THE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER THE 24TH, 1937
Social Security Adms.
Holds Regional Meet
Several dozen administrators of
the unemployment compensation
feature of the social security pro
gram, together with representa
tives of the board and other high
officials from Washington, met at
the Sir Walter Hotel last Friday
and Saturday to discuss some of
the problems confronting them.
Among the speakers was Ralph
L. Steele, certified public account
ant of Raleigh, who has made a
study of federal taxing laws, and
who spoke plainly of some of the
shortcomings of the present law.
Rather, his criticism was of the
“long-comings’’ of the law, in its
requqirement for too many and
too complicated reports, too dras
tic penalties for failure to comply
with minor requirements of the
law, etc. Mr. Steele warned his
hearers that unless steps were tak
en to simplify and popularize the
law there is trouble ahead for its
enforcement.
Attending the conference were
administrators from West Virginia,
Maryland, District of Columbia,
Virginia and North Carolina. They
were not little fellows in the set
up, but were the head men. At
tending also were half a dozen
or more high government officials,
who listened with keen interest
and later privately commended
Mr. Steele’s criticism of the act.
The local man intimated that the
principles of the act are very good,
its purpose fine; but in the re
quirement of both state and fed
eral laws for so many complicated
reports, provisions for extreme
penalties, and confusion of the
public as to just what can be ex
pected in return b< fits, lies dan

ABOUT INCOMES
Business Week has compiled an
interesting survey showing what
employed wage earners’ families
earn and how they spend it.
Highest wage is on the Pacific
Coast, where data compiled for
Seatttle show's that the chief wage
earner of the average family takes
in $1,508 a year. The average
w r orkers per family is 1.18, and
gross income is $1,604.
A greater gross income is shown
for New York —$1,743 —but this is
due to a larger average number of
workers per family, 1.62 and the
chief wage earner receives but
$1,357.
Lowest gross income is found
among Birmingham Negroes, SBO6
per year.
Major expenditure, food, averag
ing around 35 per cent, with hous
ing second.
Definite demonstrations of three
acres each are being placed on Ber
tie County farms using crimson
clover, vetch and Austrian peas.
