"SMALL BUSINESS"
By C. WILSON HARDER

(There is a rumor making the
rounds that a measure will be
| introduced to raise Social
Security tax rate a fraction of a
cent to provide senior residents
with free plumbing service.
* * *
This new measure, to be
known as
Plumbincare,
will provide
for fixing
leaking fau-
cets, stopped
up toilets, in-
stalling water
heaters, oth-
er plumbing
work for ev-
erybody 65 or
over, wheth- C. W. Harder
er they have the means to af-
ford a plumber or not.
* ♦ *
Of course, this is a facetious
proposal ... or is it? It was
sparked by the successful set-
tlement of a building trades
strike in California in which
the U. S. Dept. of Labor ended
the deadlock, largely so the
vast government projects in
that state could proceed.
* * *
In a kind of a "let's hold
down inflation by reverse ac-
tion" the plumber's union was
persuaded to accept a contract
that calls for pay, plus bene-
fits, that will reach $7.55 per
hour. On regular time this will
give them almost $16,000 per
year, and with a modest
amount of overtime at double
rates, should give plumbers
around $18,000 per year.
* * #
This, of course, gives the
plumbers a bigger income than
the majority of the nation's
doctors. Now it is being touted
that the nation's senior citi-
zens cannot afford to pay for
medical services. If that is a
true premise, then obviously
they cannot afford to pay for I
plumbing services.
^c) National Federal Ion «.f Independent Business
In addition, adequate plumb-
ing facilities are probably as
essential to good health as
medical care.
* * *
So perhaps this idea of
Plumbincare should not be tak-
en as a joke. Some worthwhile
things could develop.
* * *
For example, if Social Secur-
ity taxes arc raised to finance
both Medicare and Plumbin-
care, it would open new oppor-
tunities to young men.
* # ♦
A lot of young men, instead
of spending years and thous-
ands of dollars studying to
practice medicine partly under
bureaucratic control, could
elect to become plumbers,
which of course would also be
under bureaucratic control.
They could earn good money
during the comparatively short
apprenticeship, then step right
into earning more than they
could hope for in the first few
years of medical practice.
♦ * *
Of course, in time this is li-
able to result in nation having
lots of plumbers, few doctors.
But if the situation got too un-
balanced, bureaucracy could
rise to the crisis.
* # *
After all, under Medicare
and Plumbincare, both plumb-
ers and doctors would be on a
semi-civil service status, and
it would be a simple matter
for a bureaucrat to change
classification of any number of
plumbers to that of a doctor.
* * *
That would be simple, for
has not the Unitod States,-
founded on the principle of
freedom and free enterprise,
elevated to highly influential
positions surh men as Gal-
braith and Schlessinger. Appar-
ently anything is possible.
