"i. - Extensive aid In improving the financial status of .the state in- Anstrial accident commission Is ekpected to be derived fronvthe pew merit rating -plan, 11 was - stated Saturday by Albert Hunter, member of the commission. The new merit rating system becomes effective July .1 , and robablv will continue indeClnlt ly,-There, also, will b. a slight In crease In the. rates anecung em nlovera on that date. .1 r Hunter said the most noticeable rate Increases ' involved various classifications of the lumber and logging Industry. These increases- were necessary, he said, Because et the hazards involved in the in d us try and the fact that awards under - some ot inese cussiwcb' lions had exceeded the contribu tions J In some cases the rates af- fectlar farm operations have been increased 25 cents per 1100 of protection. .." . . .. Industries Hay Gala . ; . If Accident Few -- ; As an offset against the rate Increases the commission, has ad opted a plan whereby . Industries reporting a low. percentage of .ac- eidents will receive substantial re funds. Ia many of these- cases the industries will pay less than the base rate now in effect. Industries which have a high volume of ac cldenta "and : where no improve ment of working conditions is no ticeable, will be made to pay a penalty, :..-';;. Experience tables ? worked out by the commission indicate that . the possible reduction in accidents under the new merit rating will reduce materially the awards un - der the present, operating system, and will tend to increase the ac cident fund. The slightly higher rates also will Increase the re- . eeipts. ' : - - r. . ' Hunter declared that it was nec essary to revise the financial set up ot the commission because of the present unsatisfactory condi- uons and the fact that many mills hare suspended operations. Fig ares of the commission show that the lumber industry always has contributed the largest percentage of its receipts. The low ebb ot receipts ot the commission was during the past eight months. Ecouony Program Fband Beneficial - The. commission sometime ago adopted an economy program which has saved the employers a large amount of money. The op erating personnel was - reduced to the minimum,-while wages were cut from 18 to 40 per cent. Sev eral units within the department r were eliminated entirely. Officials estimated that this saving exceed ed . $10,000 ; during the past 10 .Another huge saving was made possible through elose scrutiny of medical and hospital bill. A new schedule of doctor's fees was ad . opted a few months ago, and con tracts for hospital service were re vised downward. Close examina tion of injured workmen and im mediate medical attention also served to reduce materially the Central costs charged against the accident fund. IDE More than 250 persons attend ed last Sunday afternoon's vesper service held at the First Evangel ical church under auspices of the young people.

IS 0.- 00 and $100,000 per camp for the six-month period, or between five ; and six million dollars for the en tire set-up in six months. - So Lynn P. Cronemiller, Oregon state forester, told the chamber of commerce members at the Mon day, luncheon session,' In speaking on "A Joy for Paul Bunyan.:: Mr. Cronemiller, who returned recent ly from a- conference in Washing ton to arrange for the national forest 'project, likened this move to put men to work to the gigan tic accomplishments of the mythi cal Paul Bunyan. In the 7 camps to be estab lished in Oregon, two of which are in the Crater Lake national park, IS, 400 men will be em ployed, with -only 2.000 of these Oregon's quota. Despite protesta tions of labor to the one dollar per day wages set, the youths who work in the camps will have equivalent ot a fair wage, as sup plies and food will bring the "wage" to around the $3.20 fig ure, the state forester declared. Youths who enroll tor the work may be released it a better job opens up, or tor good cause. The men will draw $30 per month, of which minimum of 122 will be sent to dependents. They will work five days per week, and eight hours per day. No military training will be given the men in camps, though supervised games and . setting up exercises will be arranged. Prior to transportation to the camps, the men will undergo a two-weeks conditioning period 'at army camps. Fort Stevens will handle 0 men; Fort Lewis, 2800: and - Vancouver barracks, 800 of the enrolled. Thorough physical examinations will be given the men, not only for fitness but also for safety, since that the men will come under the federal compen sation act. Although the movement was primarily as a relief measure, Mr. Cronemiller feels that the Oregon five-year forestry program will be materially advanced by the con servative corps, and that consid erable remedy of tire hazards will be one result. Of the 87 Oregon camps, nine will be established in the Willam- tor of the church, and in recent weeks has been developing a spe cial sermon series on the book of Matthew. A recently organized brass band played at the Sunday school ser vices Sunday for the first time. W. E. Rauhut is director.
