Morse, local phylslcan. member of the state board of health for 16 years, states that a plan ia being evolved, largely due to the initiative of Dr. C. J. Smith of Portland, by which it Is hoped to Interest the large Ufa Insurance companies In maintaining health work in this state. "Mortality tables covering life insurance In Oregon are based on conditions in 1868, and have been In force in this state unchanged since that time," stated Dr. Morse today. "As a result we are paying life In surance premiums probably twice in excess of what tlioy would be under revamped tables to meet the conditions. We believe if the In surance companies were properly approached, they could be per suaded to pay out a small per centage of the premiums collected to be used In advancement of health work. We have figured out that a very small percentage would return $200,000 a year to the state. enough to finance the work of the state board of health and several county units. The Insurance com panies profit by this work, profit more from a dollars and cents standpoint than anyone else, and we believe they would be Interest ed, If the right approach were made. The plat la In Its embryo. Dr. Smith la III, and I do not know who will carry on the plan, but I believe It could be worked out and will be. It would mean a big sav ing to the taxpayers, and would be directly beneficial to the insurance companies themselves." CLEARING WEATHER EXPECTED TOMORROW San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 21. !?)

THOMPSON TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR A PAROLE The habitual criminal statute does not apply In the case of Clar ence Thompson, who is serving time In the state penitentiary for tho misappropriation of funds while employed in the state treasurer's office, says an opinion of Attorney General Van Winkle in reply to an Inquiry by the state parole board. This will make Thompson eligi ble for parole when he has served his minimum time, four and a half years, minus good time credit, which would deduct about 16 mouths from the four and a half years. Thompson was first sentenced after pleading guilty to a maximum of two years and paroled from the bench. Immediately he was charged with a greater misappropriation of funds than was contained In the first charge and pleaded guilty to that also, whereupon he was sen tenced to serve a minimum of seven years, to begin at the expiration of the first sentence. The attorney general holds that the two sentence should operate as one nine-year sentence, and that the habitual criminal statute does not apply because there was no In terval between the two sentences for reform or repentance. Thompson was arrested while he was serving as caledar clerk In the house of representatives at the legislature two year ago. COUNTY CLERKS ASK HALF HOLIDAY Portland. Or., Dec. 2i.
