Oregon State News
Hard on' Greater Oregon
BAKER, Sept. 20. 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." - ..

North Carolina Legislates
To Lessen Auto Accidents
? ..(-..
j. j ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 21.
"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.

Prwtcisting Low ValuaUon : v
JtlEDFORD, Sept. 20. That an
altogether too low valuation" is
placed on all property of Klamath
county by the assessor, which re
sults in a necessarily high tax
rate, is the opinion of a number
of property owners of that county.
The expressed 'opinion- of many
has resulted In the calling of a
public ', meeting for Thursday
evening at the city hall in Klam
ath Falls to discuss a change in
valuations. 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 state and
federal board deemed it worth
while to give the school a regular
Smith-Hughes department rating
although not all the technical re
quirements ; could be met. 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. He comes with a splendid
record made at the McMinnville
high school, where he developed
the farm shop idea of erecting
and' equipping a farm shop at
the school by the boys themselves
without any outside help.
