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.

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.

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.
Vacancies are not filled unles3
there is a special session.
In filling vacancies, the county
courts must choose successors
who are of the same party as
those being replaced.
Rep. 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.

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.
Comet Mrkos is situated In tne

Wednesday evening two men
stood in the center of the acres
and acres of the Oregorv State
Fairgrounds.' 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? Jack Travis, chair
man of the State Fair and Fair
Manager Howard Maple, who ex
plained that a good north wind
in the Salem area means fair
weather. 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. The
weather has always dealt more
than fair with the Fair for the
past 25 fairs only nine days of
rain in 175 days of the Fairs.
