(Continued from Page 1) the social security program has g r o w n phenomenally, both in coverage, beneficiary categories, and the amount of benefit payments. Starting as a letiremcnt program for the protection of the aged wage earner, it has now become a f a m i 1 y insurance program protecting not only the wage earner, but the self-employed as well, in old-age, in total disability, and the family in case of the worker's death. In 1937 the social security lax ran* was i percent oy employees and 1 percent by employers. This low tax rate was adequate under the restricted retirement provisions of the original Act and sufficient to maintain a self-supporting program. The self-supporting principle in social security program financing has been sustained through the years by periodically increasing social security tax rates to take care of higher benefit payments, extended coverage, and other program improvements. As is true with any government benefit. Social Security benefits are not free gifts. From the citizens come all the funds for government programs. Social Security is really "required" insurance for old age, disability, or family care in case of the wageearner's death. The new increased social security contribution rates maintain the self-supporting feature of the program and by its actuarial soundness assures future payments to all eligible beneficiaries. I wish to take this opportunity to express my deepest appreciation for all the kindness and m a n y donations that I have received during the illness of my wife, Louise Harris. Jerry Harris ; . fx.
