Try INDEPENDENCE First THE PROPOSED RECALL Havinjr been appr. ached by the reactionists to become a can didate for county jude in the recall movement, which is pro posed by this faction, Mr. U. S. Grant declines to become identi fied with the undertaking, and in so doing expresses his confi dence in the present administra tion. And this feeling is not alone with Mr. Gra it. Insofar as The Observer is able to learn, public sentiment is largely against the proposed recall move ment. Nevertheless, if dissatis faction exists to such an extent that life is made miserable for any considerable portion of the con munity, it might not be unwhole some to present the matter tc the tax payers of the couniy for their decission. Majority rule is the fundamental principle of American government, und s vote on the issue that is.no agitating the minds of the dis pleased ones might have a cotv soling effect. Dallas Observer. There is talk of a recall of the county judge and the two county commissioners. That there is considerable dissatisfaction witl these officials throughout tlu county is apparent. Especially is this true as regards their road policy and expenditures. The writer, not having made a stuHj of the financial situation of th( county, nor being an expert at road-building, is not in a posi tion to say whether d not this criticism is merited. Therefore the Itemizer, for the present, at least, is neutral. Whether wf shall remain so throughout the recall campaign remains to b determined by our convictions after both sides of the contro versy have ben thoroughlj thrtshed out. Before casting their votes t recall the officials named, or even signing a petition for ar election for that purpose, then are a few things which th peo ple of Polk county would like t know and are entitled to know They would be assured that th men who are to succeed thi present judge and commission ers are more comoetent to han- lle the affairs of the county. fhey would like to be asauret that, granting that fact, thi new officials would be more fail and equitable in the distribu tlon of road funds. They would like to know that genuine econo my would be practiced and hon est effort made to reduce taxa tion without an impairment ol service. Ihey would like t know if there are "interests" back of the recall, as well as ii there are "interests" opposed t t. In fact, the voters will want FACTS, not theories of insinua tions. Dallas Itemizer. Trouble for the county court has been brewing for man moons.' It appears that the coun ty judge incurred thedispleasun of certain men and they have been zealously watching for an opportunity to raise his scalplock. Prom what can be gathtred it seems that certain localities where they have in the past been receiving more than their shart of the road funds are jealous ol the Falls City district through which the new road to the Coast is being built. Be it remember ed, however, that the Falls City district levied a special tax for this purpose and has shared least in the road money in the past and is certainly entitled to use her own money. Just what other ''breeches' of the peace or jud icial etiquette the Judge and his fallow servitors have been guilty of we are riot informed, but if this is the extent of bis delin quencies it will avail but little in this community.
