Subscription Rates One Year $1.50 Six Months .75 THE EDICT IS SIGNED And now it is the Dallas Observer that has shouldered the task of teaching Independence a lesson in highway ethics. It is last issue it pawed the air with what has the earmarks of being an "inspired" editorial in which it is intimated that drastic action will be taken unless Inde pendence gets down on its "tummie" to the highway com mission. Of POlirsP trip Ohsprvpr iss n liffla vacma in stating just the form of punishment to be administered, and it may appear just a wee mite inconsistent, but it should be remembered that the Observer is stronger at starting things than it is at finishing them. The editor ial alluded to is in the issue of June 2d : "The determination of Independence to conitnue the fight with the highway commission will only serve to increase the bitterness felt toward the county in other sections of the State. The o'ire county will be held responsible for whatever action is taken, and will in the end pay the penalty through action of the legislature or otherwise. The county's position politically will become hopeless, if the remainder of the state is defied, and the proposed suit of Inde pendence is a defiance. Those who travel about on the railway trains hear Polk county referred to in most uncomplimentary terms'. Thw hurts. It injures the county's chance of getting its share of the Set tlers who are coming this way, and it may result in some drastic action that will further injure the county. If Independence, as a part of the county, persists in a course that injures all other citizens it bhould be forcibly taught that it is but a small portion of the county. This can be done in many ways. If those folks over there have a friend with good judgement he should get busy and make it clear that if Independ ence expects fair play in the future it should stop this road agitation and allow Polk county to get a little of the state road money before the funds are exhausted." Will the Observer please state just what it means by "fair play?" This couplet appears to have a range of meaning. As an illustration: Independence is quite firmly convinced that it is not receiving "fair play" from the Observer. Notwithstanding that the OhsPTVPr has Vippti wnVMirr O . wA F V KS Villlg xxuui siuc tu me uuiex ui me mgnway question ior jl I i .... many moons, tne .enterprise wishes to call its attention to a very simple fact: It is not Independence that is responsible for any delay in lawful highway construc tion in Polk county. The Enterprise still clings to the idea that there is such a thing as right and wrong and that the highway com mission has been arbitrarily unjust in its treatment of Independence. And if the Observer would tune its ear to the people ratner man to a iew politicians, it might find that the jngnway commission is not as high and mighty as it pro lesses to be.
