BILLION IN PAYROLLS
As a thermometer of the econo
my of Oregon the monthly re
port of the state unemployment
commission is tops.
The commission's current re
port contains the totals on last
year's employment Some em
ployers are slow in reporting,
it seems.
In 1950 the annual payroll re
cord for Oregon was broken with
a total of $1,049,540,700.
The average monthly employ
ment was 313,465. This is within
3 per cent of the wartime record
made when 90,000 were engaged
in shipbuilding alone.
Two monthly records for em
ployment were broken last year,
in August and December.
"MINING CLAIM" RACKETS
There continue to be a good
many persons and firms who are
filing "mining claims" on timber
land in Western states only to
sell the timber, according to re
ports made at the annual conven
tion of the Interstate Association
of Public Land Counties.
Congressional action was urg
ed by the members present at
the convention.
AUTHORITY OF GOVERNOR
The governor, under the state
civil defense law, has authority
to proclaim a state emergency in
case of disaster, either war-caused
or natural in origin which is
too great to be handled by local
althorities, Attorney General
George Neuner ruled this week.
Civil defense workers, if they
are employees of the state, would
receive compensation incidental
to their employment, Neuner
wrote. If not employed by the
state or its political subdivisions
they would be reimbursed for all
actual necessary traveling and
subsistence expenses.
EXPERT ADVICE SOUGHT
A survey of the Oregon state
penitentiary will be made in the
near future by Austin MacCorm
ack, if this nationally-known pri
son expert accepts a call for his
services made this week by the
state board of control.
MacCormack, now a professor
of criminology at the University
of California, was the subject of
a signal article in a recent issue
of the Saturday Evening Post.
His classification of a "good
prison" is one which has a care
fully classified segregation of in
mates, efficient educational facil
ities, requires an honest day's
work, holds to firm discipline
without brutality and no favorit
ism dictated by politicians.
LABOR DEMAND DROPS
The state employment service
reported Monday that the de
mand for farm labor is consider
ably under earlier estimates,
largely on account of cool wea
ther that delayed the ripening of
berries, cherries and peas.
The warm weather of the past
week-end brought farm labor de
mands from the Freewater-Pen-dleton
district for 300 pea har-
