weeks, some less, and
a few for a longer period. The
goal is to get all states to in
crease the period to 39 weeks
during the present period of
high unemployment, but there
is no actual requirement of this.
This part of the President’s rec
ommendation has been accepted.
Such payments, according to
the President, were to be taken;
from the general funds of the
Treasury and would be replaced
by increasing the base upon
which the unemployment tax is
calculated from $3,000 to $4,800.
The Ways and Means Commit
tee refused to accept this and
proposed instead that the tax be
increased for 1962 and 1963, and
that is what the House has ap
proved. This is the significant
change made in the Kennedy
proposal.
Arguments made before the
Ways and Means Committee
were impressive and sound. To
have lifted the base upon which
the tax is calculated would have
meant a permanent increase in
the burden of this tax. In ad
dition about half of the states
would have required legislation
before they could participate,
and such a rise in the base
would upset the experience rat
ing tax schedules in all states.
The official estimate of the
cost of this program is $1 billion.
The tax upon business for 1962
and 1963 will be 3% percent on
each covered worker's first $3,-
000 of wages. And since the ex
tension of the payments cost the
states nothing, it must be as
sumed that all of them will par
ticipate.
It will be recalled that Presi
dent Eisenhower also put through
an extension of unemployment
compensation in the last reces
sion. But there was a vast dif
ference between that and the
one now being enacted. Under

i the Eisenhower plan a state
■ could borrow money from the
i federal government for extend
■ ing subh payments. This meant
l that the states were under an
• obligation to pay back the loan.
Since most of the states ! are
; hard pressed for funds to meet
. their other outlays, few of them
; were interested in such loans,
j and the unemployed got rela- j
! tively little additional help. It)
.should also be added that the|
| program granting the states re- j
j pay the loans, cost the federal:
i government nothing.
It is most unfortunate, of
| course, that there should be oc
casion for lengthening the pe
riod of unemployment compen
; sation payments. But we have
j serious unemployment in this
! nation today, and many of those
out of work are in bad straits.
| Giving these hard-pressed per
sons additional unemployment
compensation payments will be
of help to them, but it will not
solve their basic problem. The
only real solution is to find them
jobs—not necessarily the same
kind of jobs they had before,
but at least work which will
give them an income upon which
they may live.
The Kennedy Administration
claims that it is primarily inter
; ested in creating these addition
, al jobs. By and large, however,
about all it has had to offer in
, this direction is increased gov
ernment spending, and that is
not the fundamental answer.
The real solution is to be
found through increased capital
investment. To have that we
must get tax rate reform and
more incentive for savings and
risk taking.

Farm Facts
The U. S. farmer is the
world's most efficient farmer.
Because of this we are the
best fed and best clothed peo
ple in the world and the most
inexpensively in the propor
tion of our incomes it takes
to obtain these items.
Research and its adaptation
to fanning have brought
about a virtual agricultural
revolution in this country in
recent years.
A U. S. farmer produces
enough to feed himself and 23
others. Only a few years ago
he produced only enough to
feed himself and seven others.
In Russia a farmer pro
duces only enough to feed
himself and one other. It was
not by accident that Khrush
chev visited an lowa farm
when he came to the United
States. He knows that farm
productivity is one of Amer
ica’s greatest sources of
strength. He realizes, too, that
as long as it takes one Rus
sian on the farm to feed one
worker in industry, Soviet
progress is greatly handi
capped.

farmers have Improved their
