Job Insurance
Tax Due Soon
Payment Slated in April
For First 3 Months;
Compile Records
Employers In Oregon will be
asked to pay their first unemploy
ment insurance fund taxes in April
for the three month's period pre
ceding that month. Thereafter the
tax reports will be made monthly,
it was learned yesterday at the
offices of the state unemployment
compensation commission here.
T. Morris Dunne, one of the
three commissioners charged with
enforcement of the act, said em
ployers were responding excellent
ly to the request of the commis
sion for assistance In making
plans for collection of the tax.
Dunne and other members of the
commission have been meeting
with groups of employers and dis
cussing with them the particular
problems of each Industry as re
gards the tax.
Employers at the outset will
register with the commission and
will receive a notice from the
commission, to be posted in his
establishment, showing that he is
registered under the state unem
ployment act. This notice must be
posted in all businesses where
four or more employes, are en
gaged.
Keep Records Row
While no benefits will be paid
until January 1, 1938 the com
mission will begin at once to- com
pile data from employers regard
ing the time a man ends his em
ployment with a firm. This data
will be kept as a basis for deter
mining future benefints. By 1941
the commission will fluctuate the
tax on Industry according to the
unemployment experience rating
of the Industry, firms which have
kept their unemployment to a min-
imun being granted a superior
rate of tax.
Dunne said yesterday that the
commission sought to keep the re
ports" from employers to a mini
mum of detail. He said he was
hopeful employers would not be
required to keep special books
from which to make up their pay
roll accounts for the commission.
To aid In understanding of the
unemployment insurance act, the
new commission has compiled a
summary of questions and answers
on the new measures and copies
are available without charge to
any citizens who desire them.
The unemployment department
of the accident commission is to
set up its offices on the fifth
floor of the state office building
in quarters heretofore occupied by
the state utilities commissioner.

Milk Quality
Here Is Good
Bacteria Count Slightly
Higher Last 6 Months
But Not Alarming
Bacterial count of milk sold
in Salem during the last six
months' grading period increased
slightly over that of the previous
period, which ended July 15,
1935, but continued far below
the maximum provided by city
ordinance, John L. Geren, county
dairy and food inspector, announ
ced yesterday.
Whereas the city milk code al
lows a maximum of 30,000 bac
teria per cubic centimeter, pas
teurized milk here averaged but
7400 and raw milk only 11,500
during the grading period which
ended last Wednesday, Geren
pointed out. The increase, he
said, probably was due to the
fact that this grading period in
cluded the hot weather months.
The number of milk distribu
tors supplying Salem has not
changed during the past six
months, according to Geren, who
said that only grade "A" raw
and grade "A" pasteurized may
be sold to consumers here under
the city code, which is based on
the standard milk ordinance of
the United States public health
service. A few producers ot grade
"B" milk, which may be sold
only for such purposes as eva
poration, cheese and butter mak
ing, dropped out of the Salem
market during the grading per
iod. Dairies are Listed
Geren announced the dairies
and their qualifications, based on
inspections and sample tests he
made, as follows:
Grade "A" pasteurized milk
Capitol Dairies, Curley's Dairy.
Dave's Independent Dairy, Hazel
Dell Pairy, Meadow Grove Dairy,
Pleasant Home Dairy, Producers

Overhead Reduced
The state has reduced its con
tingency costs greatly in the last
decade in building roads, the
speaker said. In the period 1924-
1932, on the average, 17 per
cent was added to each contract
far engineering tees and tor con
tingencies. In 1933 the state cut
this sum to eight and one-half per
cent; in 1934 it was reduced te
four and one-half per cent. Care
ful planning to eliminate contin-
gecy costs brought this reduction,
Baldock said.
Mr. Baldock outlined briefly
the status of roads tributary to
the Salem area. He said federal
forest money totalling $770,000
had already been spent on the
North Santiam road with $100,
000 allotted for this year. A three
mile gap in the road will be closed
with the new appropriation. The
road will then be opened with
hard-surface available north of
the junction with the South San
tiam, to the top ot the mountain.
From there north the road will be
oiled, in part, and in some stretch
es it will be surfaced with rough
rock. The road Is surfaced on the
immediate stretch above Detroit.
The Gates-Detroit road remains a
narrow, mountain road. Baldock
estimated that $900,000 would be
required to remake the road be
tween Gates and Detroit.

Four hundred thousand dollars
will be necessary to close the ex
isting gap on the South Santiam
road, Baldock estimated. He said
$549,000 in state funds and
$436,000 in forest road funds had
already been spent on that road
with another $100,000 in federal
funds to go on the road this year.
Baldock said the N'orth and South
Santiam loop drives would make
lovely trips for Salem people when
the roads are completed. Lakes.

all will be clearly visible on this
route to the mountains, the speak
er declared.
Steady improvement is being
made on Highway 99 the "great

Portland - Eugene stretch had
brought appropriations of $3,262,
000 in the last two years with $1.
255, 000. additional being set aside
this year.
Baldock said the short-cut for
Salem people to the coast was the
Wallace Bridge - Valley Junction

allocated fot paving this road this
year, while $285,000 and $100,-
000 has theretofore been expend
ed in improving the grade.
