The people of Oregon have an opportunity to make the
interest rate four per cent, but it will be found that there
is nothing in the constitution which requires the loaning
of money at this rate or any other rate for that matter.

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.

Dallas postroad. Work was stopped on this highway
bv the highway commission purely as a spite action
wvipn pnnrt. dirpption brought a
v,oif r, mnmissirm's unlawful acts m the .Faciiic
highway routing, as a retaliation the commission or
dered operations suspended on the postrdad. 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

being pursued by a motor "cop," Simon Benson, chair
man of the state highway commission, came to grief at
Hubbard last Friday. His car ran into a car belonging

is the gist of the story as published in the Portland pa
pers. " Yet there was no mention of Mr. Benson's being
arrested. Was this overlooked by the newspaper men?

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

opinions, nevertheless laws are. operative until they are
superceded by proper action. The highway commis
