TEACHERS' FUNDiS INSOLVENT

Startling Disclosures as to Fi-nancial Condition Made

by Investigators.

CAN PAY ONLY 23C ON DOLLARSpecial Legislative Committee Makes

Report—Unless Legislature ActsIt Will Soon Be Impossible to

Pay Promised Annuities.

Madison,—Disclosures of a startlingnature were made by the special legis-lative committee which for the pasttwo years has been Investigating thelinaiieial condition of the teachers' re-tirement fund in this state.

The fund Is In such condition thatunless some steps are taken tit this jsession of the legislature to amend (he ilaw and place the fund on a solventbasis, It will soon he impossible to pay ithe annuities promised under the law. |

To pny the teachers In Wisconsinwho tiro at present contributing to thefund the benefits promised to themwhen they retire the sum of tfIH.HHI,-7HI. with Interest, from now on will heneeded.

To offset this obligation the re-sources of the fund consist of assetson hand, SHS.Y.tHMi; contributions of jteachers during the next HO years, sl,-lltll,OKl. together with all of the stateappropriations for the next Hi! years,which is equivalent to Sl,do.V_’!)2, mak-ing a total of $.'{,011,400.

Slated in other terms, if all present Imembers of (he retirement fund are;treated equitably, the fund t'ttu pay onlyCH cents on each dollar of promised ;helielils. To pay even this proportion ;to the present teachers will use op all iof their own contributions, til! of the;iieeiimulated assets anil all of the state ■appropriation for the next HO years, so

that now teachers would receive no us-slstaneo from the state during thatperiod.

Ft.der the law the state does notguarantee Ha* obligations of the fund |in any way; on the contrary, the lawrequires that tin* hoard of trustees of jthe retirement fund ratably reduce theannuities whenever, in the judgment ofthe hoard, the condition of the fundshall require such reduction. The ex :animation of the condition of tin* fundmade by the legislative committee |shows that a pro rata reduction of 'JHcents on the dollar will he necessary,unless the law is changed and addi-tional resources provided.

"If no change is made In the law,”said Senator Anlone Kuektik, chairmanof (ho legislative committee, “and an-nuities are paid to teachers now on ;the ret 1red list and those eligible, IIt means that the other 1 i.ddd teachersin Hie state must continue lo eontrih-tmle with little hope of ever receiving

a dollar of benefit for themselves."V hill to deal with Hie unemployment

situation will la* Introduced soonh.v Senator Henry A. Huber, Tills I * 11 1does not apply to fanners or employ-ees of the stale, cities, towns, villages

or school districts, or Individual em-ployers who hire less (ban three workmen.

(inly those who tire not able to ob-tain suitable employment are eligibleto receive unemployment compensationfor a limited period. Like Hu* work-men’s compensation act. which penal-izes Industries where workmen areforced to leave their work unem-ployed because of the liiek of safe-guards in Hie factory so this act pro-ehles that Indus) r,\ shall compensateworkmen temporarily when they areforced out of employment and are un-able to obtain other suitable employ-ment.

All employers that are not exempted.shall insure their liability for the pay-ment of unemployment compensationIn any mutual Insurance company thatIs already insuring or that is capableof Insuring employers’ liability underthe workmen's compensation act. Apremium Is put on good niunagemenl.Those employers that are most regularin the employment of their workmenpay the lowest premium.

No new commissions or stale ma-chinery will he necessary for execu-tion and administration of this act.The Industrial commission shall carefor the administration, In eo-operationwith the compensation Insuranceboard. The system will' functionthrough Iho stale free employment of-fices. Deputies already appointed h.vthe Industrial commission may passupon the applications for unemploy-ment compensation. In contested easesthe procedure Is similar to the workmen's compensation act. A state ad\ isory hoard of five, representing bothemployers and employees, shall he ap-pointed by the Industrial commissionto serve without pay, according toprovisions of the measure.
