Social Security Tax Goes Up
One-half Percent on Jan. 1
By JAMES MARLOW
Washington, Nov. 22 W) On Jan. 1 the social security tax is
going up from the present 1 per cent each to 1 ',4 per cent each
on all employes and employers covered by the law.
This increase of one-half of 1 per cent in the social security tax
Congress voted for this
increase in 1947.
This is the way the lax works
and how it will work after Jan.
1.
The employe
You're a covered employe.
Now you pay a yearly tax of 1
per cent on whatever salary you
make up to $3,000. There's no
tax on anything you make over
$3,000.
So the highest tax such an em
ploye has lo pay now is 1 per
cent of $3,1)00. or $30 a year,
earned from any one employer.
When the 1VS per cent tax a
year on the first $3,000 goes
into effect, the highest tax is
$45 a year.
(What happens in the case of
an employe who changes jobs
during the year? . Suppose he
earned as much as $3,000 from
one employer and paid the maxi
mum tax on that $30 and
then went to work for another
employer duuring the year.
(Is he all finished paying his
social security tax for the year?
No. He has to pay 1 per cent of
his pay up to the first $3,000 of
it earned from the second em
ployer.
But isin't $30 the most an em
ploye has to pay in any one year
now? Yes. But when he pays
more than that, he can get a re
fund by asking the internal rev
enue bureau for it at the end of
the year. The bureau collects
the tax.)

You have to match, out of
your own pocket, whatever tax
your covered employe has to
pay: 1 per cent of his salary up
lo the first $3,000 of it.
So the most an employer has
to pay on any employe's salary
is $30 now, or 1 per cent of
$3,000. Suppose the employe's
total salary is $5,000 or $10,000.
No matter. The employer pays
only 1 per cent $30 on the
first $3,000. Suppose the em
ploye's salary is $1,000. The Boss
pays only 1 per cent of $1,000,
or $10.
When the tax goes up to Vk
percent Jan. 1, the employe and
the employer each will have to
pay 1 lk percent of the employe's
salary up to the first $3,000, or
a maximum of $45 each.
(So, while the combined tax
on employer and employe now
is only 2 per cent, after Jan. 1
it was to have been 3 percent.)
This is an explanation of how
the tax increase on Jan. 1 came
about.
When the Social Security Act
was passed in 1935, congress
said the tax should start in 1937
and would run this way:
1937-8-9 1 per cent each on
employes and employers; 1940-

2114 per cent; 1943-4-52
percent; 1946-7-8 2'h percent;
and starting Jan. 1, 19493 per
cent.
But as 1940 began to roll
around with the tax due to go
up from 1 to 1 M per cent con
gress voted to keep it at 1 per
cent. Year after year it voted
to freeze the tax at 1 per cent
to prevent an increase.
But in 1947 congress voted
to keep the tax at 1 per cent on
employers and employes through
1949 and then let it go up to
IV2 per cent on each, starting
Jan. 1, 1950.
Since congress hasn't changed
what it agreed to in 1947, the
tax rise of one-half of one per
cent starts Jan. 1.
This year the present con
gress, before it went home, con
sidered a bill to increase social
security taxes on an increasing
scale until they reached a total
of 3 'A per cent each on em
ployes and employers in 1970
and thereafter.
The house passed this bill late
this year. But the senate didn't.
So the bill didn't become law.
Therefore, the law passed by
congress in 1947, and not chang
ed since, goes into effect Jan. 1.
Pray Calls for 100
More Portland Police
Portland, Ore., Nov. 22 U.R)
Chief of Police Charles P. Pray
today asked for 100 additional
foot patrolmen to combat a rise
in sex offenders, street assaults
and armed robberies.
Chief Pray, whose policy of
shifting cops from prowl cars to
pavement beats gained national
attention in Collier's magazine
said .the change had increased
spot arrests but he needed more
footpads.
Pray said a survey showed
other Pacific coast cities, except
Seattle, had more police protec
tion than Portland. Los Angeles
had 2.06 cops per 1000 citizens.
Portland had 1.41.

WHAT DO WE MEAN when we say that in
Dynaflow Drive "oil does it all"?
Simply that in Dynaflow Drive, the spinning of oil
in the Dynaflow unit does what you have long needed
shifting gears to accomplish. For instance
Here you are starting out.
In most cars, you have to
throw out a clutch and
shift into low gear to get
starting power. In Dyna
flow, you simply set your lever in Driving position
and nudge the gas treadle.
Oil spins in a sealed drum to give you all the power
needed for starting but there's no transmission
gear-whine whatever.
Now you are beginning to move. In most cars, you
shift manually into second, then third each
time repeating that press-the-pedal-move-the-lever
routine.
With Dynaflow, oil simply spins in a different path
within the Dynaflow unit and you move into cruising
pace easy as a bird taking off.
Here's a slow-moving
vehicle you want to pass.
In other cars you may
have to shift again with
a definite loss of forward
motion. That means a lag
before you get action and maybe another shift back
into high after you have passed.
Not so with Dynaflow. Just step on the throttle, and
spinning oil takes the path to give you extra power
for passing. Response is as fast as engine response
practically instantaneous.

. MUCK trill mmlU thrm
Uit ti HENRY I. TAYLOR. ABC Nttwcl. Vftf AWor rafting.
Here's a common traffic situation. Usually you go
into second or low in order to get a good fast
getaway.
With Dynaflow, just press the gas treadle, never
touching the shift lever. Spinning oil will find the
proper channel of flow to give you getaway power
power that's ever-smooth and great enough to
step you out smartly and with unbroken, velvety
smoothness.
Does that mean you never
shift at all? Not quite.
For emergency braking
power, for starts on very
steep hills with heavy
loads, for rocking out of
. sand or snow, you may occasionally change to
Emergency Low range. This simply puts the entire
Dynaflow operation into an extra powerful range. .
But for all normal driving, you can use Driving
range entirely. Oil will travel whatever course is
required to give you the kind of power you need
without any gear-changing whatever.
,
To see what a whale of a difference that makes
in ease, freedom of mind, and restfulness in a long
day ask your Buick dealer for a demonstration.
That, plus some very particular advantages in
economy of upkeep, will convince you that Dynaflow
is truly the "drive of the future."
