The city of Portland is out after her annual bath, according to reports, with the streets all nicely scrubbed and every one ready for a great year. The greatest loss was that of stopping business.

The Wa bash, white and other rivers are at a stage that any increase in the amount of water to be handled will be serious.

There is much to be done and the cooperation of every cne interested is desired. The proposal to give a $3,000 exemption on homes occupied by the, owners sounds good but it should be remembered that some one has to pay the taxes and we should all be fair. Equal distribution of the burden is proper. Any thing else is wrong whether we benefit or suffer from the change. It ft the hope of every good citizen that some way and somehow and soon John L. Lewis and William Knudsen will agree on some plait "under which the automobile plants can operate and every one be happy.

Jackson, I director. The number of employers filing reports has passed 6,300, with an estimated 620,000 employees covered by job insurance, Mr. Jackson said. More than three hundred employers have been added to the rolls since January 1. Generally speaking, employers of eight or more persons are gub [ pect to the state unemployment law and also to a federal pay roll tax levied in title IX of the social security act, against which contri buttons to the state unemployment fund may be credited, up to 90 pel cent of the federal tax. This fed I oral tax, levied at a rate of one I per cent on 1936 pay rolls, is dis tinct from the pay roll tax for old age benefits, Mr. Jackson pointed out, and is due by January 31. He warned that under federal regulations only those contribu tions to the state fund which have been made before the federal tax Is paid may be deducted. Contri butions at the rate of 1.2 per cent on pay rolls from April 1 to De cember 31, 1936, are required by • state law. Final state returns foi 1936 are due by January 20.

Benefits are payable to eligible • employees for unemployment after ’ April 1, 1938.
