Social Security arid Taxes
A Don't look now, but social security taxes went
up Jan. 1, ironically enough the start of an elec
tion year when both parties will speak hopefully
of some easing of the tax bite.
, Wage earners making $4,800,- the maximum
annual earnings subject to the tax, will find that
the new 3 per cent rate means a total outlay of
$144 annually $24 a year or 46c a week more
than under the old 2-1,4 per cent rate.
And the end still is not in sight. Even without
further legislation, social security taxes by 1969
will siphon off 9 per cent of the base payroll
(4-y2 Per cent each from employer and em
ployee). '
Here's the statistical story of social security
tax progression :
Cal. Year Employee Employer Self-Em. Earn, taxes
1937-49 1 1 Not Eligible $3,000
1950 l-i2 l-Vz Not Eligible' $3,000
1951-53 14S 1-V 2-14 $3,600
1954 2 2 3 $3,600
1955-56 2 2 3 $4,200
1957-58 2-14 2-14 3- $4,200
1959 2-12 2-12 3-34 $4,800
1960-62 3 , 3 4-i . $4,800
1963-65 3-Vi 3-12 .- 5-V4 . $4,800

sweeteners have been enacted in each of the last
five election years and
in iavor or. some revisions m 1960.
Adding to the dilemma is the knowledge that
the venerable Old Age
Trust Fund has been feeling the pinch of Con
gress' generosity. The fund's net assets, accumu
lated in previous years, totaled about $21.6 billion
on June 30, 19o9, but receipts failed to meet ex-
penditures in the past two fiscal years (the def
icits were $216 million
billion in fiscal 1959) and an $87 million deficit
has been forecast for fiscal 1960 the year end
ing next July .1. r
The Social Security Administration's board
of trustees believes the deficit should be the last
in the foreseeable future and assures that the
fund is in "approximate actuarial balance."
I AWM AKERS ir search of ways to raise more
revenue to finance more benefits are expected
to consider further increases in the amount of
wages subject to social security taxes.
Economist Seymour E. Hams of Harvard Uni
versity recently submitted, a study to the Con
gressional Joint Economic Committee suggesting
that the maximum earnings base be put at about
$9,000. If this were ever done, a $9,000 a-year
man in 1969 would be paying $405 a year in social
security taxes, with his
amount. E.K.K.
Our Place in the Space Race

tee isn't going to waste any time about investi
gating the state of the nation's space program.
lhe committee, headed by Kep. Overton Brooks
(D-La.), plans to begin extensive hearings Wed
nesday, the day Congress convenes.
Democrats have given top priority to probes
of the "space lag" during the 1960 election year.
Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson, chairman of the Senate
Aeronautical and Space Sciences Committee, is
expected to announce his plans soon for a similar
investigation on the other side of the Capitol.
JOHNSON'S group was the last to put the Eisen
hower Administration on the blast-off pad. A
special subcommittee report last July 18 charged
that U.S. space development efforts, both mili
tary and civilian, had been handicapped by ad
ministration failure to develop a "comprehensive"
long-range civilian-military space. program.
New grounds for criticism likely will be found
following Russian successes in hitting the moon
with Lunik III, launched Oct. 4. U.S. moon-shot
efforts, meanwhile, were largely disappointing.
A FOUR stage Atlas-Able vehicle launched
26 from Cape Canaveral, Fla., failed to
make it to the moon .when premature splitting
off of a plastic nose sheathing caused disintegra
tion of the upper stages.
Inasmuch as no back-up vehicle for the com
plex Atlas-Able was available, the only way to
attempt the feat again in the near future will be
to divert an Atlas booster from some other civilian
or some military project that already has been
labeled essential. E.R.R.

