1 OREGON BREVITIES"
SALEM, Jan. 13. Three events
important in the commercial life ot
Salem will be combined here during
the week of January 17-24, accord
ing to an agreement reached at the

Marion county corn show and the
thrift campaign.

port here evidently, for there Is al

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. A Hood
River Shrino club will be organized
and officers elected at a meeting to
be called nt Masonic hall here Janu

id's branch office in Corvallts did a
thriving business during the year
1919, in comparison with that of his

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

the Oregon Legislature that legisla

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. When road Im
provement work stopped last fall It
was believed enough gravel had been
placed to support winter traffic while
new grades would have an opportun
ity to settle to be In shape for paving
I next summer.
PENDLETON, Jan. 13. Pendle
ton's automobile row was increased
Tuesday by the entrance of the Dare
Tire &? Supply company, which an
nounced plans for establishing an
Eastern Oregon distributing station
here for Diamond tires. L. A. Dare,

To Hie Members ot tho Sonnto and
I tho Ho it so ot Representatives ot
j tho Oregon Leglslututa:
1 You have been convened in extra
ordinary session fcr tho purposo r.r
lntiuMiirlntr rnrtntn KtltlloCtM Alllcll.
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-
