Compensation
Plan for State
Jobless
Ready
Measure to Be Presented at the Com
ing Special Session Provides a
Means of Raising Funds.
Nebraska's first unemployment
compensation bill was being drafted
Friday at Lincoln.
Based on a tentative record of busi
ness and labor Interests, It will be
presented to the special session of
the legislature to supplement the fed
eral social security act.
First details provide a maximum
payment of $225 to an unemployed
person in any one year. To finance
the program, employers would be tax
ed .9 of 1 percent on their 1936 pay
roll, 1.8 per cent of 1937 pay rolls
and 2.7 per cent on pay rolls each
year thereafter. Employes would be
taxed one-half of l per cent in 1936,
1 per cent in 1937, and 1.5 per cent
each year thereafter.
Tax Schedule. ,
The tax would apply to every bus!
ness with one or more regular em
ployes.
The feleral government will tax
employers in all states 1 per cent in
1936, 2 per cent in 1937 and 3 per
cent thereafter, but allows offsets up
to 90 per cent to employers who con
tribute to a state system.
First payments to persons thrown
out of work would not be made until
1938, as provided In the federal act.
First state tax payments, estimated
to total more than $2,400,000 on the
1936 tax scale, would be due in Janu
ary, 1937.
50 Per Cent Maximum.
A person thrown out or work
would be allowed payments of 50 per
cent of his normal wage, with a max
imum payment of $15 a week, but for
not more than 15 weeks in any year.
Before becoming eligible, however,
he would have to have been employed
for at least 400 hours in the preced
ing 52 weeks or at least 800 hours
in the preceding 104 weeks by the
same employer.
The plan is not unemployment in
surance but "unemployment compen
sation." Taxes paid by each employer
and his employes would go into an
individual fund. If that individual
fund was, exhausted, "'no draft's ? would
be permitted on the taxes paid by an
other employer.
Whenever the Individual fund
reached 7 per cent of the pay roll,
taxes on its contributors stop, resum
ing again when the fund fall3 below
7 per cent.
Dual Benefit.
Conferees see a dual benefit in this
plan. ' Employers, they said, would
try to stabilize employment in order
to keep from replenishing their
funds. Employes, it was argued,
would co-operate in helping dis
charged persons find other jobs in
order to prevent depletion of the
fund.
The plan adopts exemptions sug
gested by the federal act. No taxes
or benefits would be involved in the
case of agricultural workers, chil
dren and employers, or employes of
governmental agencies or education
al, religious or charitable organiz
ations. The peak unemployment in
Nebraska in recent years is estimated
at 75,000 but only a fraction of these
would have qualified.
Payments would not start until at
least three weeks after the bene
ficiary loses his job.
No person would be required to
take the place of a striker, nor would
a striker be entitled to payments.
Commission of Three,
The plan would be administered
by a commission of three, appointed
by the governor one representing
employes, one employers and the
third a neutral person. No salary
was decided, but $3,600 is a tenta
tive figure.
The bill is being drafted by George
E. Price, Lincoln attorney, who draft
ed the senate's bill last session. He
expects to have it ready about Sat
urday noon, when It will be present
ed again to the conference. At Thurs
day's conference were representatives
of the Nebraska Manufacturers asso
ciation, the Nebraska Federation of
Labor, the Lincoln and Omaha Cen
tral Labor unions, the Iowa-Nebraska
Light and Power Co., the Northwest
ern Bell Telephone Co. and business
men of Lincoln, Omaha and Beatrice.
State Labor Commissioner V. B. Kin
ney presided.
If the business and labor concord
continues, Governor Cochran is ex
pected to endorse their bill.

AUTO IS AIR CONDITIONED
New Orleans.: Tne first air-conditioned
auto and plans for air-conditioning
buses to compete with cooled
railroad coaches were announced at a
meeting of the national association of
motor bus operators. A five-passenger
car has been hunting the hot
spots and hte dirty ones all summer
between Buffalo, Chicago and New
York. Its air was cooled on the hot
test highways. There was never any
dust inside. Its passengers were free
even from hay fever pollens. It is
convertible in winter, to carry its
own custom made, warmed climate;
free of dirt, comparatively pure of
the respiratory infections.
