NEED SPECIAL SESSION Polk County Representative Advo. cates Immediate Convocation of Oregon Legislature. Believing that the egal holidays now existing will probably be neces sary for the benefit of the banking institutions much longer than is now evident, B. F. Jones, state representa tive from Polk and Lincoln counties, who is at the Hotel Perkins, advocates the calling by Governor Chamberlain of a special session of the legislature for the purpose of passing a law which would give the governor the power to declare holidays which would effect the banks only. The legislative body could be assem bled at Salem within 24 hours, Mr. Jones says, and in a short time could enact laws which would be of great benefit to the business of the state. In case this was done the business of the state courts could be carried on as before the holiday proclamation of the governor was announced. At the same time the new constitutional pro vision would make allowances which would make holidays for banks legal as long as the people should desire. Portland Journal. PERRYDALE. Mrs. P.
