' r . ;" i .,-- ' ... ' ' ' '-. ... . . . ' , Oregon employers who owe any contributions to the Oregon unem ployment compensation benefit fund for the years 1936, 1937 and 1938 can rave themselves consid erable money by paying their de linquencies by October 9, Admin istrator Silas Gaiser said Wednes day. - October 9 ends a new "grace period" for the granting of credit against federal unemployment compensation taxes on amounts paid under the state act for those years. Unless employers pay all delin quencies, including interest by Oc tober 9, they will have to pay twice, once to the state and again to the federal government By virtue of the amendments of 1939. pased by congress and signed by the president August 10, those who were late with their contributions for 1936, 1937 or 1938 but who have since paid them, both to the state and fed eral government are entitled to refunds for the amounts paid to to the latter. . Pay now, Urged Under a provision of the social security act the United States government levied an excise tax of 3 per cent on the payrolls of employers of eight or more per sons. The law also provided that an employer could deduct from this federal tax all contributions paid into a state unemployment fund up to 90 per cent of the fed eral tax. To get this credit off set, however, the employer was obliged to pay all amounts due the state on or before January 30 of the year following that in which the taxable wages were paid. Now, congress has extended this period in which to claim the off set credit to October 9. Kinr David Pleasant and state w v c..i m T WU1VUI.

Japan in bad Jam Traveler Asserts Credentials Great Aid in Visiting Orient Avers . John J. Landsbury Japan has gotten itself into a "terrible jam." according te Dr. John J. Landsbury of Eugene, who addressed the Salem Rotary club Wednesday noon. Speaking as a sincere friend of both Japan and China, he compared Japan's invasion to the act of trampling upon a bed of quicksand. Dr. Landsbury gave unstinted praise to the hospitality of the Japanese people, but advised per sons planning to travel there to obtain all possible credentials, in cluding a letter from the gover nor "complete with seals and rib bon," and to call upon tbe Japa nese consul in Portland before leaving. These precautions will not only make travel pleasant but will bring more material benefits, he asserted. Discussing .travel in general. Dr. Landsbury said the proper viewpoint is that of seeking mut ual understanding with the peoples of other lands, that the traveler may become "a part of more than his own locality." In this connection he should remem ber that while abroad he is the "custodian of his own country's good name." Cities. Sdh! Maying S
