ViWlM '??>/ ?mi WAfHINGI&J ECONOMIC SECURITY Washington, Jan. 30. ? Topping ?11 other subjects now under dis suasion here, is the President's Economic Security proposal', which bas taken precedence of the veter ans' bonus and the 4 billion dollar work relief project. Those haven't tieen shelved; a bonus measure will be enacted which will meet the veterans' demands at least balf-way. And the 4 billions for l>ubllc works will be voted almost as a matter of routine, with pro bably fewer strings attached to it than had been anticipated. i)ut the big thing of the moment, which may turn out to be the biggest thing in this Administration's ca reer, when history comes to be written, is the gigantic plan for nation-wide old-age pensions un der Federal supervision, unem ployment insurance on a national scale, with a broad child-welfare and public health program tacked, on for good measure. Boiled down to essentials, the plan proposed by the President and embodied In the Wagner-Lew is bill, makes the following pro visions: tu 1. Old Age security. A pension of $30 a month for every person over the age of 05 ? that means 160 for man and wife both over (K to be paid half by the states and half by the Federal govern ment, to persons now without ade quate means of subsistence, or who may reach that ago before the old age annuity funds provid ed for in the bill have built up enough to provfde that income. An ahnual tax on payrolls to pro vide old-age retirement funds as well as to build up an unemploy ment insurance fund. Provisions whereby "self-employed" persons, such as farmers, professional men and others may make voluntary payments to the annuity fund, en titling them to receive a life pen sion when they reach 65 years. ttl 2. Unemployment Insurance. A tax on all payrolls, to be paid by employers, half of it to be deduc ted from the pay of employees, to be used to compensate employees who are laid off or otherwise un able to work, and also to build up the old age pension fund. t t t 3. Maternal Welfare and Child Health. Appropriation of $4,000, 000 a year to be UBed by the Fed eral Children's Bureau in-cooper ation with states, for mothers' pensions, welfare work generally in connection with rearing and physical care of children. tlX 4. Public Health Service. Ap propriation of $10,000,000 a year to enable this Federal Bureau to cooperate with states in improving healtli conditions. Bill Favored, But ? There is little likelihood that the bill will be Anally enacted in its present form. There is wide spread commendation of its pur poses on both sides of both hous es. Some sort of a measure, em bodying those general ideas, seems certain to be enacted at this ses sion. Among objections raised to the bill as introduced, one is that it is too complicated; that it ought to be divided into four bills, cover ing the four subjects. The princi pal objection Is that the $30 a month old-age pension isn't high enough to satisfy the advocates of the Townsend plan. The President himself, in his talk to newspaper men about it, suggested that the pension figure might be raised to $40. The influence of the advo cates of the Townsend project for $200 a month pensions for every body over 60 is amazing, espec ially in the lower House. And they want it The Wagner-Lewis bill wpjiML defer annuities granted as a blat her of right until 1942; pensions gcanted before then will be only to those who can prove that they -*are practically destitute, and until 1940 the age limit for such pen sions may be fixed at 70 years instead of 65. The big fight of the Old Age fea ture of the measure will be, then, on three fronts ? to reduce the age limit to sixty, to increase the monthly pension to much more i than $30, and to make it include both husband and wife, and to provide for payments to everybody V of the required aged without ma king it necesssjry for them to de clare themselves paupers. States Must Cooperate One important feature of the bill is that It calls for Cooperation by the states, specifying the kind of old-age pension systems which states must set up If their citizens are to benefit under the Economic Security Act, which is the official title of the measure. Twenty-eight states now have 'Sid-age pension laws, vttrylng greatly in detail and amount of pensions paid. The average is $19.34 a month, the highest, Iowa, $30 a month. Nearly 115,000 old people received ovep.,26 million dollars in 19S3 under tbqse state systems. Now states , which want to participate must reform their old-age plans if they want Feder al aid, and as nearly all legisla tures meet this year, it is expect ed that most of them will come In speedily.

