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 of KNOWLEDGE +; IN ONE RECENT MONTH, U.S. AIRLINES FLEW MORE THAN 10,000,000 MILES -THE DAILY EQUIVALENT OF A TRIP TO THE MOON PLUS 4.

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 Great mountains and bright stars, -_ . wonder when the setting sun Shines forth through crimson bars; I wonder when the rainbow shines In drops of morning dew, And often through these summer days, I wonder about you. _ I wonder about you every day and why shouldn't I? You are one of those kindly persons’ who sometimes read the lines I write and pass judgment upon them. -Of course . wonder about you and worry too, at times. You may be a pleasing and interesting acquaintance, a dear and valued friend or a stranger whom [. have never met and may never have the pleasure of meeting; but whoever 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. : Let us hope, therefore, that our senator with the oneyou are and wherever you are, to me you are impo;xtant. I wonder about your thoughts and fancies, fads, and foibles. serious tasks and carg free pleasures.] wonder if you are happy in this topsy-turvy ads, 5 if your sense of humor triumph of right over wrong, is‘still unquenchable. Then of course, the personal equation, me, myself floats up to the surface and I wonder how you will react to the words I have here assembled. Will you find a smile or the germ of a thought in some fortunate paragraph, or will you sniff disdainfully and mutter, ‘“‘what insufferable nonsense?’’ Indeed there is an element of worrv in this line of thought. However, if it is nonsense to wonder and worry about you, then . am _ certainly nonsensical. You micht be survrised to learn how many _ people, teachers. nreachers, editors, radio personalities, mere columnists and oh, so many others go wondering down these particular lines of thought—worrying too, at times. You might be surprised at the degree of cheer and encouragement afforded them when you send little message either of commendation or constructive criticism. You see, it sets their wondering minds at ease—at least for the time being. . wonder how the closed season for restaurants is affecting our San Francisco friends. There must be thousands of harried business men who are taking unexpected guests. and traveling salesmen home to luncheons and dinners these days. Is that conducive to domestic tranquility?

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.
