Another Pension
Census Cooperation
Third Term Test
Salem. Another old age pension
scheme was dumped into the hop
per this week when preliminary pe
titions were filed with Secretary
of State Snell by F. L. Austin.
Austin's plan calls for the increase
of the pension level to $40 a month
for persons who have reached the
age of 65 years with an extension of
credit, whatever that means, to
those in need over 50 years of age.
The program, would be financed by
a stamp tax of two per cent on
checks, drafts, warrants and other
evidence of credit and a three per
cent tax on cash sales. Any surplus
after payment of pensions would go
toward the reduction of property
taxes and to bolstering the common
school fund.
Austin's measure is the fifth for
which prehminary petitions have
been filed so far.
Members of the State Forestry
Board meeting here this week
(Thursday) on call of Governor
Sprague are expected to take action
on the election of a permanent state
forester. It is known that Carl L.
Davis of Coos county who took over
as temporary forester on January
1, succeeding J. W. Ferguson, re
signed, is anxious to be relieved of
his duties in order that he may re
turn to his own business affairs. It
is also expected that the governor
may have some report to make on
a special investigation which he has
been conducting into affairs of the
department, a hint of which was
contained in the recently released
audit of the affairs of the forestry
department.'
The state has no cannon to give
away. Two of the smaller cannon
which formerly stood on the capitol
campus before the big- fire of 1935
have been donated to the Oregon
National Guard and have been sent
to Camp Clatsop. The remaining
artillery piece, a relic of the World
war, is being remounted on the cap
itol grounds to the west of the new
state house.
The millionth jobless insurance
check to be issued by the Oregon
.Unemployment Compensation com
mission went this week to Ole J.
Rudi, an unemployed shoe fitter,
formerly employed by a Marshfield
store, but now residing on a farm
near Woodburn. Approximately 20,
000 checks are being mailed each
week to jobless men and women
of this state, according to records
of the commission which show that
in the 26 months since benefit pay
ments began in this state more than
$11,000,000 have been paid out to
temporarily unemployed workers of
Oregon.
Governor Sprague this week took
his pen in hand to urge citizens of
Oregon to cooperate with the cen
sus enumerators who will begin to
swarm over the land next week. The
governor characterized agitation
against the census questionnaires
as petty and ill-timed" and declar
ed the census project to be "too
important to be crippled by bow-
and-arrow politics.
On the average ten or more mis
mated couples seek a solution to
their problems in the divorce courts
of Oregon every day, according to
records compiled by Secretary of
State Snell. State department rec
ords show that since J.uly 1, 1938,
a total of 7113 divorce actions have
been filed in Oregon courts out of
which the state has realized rev
enues aggregating $35,575 at the
rate of $5 for each suit filed. Money
thus collected goes toward the pay.

Unless President Roosevelt in the
meantime withdraws his name from
the Oregon primary the third term
issue will probably have its first real
test of public sentiment when the
voters of this state go to the polls
on May 17.
Anti-third term Democrats are
rallying around the standard of Vice
President John Nance Gamer whose
candidacy is being managed by for
mer Governor Chas. H. Martin, ably
assisted by a group of the state's
most prominent Democrats.
The fact that the Roosevelt nom
inating petitions in this state were
filed by Commo n wealth Federation
leaders rather than "regular" Dem
