The Demo crat of this city sees in the pro posed recall of Governor Pierce a blow at the greater Oregon about which, we have - been talking so hopefully It says editorially: "Without doubt the starting of a recall campaign against Gover nor Walter, M. Pierce ; is oneof the biggest political mistakes which has been made in Oregon in2 recent years. Oregon's1 posi tion as a state 1 at the , present time is peculiar and it - has re ceived more harmful advertising during the past few months than is good for It. The movement Is the . work of disgruntled . politi cians who should be cast aside in the minds of all those real build ers of a great state. Such moves Vill never bring forth a greater Oregon." - ..

"Safety first" exponents, as re flected among those who want to see the high rate of railroad grade crossing accidents lowered, carried their fight into at ( least four , southern legislatures this summer, with success In only one. . In the North Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama general as semblies measures were Intro duced which would ; require the motorist to come to a complete stop within a specified distance of a grade crossing and at the same time require the railroads to erect suitable warning signals. North - Carolina; alone : of the three, enacted such legislation and officials charged with its ad-, ministration say that the first few months ,of Its operation showed an appreciable lessening in - the number of accidents. The Flori da, Georgia and Alabama law making bodies refused to adopt the measures, their opponents characterizing them as the handi work of railroad men seeking to free their interests from' 'possible damage suits. In the Florida as sembly the measure-was' amended to meet these objections," a 'clause being inserted which would have expressly provided that it was not to be construed" as removia; liability of the carriers. 1..

This meeting is be ing called by WV T. Lee, -county assessor. 5 Lee . states that. It is not Intended to increase the amount of taxes, but. it Is hoped to reduce the tax rate and thus make investment in 1 this county by outside capital more popular. ; A New Farm Instructor ' CORVALLIS, Sept., 20. II. H. White has been appointed the new instructor in the Smith Hughes - departmental " agricul ture In the Corvallis high school. As the work of this department has attracted a great deal of at tention during the past year, this1 Is an important position to be filled.

Last year the enrollment was about 40 boys.-J r; 'rX "i"" i'-"r ':f:-' Mr. White has been transferred here by the state director in charge of the Smith-Hughes work.
