JUST LIKE THE KAISER

The ferry situation would be amusing were it not so
exasperatng The latest phase and one Of the comic
opera variety the county judge of Polk county, who is
really one Of the parties to the dispute enoning Maons
county Judge from permitting the operation OF the free
ferry between Salem and the Polk county shore This IN
junction was served Thursday while number OF Polk
county farmers were this side of the river and the
result was they had to put up the price to the Skinner
Bushnell ferry, or stay away from home 1t seems Gems a
queer proceeding for the Polk county judge to take
position that compes Polk county farmers to pay Tor
ferry service they otherwise might have had free but
that seems to be about the size of it. Of course the Polk
county Judge may set up that he was only acting IN
judicial capacity and at the suit OF other parties wcn
Is perhaps true but the fact the injunction was issued
following the many hndrances to getting bridge or any
other means of crossing the river by the Polk county
official gives the matter at least the appearance OF one
of the parties to dispute acting in Judicial capacity
in settling it.
Marion county has done everything possible to give
the people of Polk county free transportation and access
TO the CITY, and the only reason it has not been success
full is due 10 opposition from their own officials would
seem the Polk county court takes much the same poSlon
as to the Willamette river the kser does towards tne
Atlantic ocean-that is that he owns it-and can forold
others crossing it.
