In the same spirit, with methods
adapted to the circumstances, the
Department of Art hopes to con-
duct surveys of North Carolina
arts and architecture. There are
many places and objects of just
such vital and enduring interest
scattered throughout the state that
may we be served by the same
type of program. But these build
ings and objects, as everyone
knows from his own experience,
can disappear overnight through
carelessness, neglect or ignorance.
AS the dealers rom big cities
comb the countryside to find our
heritage, sell these possessions out
side, our chance is gone to keep
them where they belong. We can
only do so if we appreciate and
care for them properly. The plans
of the Art Department are broader
in scope than those of the index:
since the North Carolina material
has been but summarily touched
by the Federal studies, these plans
would not overlap with work al
ready done.

Merit Rating

Finally we should like to MAKE
q few comments about merit rat
ing. We are opposed 10 institu.-
ing merit rating at this time and
believe that the matter should be
studied further. We believe that
a system Of trying to award EN-
ployers who have low unemploy-
ment experience is not a sound
one in unemployment compensa-
ton.
For those persons who are in
terested in national trends. It is
important to note that during the
past year. three states. Montana.
Washington and Alabama. have
in effect postponed the introduc-
ton Of merit rating for further
study. Pennsylvania has ADAM
doned II altogether. Eight addi-
tional States have also author
lied further study. At present
only five States. namely. Wiscon.
sin. Indiana. Nebraska. South
Dakota and Kentucky are giving
reduced taxes to certain selected
employers under a merit system.
The trend. therefore. is at present

Partial Benefit

We suggest that a worker when
unemployed be able and permit
ted to earn on the outside. If he
find employment. an amount
equivalent to his weekly benefit
amount before any deductions are
made from his weekly benefit
amount. This would enable an
unemployed worker TO maintain
his standard Of living II he Is able
to secure some odd Jobs. would
give an added incentive toward
securing part time employment
when unemployed. and is consist

ployment insurance.
In order TO qualify as eligible
for benefits under the law. the
unemployed worker should be re.
quired to qualify by earning dur
ing the base year at least $500 in
wages.

Dependents

In one jurisdiction. namely the
District Of Columbia. there exists
a unique feature Of the unemploy-
ment compensation law which has
found favor among the CLIO rep.
resentatives who have discussed
this law. as ] have said. during
the past two months. That fea-
ture provides that after determin
ing the weekly benefit amount. 81
additional shall be paid for each
dependent. except for a spouse
where the amount shall be 50. UP
to a total OF SIS.
In order that the law not
discriminate against employees In
favor Of the employer when a
labor dispute exists. we propose
that there be no absolute dis.
qualification from unemploy.
ment benefits because of uncm-
ployment which arose out Of
labor dispute. We suggest there
be some limitation imposed by
way Of extending the waiting
period TO no more than an addi-
tional two weeks. No worker un-
der the leadership Of a CLIO UNI
lon Is going TO go out on strike In
order TO claim unemployment
compensation. Once a dispute
exists, however, there Is no
reason why the law should be
used to apply against whoever
has gone out on strike.

Discriminate

First. the realization has become
widespread that effective and ma
terial control OF unemployment is
not something which can be done
by an individual employer but is
traceable to condition effecting
the entire industry. the COM
munity and the nation. Why
should employers require incen-
tive to stabilize employment when
to begin with most employers de-
sire that already and further en-
ployment sterilization Is essen
TALLY outside Of the individual
control?
Second. a merit rating system
of unemployment compensation
taxes. by and large. will result In
a lower tax rate to employers who
can best afford to pay and high
er tax rate to the smaller employ
er whose employment records
usually will reflect lower earnings.
Despite the very obvious accuracy
OF this contention. many smaller
employers will be suckers for any
thing which will be dressed up
for them as a device to lower the
taxes. OF the many employers
here In the State Of Maryland.
there is no question but that the
Overwhelming majority OF them
would under a merit rating sys-
tenn be paying higher taxes than
most of the big concerns who
usually dominate these employer
drives for the introduction CT
merit rating.
Third. unemployment insurance
as a system OF social insurance
should have its cost placed. not
upon the individual employer. but
instead 1t should be spread over
the entire business community.

recent national election was We.
hement on the losing side. The
loss Of influence ON the part Of
the daily press. as thus indi-
Gated, Is one Of the most con-
spicuous and one Of the most
momentous facts Of these times.
II was not merely a presidential
candidate that was defeated In
the late election: the great. the
really significant defeat was the
defeat Of ninety per cent Of the
American daily free" press: aud
considering the re.actionary char
acter OF that press there is cause
for great rejoicing in that defeat.
Let the press now ask itself what
is the matter with itself. To help
in this inquiry let me suggest that
this loss Of influence is concomit-
ant with the loss Of its free and
independent spirit. The owner Of
a daily paper. however. need not
and does not worry. As a bust
ness man he Is a success.
Suppression
II is not so much what papers
print that discloses their charac-
ter as what they refuse to print.
They will give workers strikes a
flaming headline and feature vi
olence." but they will not delve
into the causes OF the strike. VIII
they give its background and his
tory. will they present the aspira-
tons Of those who are forced 20
withhold their labor to win
square deal? No! That would not
be news" at least not the news
that is fit" to print. The troubles
that the press prints are always
labor troubles" in a two sided
warfare never do we read OF
employer trouble"
This Is the freedom Of our
press. II Is precisely the free.
dom of any and all kinds OF
business In our capitalistic de-
mocracy. II Is a business con-
Germ operated for profits and
making those profits from their
service to a class with vested
interests at the expense Of the
