from every shore a million and more
year No profounder economic ques-
tiCn is receiving greater attention than
that of ranspOrtation-chea safe
convenient and swift.
And who is able to say the last
due ion and distribution of wealth. The
great problem is its distribution. This
means the social problem. At present
as in the past, the so-called wealth of
the world is in the hands of the few
While the aggregate wealth of the
many is very great. its effectiveness
as a factor in society in incomparably
less than the effectiveness of the ag-
grevate wealth of the few The prob
lem is not one of even distribution
per capita. 1t is not tina. every human
shall have so much and no more than
every other human. The problem is
one of the unrestricted use of wealth, a
free flow of opportunities and uses.
The problem is par, OF several other
problems; some economic, as, for in
stance, transportation; some political,
as the franchise of taxation. But
whatever the setting of the problem,
ii is one of the chief ones in the lives
Of most men. Because of its magni-
tude and comprehension it becomes a
public problem, and, therefore, ques-
ton involving public business-which
is another name for government 1t is
a problem which the people boldly
hand over to legislatures. congresses
and city commissions And it is some
times strangely performed as recent
events i'm certain OF our American
cities would indicate. The serious
ness of the problem is merely suggest
ed by the fact that our cities are rap
idly becoming the largest and richest
cities in the world. AS civil problem,
as a municipal problem, as an individ-
ual problem, the problem of the proper
distribution of wealth is as serious
and dificult as any which confronts
the American people.
But what Of the maintenance Of law
and order and the adequate protection
OF life and property In every commun-
ity? This, | take II, IS the hardest
problem of all which confront US. What
community in the United States is free
from danger? Mus. we not confess
that all our social and national evils
flow from our feeble maintenance OF
law and order and our inadequate pro
lection Of life and property? The sa
! loon, as ever. the chief law breaker
still naunts its red flag of defiance il
the face Of good government 1t still
continues to hatch its unholy brood
OF vices and many people wish TO have
1t so. The ever increasing and damn
ing power Of the social evil which vici
ously and openly breaks the law Of
God and man, the utter disregard Of
statutory and divine command to keeI
the Sabbath day pure. What are thes'
but indicators OF that lawless spiri
which produces anarchy in the natiol

These are indeed problems which face

The Christian church will have need

great theologians and philosophers,
from Athanasius to Jonathan Edwards,
are Christian names; the names of the
great orators, from Chrysostom to
Beecher and Brooks, are Christian
names; the names of the great poets
are Christ ian names. 1t is impossible

The answer comes back in the record
Of our times. Never was there so many
young men and young women eager to
go in the heart of the dark contin-
ents of the earth; never was there so
much money placed upon the affairs of
the church of God to missionize the

way that we use the possessions which
have been entrus ed to us. No one is
SO poor but that he may share his crust
with another hungrier than he is. But
it is one of the strange contradictions
of human nature that it is easier for
us to give when we are poor than when
we are rich. There was never day
when the call for dedication of wealth
vas so insis.ent as now. The great
'lelds of Christian enterprise are open
and inviting to all responsive hearts

for our Christ was never more possible

CITY TAXES FIFTEEN MILLS

The council met on Monday night
and fixed the tax levy for the COM
ing year at fifteen mills. The as
sessed valuation of the city as fur
nished by Assessor Severyns, is
$877, ,593 or s9.971 higher than last
year. The maximum levy of ten
mills for current expenses coupled
with $4,000 revenue from saloc and
other licenses gives an income Of
$13,77 to take care of the cost of
running the city during the coming
year. As the clerks estimate of
expenses this year was $1785O it is
evident that several of the depart
ment funds will need considerable
pruning to bring the budget within
the prescribed allowance.
The additional fve-mill levy will
give an income of S4387. 80 which
will take care of the $3.50 interest
on sewer bonds and pay off S2737 80
of the Indebtedness.

First Testimony in Christensen Case Bad
for Defendant-Trial May
Last Weeks

The Christensen murder trial,
which is holding the center of at
traction at Pasco this week, prom
ises to be long-drawn- out affair.
The selection OF the jury was fin
ished Tuesday and the twelve men
who will decide Mrs. Christensen s
guilt or innocence of the poisoning
of her husband are mostly farmers.
All Masons were rejected from
serving, as both Mr.. Christensen
and A. R. Carey, who will be tried
later, were members of that order.
The principal points to be estab-
lished by the examination of some
70 witnesses will be the degree of
intimacy alleged to have existed be-
tween Mrs. Christensen and Carey
and between Christensen and
Bobby Rouchet, a woman of
Pasco who is expected to be one of
the star witnesses.
The trouble between Mr.. and
Mrs. Christensen eliminated, ac-
cording to the testimony of one OF
Wednesdays witnesses, on the oc-
casion of a visit to the strawberry
festival held in Kennewick last
spring when they. in company with
four others, took a 'jny ride. "

HAD THREATENED TO KILL HUSBAND, SAYS WITNESS

The affair ended near midnight,
after all had been drinking, in an
alteration between Mr.. and Mrs.
Christensen in which he is said to
have knocked his wife down.
The following morning, which
was the morning preceding Chris
tensen's death, the witness quotes
Mrs. Christensen as saying, /
will kill him even if have to poi
son him."
Prof. Fullmer, state chemist, who
analyzed the stomach Of the dead
man and the contents of the flask
from which he had drank, testified
that he found in the stomach one
quarter of a grain of strychnine
sulphate, or more than enough to
kill, and that in about one-third of
an ounce of whiskey remaining in
the flask he had found four fifths OF
a grain of the poison.

y. G. Peterson, a carpenter, re-

was injured last Saturday night
when his residence burned. Mr..
Peterson was awakened about mid
night by the pain of the fire which
had caught in the bed clothes and
before he could make his way out
of the smoke filled room one of his
feet had been severely burned. The
house and contents were completely
destroyed. The bedclothes are sup
posed to have been fired by spark
from the wood heater.

Ever since the opening of the
county seat campaign the Pros
ser political never-sweats have at
tempted to justify their frame-up
to hammer the taxpayer over the
head with 100000 court house,
by singing the SIRENS song of the
county's being out of debt. Right
here we want to ask the newspaper
trio that has been so religiously
beating the tom toms, who is Ben
ton county? Is it that little bunch
of pinochle politicians, who want to
cinch the county seat at the Yak
ina line, regardless of cost or con-
sequences? Is it that coterie OF
Prosser bankers who hover over the
county's pocketbook like buzzards
over a carcass? Is it S. J. Harrison
who has an option on the Benton
City townsite, or is it a scheming
triumvate of all three?
Benton county, as an unofficial
unit. of government, may be out OF
debt, but how about Benton county
as an actual practical unit of So
ciety, as an association or commun-
ity of individuals? The shell of
recognized political machinery, Off
cially known as Benton county may
be gilt-edged, but how about the
bone, blood and sinew, the real, the
living Benton county? The cO117a-

about the farmers pocket
book. Is there o. balance in
1t? And If there is, Waere
under heaven is there q
good and Just reason for
taking it from him to Inr-
Mer the aims of o. fe1O
schenainS politicians?
Benton county can be no wealth
ier or no more prosperous than her
citizens. All this lofty talk about
the county's being out of debt is
like the empty boasts of the spend
thrift dude who is supported in
idleness by mother toiling at the
wash tub. County cash balances
and farmers empty pocketbooks
show the true status of affairs and
tell the whole story of high taxes
and the hard grind of pioneer life.
There should be money somewhere

been digging deep enough in their
pockets for the last five years and
