RECALL REPORTS
CE
IN RECENT
New Legislation Requires
Signatures Of 25 Per Cent
Total Vote Cast At The
- Last General Election.
Two new law pawed by the last
legislature, eiiectlve June 9. are of
high Intereat to cltlreue of Jackson
county. One la the tax moratorium
law, and the other la the revlaed and
strengthened Oregon recall law.
The recall law wa revlaed to cor
rect abuse practiced by "petition
racketeera." and condition prevailing
In this county laat year, were cited
aa eblntng examples of the need of
correction.
The new law limit the circulation
of recall to 00 daya, and prohlblta
their being kept In "cold atorage" aa
political cluba: require that the
name ol all contrlbutore to the re
call be filed with the county clerk,
lone with the namea of the apon-
aara.and circulator, and the circular
tore must take an oath that they
were present when the namea were
elgned.
More glrnera Required
The new law requlrea that the
algnaturea must comprlee 98 per cent
of the vote cast t in isst
election, which now meana that be
twecn 3200 and 8500 algnaturea
would be required.
Last year following the verdict In
the Parr-Fehl libel ault, and the
sentencing of a young man to the
state prison, after a number of pa
roles, recall petitions were circulated
against Circuit Judge H. D. Norton.
No one would admit fatherhood of
the move, though both Earl H. rem
and li. A. Banks, a ft candidate and
a newapaper publisher, publicly fa
vored the recall. Petltlona were wide
ly circulated, particularly In the
north end of the county, and on the
Applegate, but the required number
of namea then 2600 waa never
secured. Claim that 3200 namea
were eecured were made, but It was
learned that 800 namea waa the
maximum, despite long and loud ap
peal. None of the old signatures can'
be used, under the new law.
Fctil Rears Rumors
For aome time there have been
vague rumors, that a recall would be
Initiated against County Judge Fehl.
and laat week Peril In hla paper, said
he had beard recall would be
launched against a county commis
sioner, the district attorney, and
circuit Judge, and poMlbly a Justice
of the peace. He also said he had
heard a recall was talked against
himself. It I assumed by county of
ficial that Fehl will attempt to
launch a recall against others, It one
la launched against him.
There ha aUo been aome talk of a
recall against Suspended Sheriff
Schermerhorn, the move centering
chiefly among disgruntled democrat
over Schermernorna appointments,
when he assumed office. It later de
veloped during the ouster hearing
that the appointment bad been
made at the Instigation of County
Judie Fehl. In the north end of the
county the past ten days, there ha
been talk of a petition to protest
against paying aalary to scnermer
bom during the period of hla sus
pension by the governor. The law
allows pay during the period.
Tax Moratorium Provided
The tax moratorium law allows
delinquent taxes for five yoara back
to be paid, at the rate of ten per
cent, at alx months periods, and was
an emergency measure. It also pro
vides that U a taxpayer misses three
Installments, he lose hla right.
The sheriff, district attorney and
assessor will meet with the county
court tomorrow to discuss and de
cide upon a oouvse of action for thla
county under the tax moratorium
law.
The delinquent tax list for 1937 I
the only year concerned now. The
list haa been prepared and published,
and upstate counties are preparing to
take action before June Otb, In order
to collect before the tax moratorium
law becomes effective. After that
date the 1037 dellnquenclea will come
tinder the moratorium.
The 1037 dellnquenclea In this coun
ty only amount to about 98000, and
only a few are over $100. Most of
the list are for aums ranging from
as to $16. One of the most prosper
ous year In the life of the county
and nation waa 1037, aa were 1038
and 1030.
