Governor Martin
will give his
reply to the demand (or a special
session of the legislature to consider
more
adequate
pensions for the
needy aged within the next few
days.
Unless Townsend leaders
who
have been working on the problem
the past week succeed in evolving
a program which will finance more
generous pensions without adding
to the present tax burden, it is a
pretty safe bet that his answer will
j be "no."
The demand for the special ses
sion was presented to the governor
in the form of petitions containing
more than 75.000 signatures Presen
tation of th e petitions was made by
a large
delegation of
Townsend
leaders who prevailed upon the gov
ernor to withhold any immediate
decision and give them an opportun
ity to work out a program that
might meet with his approval.
In an address before 500 Town-
sendltes in Salem that night G ov
ernor Martin expressed himself as in
entire sympathy with the old age
pension movement. Declaring that
present pensions were entirely in
adequate to meet the needs of the
more aged the governor premised
to go along with the sponsors of
the more adequate pension pregram
"to the limit that the traffic will
bear." The governor, however, ex
pressed his doubt as to the ability
to enact a revenue measure to fin
ance more generous pensions with
out running counter to a referen
dum which would tie the whole pro
gram up until the next election.
Townsend leaders who are spon
soring the move for a special ses
sion are confident that a “ trans-
| action tax" would meet with the ap
proval of the voters although to
the layman it is difficult to distin
guish between this tax and the sale!
tax which has been defeated by de,-
cisive majorities on three occasions
in Oregon.

Approximately $1,100,000 a year 1:
being saved by Oregon utility pat
rons as the result of voluntary re
ductions in rates filed by the^utll-
itles during the past two years after
a scries of “ friendly conferences”
with the utilities department, ac
cording to N. G. Wallace,
public
utilities commissioner. The most re
cent of these voluntary rate reduc
tions were announced this week by
Frances Lee Barton says;
H *T
Valuations of railroads operating
in Oregon have been increased by
nearly $4,000,000, over 1936 figures
while valuations of Oregcn power
utilities have been "upped" by $1,-
829,037 15 the state tax commission
announced this week. Valuation in
creases among the power utilities
ranged as high as 66 per cent in the
case of the Port Orford Light and
Power company. Hearings held by
the tax commission, it was shown,
revealed that the greatest improve
ment in earnings during the past
year was made by utilities operating
in eastern and southern Oregon
rather than by the larger utilities
operating in the vicinity of Bonne
ville dam. It was also developed at
these hearings, the commissioners
explained, that while gross earning:
of the utilities generally have in
creased net revenues would be little
i f any higher than for 1936 becauss
of increased operating costs includ
;ng higher
wages and
increased
irices o f materials and supplies.
Railroads generally reported serious
reductions in their net earnings the
commission said.

In case there may be some who
have not been appraised of the fact
It should be mentioned that this is
"Be Kind to People’ week. Thats a
new one for the "weeks" calendar, a
strictly Oregon product. Governor
Martin has requested that all cit
izens of Oregon observe the week “ in
a general spirit of kindly interest
and oldfashipned neighborliness.”

commission, says A. S. Elnarsen,
associate biologist of the Oregon Re
search unit of the U. S. Biolcgical
Survey, located at Oregon State Col
lege.
20,000 Pheasants liberated
The
state
game
commission,
which cooperates with the Biological
Survey, the American Wild Life in
stitute, and Oregcn State college In
carrying on research work in this
field, liberated some 20,000 pheas
ants following the close of the hunt
ing season last fall. This season they
are anxious to learn just hew many
of them are killed, how, where and
when, Mr. Einarson says. Instruc-
ions for returning the bands are
simple, and are printed on each
band.
Leg Bands Returned
Although this is the first hunting
season since the birds were liberated
several hundred leg bands have
already been returned. Each band
carries a number, and this, together
with the name of the person who
found it, the cause of its death, the
date, and the place where it was
found are recorded.
Causes of Death Listed
A checkup o f these records shows
that man is indirectly responsible
for most of the deaths so far. Auto
mobiles have probably accounted
for the greatest number,
others
nave met death through flying into
telephone lines, buildings and other
manmade structures.
A few have
frozen to death, some have starved
to death, some have been killed by
-a's or dogs, and others by preda
tory birds or animals. Mr. Elnarsen
has a perfect skeleton o f one bird
killed by a horned owl, which labor-
nously picks every particle of meat
from the bones, without destroying
the skeleton. The horned owl is a
persistant killer of game birds.
Banded Birds to be Turned I-oose
This year the game cemmission
plans to release another large flock
of birds immediately after the close
of the hunting season, all o f which
will wear leg bands. Mr Elnarsan
says, so that an even more complete
survey c f the sltutatlon may be
made made next year.
Present members of the game
commission are Dexter Rice, Rose-
burg, chairman; E. E. Wilson, Cor
vallis;
Lew
Wallace,
Portland;
Charles Reilly, Klam ath Falls, and
George Aiken,
Ontario, who are
anxious to obtain as complete infor
mation as possible on the birds rear
ed and released by the commission.
OSC STU D E N T OFFRS CURE
FO R M IG R AN E HEADACHES
C O R V A LLIS —That the
“ water
balance" in a person’s body may be
the key to prevention of mlgrane or
nervous sick headache is the theory
advanced by
Frank Thompson,
graduate student in chemistry at
Oregon State college, who recently
reported his experiments and con
clusions on this subject to the Ore
gon section of the American Chem
ical Society at its meeting in Port
land.
Studies Own Case
When informed about eight years
ago that this malady, from which
he suffered frequently, and which,
incidentally, afflicts from one to
two per cent of the population, was
Incurable, Thompson began using
his earlier scientific training in an
effort to find out something about
It for himself. His study o f his own
case and those of a number of
others has finally convinced
him
that the secret of
prevention of
these headaches lies in keping the
intake of water or liquid a t a m ini
mum.
He recommends that persons sub
ject to such headaches stay on the
borderline of thirst at all times, and
that if they feel an attack coming
on, warp themeslves in blankets in
the warmest possible spot and sweat
it out.
