Long Beachj x ‘ DOUGHTON^^AMPION TRADER IN CONGRESS Washington, Aug. 19.—Sturdy Representative Robert L. Dough- ton of North Carolina, is winding up his 26th year in congress, re putedly the best compromiser In its halls—for the tax views of Bob Doughton. “Farmer Bob” started trading horses and mules more than half a century ago, but now he is en gaged in even more expert trad ing in behalf of the house. Chair man of the ways and means com mittee that decides where the government’s money Is coming from, he does his big Job with the simplicity of his native hills. Sometimes, he leaves the floor to hold negotiations by telephone for the sale of another batch of horses and mules in North Caro lina, and there is no record of a loss for Bob Doughton in these transactions. His last congressional victory was a “compromise” on the seqpte and house bills on social security. The senate wanted an n^ency un der the labor department to .ad minister the new program and a provision exempting private com panies with pension plans already in operation from tax features of the new measure. Doughton want ed neither. The “compromise” measure carried neither, although there was a section for an inquiry into the private tPen^ion situa tion. Again, “Farmer Bob’s” own committee was standing about three to one against the graduated corporation income tax feature in the big tax bill. Doughton want ed—as the administration recom mended—a six per cent gradua tion on net incomes. And al though he got from the horse a one-per cent graduation, and not six, he got the principal recogniz ed. Summing it up, colleagues say that every bill reaching the floor from the North Carolinian’s com mittee this session has gone tjini without a single amendment to which he diJ' not agree. Bald and blunc, he is called ‘the Iron .Man of Congress,” beca.jise he usually is at work at 6:30 a. m., in a city where 10 a. m. is not late. Some months ago he renounced ambition to become governor of North Carolina, end Washington definitely understood that the administration had ap pealed to him to stay here. He plugs away at one of the hardest jobs In congress with about the same vigor that he oiice displayed when, 75 miles from home, he walked back , carrying his saddle and blanket across his shoulder. in two courses. • ‘ Soliqrlote MMikotfon" i doctors «y. 1 sdist adminstered in da owdicaboii in one drink. amrthing moi* ef- tar 'tfesilr^* Muscular, Pains, we ' you paid for Miss .Joby Turner Hostess At Watermelon Feast With Misd Toby Turner as hos tess the members of the Ameri can Legion and the Legion Auxil iary, with a number of other guests, enjoyed a delightful eve ning together Friday at the Le gion clubhouse at a watermelon feast.

Such data is essential to the preparation of sound land use programs and in making recom mendations regrarding crop and livestock production,; said C. B. Williams, head of fhe agronomy department of the fj". C. agricul tural experiment station. With ‘the information gathered, the agronomy departmltet has made ’maps .'lowing, the various soil types in the state, their loca tion, . characteristics, and adap tations to different crops. The department has also shown What varieties of the different crops are best suited t® different dolls and what fertilizqrq-,should •be applied to g^ve the 'liest re sults. “By enabling the fanners to determine which crops are best adapted to their land,” Professor Williams pointedv. out, “we aje trying to’ help " them secure The most profitable returns from their farming operations.” The work of surveying the state has been under way since 1902, with the experimetit station, the state department of agriculture, and the U. S. department of agri culture co-opetuting in the iproj- ect. So far,'86 per cent of the land in the state has been cov ered.

Appropriation of $75,000,000 Asked T 0 Start Age Pensions and bunvance Washington, Aug. 18.—^An ap propriation of $76,000,000 to start the giant economic security pro gram was recommended today by the Budget bureau. The money would be expended in the next 10 months. 'The sum aproved by the bureau in a mes sage to the House appropriations committee is nearly 26 per cent less than the $98,491,000 author ized for expenditure this year in the security law sig:ned by. Presi dent Roosevelt last week. The orginial estimate was for the fiscal year ending next July 1, but a quarter of that year will have passed before the act be comes operative. Congress is ex pected to vote the funds before adjournment. Could Meet Deficiency It was said that any deficiency the still-unappointed economic se curity board may run up could be met by an appropriation when Congress reassembles next Janu ary. Officials close to the cabinet committee stressed, however, that even more than $98,000,000 may be required before July 1, if the relief administration’s plan to re move unemployables from relief rolls is carried out this winter. This program, they said, would add to State old-age rolls and thus to the amount of Federal grants to the States for old-age pensioners. The amounts originally asked for the next 10 months: Old-age assistanc; (for grants to States), $49,750,000. Unemployment insurance (for State administration), $4,000,000., Aid to dependent children, $24,- 750.000. Maternal and child health, $3.- 800.000. Crippled children, $2,850,000. Child welfare, $1,500,000. Vocational rehabilitation, $841,- 000. 1 1 Public health, $8,000,000. | Aid to the blind, $3,000,000. j Administration of these funds j and research work by the new so- | cial security board (not included in $98,491,000 total) $4,127,000. New Break-Down Not Revealed , Where the Budget bureau! trimmed was not immediately | available. | ’These phases of the big pro gram are to start this year. Some | of the money will be spent di rectly by the Federal government. Some will be given to the States. The major parts of the pro gram, however—compulsory old- age pensions and unemployment insurance—do not start until next year. Old-Age System Old-age pensions: ^ ^Starting immediately, the Fed eral government will contribute flp, to $15 a month per person to I match grants of 35 States which now have old-age pension plans. A compulsory, self-sustaining system, designed eventually to re place the Federal-State grants, will start December 31, 1936. After that date, nearly all em ployes making less than $3,000 a year with the exception of do mestic and agricultural Iqbor, will pay a gradually increasing tax on their pay. ’This will start «t one per cent in 1937. After 1948: it will be three per cent. Employers will contribute a tax of the same amount. The Federal government will keep this xs^oaej for the States, which will admin ister payments. At the age of 65, the employe will start receiving a pension. If he made an average of $106'’ ’a month for 4() years before he re tired at 66,' he would gfct, a. monthly pension of $51.26 uKtil he died. The maximum mohthlj^ benefit would be $86, the mini mum $10. If the pensioner died before he receiv^ as much as he had paid, in, his estate 'would get the hid- ance with, interest. If the em- plogi^e died befoic he reached the' age,.estate would re-' thk aminill^^Juid paid ha, with interest. No benefits are to be paid until January, 1942. Unemployment System Unemployment insurance: Employers' of eight or more persons are to pay a federal pay roll tax starting next January 1 (one per cent n^i:t year, two per cent in 1937. and three per cent thereafter), with a 90-per cent credit for all contributions to State unemployment insurance funds. Only five States—^Wisconsin. New York, Washington, Utah, and New Hampshire—now have unemployment insurance systems, but others are,expected to adopt them during the coming year. The nature of the State plans varies. New York benefits, for example, are to range from $5 to $16 a week and to run for not more than 16 weeks. The 10 per cent of the tax the Federal government retains is to be spent in helping the States ad minister their plans. The social security act called, for a $49,000,- 000 annual appropriation for this purpose each year after this year.

Possibility of a drive for con stitutional reform had occasioned renewed political speculation in view of former President Hoover’s demand that the administration reveal before adjournment “what changies” it proposes in that charter. The White House sees no need to comply, it was said at the Capi tol, inasmuch as present plans call for support of no amendments other than the long-pending one to ban child labor and that pro posed to forbid tax exempt se curities. Some answer to Mr. Hoover is expected on the forth coming presidential trip across the country, however. It can be said now that, regard less of vehement opposition to Rooaewrit coafidanti-lotA to 1dm to carry into the alectian ih* aaoa for federal jnriadictim overt-na* tional BO«ual and economic prob- jema.
