FAMILY NIGHTS Special Session Vision If the special session of the legislature, scheduled for October 28 by Governor Robert D. Holmes last Friday, complies with plans suggested by the governor there will be a reduction in current in come taxes of 6 to 7 percent, to apply within the next two years. Also his suggested boost in state school support of $5,000,000 a year would be reflected in property tax reductions November 1958. Several weeks ago State Tax Commissioner S. W. John Horn detailed a statement on what sur plus might be expected by the end of the current biennium and cave the astounding figures to the governor. The governor chose eight Democratic cohorts as con ferees. They were Senators Over hulse, Corbett and Pearson; Rep resentatives Steward, Barton and Dooley; Tax Comission Chairman S. W. John Horn and Director of Finance John Richardson. Conclusions of the governor and conferees were for five mil lion dollars annual property tax relief six million annual in come tax relief. Scramble Unlimited Why anything can happen. The legislature is not confined to matters for which it was cal led and Is not limited to 20 days for a special session, as form erly. Legislators do not draw extra pay for time at special sessions. They are paid by the year and have already drawn their salary for this year, $1200. This special session Joi, will bo Just overtime without pay for them. With the 1515 evenly div ided Senate, party-wise, anything can happen, authors of bills de feated at the 128 day regular ses sion this year wiil have a golden opportunity to gang up, tradt votes and raid the "died in com mittee" bills now resting in the Senate and House morgue;. Then there is thai Republican invented filibuster gag that has been successfully used by Demo crats also. It's in the talking stage now and that's dangerous. FARMERS! CATTLEMEN ! FREE Planer Shavings IN ANY AMOUNT - YOU HAUL United Studs Planer HEPPNER Many employees of the 1957 regular session have reouosted their old jobs back "just for a lark", at salaries from $12.50 a day for rockingchair doorkecpeis to $22 a day for experts who do a ;;o(id job, in many instances. The cost of the 20-day sessslon should not exceed $100,000 and approximately $5,500 a day for more than the 20 days. The only bright sport for the legislators, the press and fav ored "cutie" employees is the news that the hundred-odd lob byists will be back with their large lucious food parties and re freshments. Legislative Vacancies Since adjournment of the leg islature May 28, three represent atives have resigned and one has died. The county courts of Lane, Baker, Columbia and Clackamas counties will have to choose new state representatives because of Gov. Holmes' call for a special session scheduled to convene on October 28.

Richard Eyeman, Mohawk, (Dem.) resigned to become exec utive secretary of the Tax Com mission. Rep. Robert J. Steward, Keating, (Dem.) resigned to become state Director of Agriculture. Rep. Robert R. Klemsen, St. Helens, resigned because he mov ed to Portland. Rep. Herman Chindgren, Mo lalla and the only Republican among the four, died. By Fay Bentley Sky-minded earth-dwellers ex perienced a delightful surprise when a second comet within a period of four months was ob served In the northwestern sky! A cable to Harvard Observatory from K. A. Thernoe in Copenhag en reported the discovery of a new comet bv A. Mrkos. S. M. Lausten also from Copenhagen gave a second position on the same comet which has been giv en the number 1957d. (The first comet to be discovered in 1957 was given the number 1957a). From the Griffith Observatory Dr. C. H. Cleminshaw reported that "Airline pilot Peter Cherbak saw a comet live degrees east of the star Castor on July 31 and August 1. Clouds prevented a con firmation until August 4." A Sim ilar report for August 2 was made by A. V. Shatzel, director of the Adler Planetarium. Many comets are seen each) year by people who study the celestial sphere telescopically, but only a very small percent age of those so observed become visible to the naked eye. Comet Arend Roland which so many en joyed during the latter part of April 1957, was the first comet visible to people in this part of the world since 1910. I To be favored with two such unusual sky visitors hi the space of a few months is indeed a rare experience. ; On Friday evening, Aug. 9, a number of Oregon residents ob-; served Comet Mrkos shining low In the northwestern sky. On Sun day evening, Aug. 11, the com et could be seen but its light was greatly dimmed by the brillianl moonlight. When binoculars were employed, it presented a beauti-, fill sight. i When the moon rose late en- j ough to give no interference, the! comet brightened perceptibly and ' at this writing, Aug. 25, is still visible. Comets are very unpre-1 dictable and it Is difficult to say how long this one may be ob servable, as it is gradually be coming dimmer. To locate Comet, Mrkos look to the northwest as soon as it be comes dark. Not far above the horizon shines this unexpected celestial guest. At first observa tion the comet was directly be neath the bowl of the Big Dip per but now seems to have moved westward. If a line were drawn from the last star In the handle of the Big Dipper to the horizon, the comet, as observed by this writer, lies to the left or west of such a line. Those who observed Comet Ar-end-Roland will find this experi ence helpful when locating Com et Mrkos. As the comet dims, it will appear as a faint patch of light in the evening sky, but the beauty.

Nothing unusual. Except they were wetting their fingers and sticking them up at arms length. Their guilty grins were growing wider. "Testing the north wind", they alibied. The men?

And it's fair weather the fair chiefs are praying for. Everything about the Great Oregon State Fair is shipshape and ready nothing to worry ab out except the weather.
