In order that the social Secur-ity Board may maintain records of the wages earned by employ-ees covered by the law, a system of account numbers has been de-vised, whereby individuals are by number rather than name. The necessity of this sys-tem may be seen when we real-ize that there are several hun-dr- d thousand people In the coun-try with the surname of Smith, and likewise with Jones, John-son, Jonsen and other common names. Cnsequently, a name 1 not sufficient to identify n Individual, and the Social stble for them to move westward to frontier settlements to follow their occupations or to take up new occupations in rabidly de-veloping parts of the country. Today the same alternatives are not open to people who be-come unemployed as the result of a serious depression They are no longer able to secure employ-ment merely by moving westward toward new frontiers, since un-employment, when it is caused by a depression, is spread over for employment is not better in one state than In another. As a result, wo find that varying num-bers of employable people are unemployed during periods of de-pression. s Securty Board uses the account number system. In the case of Unemployment Compensator we may refer in to the example of Paul Re-v- er and his printing and engra-ving establishment. In the early days of the establishment, where the business was affected by a serious depression, the problem of uneniploywment was not one to concern greatly those who were laid off the pob. They had num-erous alternatives which they were able to utilize. It was pos-- SOCIAL SECURITY ACT IN OPERATION paid and in maintaining records. As you well know, very few far-mers and fewer housewives main-tain records of the' wages In cash and in board and lodging which they pay to people they employ Railroad workers are excluded from the law because they are already co'vered by the provisions of the Railroad Retirement Act. People who work for federal, state and local branches of the governmsnt are excluded, be-cause the greater number of fed-eral employees are included under the Civil Service Retirement Act, and the Federal Government Is unable to tax the wages of sitate and local employees. Also exclu-e- d are the employees of nonpro-fit educational, charitable, scien-tific and religious institutions Generally, all other workers than those specifically mentioned are Included under the provisions of th law. j We are not to assume that be-cause farmers are excluded from the law that they may not bene-fit from the provisions of it Many farm workers, as in this valley, work part of the year in the sugar factory, in the mines, the smelters, or in canning fac-tories.

In the case of the Miners Jack-ets, the officers of the class were excused to go up town to Inter-view merchants and get samples to show the club at the meeting, which was called for noon. When the meeting was called, the boys reported they had sam-ples from one business house in Bingham, and that the other business houses visited did not send a sample down. The advisor was asked by some of the members of the club to get a sample of a Jacket from a Salt Lake house which he did. At the appointed time, the mem-bers of the club met and voted on the Jackets. A majority of the club voted for the out of town Jacket. An Investigation by myself has convinced me beyond a doubt, that these Jackets were purchased at wholesale prices, and that no teacher or student shared in a profit as was stated in your arti-cle. As to the band uniforms, I will say that they were purchased by the Board of Education, through their purchasing agent. I know that the Bingham business houses were given a chance to bid on the same. It is not the purpose of this article to apologize for certain action of members of the faculty in the case sited In your article, because I firmly believe, after thorough Investigation, that these teachers acted quite within the limits of their duties as class advisors. It has been the policy of the Bingham High School to foster and support civic activities. It is our firm belief that home mer-chants and business houses should be patronized but we also believe that in order to make their wares attractive, the price and article must favorably com-pare with the prices and articles of competitive business houses. Respectively Submitted by T. H. McMullin Principal of Bingham High School were bought from an out of town firm, however, there were three business establishments asked by the class to present their rings, with prices, to the classes. Inclu-ded in these three was the Jewel-ry store from Bingham. Each salesman was given a chance to appear before the class and show the rings and quota prices. After they were through, the salesmen and the advisors of the class left the room and the class voted pn the ring they wanted. As prin-cipal of the school, I feel that tholr policy was fair to the com- - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To the Editor of the Bulletin: In the last issue of the Bulle-tin appeared an article which was a direct thrust at the policy of the Bingham High School and its attitude toward the business houses of the town. In behalf of the school, I wish to present some pertinent facts pertaining to the-oase- s referred to in the Bulletin, which perhaps will throw different perspective on the situation. First, the Senior class rings Statements made in contribu-tion to this column do not re-flect the policies of the Bulletin, but are views of the writer.

CONSIDERING THE TAXES Therefore, the poor must be soaked. Tho amount of hidden taxes imposed on things we buy is unbellveable. Tobacco, wines, beers, whiskies, matches, oils, gasoline, electricity, tires, Inner tubes, toilet preparations, furs, automobiles, Jewelry, radio sets, telephone calls, candy, chewing gum and many other things are taxoj by the Federal Govern-ment, taxes paid by the con-sumer. Heads of families considered '.'tax free"' by reason of exemption from Income tax actually pay 19 to 20 per cent of their Income in concealed taxes. if everyone realized the ex-istence of "concealed" taxes, and were conscious of the payment, taxes and the use of tax money would seem a matter of more common concern. ' Taxes should be labeled taxes all the time. Everyone, would be a good deai more Interested, more concerned, in what we are getting for our money. 'I The idea that the Foderal I Oovernmont is paternal, combin- - I Jng the best points of Santa Claus and an indulgent parent, U is a belief which - is shared by ;j many, From large titles to the i humblest citizen on relief the i! common practice of recent years 1 has been to obtain every govern- - $ meat loan or benoiflt possible with no thought Of where, whon I or how the final settlement shall '; be made. I The fact is that for the past I five years the Federal govern- - jj ment has borrowed at least half or what it has spont. Borrowing, or courso, can't go on forever. j:! The cost of government must continue to be raised in taxes, in addition to interest and prin-ciple on the 20 billions borrow- - ed ifrcn the banks. ' This means taxes .will be laid on. The rich will be soaked. But if "government confiscated by i taxation all incomes over $25,000 a year, it would' atili be ?600 000,000 short of its expenditures. & A BLEND fcM 0F STRAIGHT EM WHISKIES Jif ) 90 PROOF tfaulJoiSl pints l)IOHT WHH' CODE No, mmm f iy w.. i "i mi ,ULJ VSlSw,A PlilT ffR ; QUI1RT CODE i ' CODE no. 30i no. 300' Blended WMI"J T(.BlndtandBolll,.

Citizens of Bingham Canyon and others who are concerned: tAs Boy Scouts of Bingham we believe it our duty to conserve the pine trees In the mountains of our district. We ask the help of everyone in this aim. We feel that there are only a few of these trees, which take a life-time to grow, left, and these should remain as they are to help in conservation of the wa-ter supply. We know that the time is pear when everybody wants a tree for Christmas. There are many trees, grown for this pur-pose, which can be bought for a small sunn. All the stores will sell trees and we hope everyone will buy their trees from busi-ness houses and salesmen. The trees which are in our mountains should be left there for our own good. Please help us save our trees. Your coopera-tion Is necessary. Troop 136, Bingham. O |
