PROTEST OVER
RECLAMATION
North Yakima People Press Their
Demands for Better Distribu-
ton of the Funds.

North Yakima and Yakima valley
people are out after a better pro-
portion of the reclamation funds and
are taking steps to have the interests
Of this state recognized. No COM
plant is made with the manner in
which the special $20,000,000 fund is
disbursed but there is strong feel
ing that the reclamation fund itself
is not being distributed with a mind
free to the needs and the claims of
this section of the state. This feeling
is expressed in a newsletter sent by
Western Union last night to Senator
Jones, from the Commercial club Of
this city. The same resolutions were
sent to the Commercial club and the
Chambers of Commerce Of the cities
of Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Belling-
ham and Everett. The resolutions
are as follows:
Text of Resolutions.
At a meeting of the Commercial
club held January IL, 1911, the fol-
lowing resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
"Resolved-That inasmuch as the
state Of Washington has to January
1, 1911, contributed to the reclama-
ton fund 9.79 per cent and has re-
ceived from that fund to the same
date 7.18 per cent and has by act
of the legislature turned over to the
government all the surplus water of
the Yakima watershed with tacit un-
derstanding that the government
would develop to it's full capacity the
storage of such water, and
Whereas, the award made by the
board of army engineers does not give
to the state of Washington any more
money from the reclamation fund for
five years. we
Protest Against Award.
Hereby protest against this award
and urge the representatives at Wash
ngton to use every effort in their
power to have this injustice corrected
and to have a sufficient amount from
the reclamation fund appropriated to
the state of Washington to complete
the projects already begun in this
state, and especially that known as
the Kittitas High Line, and to COM
plete the necessary works for the
storage of the surplus water"
1t is expected that this resolution
will be forwarded to the national
capitol by the various bodies in this
state to THE attention of which II
has been called.

RECOMMENDATIONS
ON STATE. ROADS
Governor Hay Would Tax Auto
mobiles Twenty-Five Cents for
Every Horse Power.

In view of the present agitation In
favor Of good roads the recommends
tions Of Governor Hay on this point
in his message to the legislature will
be Of interest. They are as follows:
1. That the county engineer must
be a graduate of reputable school
Of engineering, and that upon him
shall devolve the supervision of con,
struction.
2. That the State Aid Road law
be renamed and re-enacted and
called County Aid.
3. That to this law be added q
new section which would be State
Aid. This should provide that where
county will make a road in con-
sonance with the desires Of the State
Highway department, the state shall
pay Is per cent of the estimated cost
for dirt roads; for semi-macadam
roads 80 per cent, and for macad-
amized roads 40 per cent.
4. That tax of rs cents per horse
power per annum be levied upon
each motor vehicle in the state. This,
the message estimates, will yield a
revenue in excess of $4,000 for the
biennium. This fund shall be ap-
piled for rosd maintenance.
S. That the State Highway Com
mission. now composed of the State
Auditor, state Treasurer and State
Highway Commissioner. be increased
by adding thereto the Governor and
a member of tho Railroad Commits
sion.
tot To- no. c1,o Ao
piled to highways, but that after the
convict has served his minimum SEN
tence to his credit be applied SO cents
a day, the SO cents to be either sent
to his family or. in the event of his
having no family. be allowed to ac-
cumulate and be given to him upon
his discharge.
He finds that the highways depart
ment has done the best it could I'M
der the present state road laws. He
points out that the bulk of the money
spent on the state roads has been
expended by the county. For every
dollar the Taxpayer has expended
during the past biennium. 84.42 cents
has been expended through the
county commissioners and only 1858
through the state, he says.
Not Altogether Popular.
There Is nothing so certain as the
fact that the state aid road law will
be repealed and another measure
substituted in its place. says an
Olympia dispatch. All agree as to the
evil but there is divergence of op-
inion as to the remedy. There are
certain west side counties. notably
Gle Elum county. that will make a
fierce fight on the present law. 50
far as could be learned today. the
governors recommendation along
this line are not altogether popular.
1t is considered as not reaching the
trouble.
