GET 1T COMING
OR GOING"

The Virginian-Pilot Of Norfolk il
it's last Sundays issue says:
"Analyzing section by section at
the request of State Senator John
A. Lesner, the two tax plans to be
submitted to the approaching spe-
cial session of the Legislature by the
special tax committee, Hilton, Raw
lings & Co., certified public &C
countants, show serious loss IN re-
venue to the city under either Plan
in their report completed Saturday
and to be considered at meeting OF
the tax committee of the Chamber OF
Commerce. From the Investigations
made by Hilton, Rawlings & Co., IN
which the plans proposed by the
State tax committee have been ana
lvzed, it develops that under the
general or majority plan the city OF
Norfolk would lose in revenue, the
sum of s176 900 annually, while ul1-
der the partial segregation or MN
ority plan the city's losses would be
$4,000"
The above carries out the conten-
tion that, no matter what laws are
enacted, the cities of the common
wealth almost invariably come out at
the little end of the horn. 1t was so
from the beginning and will ever be-
There is no need of thresn'fg
over the statements recently maze
;by which it has been shown that GER
tain sections Of Virginia are forced
to pay the bulk of the state taxes.
But something should be done, and
that Immediately. to cQualize taxa
ton in the commonwealth. The ru-
raj communities should be allowed
all coming to them in equity. but the
cities should not be saddled with re-
sponsbiities which should be borne
by all alike.
At the meeting of the Alexandria
School Board last night it was shown
by the State Auditors report that
Fairfax county, adjoining this "'y.
obtained almost twice as much
money for the support of the pubic
schools as does Alexandria city, and
that while this city is compelled I"
pay $4,000 into the state treasury
annually, receiving but about one
third back. Fairfax county. has re-
turned to her all save about $1,000
Alexandria city will not receive It's
usual Quota from the state tor edu-
cational purposes this year by se'c
raj hundred dollars Notwithstanding
the city's school expenses are lnr:eas-
ing all the time.
A committee was appointed for the
purpose of looking after the interest
of Alexandria in this matter. Inns
was proper. but it seems that Sen
ators and Delegates representing inc
cities should make more determined
efforts on behalf OF the communities
ihey are elected TO represent. but
little attention is generally PAID az
the State Capitol to unofficial dele
cations from trade boards or otheT
organizations
In recent years acts prejudicial /"
cities especially Alexandria nave
been allowed to slip through the
Legislature and on several occasions
which could be mentionedD people
Of this city have been subject to rude
swakenings when Informed that
,.ws entailinc additional OUTLAWS hac
been passed at the last session" u >''

A QUIET FOURTH

Kennewick's celebration Of the
Fourth Fifth was a thoroughly safe
and sane one, waving dustrags in
most instances taking the place of
waving flags, as wrathy housewives
and storekeepers went about cleaning
up the evidences of Saturday nights
dust-storm. Several outing parties
took advantage of the double holiday
to get out and become sunburned and
mosquito-bitten, the groves near the
mouth of the Yakima being the favor
ed camping places. On Monday the
band, the ball team and most of the
young people went to Pasco. The
Kennewick-Pasco ball game broke up
in row in the fourth inning with
the score 81 in Kennewick's favor.
The teams were playing for 60-40 of
the gate and it seems that rather than
lose a few dollars in sportsmanlike
way the Pascoites broke up the game
by putting Frank Morain off the field
on some pretext, along with "Spike"
Ferrell who was acting as chief coach.

KENNEN1CK WASHINGTON, THURSDAY s,

break us. Carrying our plan through
means, I believe, 5 and probably 10
cents more box for peaches this
year. If the growers are satisfied with
20 cents when they might have 80, let's
let 'em alone / don't believe in coerc-
ing anybody into joining this move
ment. I have got enough to look after
at Puyallup. i ought to be there now.
"Let's get the peach growers of the
Yakima valley together in half a doz-
en- meetings and find out what they're
going to do and find out quick. I'm
ready, men. When and where shall
we have 'em?"
Growers who have encountered
Paulhamus know that he means just
what he says and July 10 may be ac-
cepted as the final date for decision.
II the growers-90 per cent of the
tonnage-are going to back him up,
he, with the assured support of the
great majority of the shippers, and
the great aid of Mr.. Davidson, is 60
ing to fight the battle for stability in
the peach market and a profitable
price for the grower. If they are not,
the whole movement on July IL will
be dead one.

GARDEN TRACTS HOME
DESTROYED BY FIRE
One of Tompkins Houses Goes
Up in Smoke - None of
Contents Saved

The residence owned by Mrs. A. w.
Tompkins and situated on the lot next
north of her home in the Garden
Tracts was completely destroyed by
fire which broke out shortly after
seven o'clock last Sunday evening.
The house was occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. R. r. Morrison, and so rapid
was the work Of the flames that the
tenants lost every article they pos
sessed, with the exception of the
clothing they wore.
How the fire started is not known.
Mr.. Morrison stated that there had
been fire in the kitchen range ear
lier in the evening, but that it had
been allowed to die out an hour be-
fore. He had been through the house
but a few minutes before the fire was
discovered and had seen nothing
wrong. A brisk wind was blowing
and by the time the fire department
got line of hose connected, all that
could be done was to save the adjoin-
ing residences which were seriously

Highway APPROVED
BY COMMISSIONER
r.,uewick-Finley Road will be
Accepted by State and County
More Oil Next Month

The seven-mile stretch OF new state
,;.hvay between Kennewick and
rs,,.v recently completed by Contrac-
~ Morain. was Inspected last Friday
!, State Highway Commissioner Roy
"a state Engineer Eye, and its finai
...p4.nce is now but q matter OF
formality.
The state officials were accompan-
id by the county commissioners and
road supervisors, Representative 6.
Stewart. one of the Franklin coun-
=, commissioners and Engineer Ham,
;,.on Of that county, and E. M. Sly
~ 7. E. Johnson, representing the
Commercial club.
Though the highway was found to
he finished according to the specifica-
t;ons Commissioner Roy recommend
cd that it be dragged occasionally un-
I'll thoroughly settled and that more
Al he applied next month. This work
v;ll be let in the form of a supple
mantary contract, through the state
of,ce, without the necessity OF calling
~, additional bids. wi4
Il was found that the river gravel,
used east from the S., P. & S., made
/. much better road than the pit
gravel on the stretch this side of the
depot Though ruts have already been
formed in places, the use of the drag
will probably eliminate these, partic-
ularly If those using the road will
take a little more care not to drive
in the same track all the time, until
the surface has had time to settle.
Commissioner Roy also went over
the survey Of the proposed Richland-
Kiona road. Representative Stewart
reminded Mr.. Roy that under the
wording Of the $S5, 900 appropriation
for highway work in this county, made
by the last legislature, the money is
to be expended "west from Kenne-
wick" He accordingly asked that, if
any Of the appropriation remains af-
ter the Richland.Kiona road is finish
ed, the balance be used in improving
the Kennewick-Richland road. This
it is understood, was agreed to by
the commissioner.
