The game started out at a
rather slow pace with the Mus

DEADWOOD IN CONSTITUTION
Rep Shirley Field (Rep Port
land) wants to shorten Oregon's
constitution. Oregon government
has been confortably situated In
a Capital building for more than
80 years since an admonition
was put Into the constitution that
such a building be erected be
fore 1865. Oregon has had two
Capitols since the admonition,
the present one and the one
built In 1876.
Rep Field has introduced a res
olution in the Legislature to
place a measure on the ballot
to eliminate the ancient provis
ion at the next general election.
The provision was a hot po
tato when adopted. A running
fire battle for the capital, be
tween Salem, Corvallis and Eu
gene, went on in the Legislature
for 20 years after the first sub
stantial Capitol was burned in
Salem In 1855.
RESPECTS STATE SEAL
The large bronze replica of the
State Seal of Oregon in the ro
tunda of the Capitol has again
received the protection of a low
chain fence to keep visitors and
others from walking on it.
A similar protection was used
for several years but was remov
ed. The present chain was the
result of one of the first orders
of Secretary of State Howell
Appling after taking office.
TAX COMMISSION MAY GO
Reorganization of state govern
ment and an amendment to the
Oregon Constitution to give the
state an annual legislative sess
ion has been offered for Legis
lative consideration in a 15-bill
package.
The key measure, which has
the approval of Gov Mark Hat
field and Ex-Gov Robert Holmes,
was recommended by the Inter
im Committee on Government
lie-organization. It would give
the governor broad powers to
order reorganization in executive
department, boards and commis
sions, subject to veto of such

THE PATHFINDERS
On December 31, in place of
our regular Wednesday night
meeting we had a New Year's
Eve party. Entertainment includ
ed volleyball games, roller skat
lng, relays, and other games. We
now hold our meetings in the
new combination gym and Path
finder hall in back of the Ad
ventist church. Apples and pop
corn balls were served as refresh
ments. We are finishing up our glori
fied glass pictures and in a few
weeks, Mrs Wagner announced
we will be starting on two new
crafts: leather craft (purses and
belts) and feather corsages.
We are striving to make points
which enable us to go on outings.
They are earned by wearing our
uniforms to the meetings, good
conduct during the meetings, and
progressive classwork.

Unemployment Tax
Rate Expected to
Stay at High Level
Oregon employers will con
tinue paying a 2.7 per cent un
employment tax through the first
quarter of 1959, and probably for
"some time to come," says the
State Unemployment Compen
sation Commission.
The Unemployment Compen
sation trust fund held $27,812,472
on December 31. Had the fund
been above the $31.4 million
"floor" at the end of the year,
firms assigned experience rates
below 2.7 per cent because of
steady employment histories
would use those rates. However,
it Is almost certain that the trust
fund will remain below the floor
at least until seasonal employ
ment reaches its peak later in
1959.
A year ago at this time the
fund totalled over $41 million.
But record breaking benefit pay
ments drained it to $22 M million
within six months.
Employers are reminded that
state unemployment reports and
tax payments for the fourth
quarter of 1958 must be sent in
postmarked not later than Jan- j
uary 31, 1959. Firms subject to1
Federal excise tax on their pay- j
rolls are particularly cautioned
to meet this deadline to avoid ,
additional Federal charges. An
employer is subject to Federal
excise tax if he has employed
four or more people for as much
as one day a week In any
twenty weeks during the year.
David H Cameron, supervisor of
contributions for the State Unem
ployment Compensation Commis
sion says, "Any employer who
has problems completing either
his state unemployment form or
Federal excise form 940 should
contact an employment security
field auditor through his local
office of the Oregon State Em
ployment Service.

report by the agency's supervisor,

Many farmers are using loan
funds to make improved use of
their land and labor resources
and to make needed changes in
their farming systems. The loans
help farmers pay for equipment,
livestock, feed, seed fertilizer,
and other farm and home operat

credit is supplied on the basis of
supplementing credit from other
sources. The loans are available
only when other lenders are not
able to provide the applicant with
adequate credit on terms he
could reasonably be expected to
meet.
Most farmers are in a position
within five years to repay their
loan and secure credit from con
ventional lenders.
Farm housing loans are also
available to construct or repair
farm houses or other farm build
ings. Farm housing loans are re
payable over periods up to 33
years at 4 percent interest, and
are secured by a first or second
mortgage on the farm.
Further Information on the
loans may be obtained at the
county office of the Farmers
