TEN MEDFORD (OREGON MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, May I, 1955 Erickson To Quit State Health Job Unless Pay Hiked Portland OJ.R5 Dr. Harold M. Erickson, Oregon state health officer, Saturday confirmed re ports that he would resign un less the Legislature raises his salary. Harry Dorman, state finance director, had mentioned that Dr. Erickson would quit his post in statements to the legislative Joint Ways and Means Commit tee recently. ' The health officer said he has had several offers in the last two years for jobs in the field of medical administration. He turned them down, he said, be cause he felt the Legislature would do something about salary schedules which he feels are too low. "It is not only my salary that is too low," Dr. Erickson said. "But the salaries of the other doctors working in my depart ment are too low. The Barring ton Report pointed up some of these inequities, but the Legis lature is ignoring them." Dr. Erickson said the state health officers in Washington and Montana get $15,000 a year and the assistant health officer in Washington gets . $13,000, whilp H5 own salary is $12,000.

BREATHE PURE FRESH AIR WITH DUSTRONIC A Registered Trademark of th RAD EX CORPORATION Workmen Accident Payment Increased Effective Today Salem Workmen's contribu tions to the Industrial Accident Fund have been increased by act of the Legislature from one to two cents per day upon the signing of House Bill 555, it has been announced by the Indus trial Accident Commission. Effective today, employers un der the Workmen's Compensa tion Law will be required to re tain from workmen's wages two cents for each day or part of a day worked and forward these contributions monthly to the In dustrial Accident Commission. The workmen's contribution for volunteer firemen, and for em ployers and corporate officers who have filed elections to be come entitled to benefits as workmen, is also increased from 30 cents per month to 60 cents per month. Placed in Reserve One half of the workmen's contributions under the amend ed law are to be placed in the "Retroactive Relief Reserve." This reserve is to be used to increase monthly pension pay ments to widows of fatally in jured workmen, and to totally disabled workmen, above the amounts specified in the Law in effect at the time the fatal or disabling accident occurred, it was stated. Initially, some 1,470 individ uals will benefit by having their pensions restored to the July 1, 1947, level. These individuals are entitled to pensions under various benefit schedules in ef fect from 1913 to 1947. The 1949 legislature initiated a system of increasing these benefits from surplus funds accumulated by the Industrial Accident Commis sion. In March of 1955 the Attor ney General ruled that the method of increasing these bene fits which had been utilized since 1949 was unconstitutional. Increased From March 1 House Bill 555 provides that the above pensions be increased from March 1, 1955.