Last year, on Au gust 1, the Railroad Retirement: Act went into effgct, providing compulsory retirement of all rail road workers at 65. or after 30 years service, with pensions, out of funds contributed by the roads and the workers, up to as high as $120' a month. Bu( (he Supreme Court of the United States declar ed this Act unconstitutional on October 24. It is no secret that one of the competing motives for the pres sure behind the bill? the heaviest pressure the President has yet seen fit to exert upon Congress ? Is the desire to take the wind out of the sails of Senator Huey Long and his redistribution of wealth program, as well as to head oft' the me'na"ce"oT nie"'gTeat""ITrasrT7t votes behind the Townsend_ Plan EPSOM SCHOOL NEWS Published by Vupilit of Epsom High School The O'Henry Literary Society1 held its regular meeting Jaftuarv 4th, 1935 and the following offl-: cers were elected for the year: President, Edwin Pernell; Vice-1 President, Blanche Weldon; Sec-| retary and Treasurer, Mason Ro berson; Asst.

LEGISLATURE Weekly Happenings In North Carolina General Assembly lty M. Ii. SHII'MAN Raleigh, Jan. 28. ? Buttle lines! Are rapidly forming in the Legis-i iature. The joint linunce commit tee of the two houses adopted re commendations of the Administra-j tion for removing exemptions in sales taxes on staple foods such as flour, meat, meal and milk, ! which it is estimated will add from one to two millions dollars1 annually to the State revenue, but this was only the beginning of; the battle. The North Carolina Fair Tax Association' was heard I the following day in a' vigorous denunciation of the sales tax. The North Carolina Retail Merchants*! Association hasn't been heard yet. ttt The big argument in favor 6f the. sales tax is that it produces! revenue in large amcuwu** The revenue for the month of Janu ary will be close to a million dol lars. Four and one-half million dollars has been collected since; last July. The argument against {t is that it is a tax upon the rich and the poor alike, that it rests . more heavily upon the poor than upon the rich. Another one is that1 it drives business from the Stale as there is no tax on interstate sales,, and none can be levied by the State. t t t Another- battle is in the offing on the question of the ratification -of an amendment to the Federal Constitution that would permit Congress to make child labor un Hj VI fill Thr ffiinr<>ni^ Court rul ed that Congress did not bAVI lUvl power.' President Roosevelt has outlawed child labor through the simple expedient of setting up! business codes by which- business enterprises by their own agree ment" outlaw child labor. The child labor amendment was sub mittel tetf "years ago, but only a half dozen states had ratified it1 prior (o the Roosevelt Administra tion. Now it has become a live is sue again, with the American Le gion backing it, and a lively fight is expected in the North Carolina General Assembly. ttt While it appears certain that the Legislature will reduce auto-' mobile license taxes, there will be a battle over the amount of re-: duct ion. Senator Browning, of Swain, wants to make th$ reidu&i tion 45 per cent or 30 cents a hun dredweight instead of 65 cents with a minimum oi five dollars a car. Senator Csfrr, of Duplin, | would make the reduction 40 per pent. Reduced automobile taxes was an issue TH the campaigns of( a number of members of the Leg-; islature. It is a live issue in the Legislature. 1 1 t There is a general sentiment In the Legislature for licensing of automobile drivers, but in order to make it effective it will be nec essary to increase the number of highway patrolmen, and It will al so be necessary to set up machin-i ery for examination of drivers. While the cost can be taken care of with a license fee, it is difficult-! to frartiet,?ir"a?t. that will not be come merely the means "of raising revenue. That has been the case in many cities, the issuing of .drivers' licenses becoming .merely a for mality. " tit With nearly a thousand fatali ties from automobile wrecks and accidehts on the highways during the past year, or more than three a day, it has hecome imperative to make safety measures effective,, and Senators Burrus, of Guilford, and Teague, of Wayne, propose as one means, that every automobile owner shall carry a .bond for a thousand dollars to make him fi nancially responsible for damages. This has been , tried out in some states with good results. The idea is that it would keep reckless dri vers off the highways, as they would be unable to get Insurance, or legal .bonds. Here again comes up the question of adequate pa trolling of the highways'. t t t The Legislature got away to ^ hurried start with the passage of many local bills by a suspension , of rules. Seasoned Jegislators have , learned that such a procedure is, an instance of the fact that "haste makes waste," for in many cases it becomes necessary to reconsider such bills and this takes longer than it would take If the bills were referred to committees for lnspec-j tlon by uninterested members in the first place. In that case mis-j takes are usually caught before the bills are placed upon their j passage. Former Speaker Harris,] of Person, called attention to this j fact in a speech to the House, and a halt was made. The commit tees now have more work to do, and