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.

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. The com
mission announced that June
