Telling the Editor
PENSIONS HELD INADEQUATE
KLAMATH FALLS. Ore. (To
'the Editor) The peak of my
huge, but shapely, form being full
of everything else but brains. I
have a few problems in mind that
are difficult for me to solve and
it seems to me there should be
an answer and I would appreciate
it it some good mathematician
would help me In my quandary.
Why is It so difficult for an old
person to obtain the so-called old
age pension which isn't an old
age pension at all but is nothing
more than relief or old age as
sistance. There are a great many
people who haven't atopped to
think of tbe embarrassment they
have to undergo and how they
have to humble themselves. In
fact, almost have to get down on
their knees and beg for the
meager sum they receive. Having
to prove their age, positively
swearing they have no other
means of support, sent back and
forth from one case worker to
someone else. Having an inves
tigator prying into their private
life or home. Having to climb up
and down the stairs at the court
house here in Klamath Falls,
which alone is dangerous as well
as tiresome, and some of these so
old and broke down they can
hardly get along. Then after go
ing through all the red tape, and
undergoing the hardships they
must if they are lucky they re
ceive an average of 822.50 per
month. The maximum Is 830.00
and the minimum is ?. Now I be
lieve the figures I am herewith
setting forth are about as low as
can possibly be stated and. live
or exist. Rent 810.00 per month.

82.50. Wood at 84.00 to 86.00

and 85.00 for miscellaneous and

come anywhere near enjoying the
comforts of life, self respect and
health on 822.50 per month?. I
ask you. Now I wonder If, we,
the younger generation, who have
been looking forward to, and
somewhat depending on, the old
age pension we are to Tecelve,
which comes under the- set up of
the social security 'act, will we
have to go through the routine
as the old folks are now? Will
we have to prove our age? And
how many, who are depending on
the social security old age pen
sion, can prove their age, as thou
sands of birth records have been
destroyed through various ways,
and some never had their births
recorded. The unemployment sit
uation is becoming more acute
every year through the Invention
and patenting of machines to take
the place of workers. Will we be
able to ootaln employment enough
between now and the time we will
become eligible, to earn enough
to qualify for a pension of 820.00
or 825.00 and what will the eco
nomic aet up be by then? Will
the pension we draw permit us to
live or Just exist, and when we
become 65 years of age will we
have to wait months as the ones
who are and have been waiting
on the unemployment insurance
checks. I
I think our system of old age
insurance, as it Is now. Is nowhere
near adequate. I personally, could
not set a figure which would- be
adequate as some would require
more than others, but I think the
Townsend plan would be ample.
Some say tbe Townsend plan
would break our government that
the tax would be too huge a
burden. ,
How many know that the reve
nue, derived from the social se
curity tax, had up to last Jan. 1.
1938, reached 8440,000,000, and
according to the statistics I have
keen able to get, would eventually
BY J. R. WILLIAMS
reach fifty-two billion dollars.
Wouldn't that pay an adequate
old age pension to each person
65 years or older? Hoping to see
a better system of old age assur
ance In the near future as I
firmly believe the aged deserve,
and should have the best that is
required for hasn't It been the
ones before us who have built this
country up to what it is today?
Yours sincerely,
FLOYD V. STAFFORD,
2131 Oak Street.
FAVORS HOME LABOR
KLAMATH FALLS. Ore. (To
the Editor) One way that we
could solve one of our relief prob
lems would be to use the men and
women who are established In
Klamath Falls and who have
proven themselves to be real citi
zens, men and women who prob
ably own their own homes and
hare cars, washing machines, and
what not on the Installment plan:
Instead of hiring floaters from all
over the United States. Unless we
do use these people they will be
forced to go on relief and the tax
payers of this county will sooner or
later feel that great burden.
For instance:. A certain young
man from tbe east, who has had no
experience In the lumber Industry,
secured a transfer Job within a
week In a local mill, and to mv
knowledge there was at least a half
dozen married men with families
who were hoping, maybe, to get
this Job. This young man who
