Jernigan Faces Recall (Continued from Page One) eral months past concerning rumors regarding matters at the county jail. While it is true that men who voted for Jernigan a year ago are now turned against him, there are many others who declare they will stand by him, and that the many faults found in his administration are largely attributable to the acts of his deputies. Men who are now opposing him openly declare that as sheriff he should have been conversant with these things, including the disappearance of large quantities of liquor held in custody of the sheriff. Many rumors and many criticisms have prevailed up and down the county, and Jernigan's political enemies have not been slow in condemning him. His friends declare that he should have a chance to prove their charges false. They say that he has in him the qualifications of a good sheriff, and should be given another opportunity to make good. One of Jernigan's inherent political sins is that he is no campaigner, but he declares that the duties of the office have placed such exactions upon his time that he has found it quite impossible to get out among the voters and solicit their support. During the campaign of last year, he seldom left his office, and was in the northern part of the county a very few times. In fact, many voters in this section, who were among his strongest supporters, make the statement that they never saw him during the entire campaign. If they wished to see him, they had to go to the sheriff's office for an interview. He was always found on duty; was never far away from his office, and when advised that he had better go out among the people, replied that he could not ignore the demands made upon him as an official, and was quite adverse to doing any campaigning. His friends declare that Jernigan never asked a single voter for his support. On the other hand, former Sheriff Jackson is probably the best campaigner who ever ran for office in this county. He knows how to get out among the people, and he has a happy faculty for making friends wherever he goes. He has an excellent record as former sheriff of Orange county, and it has been common rumor that his defeat, five years ago, was brought about largely by over-confidence on his part. LEGION NOTES With more than 800 California World war veterans and their friends and relatives en route to the ninth annual national convention of the American Legion to be held in Paris, France. September 19-23, members of the organization declare that the Paris conclave will bring together the greatest galaxy of statesmen and war-time generals since the signing of the Armistice and the Victory parade. Two special trains bearing the California delegates left San Francisco and Los Angeles on Saturday, under the directorship of State Commander Phil Dodson of South Pasadena; James K. Fisk of Berkeley, state adjutant, and Dr. John F. Slavich, former state commander of the Legion. The Californians will embark for the convention on the liner De Grasse. Marshal Foch, supreme commander of the Allied forces during the war, and General John J. Pershing, commander of the first American Expeditionary Force, both honorary national commanders of the Legion, will be present and take an active part in the convention. Howard P. Savage, national commander of the Legion, will head the second American Expeditionary Force. M. Gaston Doumergue, president of the Republic of France; ambassadors, United States senators and congressmen, Assistant Secretary of War Hanford MacNider and a host of other dignitaries will be present for the convention. Los Angeles and San Francisco will be represented by beautiful floats in the great parade which the American Legion members will stage this month in Paris, France, as a feature of the national convention of the World war veterans' organization which will be held in the French city. The float for which the board of supervisors of San Francisco have made an appropriation of $1200 has been designed by Maury Logan of San Francisco. A huge fruit and flower basket with a great bas relief map of San Francisco on each side constitutes the main design of the San Francisco float. A section of the Sierra Nevada mountains with a stream of running water and a portion of San Francisco bay, showing real water, are features of... On the other hand, former Sheriff Jackson is probably the best campaigner who ever ran for office in this county. He knows how to get out among the people, and he has a happy faculty for making friends wherever he goes. He has an excellent record as former sheriff of Orange county, and it has been common rumor that his defeat, five years ago, was brought about largely by over-confidence on his part. Jackson is a strong man, a brave officer, and as sheriff made a splendid record. His killing of the bandit, Ira Jones, who was probably the worst desperado who ever came to this county, is recalled. Jackson was constable at Santa Ana. A large posse of officers were scouring the hills for Jones, who was armed with a high powered rifle. He killed several men in the posse. He was wanted for rape and robbery. Jackson went out after him, and in the foothills engaged in a long distance rifle duel with the desperado. As Jackson was stealthily proceeding on his hunt for the man whom he knew could not be far away, crouching down to escape observation, a rifle ball which whizzed past his ear advised him that he was quite correct in his supposition that Jones was still around and doing business. He fell to the ground as another bullet whizzed over his head. Jones was hidden behind a boulder a hundred yards away. Prone upon the ground, Jackson waited what seemed to be an interminable time, watching the boulder like a hawk. The rest of the posse had returned home in the belief that Jones had escaped. It was a duel to the death between these two men. Jackson bided his time for Jones to show his head at the side of the boulder. Jones was on his hands and knees; as his head came into view, Jackson's rifle rang out. He was certain he hit