Increase, Report
Commercial Acreage For
Coast States Set
at 26,200
A 12 per cent Increase in the
strawberry acreage (or 1936 over
1935 in the Pacific Coast and
Mountain states is reported by
the federal division of crops es
timates, with the picking acreage
for 1936 estimated at 26,200

this estimate include California,
Washington, Oregon and Utah.
For the entire county, the 1936
commercial strawberry acreage is
estimated to be 182,000 acres,
which is 11 per cent larger than
the 1935 acreage, though only
slightly above the five-year aver
age. The 1936 acreage will be
three per cent under 1932. seven
per cent under 1933 and eight per
cent under 1934.
The acreage for picking this
year over the country, will run
about 99 per cent in new beds, 29
per cent in second-year beds and
12 per cent in older beds. This
Indicates an expansion in new-bed
acreage of 14,000 acres over last
year.
. Although no accurate forecast
on production can be given so ear
ly in the year, there is now pros
pects for- a crop three per cent
above the total output of about
285,504,000 quarts in 1935.
In the western states, the 1936
acreage will be about 33 per cent
first-year beds, 42 per cent sec-nod-year
beds; and 25 per cent
older beds. The condition of all
beds on October 1, 1935, was 78
per cent of normal compared to
80 per cent a year earlier.

Straight Time Is
Charge For Audit
The state's bill for a three
months' audit of Marion county
tax collection books cajne to $512,
the county court was informed
this week.
The state auditing department
said this sum was the exact cost
of the audit to the state in wages
paid auditors, plus a fair share of
the overhead cost of the state au
diting office. The same scale of
charges was made as is assessed
to the various audits made of
state departments.
The county court has set up
$700 for audits but this sum was
supposed to cover all departments
at the courthouse. An additional
sum will be needed from the
emergency funds of the county.
The state auditing department
announced yesterday that an au
dit would shortly be started for
Curry county at the latter's re
quest. - Leaving For Yakima
SILVERTON, Jan. 1. Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Larson (Rossie Math

Employers Must
Set Upeserves
Unemployment Tax Now
Is Effective; Levy Is
1 Per Cent, '36
While forms have not yet been
prepared for keeping records on
the state unemployment insurance
tax, employers should at once be
gin to keep records of the moneys
spent each week or month for
payrolls, the state industrial acci
dent commission has announced.
The' unemployment insurance act
for Oregon became operative yes
terday. All employers with more
than four employes are taxable at
the rate of nine-tenths of one per
cent on the aggregate payrolls. In
addition a one-tenth of one per
cent tax will be levied by the fed
eral government, making an ag
gregate tax in 1936 of one per
cent on payrolls, all Payable by
employers.
In 1937 the aggregate tax be
comes two per cent; in 1938 it
becomes three per cent.
The state is beginning to or
ganize Its machinery for collect
ing this tax. Quarters will prob
ably be provided in the offices
formerly occupied by the utilities
commissioner who is now moving
to hew quarters downtown in Sa
lerri. An initial appropriation of
$15,000 was made by the 1935
special session to administer the
tax collection. Reimbursement of
this fund will come from moneys
the federal government is expect
ed to appropriate at the forth
coming session. .
It Js the undertaking here that
eventually all moneys for collect
ing the unemployment tax and
for. disbursement payments under
it they are not to be made un
til 1938 will come from federal
moneys. Workers in the tax col
lection department will probably
receive higher scale of pay than
is afforded by the state.

'Tountend Party Goal
Of Many Person Who
Register For Election
Many inquiries for the "Town
send party" were made by persons
registering at the courthouse this
week, it was learned yesterday.
Clerks asking voters their politi
cal faith were met with a response
that they wanted" to register as
members of the "Townsend par
ty." Since no party of that name
is formally organised in .Oregon,
voters were told that they must
either register as a member of
one of the established parties or
must register independent.
Registration for the January
31 special election here ' will be
about 2000 less in Marlon county
than for the last general election
held here, the county clerk's of
fice reported.
Final registration figures will
not be available until today. The
clerk's office was crowded Tues
day with last-minute voters com-
