WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. Topping
all other subjects now under discus-

security proposal, which has taken
St. tes Must Co-operate.
One important, feature of the bill
is that it calls for co-operation 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 lawA varying greatly
in detail and amount of pensions paid.
The average of pensions paid is $19.34
i month, the highest. Iowa $30 a
month. Nearly 115.000 old people re-
ceived over 26 million dollars in 1933
under these state systems. Now states

precedence of the veterans bonus and
the four 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 four bil-
lions for public works will be voted
almost as i matter of routine with
probably fewer strings attached to it
than had been anticipated. But the
big tiling of the moment, which may
turn out to be the biggest thing in
this administration's career, when
history comes to be written, is the gi-
gantic plan for nation wide old age
pensions under federal supervision,
unemployment insurance on a nation-
al scale, with abroad child welfare
and public health program lacked on
for good measure.
Boiled down to essentials the plan
proposed by the president and em-
bodied in the Wagner-Lewis bill,
makes the following provisions:
1. Old Ago 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 persons now
without adequate means of subsist-
ence, or who may reach that age be-
fore the old age annuity funds pro-
vided for in the ball have built up
enough to provide that income. An
annual tax on payrolls to provide
old age retirement funds as well as
to build up an unemployment insur-
ance fund. Provisions whereby “self
employed" persons such as farmers,
professional men and others may
make voluntary payments to the an-
nuity fund, entitling them to receive
life penion when they reach 65 years.
" Unemployment Insurance. A tax
on all payrolls to be paid by em-
ployers, 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 age pension
guage as a requirement for the A. B.
degree. To sundry persons here and
there this proposal will contain a
note of distinct sadness. They will see
it as one more indication of the crass
I the B. S. But only the uninitiated

ed not an increase in the appeal of
science to modern youth but merely
an effort to avoid the necessity of
studying Latin. It was, and is, indeed,
exactly as President Eliot once said
Doctors Know!
... and they use <
liquid laxatives.
You'd use a liquid, too, if you kney-
how much better it makes you feel.
A liquid laxative can always be
taken in the right amount. You can
gradually reduce the dose. Reduced
dosage is the secret of real and safe
relief from constipation.
Just ask your own doctor about
this. Ask your druggist how popular
liquid laxatives have become. The
right liquid laxative gives the right
kind of help—and the right amount
of help. When the dose is repeated,
instead of more each time, you take
less Until the bowels are moving
regularly and thoroughly without aid.
People who have experienced this
comfort, never return to any form of
help that can't be regulated! The
liquid laxative generally used is Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It contains
senna and cascara, and these are
natural laxatives that form no habit.
It relieves a condition of biliousness
or sluggishness without upset.
To relieve your occasional upsets
safely and comfortably, try Syrup
Pepsin. The druggist has it.

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 un-
constitutional on Oct. 24.
It is no secret that one of the com-
pelling motives for the pressure be-
hind the bill the heaviest pressure
the president has yet seen fit to ex-
ert on congress—is the desire 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.
THE SIZE OF THE .
TAX LOAD
We saw some interesting figures
the other day—if any kind of fig-
ures can be said to be interesting.
These figures interested us because
they showed just how heavy the tax
burden upon the American people is.
Not counting the extraordinary ex-
penditures of the federal government
made with borrowed money which
have not yet begun to be seriously
reflected in the demand for taxes.
Uncle Sam is spending just for ordi-
nary upkeep of the governmental in-
stiutions, including the army and na-
vy and the payment of expenses aris-
ing from past wars, such as veterans'
pensions, just about 15 million dol-
lars every working day or $4,500,000,900
a year.
But the federal tax load is not the
heaviest, by any means. States, coun-
ties and municipalities take more
