'2Firemen Overcome,

Payroll Tax Piles Up Excess
In Unemployment Program

exceeded the annual grants. In
fiscal 1852, for example, the re-
venues were $3.50 million as COM
pared to grants of $186 million.
IF this tax source were trans
ferred to the States along with
the responsibility for financing
administrative costs of the activ-
tiles, practically every State
would have more than enough
funds to do a better job than is
being done under the present
grant system"
The Labor Department puts the
amount of the tax collected from
the whole country since fiscal
1886 at $2.55 billion. Against this
it put the amounts for Federal
administration of the jobless pay
program, the cost. of administra-
ton in the States, and a variety
of other charges. These include
the cost to the Treasury of COL
lecting the taxes, the expenses of
the War ManpoWer Commission
of World War II and the cost of
the employment service.
$50 Million Surplus.
After all these deductions the
surplus was estimated at $50
million.
The conference of Employment
Security Commissioners does not
go the whole way with the Coun-
Gil of State Chambers. The con-
ference would take from this
fund sums to provide for Federal
administration. It would also
use the fund as a source for in
tereSt-free advances to States
whose unemployment has de-
pleted their compensation funds.
In the District there appears
no present prospect of undue de-
pletion in the $53.7 million COM
penSation fund. Proposals have
been made to increase the bene-
fits. This is counted on to hold
the fund within proper limits.
Another suggestion is that the
interest paid on the fund, held
in trust in the Treasury, be cred
tied to the employers who pay
the taxes. This interest amounted
to $1.129, 900 last year. In the
last is years it has totaled SILL
$4,000.

Trade Board Members
PoIIed on Case-NeeIY Bill

The Washington Board of
Trade expects to complete a poll
next week on membership reac-
ton to the Case-Neely bill to
give the District an elected nom
voting delegate in the House of
Representatives.
QuestionnaireS were mailed to
the organizations 5000 members
last Thursday and must be COM
pleted and returned by March Is.
, Ten years ago the board went
on record as opposing a non
voting delegate to Congress on
grounds it would compromise
national goals, hopes for a vot-
ing congressional delegate and
the right of District citizens to
vote in presidential elections.
Setting up election machinery
for the non-voting delegate plan,
the board said. is a big step to-
ward home rule which the Orr
ganization opposes. -
