Examination and compari.son of the two party platforms on the major is sues, which arg, old age pensions, un employment relief and agricultural assistance, shows differences mainly in method rather than in principle. The Republican platform for exam ple, accepts the. system of federal grants to states for pensions to the needy aged, and differs “only from the.system now in effect in propoe-, ing to raise funds for^ this purpose by a direct tax widley distributed. This is interpreted as foreshadowing a federal* sales tax. On other phases of the social se-i curity program, which the Democratic platform endorses, the Republican platform criticsies the old age insur- anee and unemployment insurance provisions as leaving out of consid eration too large a proportion of WTqfC-eamers; and proposes a revis ion of the method of admindstration. On the matter of relief, the Repub lican platform proposes to return the problem to the individual states with the federal government confining its activity to grants- of •money to the states to help finance their relief programs. The Democratic pla^o unemployment a natfdnal problem, to be met in a national way by work provided tor tte unemployed at pre- j < ► vailing wages.' i Fapn Relief Planks j The two parties are father apart on the relief proposals than in the matter of • bounties to farmers.
