ROBINSON AT RAILING.

On the morning of August 22d Mir Robinson spoke to large crowd at a picnic given by the citizens of Barl- ing, in Sebastian county. Touching upon the Turner-Jacobson taxing bill. now before the people under the ref erendum, the nominee for governor on the Democratic ticket, said:
 "The Turner-Jacobson bill, revising our revenue system, is one of the most important measures to be considered under the initiative and referendum. In my opinion, it will be defeated by large majority. It's former advo' cates, even Governor Donaghey, seem to have abandoned it. The measure is mixture of good and bad pro- visions. Vital objections are found in the fact that its primary purpose is avowed to be a reduction in the rate of taxation, when as a matter of fact it provides for the same total rate as now collected.
 Ut diminishes the State school rate.
 Tt decreases the Confederate pen sion rate.
 "It increases tie general revenue rate at the expense of the State school rate and the Confederate pension rate.
 "The burden of the Turner-Jacob- son bill will fail on the poor and the humble.
 Under it, farmers must assess their property for taxation February lst in- stead of June 1st. Thus they will pay on corn, meat, cotton and other products of their toil These are not now taxed because the farmer usually sells them or consumes them before June lst.
 "The right to appeal Is sacred safeguard established firmly In our jurisprudence.
 Under the Turner-JacobSon bill, appeals concerning taxes are sub- stantially denied the poor. At pres ent appeals may be taken from the county boards of equalization to the county courts without formality or considerable cost. Under the Turner. Jacobson bill. the county court is eliminated and appeals must be here after prosecuted by every citizen sep arately. either to the Circuit Court or to the Tax Commission. Both methods are prohibtive against the ordinary citizen, because that will re- quire great expenses for attorneys fees and costs. The fact that no ade- quate remedy by appeal exists for the poor, will encourage an increase in their taxes.
 "The ordinary citizen could not af- ford to appeal either to the Circuit Court or to the Tax Commission. If an appeal is taken to the Circuit Court, a lawyer must be employed and all appeals prosecuted separately. If an appeal is taken to the Tax Com mission, the citizen must pay the mileage and per diem of his witnesses to appear before the commission. The mere statement of the facts show conclusively that the benefit of ap- peal is denied in ordinary cases un- der the Turner-Jacobson bil. A poor man could better afford to pay twice the just amount of his taxes rather than incur the expense of an appeal.
 The financial condition of our State demands careful consideration.

ENGLISH PRIEST WILL
 INSTALL FILM SHOW

A SUIT IS belng created h Leeds, England, religious circles by the suggested introduction of educational cinematograph dis plays at the St. Patrick's s Roman Catholic Church by Canon Col lingwood, says the Bioscope. The reverend gentleman is arranging for number of the senior schol. ars from St. Patrick and St. Charles Schools to a picture house to witness films of an edu- cational nature. The films are to be displayed at the St. Pat rick's Picture House, formerly the St. Patrick's Parochial Hall which had previously been let to firm of picture show pro- prietors. Some time ago the church decided to run the Pic ture House under it's own super vision, and committee of man. agement was appointed, consist ing principally of prominent church workers, who made a special point of selecting only programmes of films which were not likely to have any prejudicial effect upon the minds of the children.
 The profits which are expected to accrue from the picture shows will be devoted to the church funds, the shows are not allowed to intefere in any way with the other work of the church, for when a concert, church meeting, or any similar function is to be held the pictures are suspended. The ordinary charges of admis' sion are in operation. Members of the Leeds Educational Com mittee are invited to attend the shows while the children are present in order that they may see for themselves by what mea- sure of success the experiment is attended.
 It is interesting to note that already at the Belgrave Congre- gational Church in New Brig gate, Leeds, moving pictures are being shown at Saturday evening concerts, and also at the young peoples social service after the ordinary Sunday evening service while a similar innovation has ta- ken place at other institutional churches in Leeds and various parts of England. Ample proof is forthcoming on all hands that in the future the cinematograph Is likely to develop into very important educational instru- ment, and it is urged on behalf of living DictureS. for instance, that one attendance at show at which film on the Eruption of Mount Etna" was thrown onto the screen would teach the child ren more about this wonder of

PUPILS RECITAL PLEASES

A splendid recital of twenty-four
numbers was given at the Presby-
terian church, Thursday evening by
the pupils of Mrs. K. c. Clifford
and Miss Ethel Burlingame. Many
of the players were children and
the two classes gave evidence Of
careful training and individualeffort.
Not few with unusual musical abil-
ty give promise of becoming musi-
clans of some note should they con-
tinue their studies.
The platform was prettily deco
rated with roses and ferns and the
church was well filled with friends
and relatives interested in. the pro-
gress of the young performers. Mrs.
Clifford and Miss Burlingame are to
be congratulated upon the success
of the musicale, as it was the best
which has been given in Kenne-

CITY HONORS MEMORY
OF NATIONS HEROES
Memorial Day Celebrated by Exercises
at Church and Cemetery,
Parade and Dinner

