There are 7,148,422 specimens of dorsed it in the last election campaign, the social security board last month broached the subject to congressional attention once again, and there is a bill which would accomplish it the Wagner - Murray - Dingell bill. This bill was sent to the house ways and means committee on May 24, 1945, and it's still there, gathering dust. It is doubtful that the committee will take any action unless some pressure is brought to bear by interested parties. Of course, there is opposition to the idea in some quarters. Some persons who oppose including farmers, and other workers not now insured, advance the nation-caargument. They say that as more and more persons in occupations covered by social security reach the retirement age, the amounts paid into the trust fund aren't going to be sufficient to pay them off, unless the treasury digs down and adds public funds. In 1939, the lawmakers threshed this out and came up with a plan to make the fund continuously self- supporting. They decided to make the contributions high enough so that the government would not have to help out. They agreed to keep the present 1 per cent from em ployee and 1 per cent from employer rate until 1943. After that, they'd increase it to 2 per cent each; then to 2.5 per cent; then to 3 per cent from 1948 on. However, congress deferred the rate increase during the war, and hasn't ever gotten around to upping it. Unless rates are increased, undoubtedly the treasury will have to shell out in future years, when the system gets into full swing. And if farmers and other presently uninsured workers are brought in undoubtedly the treasury will have to shell out more. wildlife in the United States not Tit the muslin smoothly but do wildlife as represented by the ref stretch.

It was a miracle of chemical combinations that brought about the transmutation of these base metals into gold. Geologically, the chemist Nature, with pestle and mortar, mixed marine and alluvial sediments, added the acids of eons, and brought forth a wondrous combination to make the Louisiana of today. The extremely fertile top soils, producing agricultural products and valuable forests, are the state's basic resources. But beneath the surface are rich deposits of salt, sulphur, petroleum and natural gas. Over all hangs a favorable climate, with sun and rain proportioned and balanced to bless the land. Racially too, Louisiana has had its minglings and infusions. The Creole is a descendant of the French or Spanish settlers. The in spite of intermixture with other nationalities, retains much of the Spanish. The descendant of the almost completely abGerman, sorbed by his Latin neighbors, still lives above New Orleans on the "German coast." The of English Royalists resides in East and West Feliciana parishes. The Russian, as well as the Central and South American, now makes Louisiana his home. The Filipino has Manila village, and there is a Chinese settlement at Bayou Defon. It is doubtful that a Negro can be found in the state. Two centuries of linguistic inter course have modified the French dialects of the Creole and Acadian, with words and inflections borrowed from the English, German, Negro and Indian neighbor. There are Negroes who cannot speak English, idioms and yet early Anglo-Saxoexpressions may be heard in their archaic purity in some sections of the state.
