Mr. Currie was a patient in the Wingham and District Hos- Pension Poor BY C. J. HARRIS It may be of no direct con- cern to Canadians but there should be great interest here in the ten-year record ofpre-elec- t i o n tinkering with the Social Security pension program in the United States. In every other year since 1054 -- that is, in every year of a congressional election -- changes have been made in the U.S. public pen- sion program. Ten years ago the maximum annual pension contribution was $112. It is now $348. If present pre- election proposals are enacted, it will immediately increase to •410, and will he raised to $518 in 1971. The Social Security pro- gram, like the proposed Cana- da Pension Plan, is a wage- re- lated scheme based on equal contributions from insured em- ployees and their employers. When it started in 10:37 the rate of contributions for the U.S. pension was two per cent on the first $3,000 of earnings, or a maximum ,annual contribution of $60. The act provided for gradual increases up to a rate of six per cent. As noted above, however, every recent election campaign has brought promises of extended benefits -- and, of course a corresponding increase in costs. The act now provides for a rate of contributions of 9.25 per cent on the first $4, 800 of earnings, and it it proposed to raise this to 9.6 per cent on the first $5,400 of earnings, or a maximum annu- al contribution of $518. As most recently proposed, the rate of contributions for the Canada Pension Plan would be 3.6 per cent of the first $5,000 of earnings, or a maximum an- nual contribution of $180. The first year cost of this new pen- sion tax is estimated at $600 million; this, of course, would be additional to the cost of the eeisting Old Age Secur- ity pension, which is $900 mil- lion in the current year. Welfare Minister LaMarsh has acknowledged the danger that political parties will try to buy cotes with promises of higher pensions. As a control the government proposes to tie the Canada Pension to living costs, with pension increases litnited to increases in the cost - of -living index. In all trtith, that suggestion seems totally inadequate. But if pension costs are not controlled, the worker -- particularly the younger man with children to raise and a home to buy -- will find himself pension poor. pital for the past two weeks and is much improved. Mr. and Mrs, Garnet Farrier and Janis arrived home on Fri- day evening after a week tour- ing the Thousand Islands, King- ston and ending at Montreal from whence they returned home.
