The Pacific highway miuidle in Polk county is virtu
ally settled, according: to the Polk County Observer, and
the solution is very simple in ine t'sumuuun ui my iny
hoc" nf fVtp rppflll movement. Here it is: Ulrich will
defeat Judge Robinson in the election and then Ulrich
will grant the highway commission the authority to go
suth from Monmouth, accept the present route north,
Wvinff Dallas and Independence on stubs.
AnH thp nhsprver hasn't a hesitancy about it. There
is not even one little if not a cog in the wheel wjiich
will slip. It is really just a little remarkable how easy
it will be to get rid of this botnersome matter, tui it win
require will be :
The election of Ulrich as county judge.
The conversion of the two county commissioners to the
Observer's plan of procedure.
A decision by the supreme court that the law which
specifically routed the highway through Polk county des
ignating the town through which it should pass and bond
ing the state for several millions declared uncon
stitutional. A bond issue by Polk county to raise necessary money
1 1 All 1 1 1 I
for preparing the road bed ot tne proposed nignway
south from Monmouth.
And before all of these things can happen it is just pos
sible that the wind will veer again and the Observer will
be following still another course.
It has been said that the Lord tempers the wind to the
shorn lamb. There are still some folks in Polk county
who cling to the idea that laws are to be obeyed and
they will continue to cling to that idea even though re
call elections become weekly affairs.
