Geologically, tiie chemist Nature, with pestle and mortar, mixed marine and alluvial sediments, added the acids of eons, and brought forth a wondrous combination to make tiie Louisiana of today. The extremely fertile top sods, producing agricultural products and valuable forests, are the state's basic resources. Hut 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.

They are given a standard deduction based on how much they earn. For example, those farmers earning between $750 and $1,000 get a $300 deduction; theres a $400 deduction for the next highest group and so on. They take their deduction, make the simple report of net income, and thats that. But some farmers may insist that their expenses exceed the deduction allowed them. Thats okay with Mr. Benedict. For them, he would provide a separate form so the farmer could list his actual expenses and deduct them. Farm Hands Also Covered this applies to But perhaps the farm owner, Jake Duncan, has a helper, Tom. Tom is a farm and if Mr. Benedict has his like way, farm Tom would be treated much the same as industrial workers, insofar as social security is concerned. That means Jake, the employer would deduct Toms 1 per cent from his wages, add his own payment of 1 per cent to Tonis 1 per cent and transmit to the government at the end of each quarter, the funds and a certified statement of wages paid. Here again, Mr. Benedict wants to save Jake, the employer, from long nights spent at the rolltop desk pouring over social security records He suggests as one way to eliminate paper work, a stamp book system. Tom would get a stamp book from the post office. Each time Jake pays Tom off, Jake would affix and cancel the proper stamps. That's a painless way of recording payments. Mr. Benedict doesnt think that nine million farmers and farmworkers can be brought into the social security system overnight. Neither does he predict smooth sailing right from the start if they were brought in It will take time educational proand a gram.

This bill was sent to the house wavs and means committee on May 21. 1915, 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, tnere is opposition to the idea in some quarters. Some persons who oppose including farmers, and other workers not now insured, advance the argument 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 arent going to be sufficient to pay them off. uness 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 Thpy decided to make the contributions high enough so that the government would not have to help out. They agreed to keep the present per cent from employee and per cent from employer rate until 1943 After that, theyd increase it to 2 per cent each; then to 2 5 per cent; then to 3 per cent from 1943 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. nation-enn't-af-ford- re )t! Sc I J 'A' , I , r pany at Baton Ruuue.

Its home-prove- Consider what the government is already handing out to support aged persons not covered by social seassistcurity. The costs of ance and aid to dependent children from 1933 to 1944, to the country, added up to a tidy billion dollars. And costs will continue to go up as the average age of the population rises. All of which means the government has dispensed almost a billion dollars in charity to persons who might, had they been able to make regular social security contributions during their working years, have been able to get along without such charity. Other opponents foresee the farmer bogged down in an avalanche of government questionnaires, financial reports, lists, ledgers and statistics, should he be made a participating member of the social security system. But under Mr. Benedicts plan, the farmers duties to his government where social security is concerned are a minimum. He wont have to keep detailed farm records. The reports he does have to make are simple ones. .As a matter of fact, if he uses the stamp plan to take care of his employees social security payments, he wont have as much paper work as industrial or professional employers have. Still another argument is advanced by people who predict glomily that if workers are assured of a regular income from social security after retirement, they won't work; they wont save during the years they can work. Mr. Benedict thinks that argument is as ancient as the reconstructed dodo in the Smithsonian institution. Social security benefits, as set up now, will certainly not buy retiring oldsters any mink coats or Cadillac coupes. The benefits are very modest ones. Any sensible person can see hell have to have some other resources besides social security if he wants to live at any level above the barest minimum ol subsistence when he reaches retirement age. He'll save money, try to accumulate property, perhaps carry private business insurance too.

William Makepeace Thackery found New Orleans the city of the world where you can eat and drink the most and suffer the least. Irvin S. Cobb found New Orleans bouillabaisse, a fish chowder, unexcelled. The people of Louisiana set tables of luscious Creole dishes that have evolved over a period of more than two centuries and present a triumphant synthesis of the French love for delicacies and the Spanish taste for pungent seasoning. While Creole cooking today is found at its best in the vicinity of New Orleans and in the Teche country, its excellencies may be enjoyed throughout Louisiana wherever the French influence has penetrated. In the preparation of sea food Creole cuisine is at its best. Oysters, with crabs and shrimp, are cooked in gumbo and it is said that a Cieole puts everything into gumbo except the Creole! In addition to sea food, game and domestic fowl, there aie varieties of roasts and other elaborate dishes. Rice is used by Louisianans as Irish potatoes are used elsewhere. Hominy grits is to breakfast what New Orleans on the left and ancient rice is to dmner. The perfect complement to a Creole meal is Creole dripped coffee although a taste for it has to be acquued since it is simple and cheap.

Tie counted fih and wildl.fe them, canvassing the wide open spaces to do it. Prof Murray R. Benedict of the University of California has been doing some counting too in the wide open spaces, or at least down on the farm, and he came up with the conclusion that m 1939 more than half the farm owners tn the country raised less than $750 worth of products on their land. Consequente farmers, and a ly these great many other farmers in only slightly higher income brackets, find it almost impossible to save money toward the time when they can no longer work. They are harassed by a feeling of economic ininsecurity the kind of economic Truman President which security recently said was tending to break down family life in this country. Mr. Truman suggested that perhaps we ought to have a Bill of Rights for the family as well as for the individual. Professor Benedict doesnt suggest a Bill of Rights for the farmer, but in a pamphlet entitled A Rehe tirement System for Farmers does suggest that the farmer be included in the federal social security system. The farmer earning no more than $750 from the sale of products would worker be listed as a making an assumed net income of $400. He would pay into the social security fund 2 per cent of his income each year, and to make the yearly payments a little easier to take, the farmer would use a stamp book, buying social security stamps to paste in whenever he had some w i Hi V,,!
