STATE OLD AGE PENSION
An old age pension plan based on a one percent tax on
payroll earnings is proposed by Labor Commissioner Gram
for the state. If the state is to have an old age pension this
would be our idea of the method by which it should be built
up. The workers contributions might be built into an in­
surance policy to mature at age tit) or any other time that
might be Bet.
The old age pension plan could be administered by the
state like the industrial accident insurance works. It seems
to us that the same field auditors and central organization
could be employed to handle this job.
Gram’s plan provides for a one-per cent tax on work­
ers’ earnings but not to exceed $15 per person annually.
Merits of this plan are that it is based on a sound as­
sumption and after once started it could not be changed by
politicians since the money in the fund would be the work­
ers* and not the state’s. If the state guaranteed the old age
pc< lion, bonds might be sold to get the plan in operation at
an early date and later repaid by the fund.
The Gram plan does not fall on the backs of the over­
burdened taxpayers and any plan that does is bound to be
a failure. Witness the 50 per cent tax delinquency in Ore­
gon. The Gram plan collects from those who have a job
and who are to receive the full benefits from aid age pen­
sion. It seems to us that anyone earning $1000 a year for
instance could pay $10 toward insurance in his old age.
Also that when the time comes to receive that insurance it
could be taken with a great deal better conscience if it had
been earned by the individual than a gift from the state.
If we are to have a state old age pension it seem to us the
Gram plan is economically sound and sensible and should
be given consideration.

In 1930, the first year of the depression, an enamel
paint company with $4,000 capital, plenty of ideas and a
paint formula opened a store in Chicago. The company
now has a $5,000,000 business through 3500 stores. Who
■ays opportunity is gone? It is significent also that one of
the ideas of the company was adequate advertising.

Those who are worrying about a platform for the Re­

the Democrats used at last election. If they want some­
thing different than now that platform should fill the bill
completely.

Congressmen have expressed the hope that taxes will

WALKING ALONE
When last we caught a glimpse of the people following
Jesus they were cheering his name beside the lake, seeking
to force him to be their king. He eluded them and retired
into the mountain to think and pray. It must have been a
dramatic moment when he reappeared. Only a single “Yes”
was needed and they would have lifted him on their shoul- ,
ders and borne him in triumph to the city gates.
Hushed and expectant they waited for his answer—and
what an answer! “I am not come to restore the kingdom to
Jerusalem,” he cried. “Mine is a spiritual mission; I am the
bread of life. You have cheered me because I fed you in
the wilderness, but I tell you now that what I have come to
give you is myself, that by knowing me you may know your
Father.”
They could not have been more stunned if he had
struck their leader across the face. What did he mean by
this senseless mysticism, this talk about “the bread of life”?
Hadn’t they seen him heal the sick and conquer the Phar- i
isees in debate—were not these signs that he was the lead-
er- so long promised, who would rout the Romans and re­
store the throne of David?
