PENSION PLAN DISCRIMINATES, ELLIOTT SAYS

Few Aged, G. 0. P. Candidate Claims.

Attacking the Federal old age pension law on grounds that it is discriminatory and wasteful, Homer Elliott, G. O. P. candidate for Congressman, spoke last *night, before the Nineteenth Ward Republican Club at 10th-st and King-av. “Old age benefits which the government will start paying Jan. 1, 1942, will not benefit véry many people,” Mr. Elliott charged, “because of provisions that a qualified person must be a wage earner, must earn at least $2000 between Jan. 1, 1937 and the time he reaches 65 and must not be more than 60 on next Jan, 1.”

. Claims Exclusions

Farmers, merchants, railroad men, school teachers, garage owners, lawyers, doctors, dentists, preachers, independent workmem, women who

have not been wage earners and | others are excluded by the law, Mr. | Elliott said. Persons: who have been wage earn-

ers but for some reason, such as| illness or "hard times, are not able to earn wages between Dec. 31, 1936, and the time they reach 65, are also ineligible, “no matter how old or how needy they may be,” the speaker stated. “This law will still leave most of the old and dependent people to the care of the state or local community,” he continued.

The law will eventually raise the national debt $14,000,000,000, Mr. Elliott said. The speaker quoted from the national Republican platform which proposes a pay-as-you-go policy for the support of the aged funds for which are to be raised by
