IWO IAX PLANS EXTRAJESSION One Would Provide for State Debt Readjustment Board Second Would Adjust Delinquent Tax Claims By CLAYTON V. BERNARD (Associated Press Stuff Writer.) BALEM, Nov. 7. (AP) Two plans looking toward th solution of the plight of political subdivisions rela tive to outstanding indebtedness and the delinquent tai problem are be ing prepared for Introduction at the pedal session of the etate legisla ture which opens here two woeks from yesterday, It was learned here today. One proposal, advanced by numer. our city mayors Including Mayor Joe Carson of Portland, would provide for a state debt readjustment board with authority to negotiate virtually unlimited with bond holders to work out a liquidation plan for cities, eountles and school districts. Would Avoid Default. The board would suggest a com promise to avoid default. This would take the form of requesting bond holders to take a loss, reduc. lng the Indebtedness certain per oent. Precedent for this procedure Is seen In refinancing of Irrigation die. trlcU. Refunding bonds would be Issued at the minimum interest rate of two per cent and a maximum of four. The rate now paid ranges from J;ve to sir per cent. five-year moratorium upon the principle would be declared, giving ellles and counties and other dis tricts an opportunity to spend Its money on improvements rather than reducing Indebtedness. The plan ad vanced by the mayors so far does cot consider the mstter of delin quent tax collections. Could Adjust Tu Debt. A second plan, being prepared by Senators Jay Upton of Bend and Joe Dunne of Portland, would provide the creation Of a similar board with duties almost parallel with that pro posed by mayors. But In addition this board would have all delinquent taxes turned over to It for collection lther in full or In part, with author ity to make adjustments In order to keep the property on tax rolls. Measures Incorporating both these plana were declared nearly complet ed and would be Introduced early In the session. The outstanding bond ed and warrant indebtedness condi tion of political subdivisions of the state will come before the session as emergency proposals. Cognizance of the condition will be taken by the governor in his message, It was stat ed. ' The governor said here today he was making progress with his ad dress In which, It was previously an nounced, he would outline a definite program of relief, liquor revenue and other emergency issues. As the tlmo for the session draws near It became apparent the work before the lawmakers would make it almost impossible for adjournment December 10, the end of the 30-day constitutional period for extraordi nary assemblies. A second special session loomed as not too much of an Improbability. May Eye Education Puss. The new outbreak In higher edu cational circles Indicated this week the matter may come before the state legislature. Governor Julius I Meier refused to comment upon the con troversy, but should Vie situation become more serious It appeared im possible to keep it out of the ses- fton. , Should that be admitted, meet anything Is likely to occur involving the present board of higher educa tion, and the unity plan for the five state institutions, political observers commented. The governor has not yet Indicated what he will recommend relative to the bus and truck law, which also looms as one of the major subjects before the 00 members of the legis lature. With these matters. Includ ing liquor control, relief and public chool conditions, state senators and representatives are looking forward to a hard session, which many sug gested remedies for all problems be fore them out of which they must glean the solution kernsls.

(UP) Tired of waiting for the pled piper, the city of Paris set out today to breed a race of super-cats to eradicate the capital of the rat menace. The municipal council threw open the first Paris cat-breeding farm equipped wlth two handsome tom cats whose destiny will be to sire the super race of feline rat chasers. Like Hamlin, of old, Paris sudden ly haa discovered that It Is beset by rats. They frequent the fashionable restaurants and night clubs, passing the night In the best homes and even scurry about the streets with Impunity. A rat census was taken and It was discovered that for each Inhabitant In Paris there was at least one rat. The municipal council then called upon Its best mathematicians and they estimated that one pair of rats could become 680 rats In one year, 387,000 rats In two years, and 170, 000,000 rats In only three years. At first, an effort was made to starve the rodents. All wast food was ordered covered tightly. But the rats only became more bold and ate food before It reached the garbage palls. The public then was encouraged to fM their rats phosphorus cakes to poison them, but the rats thrived. Some scientist then got the Idea of lnnoculatlng a rat with a virus of a contagious disease and turning htm loose among the other rats, so he would start a rat epidemic. But the rats who fell for this stunt went off into corners and died all alone. In despair, the people of Paris then learned than In Le Havre and Lyons, a race of rat catching cats had long been devoting their Uvea to Vie civic good. The Parisians determined to Imltat this example and established the cat-breeding farm. Medfnrd citizens are reminded that Saturday next Is Armlstlc Day and that the stores of the city will be closed all day, It was announced by John Moffatt, chairman of the re tall committee, this morning. Mr. Moffatt further reported that i Friday, November 1, the store will remain open till 8:30 In the evening. George Tong, secretary of the aMs- ter Barbers association, also reported that the barbers will remain open Friday evening to offset the Satur day closing. SERVICES FOR CHEST The Southern Oregon Dental So ciety, like the ackson County Medical Society, will do Its part to aid the under-privileged child In getting thru the coming winter, It was announced yesterday. Each memer of the den tl soolety his pl-djfd 50 worth of service to the community chest. to be used In extending dental care to under-privileged children. The medical society also pledged services in the community chest drive. Fuel Oil Any Kind. Any Amount Ak for delivery hy Medford Fuel Co. Tel (111 26 HIGH SCHOOL ON HONOR ROLLS (By Maty Rem.)

Riverside SLOT MACHINES 10 Reported return of the banned slot machines to country stores and road houses of the valley the past week brought Instructions from the sher iff's office this morning to all depu ties to take steps to hald the "ron money getters." Under the law, own er and player can be cited to court, along with the proprietor of the place wheret the clot hmachlne is stationed. The allot macctnes were ordered re moved a fortnight ago, and were, but last week made and new appearance with the word tiat "they go In the country but not In the cities. Investigators of the sheriff's office and state police have been on the lookout for the contraptions but so far all have vanished before the ar rival of the law. In one road house the slot machine went Into a closet just as the officers walked Into the front door. The sheriff said this morning that some of the "night :luba" can look into the future and I know when a deputy Is coming, and when a state trooper Is apt to me around. Orders were Issued to confiscate any slot machine found in operation. Several machines were reported as working with a gum slot as a, decoy, many being In need of gum. Hie slot machines were ordered ta boo in this county In connection with Btaie-wiae campaign. Two chief objections , registered against them were that many addicts needed the money squandered for winter food, and t,hat mionrs were playing them, A further reason was that the slot machines diverted much money from legitimate channels.

(AP) Ths stat highway commission will urge allocation of the 3,100,000 of public works money for construction of the five Oregon coast highway bridges, before making a strenuous campaign for a blanket allotment of $15,000, 000 for general highway work In this state. This statement wss made by Les lie M. Scott, commission chalrmsn, who said it was one of Vie "basic details" of the commission's policy. Scott said, "The highway loan Is more complicated and may delay the bridges." For the five bridges the govern ment will be asked to loan about $3,600,000. The remaining $1,600,000 would be a grant. The general high way loan would be about $10,500,000. Both allocations would be on the basis of 10 per cent loan, and 30 per cent grant, the usual terma. Scott said "the current highway revenues, if in future maintained, will carry the obligations thus cre ated. Close management will be nec essary: no new bond debt csn be permitted; maturing bonds (nearly $2,000,000 a year) must be scrupu lously paid . and retired: revenues from motor licenses, gasoline taxea and truck transportation fees must be carefully maintained."
