In the opinion of the supreme courI
as TO the legal method Of administer
ing the county road system, which is
quoted at some length in the news
columns, we are gratified to find ouI
assertions made within the past year
and particularly within the past two
or three weeks, substantiated by the
highest court in the state.
We have insisted that common
sense, business Judgment, equitable
taxation, and the state law required
that the county roads be administered
as whole, and not primarily by dis
tricts. We have argued that the road
district was merely a subdivision in
tended to facilitate the handling of the
county road system, and not a unit,
independent of all other such units,
for administering pieces of roads that
begin nowhere in particular, and end
nowhere in particular.
With the recent decision of the su-
preme court there dawned the first
hope in many years that we could
have, if the commissioners would obey
the mandate of the court, an equita BILE
assessment of the road expense upon
the property of the county.
1t is only by the election of INTEL
igent and competent men that we can
hope to have an efficiently road sys-

such an event would be accomplished
by the war Turkey, he said had been
guaranteed integrity of territory for