With the red, white and blue hy-
ing from nearly every place of bust
ness and used further in MANY of
the window displays, a glance at
Second street would have told any
one that yesterday was Memorial
Day. Organized effort for the fit
ting observance Of the day set apart
for the remembrance of the nations
dead, and the obliging cooperation
of the weather man, brought most
OF the citizens out to participate in
the activities.
Most of the standing room was
taken at the Congregational church
where a patriotic program was opened
shortly after ten O'Clock by STIR
ring medley of national airs played
by the band. This was followed by
a prayer by Rev. Orr and a reci-
tation was given by Miss Lydia
Evans. The true significance of
the day was portrayed in a read
ing by Mrs. A. B. Ely and many
eyes were wet with tears before she
finished the story of a home wrecked
by war, a story which has had
thousands of counterparts in the
lives of those who have fought the
country's battles. The audience
was favored with a vocal solo by
Mrs. Dayton H. Stewart. Her Sc
lection, THE Star Spangled Ban
ner," was we'll chosen and well sung.
Edward Sheppard, who acted as
chairman, introduced Judge O. L.
Holcomb, the speaker of the day.
His talk was greatly appreciated
and was filled with the patriotic en-
thusiasm of the son OF a soldier and
decendent of fighters of Revolution
ary fame. The service was closed
with America sung by the entire
audience and led by the band.
After the service there was a pa
rade of the band, the veterans, their
families, and others interested in
patriotic demonstration.
A large number went to the GEM
etary to decorate the graves and up
on their return dinner was served
in the Eakin building by the Wo-
mans Relief COrns

OLD SHOW HOUSE TRANSFORMED

The large crowd which filled the
Kennewick Opera House, formerly
the Pavilion, to witness the opening
show, Thursday evening found the
place transformed into a comfort
able house, we'll furnished and
lighted. The walls have been tinted
green, stage door and fire exit put
in and the interior is much i'm
proved. The old curtain with the
ancient ads of business firms dead,
gone and forgotten, which has been
a standing joke with the Pavilion's
audience for years, has been re-
placed with a new one which really
works and the stage is neatly ar
ranged. A five reel show was put
on with fine vaudeville attraction,
Hudson & Moran, two lively juve-
niles who sang and danced as if
they liked to. The Highland fling
and Fishers hornpipe done, in High
land costumes, was especially good.
Miss Ethel Kimble presided at the
piano.

Wins BY
SCANDALOUS SCORE
Hammer Three Pasco Pitchers for
Ninth Straight Victory of
Season

kennewick swamped Pasco in
last Sundays game on the local
grounds and in doing SO registered
their ninth straight victory for the
season.
After the fifth inning the game
became pretty much of a farce,
as the score of 2l to 9 indicates.
Pasco used three pitchers in an ef-
fort to stop the local boys batting
spree, but each was used equally
rough. Husky pitched five innings
for Pasco and was hit safely Is
times for the same number of scores.
Dutch" Sieman, who pitched big
league ball in some games last sea-
son, tried it one inning and quit
after being hammered for triple
and three singles. A southpaw
named Crowley then pitched the
last two innings and the locals gath
cred four more runs from him.
In the absence of Larkin, who is
working at Newport, Arnold Bur-
master did the twirling for KenDe-
wick. Burmaster has been pitching
for Richland this season but is now
bookkeeping at the St. Paul yard
here. He pitched a fair game, con-
sidering the support he got, though
Pasco got thirteen safe swats off his
delivery.
Stull made batting record which
probably won't be equaled for some
time. In six times up his batting
average was 1000. He got triple,
three doubles and two singles and
scored five of Kennewick's runs.
The crowd was more than usual
ly slim, due to the fact that the
game had not been advertised.
With the exception of one game,
when the Indians played here, Ken
newick hasn't turned out even fair
baseball crowd this year. Evident
ly the people don't care to see the
home team win.
The score by innings:

,,Ys CREAMERY HAS
w. MADE GREAT GROWTH
Commissioner Lauds kennewick
a,ct-New Refrigerating
s Plant Being Built

THE Columbia ailes oio""01y
,.. made the most wonderful growth
;, snv creamery in the state which
y. come under my notice since my
,0npection with tn e state office
s.,en years ago. Such was the
.neouraging statement made by Dep
uty State Dairy Commissioner, l.. W.
Hanson, when he paid his official
,;s;t to this city last week. He re-
cards the growth of the dairy indus
srv in this valley since the creamery
,eoan operations last fall as phe-
nomenal when compared to the diff
6culties which generally character
;,e the early history of a dairying
community.
Mr.. Hanson spoke in the highest
terms of the products put out by the
local creamery and, after testing
carefully, declared the grade of but
ter to be not excelled in Washing
ton. That such a satisfactory report
can be made indicates that the
farmers have learned how to give
their cream proper care and have
many Of the fine points of dairying
at their command. Painstaking
cleanliness is one of the main essen
) tials and is practised by all cream
contributors. Another thing which
shows their interest in up-to-date,
scientific methods is the fact that
Manager Dean recently received a
cash premium for turning in a large
subscription list to Hoard's Dairy
man.
Mr.. Jenson, who Las charge of
the butter-making at the local
plant, has, according to Commits
sioner Hanson, received more first
premiums for the quality of his pro-
duct than any other butter maker
to come under his observation.
The increasing business makes it
necessary for the building to have
additional space and an addition.

and an ice cream hardening room,
