! PAYROLL TAX STARTS ~
| JANUARY FIRST
I Southern manufacturers and em
ployees alike are advised by the
Southern States Industrial council to
prepare now to adjust their budgets
to meet requirements of the payroll
tax which,under the national Social
| Security Act, goes into effect Jan
uary 1st.
| Under the tax one per cent of the
j Wages of each employee and officer
' will be deducted during the years
11937, 1938 and 1839. The percent
age will gradually be increased
to 3 per cent by 1949. The employ
or is required to pay an equal per
centage based upon his total pay
roll, thus matching the tax paid by
employees.
The fund thus collected is for pay
ment of old age benefits to qualified
1 persons, beginning in 1942. These
benefits, it was pointed out by the
council, range from $10 to $85 per
month, depending upon the total
learnings of the individual between
1937 and the time he reaches the age
of 65 years. No person who is now
of that age, or will be 65 years old
before January 1, 1942, will be equal
ified for the old age pension.
It has occurred to us” said Presi
dent John E. Edgerton of the coun
cil/ that it is not too early for em
ployes, as well as employers, to be
gin adjusting their budgets and fi
nancial schedcles next year in this
| new item of cost imposed by law.”

a premium, Pt we are to judge by
the number of cent on the streets
about everybody that comes to San

Every enterprise ih the town seems
to be operating on full time some
