It is fairly plain mui "f1"

through Independence. Yet the high
way commissioners appear to feel that
this matter is one entirely in their
hands, and when righteous protest is
made against such high-nanuea tac

the attitude of the very eminent high
way commission of the state of Ore
gon toward Tolk county. The hon
orable gentlemen or kiddies who are
attempting to run the highways of
the state have decreed that this coun
tyor county court needs a spank
ing, and of course, to officials who
appear to feel that their will or de
sire must be unquestioned irrespec
tive of what measures may have been
enacted by the legislature, the shing
le is the only remedy.
The commission is sorely grieved
because the Polk county court will
not sanction a stretch of the Pacific
highway between Monmouth and Su
ver. The commissioners are insist
ing that the highway be built south
from Monmouth and the county court
maintains that it can only be legally
built by going from Monmouth to In
.lenendence and then south whence

as well as the balance of the county,
is anxious to have this highway com
pleted, but it does not propose to be
made a "gout" by the highway com-mission.

signated as American Legion week.

Independence is asking for only
what it is entitled no more or no