Jones, but remained upon the ground a long time, fearful that the desperado might again appear. He crawled around in the brush, making a wide detour. Finally he reached a point from which he could see a portion of the rear of the boulder. Jones lay upon the ground, his hands clasping his trusty rifle. Jackson crept on stealthily, covering Jones with his rifle. Feeling safe, he arose to his feet, knowing that he could get Jones before the desperado could get a chance to fire at him. Jones lay dead behind the boulder, with a bullet in his head. Jackson trusty rifle had put an end to the worst desperado who ever contaminated this county with his presence. As constable of Santa Ana township, Jackson was appointed a guard at the racetrack when many tough characters were about. His bravery in dealing with these people and his suppression of any wrong-doing on their part earned him the appellation of the coming sheriff of Orange county. Jackson's record is a good one, and he is some campaigner. In getting around among the people he takes a back seat to no one. What the result of this approaching contest between these two old-time rivals will be it will require the voters The float for which the board of supervisors of San Francisco have made an appropriation of $1200 has been designed by Maury Logan of San Francisco. A huge fruit and flower basket with a great harp relief map of San Francisco on each side constitutes the main design of the San Francisco float. A section of the Sierra Nevada mountains with a stream of running water and a portion of San Francisco bay, showing real water, are features of the float. The giant fruit basket will be done in a dull gold woven effect. Los Angeles will show a giant orange on a poppy background. A huge golden bear from whose collar will flow streams to be held by small pages will constitute another part of the float. The drum corps from Victory post, one of the largest units in the California American Legion, will march beside the float which represents its home city, Los Angeles. California oranges, raisins and walnuts will be distributed in great quantities to the people of Paris., France, by the American Legion delegates from this state to the national convention which will be held abroad this month. Throughout the line of march of the big parade which will feature the Legion's convention in Paris, the World war veterans from California will toss out California products from the floats which will be entered in the procession from this state. California organizations have joined with the Legion in providing the oranges, raisins, and walnuts which are now en route abroad with the eight hundred delegates who left San Francisco and Los Angeles on Saturday last. Scrap Heap Yields Millions of Dollars The largest reclamation and restoration plant in the United States is operated by the Santa Fe railway at Corwith, a suburb of Chicago. Covering 15 acres of ground with modern buildings, shops, and two rolling mills are employed in the rejuvenation of thousands of tons of material and equipment that is put back in service at a saving of considerably more than $1,500,000 to the company annually. These facts are set forth in the September bulletin, issued by President W. B. Storey, and written by S. T. Bledsoe, the general counsel of the Santa Fe system. "The Santa Fe was the pioneer railroad in the systematic reclamation of used materials," says Judge Bledsoe. "A reclamation plant was established at Corwith in 1907, with a 10x12 shanty for an office and a box car body for blacksmith. Now the plant covers 14 acres and employs an average of 650 men." Material is gathered from all points on the system of nearly 13,000 miles and shipped to Corwith, the official states. Useful material classified as scrap is carried to the reclamation plant, prin- As constable of Santa Ana township, Jackson was appointed a guard at the racetrack when many tough characters were about. His bravery in dealing with these people and his suppression of any wrong-doing on their part earned him the appellation of the coming sheriff of Orange county. Jackson's record is a good one, and he is some campaigner. In getting around among the people he takes a back seat to no one. What the result of this approaching contest between these two old-time rivals will be it will require the voters of the county to determine. That Jernigan desires to retain his office is undeniable, and that Jackson wants it again is not very far from the truth. The question arises "Who settles for all this?" A recall election costs money. Who is paying the bills? Following is a copy of the petition now in circulation demanding the recall of Sheriff Sam Jernigan: Recall Petition Demanding the Election of a Successor of Sam Jernigan, Sherif of Orange County, California. To the Honorable Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange, State of California. We, the undersigned, qualified electors of the County of Orange, State of California, hereby petition for the removal and recall of, and by our signatures hereto do hereby recall and demand the removal of Sam Jernigan from the office of Sheriff of the County of Orange, State of California, No being an elected official and or public officer who has held the said office for more than six months. We further petition and pray and demand as provided by law that an election of a successor to the said Sam Jernigan be called and held as provided by law. STATEMENT A statement of the grounds on which the removal is sought is as follows, to wit: That the said Sam Jernigan has been found by a Grand Jury of Orange County, of the State of California, in its report of August 17, 1927, after full opportunity for defense against charges made, to have been negligent, inefficient, A number of Indians in Wyoming recently drank a lot of moonshine liquor and still remained on the warpath. What a hardy race! unbusiness-like, and incompetent in the discharge of the duties devolving upon him as Sheriff of Orange County, California. Respectfully submitted.

