State officials who would like to meet the going wage and keep experienced employes are stym ied as all departments, (with the exception of the self-sustaining boards) are on a salary budget made by the 1949 legislature ap plying wage scales prevalent in 1948. The emergency board affords the only avenue of relief, howev er, the bottom of the emergency fund barrel has been in sight for two months. State employes have good working conditions in which to improve their earning abilities and become more valuable to the state with continuous emplay ment. When the state loses trained workers it loses money by disruption of organization and in the training of new workers.

OUR TAXES NEAR TOP When the federal census bu reau this week reported Oregon taxes are the seventh highest in the country, even the tax-wise state tax commissioners were as. tonished. Oregon's taxes were $75.98 per person. Washington's $97.76 per capita in state taxes is the highest in the country. Louisiana is second, and California third with $91.41. New Jersey has the lowest tax. es, per person. TAX REFUNDS UNCLAIMED More than 5,000 Oregon people who over estimated and overpaid their 1949 income tax moved with out leaving a forwarding address. The state income tax commission has that number of checks that have been returned.
