General Xeonard Wood will have strong- sup port here evidently, for there Is al ready a Wood club In the field, al though its officers have not been named, as the organization was just launched today. SALEM, Jan. 13. The conduct of -rural dance halls in the vicinity of Salem was severely scored in the re port of the Marion county grand jury made public Tuesday, the jury de claring the institutions not in the interest of good morals or good citi zenship. Evidence presented to the Jury is said to have shown that many of the patrons of these halls are young girls, considerably under age, -who live in Salem. HOOD RIVER, Jan. 13.

Don Cup id's branch office in Corvallts did a thriving business during the year 1919, in comparison with that of his chief competitor, the divorce court. Records in the office of the county clerk show that the marriage license total for the year was ten times greater than that for divorce decrees handed down. The licenses numbered 140. PORTLAND, Jan. 13. Directors of the Portland Chamber of Com terce have gone on record as strong ly recommending to the members of the Oregon Legislature that legisla tion to correct the conditions that are depriving the schools ot Oregon t teachers be framed for submission to the voters ot the state at the com ing primary electron. ALBANY, Jan. 13. Work was started today on repairing bad stret ches of the Pacific highway between Albany and Jefferson.

Supply company, which an nounced plans for establishing an Eastern Oregon distributing station here for Diamond tires. L. A.

Information nt hand, lias led the chief executive of tho state to bolluvo ot sufficient importance to warrant your careful and early consideration. These arc abnormal times, and ab normal times are productive of emer gencies. It could scarcely have been expected that In your regular session last year human wisdom could hnvo conceived of meeting all posslblo contingencies during n biennial period fraught with shifting condi tions. To grapple with and ovcrcomo tho essential emergencies and, as far aa possible, to alleviate burdens and solve problems leading to construc tive ends, I have exercised tho con stitutional duty ot tho executive to "en extraordinary occasions, con vene tho legislative assembly by pro clamation." Following further tho .constitutional provision, I will stuto to you here In joint assembly the purposes for which you have been convened. Workmen's Compensation My primary object in calling to gether tho legislators nt this time is to meet n gravo emergency seriously affecting the welfare, and, In many Instances, the lives of tho men and women employed in the industries ot our stnte. Compensation benefits provided for Injured workmen by tho Work men's Compensation Law were es tablished by the legislature In 1913, when living costs were very ma terially less than now. If the com pensation payments were properly rated at that time, it I? self-evident they are wholly Inadequate under present conditions. They are so low that the families ot many Injured workmen, who are incapacitated for any length ot time, are brought to a degree of want that should not prevail when the tate has undertaken to provide for Its In jured workers When the legislature was In ses sion a year ago, the prevailing opin ion was that the cost of living would soon begin to decrense. For that reason, it was not considered neces sary at that time to make a material increase in the compensation bene fits. Two changes was made, one in creasing the amount to be allowed an injured worker tor' his children und- NORTH BEND, Jan. 13.
