Roosevelt Security Plan
Holds Capital Spotlight
WASHINGTON, Jan. (Spec
ialTopping all other subjects now
under discussion here, is the Presi
dent's Economic Security proposal,
which has taken precedence of the
veterans' bonus and the 4 billion
dollar work relief project. Those
haven't been shelved; a bonus
measure will be enacted which will
meet the veterans' demands at least
half-way. And the 4 billions for
public works will be voted almost
as a matter of routine, with prob
ably fewer strings attached to it
than had been anticipated. But
the big thing of the moment, which
may turn out to be the biggest
thing in this Administratioh's ca
reer, when history comes to be
written, is the gigantic plan for nation-wide
old-age pensions under
Federal supervision, unemployment
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-Lewis bill,
makes the following provisions:
1. Old Age security. A pension
of $30 a month for every person
over the age of 65 that means $60
for man and wife both over 65 to
be paid half by the states and half
by the Federal government, to per
sons now without adequate means
of subsistence, or who may reach
that age before the old age annuity
funds provided for in the bill have
built up enough to provide that in
come. An annual tax on payrolls
to provide old-age retirement funds
as well as to build up an unemploy
ment insurance fund. Provisions
whereby "self-employed" persons,
such as fanners, 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.
2. Unemnlovment Insurance. A
tax on all payrolls, to be paid by
employers, half of it to be deducted
from the pay of employees, to be
used to compensate employees who
are laid off or otherwise unable to
work, and also to build up the old
aee pension fund.
3. Maternal Welfare and Child
Health.. Appropriation of $4,000,000
a year to be used by the Federal
Children's Bureau in cooperation
with states, for mothers' pensions,
welfare work generally in connec
tion with rearing and physical care
of children.
4. Public Health Service. Appro
priation of $10,000,000 a year to en
able this Federal Bureau to co
operate with states in improving
health conditions.
Bill Favored, But
There is little likelihood that the
bill will be finally enacted in its
present form. There is wide-spread
commendation of its purposes on
both sides of both houses. Some
sort of a measure, embodying those
general ideas, seems certain to be
enacted at this session.
Among objections raised to the
bill as introduced, one is that it is
too complicated ; that it ought to be
divided into four bills, covering the
four subjects. The principal objec
tion is that the $30 a month old
age pension isn't high enough to
satisfy the advocates of the Town
send plan. The President himself
in his talk to newspaper .men about
it, suggested that the pension figure
might be raised to $40. The influ
ence of the advocates of the Town
send project for $200 a month pen
sions for everybody over 60 is
amazing, especially in the lower
House. And they want it now.
The Wagner-Lewis bill would de
fer annuities granted as a matter
of right until 1942; pensions grant
ed before then will be only to
those who can prove that they are
practically destitute, and until 1940
the age limit for such pensions 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 than
$30, and to make it' include both
husband and wife, and to provide
for payments to everybody of the
required age without making it
necessary for them to declare them
selves 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 old
age pension laws, varying greatly
in detail and amount of pensions
paid. The average is $18.34 a
month, the highest, Iowa, $30 a
month. Nearly 115,000 old people
received over 26 million dollars in
1933 under these state systems.
Now states which want to partici
pate must reform their old-age
plans if they want Federal aid, and
as nearly all legislatures meet this
year, it is expected that most of
them will come in speedily.
Secoad Attempt
This is not the first old-age
pension plan under the present Ad
ministration. Last year, on August
1, the Railroad Retirement Act
went into effect, providing com
pulsory retirement of all railroad
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. But the Supreme Court
of the United States declared this
Act unconstitutional on October 24.
It is no secret that one of the
compelling motives for the pressure
behind the bill the heaviest pres
sure the President has yet seen fit
to exert upon Congress is the de
sire to take the wind out of the
sails of Senator Huey Long and his
redistribution of wealth program, as
well as to head off the menace of
the great , mass of votes behind the
Townsend Plan.

service, closed notices are issued
and the area is protected. When
the trees on an area are sufficient
ly advanced in growth, the grazing
does no harm.
Would Be Surprised
Much of the area in the Nanta
hala forest is of no value for graz
ing, especially cattle. The hogs
used to the mountains find food
most anywhere, consisting largely
of nuts, and will fatten during a
summer's grazing period. Mr. Da
dy said, "while hogs on the range
are hardly to be compared with
the rotund Berkshire and Poland
China hogs of the Middle West
corn country, those who have vis
ions of a hog in the mountains
with a back sharp enough to shave
with would be surprised. Farmers
have awakened to the better policy
of purebreds and not much is heard
now of the razor backed hog on the
Nantahala National forest."
Mr. Dady gave some figures as
to the number of stock grazed on
the forest area. In 1933 there
were 1.206 cattle. 29 horses or
mules, 636 hogs, 54 sheep, 8 goats
In 1934 the count in September
showed 1,629 cattle, 19 horses or
mules, 553 hogs, 73 sheep and 18
goats. Five years ago the record
in the supervisor s office show 203
cattle grazed during the season of
1929, 384 hogs, and 16 horses or
mules. Ten years ago the totals
were cattle 534, horses or mules 38,
sheep 222, and hogs 117. At that
time the area was 223,643 acres.
Since the net area now is 352,310.

Next week at the Franklin Meth
odist church a school of missions
will be held on Tuesday, Wednes
day and Thursday nights. "The
Methodist Mission in Japan" is the
subject to be studied.
The meetings will be held at the
church each evening at 7 :30 o'clock.
There will be two speakers each
evening with a brief devotional pe
riod between.
The schedule is as follows:
Tuesday night "The Setting of
the Mission," by Geo. J. Johnston.
Devotions led by T. W. Porter.
"The Story of the Mission," by
Mrs. C. G. Moore.
Wednesday night "Go ye and
Preach the Gospel," by Miss Rachel
Davis. Devotions led by Mrs.
Wylie Zacharv. "The Mission of
the School," by H. T. Sloan.
Thursday night "Our Mission
Personal," by Dr. W. E. Furr. De
votionsled by Miss Margaret Q
zad. "Some General Phases and
Attitudes" by Mrs. B. W. Lefler.
Japan is particularly of interest
at this time because she recently
revoked the London Naval Treaty
and there is grave danger of a
growirig bitter naval rivalry be
tween the United States and Japan.
The text to be used in this school
was written by Dr. S. H. Wain
wright, who has been a. missionary
of the Methodist church in Japan
since 1888.
Everyone is invited to attend.
Designed in sizes 14, 16, 18, 20;
32. 34, 36, 38, 40 and 42. Size 18
requires tyi yards of 35 inch mate
rial for full length, and 2J4 yards
for shorter length, and yard

TUNIC OR BLOUSE
Pattern 8391 There's chic in con
trasts this season. As clothes grow
simpler, fabrics grow more luxuri
ous. Two of this year's smartest
and most popular styles are the
tunic and the overblouse, each of
them entirely simple in design, but
rich and glittering in fabric. The
dark tunic sketched shot with met
al thread and trimmed with metal
lie belt and cuffs has a slightly
cowl neckline, draped to one side
and accented with a diamond or
metal clip. The effect is very
rich and smart and can be worn
over a skirt of plain material.
The overblouse might deceive
you at first into thinking it is
something entirely different, but
no, it is thesame pattern cut off
along the dotted line (in the pat
tern) with a bow added and cuffs
omitted.
