Officials Concerned Over Shrinking Jobless Funds
By PAUL HARVEY
SALEM W Stace officials are
becoming concerned about the de
clining Unemployment Trust Fund,
and it looks as though this whole
matter of unemployment insurance
will be a top issue of the I955
Legislature.
The Unemployment Trust Fund
is the fund from which benefits
aro paid to unemployed persons.
The fund is built up. by payroll
taxes paid by employers.
This fund now totals 62 million
dollars, having shrunk from a high
mark of 86 millions in November,
1948. That isn't good.
The fund is shrinking because
payments to the unemployed are
far greater than the payroll taxes
that go into the fund. .
In the first nine months of this
year, the payroll taxes totaled 9
million dollars. But in that same
period, 19 millions were taken out
of the fund to pay the unemployed.
In the past five years, the.! has
been only one year in which the
fund took in more money than it
paid out. That was last year.
Anybody knows you can't go on
forever paying out twice what you
take in. There has to be a reckon
ing some time.
The Unemployment Compensa
Hon Commission predicts the fund
will drop to 50 millions by next
March. By 1957, it is expected the
fund will be down to 25 or 30 mil.
lions. At this point, the taxes on
employers automatically would' bo

1.1 per cent tax rate,
In trie past three years, the an
nual rate of .payroll taxes on em
ployers has fallen from 13 to 11
millions, while the benefits paid to
unemployed have risen from 10 to
la millions a year.
The maximum unemployment
benefits now . are $25 a week for
26 weeks in any one year. The
average Is $22.40 a week, com
pared with a national average of
$24.
Labor will ask for larger bene
fits, as it has in every Legislature
in the 17-year history of unemploy
ment insurance.
President Elsenhower recently
asked that the states increase the
maximum benefits to $35 a week.
To make this increase in Oregon
would mean an increase in the tax
on employers, who don't like It.
To some people, a fund of 6
million dollars sounds like a lot
of money. But It could be drained
quickly in any prolonged period of
large-scale unemployment.
Sometimes, especially during
legislative sessions, you hear a lot
about chiselers.
There are two kinds: Employers
who evade their payroll taxes, and
workers who fraudulently claim
compensation when they aren't en
titled to it.
The commission now Is trying
to collect more than $800,000 in
back taxes owed by employers.
Its overpayments to workers
last year totaled $65,090.
The commission says it will get
back most of the money from both
sources.

Trees, water, grazing, game and
recrearion-these are the crops of
our forests.
They provide thousands of jobs and
millions of dollars for Klamath's
economy. They also offer the
greatest recreation playgrounds in the
world.
But forests become dry during the
warm seasons. Sometimes the fire
danger becomes so acute the woods
must be closed to public travel, for
it takes but a few seconds for a tiny
spark to become a raging, terrifying,
destructive inferno.
By taking care of our forests,
we are providing security for the future
of everyone of us.
