an Initiative as the most effective
way te present the proposal to the
voters.
Reports here yesterday Indicat
ed that the pension organization
was considering the governor's
proposal and that an initiative
measure might be referred to the
voters at the next generalIectlon.
Name Ample for Initiative '
Arthur Moore ot Monmouth,
Townsend manager for the first
congressional district, said no dif
ficulty would be encountered In
obtaining a sufficient number of
signatures to insure the initiative
measure a place on the ballot.
At a conference here 'last week
representatives of the Townsend
clubs submitted petitions to Gov
ernor Martin urging a special leg
islative session to consider amend
ments to .the old age assistance
laws. The petitions contained , ap
proximately 80,000 signatures.
The. Townsendites told Governor
MaiUa that other petitions con
taining more than 50,000 names
would be filed later.
The Townsend organization is
seeking a 2 per cent transaction
tax in Oregon with the provision
that the proceeds shall be distrib
uted equally among- those eligible
for old age assistance. The peti
tioners also would fix the min
imum old age' pension at $30 a
month. The present laws fix the
maximum monthly pension at $30.

Wreck Pipe Organ
In Science Church
A report made by city police
yesterday says that serious dam
age, the amount of which has not
been determined, was done to the
pipe organ in the Christian Sci

meketa and Liberty streets by
vandals who forced entrance.
Many sections of pipe were tak
en from the organ in the attic of
the church. Some were broken
and badly bent, and some had
been carted away. Entrance was
gained through the door on the
east side of the building by cut
ting part of an adjoining window

ing the knob of the door. Two
other doors were badly jimmied.
An organ expert from Portland

Janitor work, discovered and re
ported the damage early yester
day morning after going to the
church to clean it in preparation
