that the state commission had tenta

(TRYING TO DO BY BRIGANDAGE
I WHAT THEY COULD NOT DO BY
FAIR AND LAWFUL PROCEDURE
IB
PJGANDAGE in an unusual
terday. The affair is of interest to Eastern Oregon and
particularly to Umatilla county.
We will let this extract from the Portland Oregonian's newt
story give the facts :
"Forced to place the Wallula cut-off on the state ir.ap as
primary road, or cause to be held up a number of important
roads by the federal road officials, the Oregon highway com
mission accepted the .situation late yesterday afternoon. Fed
eral officers practically held the gun on the highway commis
sion, but following the surrender on the part of the latter, the
rest of the program was carried out quickly."
what he could not accomplish by fair and lawful tactics.
Tho federal road law does not contemplate that any whipper
snapping engineer shall turn highwayman. On the contrary
the law provides that recognition be given to state and regional
rights as presented by the chosen representatives of the people.
The spirit of that law has seemingly been openly and flagrantly
violated.
In private life when a holdup occurs it is the part of good
citizenship to report the affair to the proper officers so that the
bandit may be hunted down and placed in jail. Only by that
course may me saiery oi ine pudiic ue protected. I he sairn
principle applies in his case.
If the people of Eastern Oregon- previously had reasons IV
objecting to the Wallula cutoff we have greater reasons now
We formerly objected to the proposed cutoff because it woult
be a needless million dollar extravagance that woukl work in
;ury rather than benefit to Eastern Oregon. We now have ;
right to protest that the federal government, through Ihe'worl
of an assinine bureaucrat is trying to force this deal upon us b
use of methods no decent citizen may sanction in sea respect. .
The East Oregonian does not submit to holdup artists or t
those who threaten. We know that the people of Eastern Ore
gon are of the same calibre. A few days ago the editor of thi;
paper was called by long distance phone by a party who plainl;
said that unless local opposition to tne Wallula cutoff ccasei
steps would be taken to fight our south road, though the merit
of that latter project were admitted. The party in questioi
was told to go to it and that we did not propose to change ot
opinions because of any attempt at blackmail.
The method by which the Wallula cutoff was placed on th
road map constitutes nothing more nor less than a high handed
outrage, the tactics used violate every principle of fair play
and good government. The issue is not settled. It is a recog
nized principle of law that a concession secured under duress if
null and void. Certain gentlemen once thought that the New
berry case was officially and finally settled when Newberry was
awarded his purchased seat. Put these gentlemen are wiser
now and Mr. Newberry is a private citizen.
We should go to the mat on this new phase of the Wallula
cutoff controversy and carry the fight to the limit. We can do
no less and retain our self respect or the respect of others.
