be imposed if the Missouri legislature passes a bill which would automatically miss unemployment benefits" said Curt Long President of Associated Industries of Missouri "This proposed bill is the most expensive piece of legislation to confront Missouri employers during this session of the General Assembly" he added The proposed legislation a major item for organized labor would require employers to pay increased unemployment taxes to support a benefit program which would increase every year without regard to the status of the fund "Maximum weekly benefits am now $106 but the proposed new law would change this to 46 of the average weekly wage This new formula would increase the $106 to $137 in 1984 and would mean increased benefits every year even though our state program owes $136 million to the federal government Industry is willing to consider a reasonable increase in the benefit level because we have not had an increase since 1979 but we am totally opposed to any percentage factors" Employ em the sole source of funding for the program currently pay a tax on the first $7000 of each earnings but the proposed legislation would change this to a fluting factor that would automatically go up whenever benefits increase The 1984 taxable wage base would be $10600 During the past year Missouri employers have paid over $264 million into the fund but their 1984 bill would increase by $160 million if this new legislation passes While organized labor is working for increases in unemployment benefits the legislation totally ignores critical problems with our current law Under Missouri Law each employer has an account in the stats unemployment compenastion program and whenever an employee is laid off he is paid benefits from his account Them am generally two classes of employers Some employers have positive accounts and some am in a rnnH it inn if an account is in a deficit condition the same thing as being overdrawn at the bank Under the proposed bill all employers would pay mom unemployment tinn taxes but the positive rated employers would pay mom of an increase than those whose crmnite am overdrawn During the past year the deficit employers paid around $53 nillinw into the fund but their employees took over $146 million in benefits out of the fund The Associated Industries believes the proposed bill should Mtshlish a mom equitable relationship between tax increases for positive and deficit employers "Associated Industries of Missouri recognizes that our unemployment tif" fund is deeply in debt and some changes am necessary however the proposed 85 increase is totally ridiculous Our economy is showing signs of a gradual recovery but to band Missouri employers a bill for $160 million mom in UC taxes could slow the process down Increases must bo bald to seasonable

left the country to atart anew in Old Mexico Canada South America and elsewhere One of the aettlements waa established less than 70 miles north of San Paulo in a fertile and gently rolling valley which makes one think of Georgia or Tennessee This sprawling town of nearly 60000 bears the name of Americana Brasil Walking through its streets with many manaima built in the rlaaairal aOUthem Style of looking at its numerous textile factories one is reminded of a typical prosperous mill-town in the Carolinas Baptist and Presbyterian churches dot the town Even the climate and the soil are similar to the Old South Although over 118 years have elapsed since "Americana" was founded by Confederate Veterans who chose to leave rather than submit to defeat in their home-land evening today one may still spot a Confederate flag the windows in some homes One even discerns at times a tinge of a southern accent when the elders of the town greet each other in Portuguese and occasionally in English The founders led by Colonel William Norris of Oglethorpe Georgia arrived in the state of San Paulo in December of 1865 Growing cotton was their first occupation Soon afterward the British established the first textile mill nearby Colonel Joseph Whittake also of Georgia is credited with introducing the first watermelons in Brazil They quickly caught on and soon Americana began to supply all the area with the Georgia Rattlesnake Black-Seed variety of watermelon The displaced southerners also raised coffee tobacco sugar can com beans and pigs and chickens At the beginning the American settlers kept pretty modi to themselves but it take long for the children to start marrying the Brazilians and absorbing the Brazilian ways Others married Portuguese Italian and German immigrants butties with the United States still remained Many of the younger people go to college in this country and marry here However some of the descendants have become thoroughly Brazilian and even with Anglo-Saxon names they can not speak a 'word of English Americana Brazil has one of the finest museums in the world filled with Confederate memorbilia and history A Girl!