'Newer Deal
is Asked by the
Towns end Forces
J Leader Given Vote of Confidence at
Convention After Salary of
$50 Is Revealed.
Demands for a "newer deal" the
Townsend plan were raised by a
battery of speakers before the first
natinoal convention of the Townsend
clubs being held at Chicago.
Spurred by the hair-trigger ap
plause of delegates estimated by their
leaders to number 7,000, the orators
asserted there would be no perman
ent recovery until checks for $200 a
month were sent from Washington
to all people of 60 and over as the
Townsend plan ordains. The aud
ience also cheered denunciations of
the national social security act pen
sion provisions.
Four of the seven men who ad
dressed the afternoon session were
twenty to thirty years under the
eligibility age set out In the program
but they appealed to the nation's
youth to support the movement. "We
dbrf't need a new deal, but a new
deck," declared Ralph II. Higgins of
Seattle, "that new deck is the Town
send plan."
The old political formulas will no
longer work," said Charles T. Mur-
dock of Pittsbunrh. "The. Townsend
plan is honestly offered as a perman
ent cure of depressions."
The delegates turned a third vote
o fconfidence in their leadership into
one of the noisiest demonstrations of
the conclave. '-' vi- ; '
It came after j receipts of the 23
month old movement were set at
$636,803 in the report of Auditor Ray
McAlister. Of this, he added, Dr.
Francis E. Townsend, father of the
plan bearing his name, had received
$7,532 a salary of $50 a week with
$100 available for traveling expenses.
R. E. Clements, national secretary,
declared: "It has been charged that
Dr. Townsend pocketed $600 of this
money. It is a damnable lie. Every
cent has been accounted for."

At Mynard community hall. Friday
evening, November 1st, 8 o'clock.
Given by School district No. 45. Alice
Wiles, teacher. o28-2tw-2td
recognized as the style center of the
world, offers some new and striking
styles.
New Styles Sophisticated
Sophistication is the keynote of the
smart ermine wrap worn by Eleanor
Powell, Broadway favorite whose
dancing in her first movie caused a
sensation. Full sleeves and a prin
cess collar give the coat an appealing
line. Ice blue satin lining, in strik
ing contrast to the pure white er
mine, creates a novel effect.
The Grecian influence in current
styles is well illustrated by the
draped gown worn by Dolores Del
Rio. Enormous pastel colored flowers
relieve the dead black background of
the gown which is built on strictly
classical lines. Long trailing panels
at the back of the skirt accentuate I
the transparency of the black souffle
waist and its huge sleeves, which are
revealed by the halter. front of the
Wyoming Cattle
Men Have Plenty
of Cash to Spend
Have More Money Than They Have
Seen for Several Years, Rancher
Writes to Nebraskans.
North Platte. Sid Moore, Laramie
rancher, In writing friends here, re
ports that farmers and cattle men in
Wyoming have more money this fall
than they have seen for several years.
"The difference between the Hoo
ver farm board and the new deal,"
he wrote, is:
"The Hoover chairman, Mr. McKel
vie, said to us farmers and cattle
raisers: Shoot every tenth cow and
plow under every third row of crois.
"The new deal told us about the
same thing but added: 'We'll pay
for them.' That was different. The
government could stand the loss
while the farmer and cattle raiser
couldn't.
"Now if Mr. McKelvio had also
told Mr. Mellon to dump out every
tenth ton of aluminum that his v.ork
ern produced, and tlio textile milis
to throw away eery third yard of
cloth, or third suit of clothes, that
would have been different, too.
('But, of course, Mr. Mellon and
the textile mills and other manu
facturers couldn't stand the loss. And
neither could the farmers and stock
raisers afford to do the shooting and
plowing under."
