THE CAPITAL JOURNAL SALEM. OREGON
BOARD SEEKS
INSURANCE AID
IN HEALTH WORK
Dr. W. B. 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."

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 habitual criminal statute does
not apply because there was no In
terval between the two sentences
for reform or repentance.
