IN WASHINGTON
WHAT
IS
I TAK,NG
I PLACE
I BY
UNITED STATES SENATOR
Although this is being written
in advance of the convening of
.Congress, it is already evident
that the special session will have
a very definite bearing on the
trends in business, industry and
agriculture during the months
ahead. In fact, whether the pres
ent lull will continue into 1938, or
pick-up with heavy holiday ac
tivity, may largely rest on what
the Congress does or does not do.
The result is that members of
Congress are returning to Wash
ington with a new determination
to participate in making the ses
sion run as smoothly as possible
and devote to the purposes for
which it has been called. This
opinion is shaded ,by many of my
Senatorial colleagues.
If there is one thing that stands
out in the pre-session discussions,
it is that the big job before Con
gress is to give business and in
dustry new assurance through re
lief from taxes that are proving
burdensome and at the same time
find the necessary funds to give
needed assistance to agriculture.
The word assistance is preferable
to relief. i
With hearings completed In all
parts of the country, it is not un
likely that the members of the
Senate Committee and House
Committee on Agriculture will re
port to the Congress very early in

first week. Considerable thought
Is being given to finding an ef
fective compromise between those
who -favor compulsory crop con
trol and those who favor volun
tary control. How to accomplish
either with legislation that will
be branded as constitutional is,
of course a major problem.
But the farmers have more rea
son for hope than they have had
in recent years. Their views have
been given to Congressional com
mittees direct. There will be no
delay in the character of shunt
ing farm legislation aside for less
important things.
Whether tax revision will be
thrown into the special session is
problematic. The decision on
whether to tackle the tax problem
now or at the regular session
convening in January, may de
pend a grgat deal on the progress
in drafting a farm program that
is workable. If that moves along
swiftly, the highly controversial
and important tax question may
come up.
There is much evidence that
those 'engaged in actively working
on a tax program realize that
business and industry, and in
turn agriculture, are greatly af
fected by a national hesitancy. It
is a hesitancy of business and in
dustry to expand and create more
jobs. Thus assurance that the
capital gains and undistributed
profits taxes will be modified
would undoubtedly have a stimu
lating effect on the whole coun
try. How soon it can be given is
the question of the hour.
On the whole, there is reason
to believe that every effort will
be made to unify the thought on
important subjects to the end that
the White House and the Con
gress will finally work together
with a great deal of harmony.
While business, industry and ag
riculture look first to Congress to
give the national reassurance
needed, the President will un
doubtedly attempt to make rec
ommendations that will find sym
pathetic attention in the Congress.

What's What About
SOCIAL SECURITY
As another service to its read
ers, the Tribune each week will
give authoritative answers to
questions on the Social Security
law. By special arrangement
with Mr. J. N. Freeman, manager
of the Social Security Board of
fice at 439 Nissen Building, Wins
ton-Salem, N. C., the Social Se
curity Board has consented to
pass on the accuracy of answers
to questions on Social Security,
which may be asked by employ
ers, employees, and others,
through The Tribune. Address in
quiries to The Editor, The Elkin
Tribune, Elkin, N. C. Answers
will be given here in the order in
which questions are received. This
is an informational service and is
not legal advice or service. In
keeping with Social Security
Board policy names will not be
published.—Editor.
(86) Question: Does-the Social
Security Act provide for maternal
and child welfare services?
Answer: Yes. The Act provides
for maternal and child welfare |
services. The Children's Bureau of '
the United States Department of
Labor administers these provis
ions.
(87) Q. How many States have
unemployment compensation laws
under the Social Security Act?
A. Every State has an unem
ployment compensation law ap
proved by the Social Security
Board under the provisions of the
Social Security Act.
(88) Q. Is the Social Security
Board now making payments un
der the old-age insurance pro
visions of the Social Security
Act?
A. Yes. The Social Security
Board is making lump-sum pay
ments to eligible workers, and to
the estates or relatives of deceas
ed eligible workers, under the old
age benefits provisions of the Act.
Full information can be obtained
from your nearest Social Security
Board Field office.
(89) Q. Who has charge of tax
collections under the Social Se
curity Act?
A. The Bureau of Internal
Revenue administers the tax pro
visions of the Social Security
Act.
(90) Q. Suppose my employer
doesn't pay the taxes he collects
from my wages, will I lose my
old-age insurance?
A. The amount which will be
paid you under the old-age bene
fits provision of the Social Secur
ity Act 'does not depend on the
amount of taxes collected from
you or paid by your employer un
der Title VIII of the S&bial Se
curity Act. The amount you re
ceive will depend on the total of
your wages earned in covered em
ployment after December 31, 1936,
and before you become 65 years
of age. But the employer who does
not obey the law and report the
amount of wages paid each em
ployee puts his employees at a
disadvantage because the Social
Security Board will not have a
record of those wages when it
comes time to compute the
amount the Board should pay
each worker under the old-age
insurance provisions of the law.