Owing to anticipated heavy expenditures during the next year, including the erection and completion of new buildings, the supervisors Tuesday raised the county tax levy from $1.75, the rate last year, to $1.95. The new rate of $1.55 inside of cities is the highest the county has had, having been equalled only in 1915 and 1916. This year's tax levy will amount to $3,007,042.50, compared with $2,433.132.21 for last year. The chief factors said to be responsible for the increased tax rate include an estimated expenditure of $116,000 for water conservation and preliminary control activities, in connection with the new county flood control district; a building program at the county hospital, required to relieve congestion there; an increase of $83,603.58 in salaries and the upkeep of county departments, of which nearly $30,600 is occasioned by the fight to control mealy bug, codling moth and other field and orchard pests, and a half million dollar increase in the road and bridge building program, which will reach this year, $1,512,000, compared with $803,988.76 for last year and an average of approximately $1,000,000 for the last several years. Considerable discussion centered about the raise in the general fund rate from 16 to 35 cents. Members of the board had expected to make a raise of 10 cents in the total inside rate, but were forced to double that increase after Auditor W. C. Jerome called their attention to his statistics, showing the budget requests, which included several bulky items in the general fund. Jerome warned the board that balances carried in the various funds in previous years had been parured "down to the bone" and that last year the county lived off its previous balances to an alarming extent, because the tax rate was not sufficient to raise the amount the county spent. The general fund was actually three cents short of its needs last year, and the same condition existed with respect to the salary fund, the balances being reduced $44,459.47 in the general fund. Thousands Throng to Orange County Fair (Continued from Page One) each day will be a feature day of a feature exhibition which gives credit to a hard-working board and its efficient manager. The following prizes were announced by the Judges Monday night: The Pomona Chamber of Commerce, with an exhibit that evoked much praise from visitors, took first prize for a visiting display and won the purse of $150. The San Bernardino Chamber of Commerce and the National Orange Show, with a combination display, took second and a purse of $100, while the Riverside Chamber of Commerce and Southern California Fair took third and $50 in cash. In the specialized farm center exhibits, Tustin took first with a prize of $150 and the right to represent Orange county in the Los Angeles County Fair at Pomona; Yorba Linda won second and a prize of $100. La Habra took third prize. In the diversified exhibits, Garden Grove, which also won last year, won first place and the right to represent Orange county at the Southern California Fair at Riverside, in addition to the $150 cash prize. The Buena Park farm center took second and a $100 prize with West Orange farm center taking third and $50 in cash. Predicting the enactment of the Swing-Johnson bill at the next session of congress, Representative Swing, speaking at the opening of the fair last night on the subject of the Boulder dam, said every possible effort will be made by the power interests of the country to defeat the measure. Blind Physician Captures Bride Dr. Willis Shay, blind osteopathic surgeon, the son of Mrs. M. Shay of Prospect avenue, Yorba Linda, and owner with his mother, of a large orange grove in that section, and Miss Alice Berrice Hlder, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Hilder of 228 Fern Drive Fullerton, were married on Wednesday, at St. Paul's cathedral, Los Angeles. Dr. Shay, who is a graduate of the Fullerton University high school, the FulPrivate Funds for Survey of River An appropriation of $6666.67 for the survey of the Santa Ana river has been authorized by the Orange county supervisors in conjunction with the supervisors of Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Depletion of the co-operative fund for carrying on the river survey for three counties and the state forced an emergency appropriation, the local board was advised in a communication from Francis Cuttle, chairman of the Tri-Counties Water Conservation Association. The fund had but $2372.35. Cuttel reported. State Engineer Paul Bailey now employed as engineer for the Orange county flood control district, was quoted by Cuttle as stating that the fund must have contribution within thirty days or the survey, which is of especial importance to Orange county at the present time would be interrupted. Automobiles Cause More Deaths Than War More persons have been killed in traffic in the United States in eight years than soldier dead of the American forces in the World war. It is shown by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce that, from January 1, 1919, to December 31, 1926, the horrible total of fatal accidents from automobiles was 137,017. Compare this with the total number of casualties in the American forces participating in the World war—that total was 120,050. But add to the gruesome total of traffic deaths the appalling number of injured—3,500,000 since the Armistice! Of the killed and injured, in traffic, 26 per cent were children under the age of 15. Last year the number of traffic deaths was 23,000—the highest record in any one year. These figures are illuminating. They should startle the American people into co-operating in movements for greater safety in traffic. No indictment lies against the automobile, in and of itself. It is not inherently defective. Very few fatal traffic accidents occur from flaws in machines. It is the human equation Blind Physician Captures Bride Dr. Willis Shay, blind osteopathic surgeon, the son of Mrs. M. Shay of Prospect avenue, Yorba Linda, and owner, with his mother, of a large orange grove in that section, and Miss Alice Barnice Hilder, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Hilder of 928 Fern Drive, Fullerton, were married on Wednesday, at St. Paul's cathedral, Los Angeles. Dr. Shay, who is a graduate of the Fullerton Union high school, the Fullerton Junior college, and the University of California, recently obtained his final degree at the College of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons, Los Angeles, and is now practicing in northern Orange county. His blindness did not prevent him from graduating from the osteopathic college with the highest honors in his class. The bride was last year a student at the Fullerton Union high school. Her father is a prominent brick contractor of Fullerton. Dr. Shay lost his eyesight in 1913 when a dynamite cap exploded into his face while he was working in his grove. He is the brother of Mrs. L. L. Tanner, well-known club woman of Fullerton. The couple left immediately after the ceremony on a month's honeymoon trip to Oroville, Cal. They expect to make their home in northern Orange county. The American people are profoundly concerned to keep this nation out of war And rightly and properly so. But let it be remembered that this nation has been engaged in two major wars since the Civil War, and that a far greater number of persons have been killed or wounded in traffic since 1895 than the number of soldiers killed or wounded in the war with Spain and the World war. While depreciating war and doing all possible to keep this nation and other countries out of war, let it not be forgotten that the United States has more to fear from traffic perils than it has to fear from war.
