On the eecond evening Miss Norma C. .Brown, Tice president of the Flying Squadron founda tion and associate editor of the National Enquirer will speak on "The New Era of Law Enforce ment".

County Assessor Steel- hammer haa made the following comment on the recent amend ment of section 19-107, Oregon Code, 130, .- " : . . V This amendment does not re strict in any manner the exemp tion heretofore granted to "any honorably discharged union sol dier or. sailor of the Mexican war, the war of the rebellion. the Indian wars, or the widow, remaining unmarried of such sol died or sailor, or the widow re maining unmarried of any Span ish-American war soldier." Confers Kxentntlons . On Disabled Vets In Its practical effect the amendment confers the exemu tlon of those veterans only of the ' Spanish-American war and the world war who have a disa bility rating of 40 per cent, or more. Since the exemption con ferred on. Spanish-American and World war vetetans is limited to those "with a disability of . 40 per cent or more, according to official certificates of the United States government," it becomes the duty of any such veteran claiming the exemption to . file with the assessor official evi dence of such disability rating. ' Spanish-American war veter ans should make application im mediately to the county assessor and should present to him tor inspection their discharge papers and. their pension papers. It will be necessary for them to have these papers with them in order to get the exemption. World war veterans must tile with the county assessor, a certi fied copy of their disability rat ing issued by the United States Veterans administration. Due to the change in the law the assessor has extended the time for filing, however they should be in as soon as possible and not later than the first of May.
