The idea is not confined to utilization ©f waste and by-products, but to encourage employment by a demand for • , processing plants. Only feeble attempts have- been made by private groups. With Federal money to encourage study, hope is revived for progress in this direction. Prices for farm products are always important in an election year. Coincidental with the insistence of Chairman Harrison of the Senate Finance Committee that taxes must be broadened to provide new sources of revenue, a proposal is now ready to _V. extend benefits of social security laws to farmers and domestics. It is variously estimated that ten to sixteen million names would be added to the lists of beneficaries if these classes are included; Opposition is expected be. cause operators of farms did not take kindly to the plarf when originally 5roac>ed some years ago. Senator Harrison's warning to the spenders that economy was necessary to prevent new levies on wage-earners, who 5™ heretofore been exempt from Federal taxation, has fallen on deaf ears. The extension of the social security is considered a partial recogni- • tion of the current wave for higher pensions for the unemployed. Soberininded officials are genuinely concerned at the tendency to increase fue rate 'of outgo from the Treasury without a thought as to revenue to meet obliga- - tions incurred by the spenders.
