“LIBERALIZED” PENSIONS
The pension-conscious people of California may be exommenations made this week end by Chairman Arthur J. Altmeyer of the social security board for an eight-point “‘liberalization’ of the federal social security program.
The fundamental idea of Altmeyer’s program seems to
be to deal with unemployment, old age insecurity and similar
problems on a national, rather than a state or local basis, and
this is as it should be.
There is one important feature of the. program however,
about which Californians can well afford to be skeptical.
It is the proposal that the 50-50 matching of federal and
state funds for old age pensions and other forms of relief be
abandoned in favor of a sliding scale arrangement based on
each state’s “‘economic capacity to pay.”
The problem of securtiy for aged persons, orphans, blind:
and unemployed clearly is a nationwide problem, and should
be dealt with primarily by the federal government.
And for that reason, it is proper that the federal government should consider abandoning the 50.50 basis in favor of
a ratio that would call for a greater proportion of federal funds.
But that is not the idea that Altmeyer seems to have in
mind. He apparently would leave the present ratio. or a sim-!.
iliar one. in existence for the “wealthier” states and then increase the federal government's share of the pension payTHE POCKETBOOK

I wonder about desert sands
ments in the “poorer” states. As the basis for arranging this
slidinio”scale. he would use the commerce department's figures
of per capita income in each state. .
On this basis. therefore, California, with a per capita .
come higher than that in most states, would get less aid from .
the federal government than some “‘poor’’ southern state like
Mississippi. —
But Altmeyer seems to be forgetting, or deliberatelv:
ignoring, the fact that Californians already are taxed according to their so-called ability to pay, and therefore are contributing far more into the social security coffers than are the
citizens of “poorer’’ states.
In payroll taxes alone (and this is where the social security system gets the bulk of its revenue), Californians pay

16.5 per cent more per capita than the national average.
On the present 50-50 basis, therefore. California pays in
something like $1,165 for every $1,000 she gets back: and a
poorer state, conversely, might pay only around $800 for
‘every $1.000 it gets in return.
So the government already is penalizing Californians,
and probably in a legitimate way, for the fact that our per
capita income is-better than average.
But what possible justice can there be in giving Californians a double jolt by cutting the $1,000 they get back to
-$800. for example. and by boosting from $1,000 to $1,200
the take of some other state that contributes only $800?
That would be the same idea as short changing a man
you've already over-charged.
Under the present setup, a liberal pension state like California is penalized by the fact that prospective pensioners
flock here from poorer states to get in on the gravy, and this
setyp obviously is wrong.
But the way to correct it is to make the pension program
more rather than less uniform throughout the country—not
by giving the poorer states a bigger chunk of California's
money and stil! leaving California with its same burden to
bear locally.
Californians already are contributing to the social security program according to their “economic capacity to pay.”
But the federal government to turn around and ladle the
monev out in inverse ratio on the same basis of ‘economic
capacity’ would be a double penalty that in no. way is either ;
just or equitable. :

constructive criticism. You see, it sets their wondering minds

TESTAMENT OF AN EDITOR
We like people who give us news items.
We adore club reporters who get their news in the day
after instead of the week after the club meeting. —
We are fond of folks who know typewritten copy should
be double spaced, and of correspondents whose handwriting
requires no special decoding.
We .appreciate readers who realize that no conclave is
held in the newspaper office each press day to decide which
small item will appear on the front page and which inside.
While we do plan to give front-page space to the several most
important stories each week, there is, in our minds, an equality
of importance between the Smiths’ “company” on Page . and
the Jonses’ dinner guests on Page 7.
: We are grateful for fellow citizens who do not make a
gleeful practice of pointing out typographical mistakes that
trouble to compliment us when they have enjoyed “a piece”
in the paper. ‘
There are, indeed, some very nice people in the world.-~
this amendment, while waiting for west winds to pile up the
leaves in the east, please watch honorable whirl wind which
scatters leaves every which way.”’ A. Merriam Conner.