Will Something Be Done?
To the Editor: After the
lack of response to my let
ter about road conditions in
this and other areas, I can
only say that I feel like
the fellow whose wife came
into the kitchen and found the
maid sitting on her husband's
lap. "Well', she says, "I'm
surprised". "No, my dear",
says her husband, "I'm sur
prised, you're amazed".
I am amazed that there was
only one letter in reply to the
one I sent in. Thank you, Mr.
Van Horn.
Since Oregon in general and
Medford in particular are not
ed for their splendid educa
tional institutions and schools,
I feel reasonably sure that
this letter was well read. I
can only conclude that there
is no one interested enough in
the problem to try and get
something done.
We all show the proper re
spect for warnings that are
given us about not eating
cranberries that are suitably
processed because they would
kill you in about 45 or 50
years (if you ate them . three
or four times a day) and we
smoke filter cigarettes like
mad 'cause they reduce the
tar and nicotine and we get
our chests x-rayed every now
and then to see if we are in
tip top shape. I wonder if we
are taking these precautions
so that we will be in condi
tion to drive our cars and
then get killed or seriously in
jured because of inadequately
kept roads.
I could go on for another
page or so, but there is not
much use in beating a dead
horse, is there?
I would like to relate an
incident that I would rather
have not seen on the morning
of 29 December. I don't really
mean that I would like to: I
should say, I think I ought
to. I happened to be at the
scene of the accident that took
four lives, just north of Eu
gene. There were four young
people killed outright and the
fifth was critically injured.
There ages were 21, 22, 20, 21
and 23; just at the threshold
of life, you might say. It is
impossible for me to describe
the horror. Absolute horror.
Think of the misery of their
families. When I came back
south some ten or twelve
hours later, the highway was
well sanded. It was not there
at the time of the acicdent.
If it was, . I couldn't tell , it.
How about the accident at
Phoenix the same morning.
When will something be
done?
The first paragraph is meant
to be descriptive and certain
ly not humorous.

... To Be Kind
To the Editor: Those who
love animals are in select com
pany. Space does not permit
the naming of all the great
men who, over the years, have
manifested love for and
shown keen interest in horses,
dogs, cats and kittens.
Robert E. Lee had his fa
mous Traveler, proud gelding
of the wars. George Washing
ton had his Arabian stallion,
three kittens and two dogs.
Thomas Jefferson had 31 head
of horses and, in addition,
five Maltese cats and three
Great Danes. The stables at
Monticello are still as they
were when the Sage of Monti
cello held forth there. Mon
roe cared deeply for his pet
Maringo, a dog. F.D.R. was de
voted to Fala, the Scotty. Her
bert Hoover loved Laddy Boy,
the collie, and Thomas Edison
admitted his love for his two
dogs and two cats.
Kings, potentates and princ
es, from the earliest periods of
our known civilization, de
creed severe penalties for
those who dared abuse our
domestic friends. Even the
cruel Prussian, taking a page
from the crHeler Mongols, os
tracized those who were found
guilty of mistreating the less
er creatures of God's creation.
Poets have written of the
horse, the dog and the cat,
and philosophers have moral
ized on the wisdom of our
four-footed friends. Greek
schools taught humane edu
cation centuries ago and so,
too, did the ancients of Persia,
Babylon and India.

meaning of life is to be kind"

if they got guests coming.
Maybe it ain't, but it's a
lot better than a family with
seven kids, and having six
guests arriving unexpectedly.
You ain't got but one tin
washtub in a sod bathroom
3 ft. x 3 ft., space back of

fresh out of buffalo chips.
There ain't no water in the
rain barrel, stored in the
shade of the old cottonwood
tree, under a pile of tumble
weeds, 250 yards from the
house. The windmill is busted
and there never was much
water in the well.
That's a bad situation, but
it's a little easier than trying
to shoot a rocket full of
monkeys to the moon. You
got to hitch the mules to the
wagon, go out on the prairie
and gather a load of buffalo
chips, and unload them in the
barn. Go get the empty rain
barrel, drive . down to the
South Platte River for a bar
rel of water to store under
the cottonwood tree. Then
drive back to the barn and
take a wheelbarrow load of
buffalo chips to the kitchen.
Back to the rain barrel once
again, and pack 10 buckets
of water to the house. Put the
washtub on top of the stove,
dump the water in the tub.
Start the fire, thrown in some
chips and pack the ashes out.
Turn around, go back to the
barn, unhitch the mules, feed
and curry them, and milk the
cows. On your last trip to the
kitchen, take an arm load of
buffalo chips, throw some
chips in the stove, take the
ashes out and start supper,
while the guests are taking
their bath in the tin washtub,
back of the : iron cookstove.
The next morning, you ain't
got no more buffalo chips, you
ain't got no water in the rain
barrel and the windmill is
busted, but you got six clean

