How Long Can I Draw Benefita.
QUESTION 4: “ “If . I loat my job
and was unable to find another, how
long could I continue to draw com-
pensation under the Unemployment
Compensation Act? Indefinitely?”
ANSWER: In answering this
question, it becomes increasingly
plain .why the Worker'must guard
his “credits”—the possible bene-
fits or compensation he may draw
—and save them for a rainy day.
These compensation benefits are
meant to reduce unemploymetjj, not
to encourage it; and benefits are
meant only to help tide a man over
from the time he loses one job un-
til he finds another. The number
of weeks you pan draw^compensa-,
tion depends entirely upon your
record of employment in previous
months. '..
To' be mare exact—for every
week you work, you* build up a
"credit” of one-fouth of a week of
benefits. - You must work four
weeks to build up one week of bene-
fit credit. T-
But there is another restriction
—you cannot use more than. 15 of
these benefit weeks in any one
year. ,.Jjt
However, if, in any one year, you
are unemployed for longer than 15
weeks, it still 'may be possible for
you to get additional weeks of com-
pensation. The “if” is your prev-
ious record of employment.
Under the first provision you
Guilt up credits at the rate of one
week of benefits for four weeks of
work. But after you have used up
air"yout benefits, you‘still may
draw benefits ai the rate of one-
twentieth of a v*■ k.4jf benefits for
each week of—f-tiiiildyment during
the preceding 26u weeks or five
years.
Let's ■ see how this works out:
You have been employed for 260
weeks pr fiyp yearj-j; then you lose
your job. For the first 15 weeks
you are- out of work and drdwing
benefits, yau use up sixty weeks
of credit-(at a-rate of four-to-one),
leaving you a credit of 200 weeks'.
Now. the rate changes, to twen-
ty-to-one, and at the rate of one
week of-benefits for each 20 weeks
you have worked, ■ you still can
ik'aw ten more weeks' of benefits.,
> - * •
Therefore, the positive maximum
How /Credit* Are Used Up
QUESTION 5: "In the preylouj
article,'yon described the ^rstem of
credits. Suppose I am pnly part-
ially unemployed, and &oetve only
partial benefits. Do I use up four
weeks,of credits, or twenty weeks
as the case may be, for each week
of. partial benefits?”.
AjNSWDR: No. Your use of cred-
its Is baaed op the actual amounts
to which you would have been en-
titled had you been wholly unem-
ployed. „ . y
In other, words, if your partial
benefit is onlyt$7.50 per week when
you were entitled .tp $15 a week
for total unemployment, you
-be charged with only $7.'50t You
will, in such a case, use up two
weeks of your credits rather than
four.

FOR TEXAS HIGHWAYS?
Texos* highways, to date, have cost'
Texas taxpayers approximately seven
hundred and fifty millions of dollars.
License fees from motor vehicles hare
contributed $202,000,000.
Gasoline taxes have. accounted for
$176,000,000.
Federal aid has donated $91,000,000.
YOUR PROPERTY TAXES HAVE
CONTRIBUTED $281,000,000 — MORE
THAN ONE-THIRD OF THE TOTAL
Large trucks—those weighing mare
than 8000 pounds looded—have paid a -
total of $27,000,0QQ in license fees and
gasoline taxes, or 3% per cent of the
total cost.
Yet these trucks have been respon-
sible for an additional cost of construc-
tion and maintenance ^mounting to
approximately 50 per cent of the total—
an amount far in excess, of their con-
tribution. Tkasa wider trucks result in
25 per cent increase in pavement costs.
Their bigger loads have required thicker
pavements, casting from 35 to 60 per
cent mote; their size has made wider
kind heavier bridges necessary; mainte-
nance costs have increased through
'their use and abuse of the highways.
Such extra expenditures are almost
solely for tfca benefit of the big trucks,
art not necessary for the small
and
trucks and passenger cars. YET THEIR
COST IS BORNE BY THE OWNERS
OF PASSENGER CARS AND SMALL
TRUCKS AND BY THE GENERAL
TAXPAYER, WHO MAY NOT EVEN
OWN A GAR, WHILE THE BIG
TRUCKS THEMSELVES
ONLY 3H PER CENT.
