The right and the proper, as well as the most peaceable, way
to settle the toll road question is to submit it to a vote of the peo­
ple. A scheme to that end was concocted in the Headlight office
last week, and the editor has taken off his coat, rolled up his
sleeves and does not propose to quit until Tillamook County is
relieved of one of the curses which has retarded its progress, kept
home seekers from coining here and is gradually depopulating the
ounty, for there are less people in Tillamook today than there
were five years ago, and it is more difficult to sell property or cat­
tle, because peapie do not want to tied-up behind toll roads or
be subjected to unjust toll.

As to the Wilson River Toll Road, we will now take that up
and show how the people is humbugged, lield-up and robbed in ’
open dav light and how they innocently submit. First, who > is
it that forms theWilson River Toll Road Co. ? Where does it get
,
its right to own the road ? And who are its officers, legally
authorized to transact business for the company ? Has the Wil-
son River Toll Road Company paid the corporation tax ?
On May Sth, 190a, the county court, contrary to law and ex­
ceeding its power, leased this road to what appears to be a bogus
concern for fifty years. Here is the document which the toll road
advocates worked through to bcttle-up that road :
