MISREPRESENTATION PARAMOUNT ISSUE i . , Misrepresentation continues to be the policy of the Oregonian in reference to Polk county road - affairs. Particularly is this true in regard to the fstuff which is printed under a Salem date line. Here is another one which appeared last Saturday: "Talk of an attempt to recall . the . county court of Polk county because of its attitude in refusing to establish the Salem-Dallas grade so that the highway commission may proceed withits pav ing operations there, is current in many parts of Polk county, ac cording to S. Benson, chairman of the commission, who was here today conferring with state officials. . "Refusal of the Polk county court to grade the Salem-Dallas road was due, it was said, to the determination of the court to build the west side Pacific highway on a route which eliminates Dallas and Independence. . - . . i-v XT As a matter of information to the uregoman, me T-n- a.. ,,4- vnc -nnt- wj-fncorl1 tr orarlp the Salem- Dallas postroad.

The Pa cific highway and the Salem-Dallas postroad are en tirely different highways. . As to the recall of the Polk county court. It is pure propoganda and in keeping with the policy of the hign way commission. It is quite possible that Mr. Benson did hear some recall talk, but as he seems to be afflicted with misunderstanding things, he probably did not sense to whom this recall talk applied. The Enterprise is of the opinion that were it possible i. .i u v.ov.na nf Qi'mnn "Rpnsnn nnrl R. A.

However, it will hazard a guess that the editor of the -Herald voted for the act which created the present highway commission and defined, the route ot the highway through Polk county. The presumption at that time was that it was not "a mere scrap of paper, to be ignored if considered inconvenient, unceuiiig that men and newspapers have a. right to change their opinions, nevertheless laws are. operative until they are superceded by proper action. The highway commis ffon fs attempting to violate this legislative enactment MiW ljhw through Polk county, and the commission has the support of the Herald.
