m ROUTE CHOICE
HELD Ifl GOOD FAITH
Highway Commission's Act
Backed by Judgs McCourt.
INJUNCTION TRIAL ENDS
Arguments Will Be Heardi Monday.
Complaint Declared Sijnetl y
Wrong Official.
That th state highway commission
acted in good faith in the Polk county
road controversy, was the opinion of
Judge McCourt yesterday when the
testimony in the Polk, county road in
junction trial 'was completed. The
argument will be made next Monday.
Judge McCourt said that the plain
tiffs, who came as taxpayers, had no
fcrievance, because the testimony dis
closed that the highway commission's
jnogramme was saving money. The
district attorney of Polk county
signed the complaint, but the court
held that the district atorney, who
was not present in court, had no
standing in the case, the court stat
ing that, instead of the district at
torney, the proper official would be
the attorney-general, but it happens
that the attorney-general is on the
side of the highway commission.
Judge Mi-Court also declared that
there was an agreement between the
hiKhway commission and the county
court, and that the highway commis-t-ion
has been keeping the promise,
but that the plaintiff has violated it.
Dallas Route Is Upheld.
Irrespective of the agreement and
the injunctiontproceedings. Judge Mc
Court' observed that he was etill of
the opinion that the Pacific highway
should go through Dallas, that being
his interpretation of the road law.
lix-County Judge Kirkpatrick, a
resident of Dallas, was on the wit
net's stand yesterday morning. Judge
Kirkpatrick, when asked what he
considered the most appropriate loca
tion for the Pacific highway, replied
that the highway commission has put
the road where it ought to be. He
said that during the election, when
the Polk county bond issue was up,
he was a candidate for re-election and
he declared that if elected he would
insist on a certain route. His op
ponent, Asa Robinson, said Judge
Kirkpatrick, on the other hand, told
the voters that he would build where
the highway commission said. This
issue was well understood by the
voters, admitted Judge Kirkpatrick,
and his opponent was elected. Judge
Kobinson has since refused to build
- the grade from Monmouth south, the
location selected by the highway
commission. During the trial there
were frequent references to Judge
Kobinson and Mr. Hirschberger and
as to what they did and eaid, until
Judge McCourt inquired who repre
sented Polk county Judge Robinson
or Mr. Hirschberger?
Injunction Ties Up Road Work.
The Injunction proceedings have
tied up a couple of road jobs. One
of these jobs of pavement can be com
pleted in three or four days, a matter
of about 2000 yards, which is as far
as the contractors on that job planned
on going this season. The other job
is considerably longer. The latter can
-also be completed this season if the
injunction is dissolved,
i .Members of a committee from Dallas
who have been attending the proceed
ings stated yesterday that what they
want i to have the highway commis
sion resume the work of paving from
Dallas to Salem, which will give them
a good thoroughfare to the state cap
ital, and that they have not gone back
on the agreement with the highway
commission as to the location of the
Tacific highway through the county
mid particularly from, Monmouth
north.
Mr. Benson, chairman of the com
mission, pointed out, however, that
the agreement of the commission was
with the county court and not with
citizens of Dallas or Independence,
because the commission can deal only
with the county courts.

Attention of the Oregon Humane

days ago and an investigation was
made, by one of the men connected
with the society. Any bruises, if such
there were, were carefully covered up
at that time, however. Attention
was later called to the case by neigh
bors and others making complaint and

everything possible to hinder the in
vestigation and shield the husband.
Mrs. Swanton declared. The facts may
be laid before a grand jury, she intimated.
PLEA MADE TO GOVERNOR
Wire or Blind Man Asks ir Law Pre
vents Pencil Sale on Streets.
SALEM, Or., Sept. 2. (Special.)
Mrs. E. C. Smith of 6527 Seventy-second
street, Portland, has written a
letter to Governor Olcott asking
whether there is any law in Oregon
preventing a blind man from selling
lead pencils on the streets.
She said her husband had been blind
for many years, but prior to 1917 the
family had the financial assistance of
her son. He then was summoned to
war, according to Mrs. Smith's. letter
and lost his life while engaged in
battle a year later. Although he left
$2000 insurance, Mrs. Smith said this
was insufficient to pay for the family
home and liquidate other accumulated
debts.
A ttw months ago Mrs. Smith said
the Portland city council ordered her
husband to desist from selling pencils
on the streets there, with the result
that his income was wiped out with
the exception of $7 a month con
tributed by the county.
Governor Olcott has referred Mrs.
Smith's letter to the Portland officials.
