Directed Against Executive, and Petitions
Are now Being Quietly Circulated
About the Streets
Petitions for the recall of Mayor Fred R. Goddard
ire in circulation.
Working secretely, as they supposed, enemies of the
mayor have been making a quiet canvass of tLe city,
and those who have been a bit receptive to the plea
that the Klamath Falls mayor be ousted from office, have
been urged to sign the petition which is produced at the
psychological moment
How many names have been attached to these recall '
petitions is purely a matter of conjecture, but it is under
stood ' ' not meeting with the en
thusiai Sad hoped.
One i ago similar petitions
were in cnt:um.n same forces which
now seek Mayor Goddard's off iciaT scalp, but the move
ment at that time died a natural death because of lack
of interest on the part , of the voting public.

S. P. Influence
The recaj movement ab'out txo
month j agj got trader viay during
the heat of the Strahoru SIxth-etreet
mossing frant.ijl8e wnvng'.e in the
city ccuncll. At that time God
dard put i.iimself on record as be
tng unalterably opposed to the
?outhern Pacific bottling up the
city and preventing the entrance of
the Northern U'nes. Misguided and
misinformed, ibis enemies thought
public sentiment favored the South
ern Pacific. But they were qttickl
enlightened. Except for a hand
ful of seif-seekers, fhey found. It
impossible Uo mustev enisugh nimw
to a re.-all petition on tlhc strengt i
of tie mayor's staud fur more rail
roads for Klamath Falls.
But Mayor Goddard's special mes
sage to the city CQUCKC) last Mon
day night has brought more sym
pathizers to the group of "recalln.ii"
It has brotiRht nvore assurance of
unlimited financial support to th.i
recall candidate.
Opposes t'opco
lit his flgiat for Justice and for a
cleaner end a better city. Mayor
Goddard Monday night din ed to op
pose the California Oregpu Power
company. He ci'iaracterizoj tile pre
sent water charges in Klamath Falls
as an outrage and urged the pur
chase of a cityowned water ptunt.
He pointed out that tho water
jtate.s in K.amath Falls are the
second b'ghest of those on the Pa
cific ooait.
His special message also re
commended that all power, tele
phone, and telegraph iwires be plac
ed In nndergiiotind conduits wit; it i
the fore limits, and It: it these pub
lic service corporations be compell
ed to pay tho city ad adequate rent
al for the use of the streets.
More Lost Revenues
If these irecommendatilons should
be carried out, It would mean an
expenditure iof hundreds of tlhous
auds of dollars on tho part of the
California O-egon Power company
and ether public service corpora
tions. If the city ithould vote Tor
Its own water plant it would lose lo
the CnllOornlu Oregon Piwer mi
