Farewell Retention.

The farewell reception last night for
Rev. H. J. Zercher at the Congrega-
tional church was highly enjoyable
affair to the large number present.
Rev. Dry spoke briefly on the duties Of
the pastor and his difficulties. He
bore personal testimony to the benefit
he had received from Mr.. Zercher.
Rev. futile followed and emphasized
the esteem in which the retiring pas
tor was held by the community in
general. Rev. Zercner next delivered
his farewell words. He spoke first par
tlcuIarly to the members of his church
then to the members of the community
with whom he had come in close
touch. He would still retain \ deep
interest In the community, he said,
and would continue to pray for those
whom he had endeavored to bring into
q closer relation with Jesus Christ, the
supreme fact of human history. At
this point Mr.. Zercher left to take his
train for Portland on his way to his
home at Salem, Oregon. "Blest be the
Tie that Binds" was sung and n general
farewell hacdshaking took place.
After the internission the program
was resumed. Readings were given by
Miss Bertha Trip and Mrs. Geo Eg-
bert, that were approximately received
Wilbur Weisel recited and was heartily
applauded and the Weisel children
sang trio. "Grandpa Knows" The
ladies' of the church served refresh
ments of cake, coffee and waters, and
time Of general seciability and good
cheer ensued.
This reception was the conclusion of
year and half's passionate with the
local church, during which the society
has been greatly strengthened. In
conclusion we believe it can be truth
fully said that Mr.. Zercher has had the
friendship. good will and respect of
everyone in Kennewick as, 10 other
man has.

SETTLEMENT AGREED ON
Attorney krutZ' Tax View Examined

Attorney krutz' Tax View Examined
The basis of settlement of the
county indebtedness has been
agreed ON between Auditors Gloyd
aud Newcomb of Benton and Yak
ina counties respectively. This
basis is the one contended for by
Benton county through it's officers
and is the plan carefully worked
out by worked out by Prosecuting
Attorney G. 0. Anderson and sup
ported by legal opinion written
by him that had the sanction of
every lawyer to whom it was sub
mitted excepting, perhaps, Attor-
ney Krutz of Yakima county. This
is a victory for Mr.. Anderson and
one saving several thousand dollars
to Benton county. This settle
ment without litigation so crafty
irg to every citizen and tax payer
is final and determinate on all the
questions at issue save one, that of
the unpaid delinquent taxes. On
this point it is agreed that prosecu-
ting attorneys of the respective
counties shall argue it before the
state attorney general at Olympia
and his decision is to be final. In
the Yakima Herald this week Pros
ecuting attorney Krutz claims all
the delinquent taxes for Yakima
and bases his claim on the following
section 274 of Ballinger's code
which reads; when a county is
divided or the boundary altered all
taxes levied before the division was
made or boundaries changed must
be collected by the officers of and
belong to the county in which the
territory was situated and before
the division or change"

had not been enacted. Then when

Ildu uCC Deeu cUSCtcU. uCN WACA
Benton county was created June II
1905, her officers would have col
lected the last half of the 1904 tax
and the delinquent tax in Benton
and deprived Yakima of her pro-
portion she is Justly entitled to.
To prevent this, section 274 pro-
vides that "All taxes levied before
division shall be collected by and
belong to" the old county, that is,
become the PROPERTY of the old
county, which is perfectly right
and proper. On the contrary, for
the old county TO RETAIN all this
newly acquired property, viz: The
taxes just now being paid in. would
deprive Benton county of her 1876
per cent of the partnership property
which is manifestly unjust to her.
The supreme court has held that
taxes and delinquent taxes, not
merged in lien, are county property.
This property, then, must be di-
vided between the two counties &C
cording to the equitable rule laid in
the special act of the legislature,
which we quoted; divided then in
the proportion that the assessed
valuation of Benton bears to the
assessed valuation of the whole of
YAkima.
This, it seems to the Courier, is
obviously just and fair. Justice to
both old and new counties is the
aim and purpose of the division.
We believe this view of the law
and of the matter will prevail in
the mind of the encouragement.
When it is explained it will meet
the approval of all fair-minded
people.
