GOVERNOR WILL CALL
SESSION IF NEEDED
Tells Representative Kubli
Conditions So Far Do
Not Demand It.

Within month or two, tits possible
that an extra session of the Oregon
legislature may be called by Governor
Withycombe to meet needs of depend
ents of soldiers who have enlisted to
answer the call to the colors.
This information was given Repre-.
sentative Kubli. of Multnomah coun.
ty, when he asked Governor Witty.
combe yesterday what provisions were
to be made for meeting the dependent
family situation.
The governor said that he did not
consider the situation as vet so very
grave but that if it should become so
he would call the Legislature to pro
vide ways and means to relieve it.
If the session is called, it is prob.
able that bond issue would be advo
Gated in order to raise money to meet
the needs of the dependents. BY float
ing bonds for this purpose, the six-per
cent limitation could be sidestepped
Later appropriations could be made foi
retiring the bonds.
Concerning the session, the governor
said:
81 certainly believe that if there
are dependent families, it is the duty
of the state to take care of them, and
their care should not be left to the
voluntary subscriptions of individ-
uaia,t
