legislature this week the first budget
of the state, covering appropriations
requested from the legislature for all
departments and institutions under
his control. Excluding the $4,000
600 item for the accident fund, which
is merely to make available the con-
tributions of employers for the ben
eft of injured workmen, the Governor
requests appropriations totalling $5,-
781, ,O09, approximately $250,OOO less
than the appropriations made for the
same departments by the last leg
islature.
That it is real budget, and not
merely assorted estimates submitted
by the various departments, is indi-
Gated by the fact that more than half
of the department estimates were al
tered under the Governors blue PEN
Gil, items totalling $4,000 being
eliminated.

Banker and Railroad Man Believe
Era of Better Times is at Hand

o. A. Fechter, of North Yakima,
president of the Yakima Valley Bank
and the Northern Pacific Irrigation
company, and j. E. Plummer, of Ia
coma, western land agent for the
Northern Pacific Railroad company,
are looking after business affairs in

Both men are very optimistic as to
the future business outlook. Mr..
Fechter is of the opinion that we have
weathered the worst and when things
do begin to pick up they will come
with a rush. Mr.. Plummer believes
that the public is in less antagonistic
frame Of mind toward the railroads, a
condition which will give the COM
panies courage to go ahead with pro-

NO BRIDGE BILLS
AT THIS SESSION
Stewart Nor Long Will Not At.
tempt to Get Structure
Across Columbia
Especial Correspondence

Olympia, Jan. 20-No effort will be
made by Benton and Franklin coun-
ty representatives to secure an ap-
preparation for a bridge across the
Columbia river, between Kennewick
and Pasco, at this session of the legis-
lature, and it is improbable that the
bill introduced at the last two ses-
sions will be even introduced at this
session. Both Representatives Stew
art of Benton and Long, of Franklin,
are convinced that few measures other
than committee bills will be enacted
at this session, and practically no
measures Of any kind carrying extra
ordinary appropriations.
The number of bills introduced in
the house has been kept to the mini
mum. Neither Stewart nor Long
have yet put in measure. In the
senate, however, the supply. of bills
seems unlimited. How many of them
will be passed is problematical.

There has been another example of
petty thievery recently which should
serve to make people more cautious.
While Mrs. w. T. Mann was in the
N. P. depot Saturday she Jaid down
her new handbag, containing her
purse with $2.75 in it, beside her
wraps on the seat. The bag was out
of her sight only a moment, but the
moment, however, was sufficient for
some "bo" to appropriate it and make
his getaway.

Stewart Has Secured Support Of WAL

Share of Road Money
(By Special Correspondence

Olympia, Jan. 20-That Benton
county is entitled to some road ap-
preparations from the present legis-
lature is shown strikingly by statis-
tics prepared by Highway Commits
sioner William R. Roy, dealing with
the amount of road money contributed
by each county to the state, since the
creation of the state highway depart
ment, and the amount Of state money
expended in each county. Benton
county has contributed $56,382 to the
state while only $4,936 state money
has been expended in the county.
These figures are for taxes levied and
money expended under the state aid
road system and under the public
highway levy. They do not include
the permanent highway levies, all Of
the money gained under these levies
going back to the counties.
Franklin county has paid $42, ,401 in
state aid and public highway taxes
and has not received any state road
expenditures yet.
The legislative committees on roads
and bridges requested these statistics
from Highway Commissioners Roy, in
dicating a desire on the part Of the
legislature to equalize matters, if pos
sible, and give those counties which
have not yet had any state road mon
