'At the - suggestion of City Attorney Grant the committee determined to ask the state legislature to pass a law giv ng the state railroad commission the power to lower or raise the grades at all railroad crossings In municipalities. If such en act is passed it will then be possible to compel the O.-W.

The passage of the k'glnluUve act would prevent any re monstrance and make the railroad com tulsHlon arbiter of all damages, that might ensue to property owners by rea- SEEK REPRiEVE (KOI COtffilfiEO TO Mil A 'statewide crusude to bring persons from every city, in Oregon to Salem next Thursday morning to join in a per sonal appeal to Governor' West to - re? prleve the five murderers Sentenced to hnnor Friday until another vote on capi tal pu'iiibhinen Tcan be laEen, waia 'starfT cd in Portland, today."v5;v.?;,:,;-;r..v.;::-.jf!''.V The ci-Usado is the result of the re sponse to a prpposal at Sunday's antli capital punishment meeting that every- one present' seo the governor In person.
