At the same time, employers with a good record of jobless claims against them will get a reduc tion in their rates. The law has been expanded to allow more persons to quality as in dependent contractors for un employment compensation purposes. A minimum wage of $1.25 per hour will take effect next January 1 for approximately 10,000 Oregon workers not covered by the federal law. Persons faced with bankrupt cy may appeal to circuit court to establish a program of 1 amortizing their debts over a period of time.

The state also now has funds earmarked to insure student loans, Com- munity colleges, while being curbed in areas where class room space is lacking, will get more state money and concentrate more on vocation al training. The latter is true partly because of passage of the new apprenticeship law this session. Oregon now will have a medical assistance program, supplemented with federal funds, for needy persons not covered by medicare. More public funds will go to help welfare recipients, blind per sons and those with other handicaps. Special education prorams will be able to hire “work experience coordinat ors” for training mentally re tarded persons. Aid to depend ent children is extended cover dependents in school to age 21. In daily life, citizens will have added protection against harrassing or threatening tel ephone calls. “Fresh” foods which have been pre-frozen must be so labeled in markets. Unpastuerized beer to go may be sold by Class A taverns if sealed in brewery containers. Campers are subject to trail er house sanitary laws in camping areas. These are but a handful of new Oregon law develop ments. Many are no doubt controversial, and in total they help represent the near ly 20 percent increase in the next biennium budget. Are the services worth the cost of government? Holding the lid on state expenditures is getting increasingly diffi cult, many observers of the Salem Scene agree, particu larly with federal dollar- matching programs becoming more available to states. In the final analysis, they say, it is an informed public, casting responsible votes, which is directly responsible for state services—and for holding the public nurse-strings.
