STATE CAPITOL NEWS

State Capitol News Bureau
SALEM. ORE.—Governor M ar
tin's refusal to accede with the re
quest of Townsend leaders for a
special legislative session met with
widely divergent reactions on the
part of leaders in the old age pen
sion movement.
Glen C. Wade of Pendleton.
Townsend manager of the second
Oregon district, declared that no
further effort would be made to
bring additional pressure on the
governor. Wade, who acted as spec
ial representative of the Townsend
delegation which presented the re
quest for the special session, praised
the governor for his courteous con
sideration of the petitions. Wade's
statement was regarded as reflect
ing the sentiment of the delegation
which waited on the governor in
cluding Arthur Moore of the M on
mouth congressional district.
An entirely different attitude was
taken by John A. Jeffreys of P ort
land, H. C. Cue of The Dalles and
other Townsend leaders.
“ This is no time to take o ff our
hat to the governor,” Jeffreys de
clared. "Rather it is a time to peel
our coats and continue our work for
a special session.”
The next step in the move fcr
more adequate pensions, it was ex
plained in a statement issued by
Townsend leaders meeting here last
week, will depend upon the action
taken by the official boards of the
three congressional districts on r e v
ommendaticns
submitted by
the
special group attending the Salem
meeting. W hile the nature of these
recommendations
was not
made
public it is understood to include
the initiation of a measure covering
the Townsend pregram of more ade
quate pensions financed by a trans
action tax. Such a measure if in
itiated would come before the voters
at the regular election in Novemebr
1938.
A large delegation of Portland
educational and civic
leaders ap
peared befere the State Land Board
this week to urge against undue
haste in the preposed blocking of
state school lands. The recommen
dation of the Portland delegation
came as a result of Interviews with
federal cfficials charged with ad
ministering the new Taylor grazing
act, all of whom, they said had ad
vised against immediate blocking of

Immediate blocking was necessary
if the state's interest was to be pro

Neglect of farm machinery is
costing American farmers millions
of dollars annually, says W. J. G il
more, head o f the agricultural en
gineering department at O.SC. Few
machines actually
wear out, but
many are rotted or rusted out he
pointed out.
Gcod care of farm machinery calls
for protection from the weather by
housing, protection of the parts sub
ject to rust or decay, and repairing,
Simple Building
A shelter for farm machines needs
only to be adequate to protect from
moisture, sun and dust, and a simple
building with wide doors for easy
storage or removal of machines is
desirable. Professor Gilmore points

explained.
Hints on Storage
Prefessor Gilmore
offers a few
suggestions on storing
harvesting
machinery. It is especially desirable
to place the mewer. binder and com
bine under
shelter to avoid high
depreciation and repair casts, he
says. When storing, block under the
center of the tongue may keep it
from warping. I f the mower is stor
ed with the cutter bar in a veritcal
position, it is well to place a block
under the inner show to relieve lift
ing parts. I f stored with the cutter
bar down, unhook the lifting spring.
I f bar is tilted so that pitman is un
der a strain it may take a permant
twist and cause trouble later.
Combine and binder canvases
may be removed and placed In a dry
place away from mice and rats. It
is well to clean e ff the dirt, tighten
loose belts, spread
cotters, grease
wearing parts, paint the wood parts
and order the repairs that will be
needed before the machine is used
again. A t least, a list o f needed re
pairs can be given the dealer so that
the delays may be avoided when the
machinery is needed again.
