Polk Is S70ebt By COP
Tide: Unusual Interest
Displayed In Election

Dallas, Nov. 4.-One of the most
exciting elections that has been
witnessed in these parts for some
time was enjoyed Tuesday which
resulted in a complete victory for
the republican party in Polk coun-
ty. This is usually to be expected
inasmuch as Polk county has a
registration of two republicans to
every democrat ana misceIiane-
Gus registration. However. in the
past there have been a good many
democrats elected TO office tnd
Polk county has been one of the
counties to support George f..
Chamberlain in the past by quite
a majority. For some time, the in
dications were that the people were
not taking much interest in cleo
ton and, considering that there
are over 1000 registered in the
county and but about 4oc0 cast 4
vote at the election. it is rather
amazing that the interest was as
keenly noticeable as it was
The vote for Hardirg was 274A
while Cox received 172S. The pro-
hibitionists got the SIN al nmount
of 1O3 while the socialists cast
the number of 125. The industrial

Market Roads
Program Calls
For Half Million

A road program for the county
during 1921 embracing the expend
iture Of s530.0OO was tentativel,
outlined at a meeting of the Marion
County Market Roads committee al
meeting in the Commercial club
rooms yesterday. The proposal
calls for the issuance of $235,OO0 In
market road bonds and the dupli-
cation of this amount thru taxation
The purpose of the meeting was
to devise ways and means of dis
posing Of the bonds that had been
authorized at the election a year
ago last May. These bonds bear
5hT interest and can not be sold
below par, and the county court
has been unable to dispose of them
because money has been command
ing higher rate of interest.
A motion was made and carried
that it was the sense of the meet
ing that the Market Road Districts
In which the money Is to be spent
in the coming year, should sell or
buy the amount of bonds required
to do the work, 1t being understood
that 1t will be necessary to sell
$25O,000 worth Of bonds over the
entire county
1t was further agreed that in
case any district failed to thus dis
pose of the bonds allotted to it,
that some other district in which
little or no construction was to be
done during the coming year would
be given the opportunity to sell
some bonds and thereby cause ad-
ditional work to the extent of the
sale of the bonds, to be done in
that Market Road District.
1t will thus be seen that it will
be up to any district that has an
apportionment of bonds assigned
to it, Immediately subscribe or
agree to sell, their quota of bonds,
or there will be little or no market
road work done in their district
during the coming year.
No district VIII be REQUIRED to
subscribe for. or buy, this year
more bonds than will be required to
cover the work during the coming
year.
The County Court was request
ed by the committee to prepare an
estimate and report setting forth
the Market Road Districts In which
I ha co,Irfr co,y,.t S;nde, a. oxroa;o,,t
to do road work during the coming
year, and to apportion to each dis
trict the amount of bonds that II
will be necessary for that district
to sell.
Under the Market Road plan as
adopted prior to the election at
which the market road bonds were
authorized, the county court will
spend on market road construction
out of the funds raised by direct
taxation through the regular chan
nels, one dollar for every dollar
raised by the sale of the bonds, as
far as it is possible for the court
to do so. The exact amount will be
more or less than $1.0O according
to the amount of other expenses
that must be met out of these
funds.
Hurley Moore of Woodburn,
George Hubbs of Silverton, r. b.
Kay of Salem, and others. stated
that they were sure that their
districts would subscribe
for, or guarantee the sale of all of
the bonds allotted to their respec-
live districts as soon as the county
court made the allotment.
A motion was made and passed
oy the committee to the effect that

slider the election of Senator Hard

Senator Harding goes to the

ing among the larger part of the
nation, that wisconsin is alien to
American traditions and that
America should not entangle her
self in the affairs of distracted

Thinks League Safe.
This newspaper expresses the
opinion that the election of Senator
Harding does not mean autagonism
to the league of nations and be-
Iieves that America is searching in
her heart of hearts for some meth
ed or achieving the august purpose
OF the covenant which she can ap-
uTove without nisgiying."
The Yorkshire Post considers it
a good thing that the United States
should have elected the candidate
