Representative Peirce Fails In
Effort to Reduce Ap
propriations. "A few of us who wero opposed
to tho extrnvngnnco of tho Oregon
legislature thought to'overcomo It by
compelling Gov. West to exercise his
'threat of vetoing cortr.ln appropria
tions If tho stnto printer flat-salary
hill was not passed but wo lnckod

Joint representative of Coos and Cur
ry county, who wns In Mnrshfleld
, yestordny on routo homo to Curry
i county. "I wns in favor of tho flat

Neither Representative Polrco or
Sonntor Chnso explnlnod nbout Gov.
West's veto of tho bill to enable tho
stnto to cede tide lnnds to port com
missions, which wns desired by Coos
Bay.
Representative JPelrco announces
that unless something unexpected
happens ho will bo n candldato for
reolectlon. Ho believes ,that ho will
bo nblo to accomplish considerably
more for his constituents next time.
Concerning his record at Salem, a
paper there says:
"Representative Peirce of Coos
and Curry, made one of tho best re
cords in tho legislature. Ho stood
with men like Hollls and Shaw
ngnlnst extravagant appropriations.
If such men had been on tho ways
nnd mennB committee there would
have been a different outcome. Mr.
Pelrco hnd ono bill of the greatest
vnluo to the people his high school
bill. Ho was several terms a county
clerk, and one of the most compe
tent men In the House."
Representative Ttackleff returned
overland. Tho principal measure ho
got through was tho bill preventing
railroads from bottling up a territory
by occupying the passes or strategic
points on tho right of way. This is
a copy of the Washington law nnd
wns brought to the attention of tho
legislature by Francis H. Clarke of
Mnrshfleld. Whether Gov. West
will approve of It, Is not yet known.