they are meeting frequently. \ ? til While the jQint finance Commit ted of the two bouses is making a record in getting down to work, the Joint appropriations commit tee Is likewise waking a record in hearing appeals of the various State institutions for mor & funds. Formerly it w&s the custom tot sub-committees to hold these hearings , but all this has been changed since the budget bureau was established, ftow both com mittees ? the finance and the ap propriates ? are provided at the beginning of the session with ten tative revenue and appropriations bills, so that they have something Salvador Beauty Wins> PANAMA . Senorita Enriqueta Araujo (above), of Salvador, has been crowned beauty queen of Cen tral America for 4935, All Central American States were represented. i to begin with. ttt ? Taking his cue from the Roose velt administration that Federal office-holders must resign party positions, Senator Allsbrook has introduced a bill requiring party chairmen to resign before running for office. They would be permit ted to run, if they resigned their party positions before the begin ning of the year in which they TtjiF for office, The idea is to pre vent their having an unfair ad-; vantage through the control of party machinery. 1 1 1 With comparatively young men incharge of the important com mittees of both houses; there is much speculation as to how the leadership -will siaotr tfp as com pared with that of previous ses sion*. -8J???k?c-iUll^ux_^i^adi? John- j son is an experienced legislatofd and he knows how to keep an or ganization running smoothly. The committee chairmen are likewise experienced legislators, but they have not heretofore held chair manships. They have started out with vigor, and there is plenty of evidence that they mean to push things along. So far there has been a general disposition to go along with the Administration. t t t With the expectation that the sales tax will be continued, there Is already evidence that there will be a fight to Increase taxes on- cor porations that have had their tax es lightened through abolition of ad valorem taxes by the State. Improvements In Chevrolets Improved commercial car mod els haying more power, higher tor-( que or pulling ability, greatly in--j creased braking efficiency, and numerous improvements in engine and chassis* have been announced by the Chevrolet Motor Company. tn addition to the -ton trucks of It 12-inch wheelbase and the 1 % - ton trucks of either 131rinch or 157-inch wheelbase, Chevrolet this year features a new unit, the Standard sedan delivery, intended for the fast dispatch of light mer chandise. A wide variety of fac tory-built bod tea, designed to meet the special requirements of different industries and trades^ isi available. Prices remain at the low levels established last year, when Chevrolet led the industry in truck registrations. The chassis prices, according to the Chevrolet annpuhc<?ment, are the lowest in the world. The Chevrolet models for 193$ , iretaiYi the general .characteristics of the previous line in layout and design; mechanically, however, they incorporate many refinements and added features. Changes in the engines include' improved spark advance control, heavier crankshaft with improved qounterweighting and harmonic balancer, selective balancing of rotating parts, high pressure oil stream lubrication to connecting rod bearings, increased oil pump! capacity, elecfro-platfed pistons, j greater welter pump capacity, and1 improved cylinder-head tempera-, ture distribution:' Brakes and braking have been greatly increased in efficiency and ease? of operation, now possessing siifch features as lighter ^ pedal pressure, higher coefficient of fric tion in the lining, * limited articu- i lation of brake shoes, and increas ed life of linings.

Salesmen from all parts 'of the I territory are sent in < by their em- | ployers to become thoroughly fa miliar with tne produce they sell and with the most recent develop ments in the automotive industry in order that they, in turn, might be better able to help the public understand how these new devel opments meet the needs of the day. A series of very interesting 1 slide films has been prepared for the sales training course. These films, with their accompanying sound records, present a vivid and graphic* picture of every ph^se of the manufacture of the Ford au tomobile. Salesmen are thus en abled to see the manufacturing | processes aird operations .that on ly a trip to the plant at Dearborn would overwise give them. Not only are there films explaining the engineering features, manu facture and servicing of the car but there are also films explain ing the selling and advertising phases of the 1935 Ford program which are extremely important. Mr. A. W. Dodge is in charge of the salc^ training course. Sales men come into Norfolk from as far south as. Wilmington, N. C., as far west as Grayson County, Va., and as far north as the "eastern | sliore"^of Virginia. " The course covers two days and I there are two classes a week. An | average of forty salesmen corn ?pr ft***. aac II _c las s . As there are some 450 salesmen Tit Branch territory, all of whom will receive this sales training course! the bringing In. of these men to | Norfolk fbr two days and at least one night, means something to the | businessmen of Norfolk.
