proyements in progress at Pasco,
among other things the Kennewick
Reporter says. 1t is useless to say
Pasco is not ready for those things.
The people of that town are ready for
them and they are going TO have them.
In the meantime, they are having a
lot Of money spent in the town and
rncouraging their business men. These
municipal improvements make large
payrolIs and the payroll makes bust
ness for the merchant But is this
thing Of making business for the mer-
chant at The expense Of the property
holders the blessing that it is cracked
up to be? Civic pride that insists upon
municipal imUr0yem ents is cOmmenda-
bic when confined within reasonable
bounds but do not new towns strain
a point and over do this matter Of pub
lie improvements? IT j. easy TO pile
M debt where credit is good, but too
often debt is contracted without seri-
Gus consideration as to the means OF
final Davmcnt II i much the same
with communities IS with individuals.
There is something wanted that costs
money. IL is procured upon a promise
of future liquidation. The debt thus
made draws interest. and not infre-
auentIy before the obligation is met
the interest that has been paid
amounts to more than the principal.
There is hardly a city, or town, in the
state that is not deeply in debt, many
fully I'D TO the legal limits. This debt
increases taxation, and is constant
and heavy drain upon the resources
Of every resident of the place where
the debt exists Besides this direct
taxation improvements are made, very
often upon the solicitation of real es-
tate dealers who expect to reap rich
harvest by the increase in values OF
property in the district to be improved,
that are paid for BY assessments upon
the lots and lands supposed to be ben
Gifted by the improvements. In some
cases these assessments reach the
point of confscatiOn. How man
working on a salary, or earning liv-
ing BIZ following a trade, can own a
home in the city and meet this con-
slant drain is beyond understanding.
Not only does the property holder OF
today carry the burden, but the issu-
ance OF long time bonds is discounting
the future, making a debt for the chill
dren Of the present generation to meet.
Certain municipal Improvements are
absolutely necessary, but it would be
far better for the general welfare of
the residents of a town if more econ
omy was pracyiced in municipal af-
fairs, and greater judgment used in or
dering internal improvements. If pub
lie officials were as eager to reduce the
Indebtedness OF their town as they are
TO increase that indebtedness. there
would be lighter imposts to meet by
the residents thereof, and in the end
it would prove more profitable to the
merchants than the temporary advan-
tage to be enjoyed through the distri-
button of the sums paid out for public
work

After a struggle extending over
many years the citizens of Spokane
have at last won out in their cOnten-
ton for lower freight rates from the
east Under the old tariff schedule the
coast cities had a great advantage over
interior points. Railroads contended
that this concession was necessary in
competition with the water carry. This
may have been the true reason for the
discrimination in rates, but it placed
a heavy handicap upon Spokane deal
ers. who could not successfully COM
pete in their own field against the
wholesalers of Seattle, Portland and
Tacoma. The interstate commerce
commission has at last passed upon
the Spokane case, and the new freight
rates established by that arbitration
board are a very material reduction
over the old rates, and means a saving
Of hundreds of thousands of dollars to
the merchants of that city annually.
This is the most important stroke of
good fortune that has ever fallen to
Spokane, and should, and will, have a
strong influence in the future growth
Of the place in population, wealth and
business supremacy. Few interior
cities are more fortunately and favor
ably situated than Spokane. There is
a very empire, rich in diversified re-
sources, directly tributary to that city.
It has no rival within a radius of hun
dreds of miles, a territory large
enough to support several cities of the
present size Of Spokane. 1t is the nat
ural center of vast agricultural, min
ing, stock raising and timbered re-
gions. the trade from which grayitates
to it's doors In addition to superla-
lively advantageous location, it pos
sesses a marvellous water power that
is a very valuable asset in conjunction
with its other advantages. Spokane
jObbers in the future should supply
the demand OF all this surrounding
country, with its many cities, towns
and villages, and will in the future,
now that it can enter the lists on a
fair footing with competing cities.
Great wholesale houses, and many of
them, should speedily spring into eX-
istence, and trade develop in volume
beyond anything that is now enjoyed
by any competitor. Further. it will
encourage and be an incentive for,
the establishment of factories and
manufacturing industries. Spokane
people are to be congratulated upon at
last gaining the point they have so
long and earnestly striyen for, and
which means so much for the future
wcll-being and prosperity of the city.

1t was rather a short-sighted policy
on the part of the commissioners to
vote money to aid the Riverside fair,
and ignore the assistance asked for
the Chesaw fair 1t looks like discrim-
nation, and left an opening for much
bitter complaint in locality that has
had cause to feel that it has been neg
lected in the past. The better it would
have been, both in order to remove all
cause for criticism, and on the ground
of economy, to withhold aid to any
public enterprise of the kind. for nat

the refusal to grant another would stir