Important Letters
To the Editor: Attached are
copies of two important let
ters, one from Col. W. L. Win-
egar, district engineer, U.. S.
Army Corps of Engineers, and
the other from Leo L. Laythe,
regional director, Fish and
Wildlife Service, both of Port
land.
These letters point up the
fact that progress continues to
be made in this important
field. Also, this is the first
example, so far as we know,
where provision for the fish
ery, as a major beneficiary,
has been included in the over
all study. These letters also
bear out the high degree of
cooperation now being extend
ed by the agencies involved,
and that they are doing just
what they promised the peo
ple of the Basin last summer.
As we go into the New
Year, the Rogue Basin Flood
Control and Water Resources
association will continue its
important work and study of
the Rogue Basin, as well as
performing that necessary
function of liaison between
the people of the Basin and
the Agencies - both Federal
and State - working on the
overall Basin study.
The Association wishes for
you a satisfying and success

time expresses deep apprecia

Kilroy Was There
To the Editor: During the
last twenty odd years, you
and I have, time and again,
found that the sign maker
had long anticipated our ar
rival. This has included
everything from the unblush
ing appeals for Pills and
Chewing Tobacco to the crude
pictographs left by the first
advertisers, Prehistoric Men.
Wherever our feet or vehicles
have taken us, we find, to our
chagrin, that someone has
been there before, with a sign.

answer; "No Julius. It will

Mine Hunts
To the Editor: One of the
main attractions among the
prospectors and miners living
on the California deserts in
wintertime are "lost mine
hunts," sponsored by the "old
desert rats" and the more romantic-minded
fortune hunt
ers. The plan is to stage a round
up, or ratr er form a circle
after leaving their vehicles at
the nearest place of some des
ignated road or trail before
starting out on foot. The most
likely locality is chosen where
there is always a reasonable
chance of re-discovering some
old lost legendary ledge, vein
or ore chute carrying gold
values. -
Some discoveries are re
ported to have been made by
this method as well as a day
of fun. There are such places
to be traced out yet in Jack
son and Josephine counties.
The best part of the year for
this kind of mineral searching
in southern Oregon is the
early . part of spring when
there is most likely to be am
ple water for panning sam
ples in the little draws and
gulches.
Think it over all you moun
tain hikers!

IN PROOF of this, I'd like to
cite the 71st annual Tourna

as this is written, is still wend

of Pasadena.
It was cold in Pasadena last
night. At 1 a.m., the mercury
dropped to 31. It was still cold
at daylight. But when the pa
rade began a million persons
lined the route. The crowd be
gan to assemble early. By mid
night people were packed
tightly along the streets the
parade would follow. Small
fires were built again the curb-
mgs in empty gartage cans
and other metal containers.
Hundreds of persons curled
in sleeping bags on lawns bor

lieve the world is going to
hell in a hand basket, I'm
glad of what happened in
Pasadena last night and ihe

The modern world isn't all
bad. Nor is America all bad
ARMY OFFICER KILLED :
Wuerzburg, Germany -(UPD-A
30-year-old U. S. Army of
ficer was killed Sunday in a
shooting incident at an Amer
ican friend's apartment in
Schweinfurt, police reported.
They declined to reveal any
details of the case, other than
to say the officer and his
friend both belonged to the
U. S. 3rd Infantry Division.
DONATES $5 MILLION -
New York - (UPD - Brooklyn
born snack bar and coffee
magnate William Black has
donated $5 million to his alma
mater, Columbia university,
for its medical school.
bomb is ready but the scien
tific measuring instruments
are not.
Asia Nightmares:
With trouble threatening in
neighboring Laos, one of the
things that give U.S. military
officers in Thailand the
"creeps" is the almost total
lack of adequate radar instal
lations. "They could hit you
without your knowing it,"
was the way one officer sum
med it up.
No Hurry:
Chancellor Konrad Aden
auer's government does not in
tend to be stampeded into
banning all right-wing parties
as result of the recent put
break of anti-semitic acts in
West Germany. Insiders say
the government quietly will
start work on stamping down
the more hot-headed right
wingers known to hold anti
Jewish views. Banning of th
right - wing parties, these
sources say, merely would
drive them underground and
make them harder to control.
At the same time, it would
open the government to
charges that the West German
regime is not truly demo
cratic. While retaining basic
freedom of speech, the gov
ernment is expected to make
an example of half a dozen
leading anti-semites the min
ute they step out of line. This
would have the two - fold
effect of showing the world
that the government is de
termined to stamp out anti
semitic acts and of demon
strating the same conviction
rather more forcefully at
home.
Trouble Spot:
Despite denials, there are
persistent reports of deadlock
which could delay scheduled
independence for Cyprus on
Feb. 19. Chief stumbling
block for the treaty makers
is a British demand that Bri
tain be allowed to retain
sovereignty over 126 square
miles earmarked for two
British military bases. Presi
dent - elect Archbishop . Mak-
anos is insisting that the area
be no more than 36 square
miles.
