Sheriff Wright
attends school
in Austin
Eighty-six law enforcement
officers-including 66 newly
elected Texas sheriffs—have
been attending a one week long
course at the Department of
1 ublic Safety which teaches the
officers the basic duties and
functions of their offices.
1 he five day school, which
started Monday, is sponsored
jointly by the DPS and the
Sheriffs Association of Texas.
Representatives of the law
enforcement community are
pointing out a broad overview
for the newly elected Texas
sheriffs, who assume their new
offices on Jan. 1, 1977.
Among the visiting law
officers attending the course is
( harles H. Wright, sheriff from
Canadian.
Colonel Wilson E. Speir, DPS
director, said the officers were
learning of the extensive and
complex facilities that are
available to them and other
officers through the depart
nient.
Instructors for the course
represent various federal and
state agencies who are
explaining the assistance avail
able to the new office holders.
Twenty of the class members
are deputies or chief deputies in
Texas sheriffs' offices.

Social security
earnings base
to increase
Beginning January 1, 1977^
the social security earnings
oase—the maximum amount of
annual earnings on which
employees, employers and
self employed people must pay
social security tax-will in-
crease from $15,300 to $16,500,
hut the tax rate will remain the
same.
This means that people who
earn $16,500 or more a year will
be paying $965.25 in social
security taxes, or $70.20 more
than the $895.05 they paid in
1976. The contribution rate of
5.85 percent of taxable earnings
for employees and employers,
and 7.9 for self-employed
people remains the same.
T he increase is not welcome
news for those already
concerned about the pressure
of inflation on their paychecks.
1 hat's why it's important that
it be looked at in its proper
perspective, understanding
both its advantages and
disadvantages, says Howard
Weatherly of the Pampa Social
Security Office.
First of all, the increase does
not affect workers whose
annual earnings are less than
$15,300; this is about five out of
six workers covered by social
security. This is because they
will be paying at the same rate
on the same amount as last
year.
Secondly, while some work-
ers will pay more, they will also
be able to count on bigger

benefit checks when they
retire, and for their families if
they should die or become
disabled. Benefits are based on
average earnings over a period
of years, but only earnings on
which social security taxes are
paid count in figuring the
average. When more of a
worker's earnings can count
toward social security, monthly
checks are higher.
And third, consider the
alternative, Weatherly points
out. In order to keep social
securit benefits up with the
cost of living, it is necessary to
change either the contribution
rate or the earnings base.
Increasing the contribution
rate means that everybody
would be paying more taxes.
Increasing the earning base
means that only those with
higher earnings will be paying
more.
