My dear Constituents:
I came to Congress with the de
termination in my mind to make
a study of all matters where n
our section of the country might
be discriminated against. This in
eluded the question of freight
rites and many others, but espe
daily was I anxious to find some
way whereby the old people of
our section might receive as much

Congrev*iii«ni
from the Federal Treasury in the
way of “Old Age Assistance” as do
the aged people of any other State
My investigations on this sub
i ect revea! some signfiicant facts.
Under the “Social Security Act
Amendments of 1939". Title 1. it
ls provided that where a State nas
a well defined and organized plan
for old-age assistance, approved by
Social Security Board, the
Secretary of the Treasury shall
P a V *° eac ^ State an amount.
-
which shall be used exclusively as
cld-age assistance, equal to one
half of the total of the sums
pended -as old age assistance un
her the State plan with respect
to each needy individual who at
::ie time of s. ch expenditure is
- xty five >ears of age or older
..: o « not an inmate of a public
i. r not counting so much
V expend:: re with respect ;
to ary .tubvidual for any month
a? exceeds S40 and 5 per centum
of such amount, which shall be
used for paying the costs of ad
ministering the State plart or for
old age assistance or both, and for
no other purpose.” It simply
means that the Federal govern
ment pays half of the old age as
sistance paid by the State, plus
five per cent of same for adminis
tration, up to $40 per month. In
other words, if the State of Geor
gia was able to pay $20 per month
to its needy people 65 years of
age and older, the United States
Government would add another
$20, and the old persons would
receive $40 per month.
This law is working a great
hardship on our section of the
country. The average of old age
assistance paid in the United
States is $20.10 per month, and no
Southern State has been able to
pay this average. The last avail
able figures show that no State
has been able to pay the full $40
per month, although California is
almost doing so, paying each of
its ageds the sum of $37.95 per
The last month for which
the figures are announced show
that California paid thp sum of
$5,381,705, to 142,792 persons. This
means that the Federal Govern
ment paid $2,690,852 50 that month
to old people in California, while
in the same month Georgia paid
its old pepole only an average of
$8.00 per month, paying out only
$225,948 to 28.243 people, and re
ceiving only $112,974 from the
Federal Treasury. At this rate in
one year California will receive
from the United States Govern
ment $32,290,230.00 while Georgia
receives only $1,355,688.00.
Twenty eight States are paying
less than the average of $20.10
per month. To give you some idea
as to how it runs, California leads
with $37.95 per month, and the
next nine are as follows—Colora
do, $33.75; Massachusetts, $28.43:
Alaska $28.06; Arizona. $27 69;
Connecticut, $26.91; Nevada.
$26.54; New York, $25.56; District
of Columbia, $25.50; and Wyom
ing $23.71. Arkansas pays the
least with $7.57 per month, Geor
gia is next to the bottom with
$8.00 per month, and the next
eight lowest are South Carolina
$8.24; Mississippi $8.30: Kentucky
$8.74; Alabama $9.35; Virginia
$9.82; Tennessee $10.08; North
Carolina $10.14 and Texas $10.31.
You can call the roll of the
Southern States by starting at the
bottom of this list and reading up
the line until you have read fif
teen states.
When you discuss this situation
here they all say it is just up to the
States. I don’t feel that way about
it. I think the Federal govern
ment’s part of this program should
be equalized, and paid direct to
the old people. Then if the States
are able to match it, they can
do so, or they can supplement it
as far as possible, but under the
present plan, the Southern States
are not able to pay the average, so
our people are really penalized. 1
will write more on this subject
next week.
Sincerely,
A. Sidney Camp, M. C.
It used to be that when the
starter on a man’s car wouldn’t
i work he got out and cranked

until somebody comes along to give
i him a push.
