Support Must Be Given Dependants by Family, Held The old-age pension law Im poses a mandatory duty npon par ents, children and brothers or sis ters. If they are financially able to do so, to provide for the sup port of indigent persons, and these persons if found to have other possible support, are not eli gible, for the pension. Attorney General Van Winkle held in an opinion handed down yesterday. The opinion was requested by Sherman S. Smith, district attor ney of Josephine county. Under the civil law one excep tion is made to this rule. This is in the case of married women where the county has no legal right to compel them to support indigent parents "while their hus bands are living." The criminal code provides that persons who are financially able to do so but fail to support Indigent relatives may be punished by a jail sentence and fine. Most FEMALE COMPLAINTS, no PROJECT I ."3r"Y I MB 0 ON ins 81110 Sales Tax, Jury Change and County Bond Voting are Included in List Five measures will come before voters of Oregonat the May 18 primaries: Two are constitutional amendments, two legislative bills and the third a referended meas ure passed by the last special leg islative session. With the excep tion of the sales tax, all the meas ures were ordered referred to the voters by the legislature. The referendum measure at tacks the sales tax which provides for a levy of one and one-half per cent on gross receipts from retail sales of tangible personal prop erty and utility service. Referendum of the sales tax law was sponsored by the Oregon State Grange, the State Federa tion of Labor and a number of other organizations. One of the proposed constitu tional amendments provides that ten members of a Jury In a crim inal case, other than those involv ing capital offenses, may return a verdict of guilty. The unanimous vote or tne iz jurors is now re quired to return a verdict of guil ty in a criminal case. The other constitutional amend ment requires a two thirds vote in counties to authorize county Indebtedness exceeding $5000 for roads, and a similar vote to is sue bonds In an amount equal to the aggregate of its outstand ing warrants on December 31, 1933. In no case shall bonds be issued in excess of 2 per cent of the assessed valuation of the county. The two referred bills author ize the location, construction and operation of a state tuberculosis hospital and state Insane asylum in Multnomah county. These bills contain the pro vision that neither the tubercular hospital nor the Insane hospital shall be constructed until funds For NEW SUITS, GOATS and DRESSES Our new Ladies' Apparel Shop has been open only a few days and has started off with hun dreds of enthusiastic buyers.

Virtually all grain crops which local farmer will plant this sea son are already In the ground, with exceptions of barley, some oats and clover seed, says Floyd White, seed dealer. Crops all look very good but no indica tions of prices will be evident until tne season Is more ad vanced. White says seed men as yet have no knowledge of how heavy the plantings of" barley will be locally this spring. Barley plant ing time will be at hand soon, and inasmuch as farmers are not placing advance orders for seeds, the acreage that will go Into bar ley will not be known until plant ing time arrives. With the brewery trade open ing up new fields for disposal of malting barley, and with agricul turists declaring local land high ly suited for the crop, there is some anticipation that a large quantitr ot brewing barley will be sown In the valley.
