r. f. D. STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED

: greatly widen and still further i'm
| prove this public benefit and ad
vantage until all sections and al
localities where rural service car
) be made operative shall have these
conveniences afforded them and
havethem generously maintained
Petitions for service are no longer
necessary. The recommendation OF
the postmaster brings an inspector
who goes over the ground, and if
service can be made at all effective
it will at once be given. No con.
siderations of administrative econ
omy, no mere saving OF money by
miserly methods or parsimonious
process, is to stand in the way of
any benefit which the rural deliv-
cry can give or wise public policy
can sanction. The common people,
upon whom the burdens rest and
upon whose toll the nations pros
perity is built, are to have their
share of Government favor in full
measure returned to them and ev-
cry aid to the furtherance of legit
innate enterprise and effort secured
to them by performance and by
practice.
The rural delivery is indeed
boon to, the country. Its measure
less advantages can not be estimat-
ed, nor need the cost of mainte-
nance be considered, for it has
broadened the field of industrial
opportunity, touched as if with
magic power the possibilities of
human endeavor, and transformed
conditions to a degree almost mar
velous. 1t has brought the printed
page. the great educator of civil
ization, daily to the home; has
brought special delivery almost to
the door; has secured good roads
and maintains them by official in
terest and concern; it has attract
ed the attention of the various
States to this question and OBJ
tanned results; it has made farm
lands more valuable and contribut-
ed to increased production; it has
abridged time by rapid communi-
cation; frightened all environ
ment, and made ordinary dull rou-
tine interesting and attractive; it
has lessened toll by the instructive
suggestions which Government ex-
pertinent and inquiry affords, and
has made the home center of in
fuence and crowns domestic life
with all that makes for peace and
contentment.
County Auditor Syfford, Assessor
Wheaton, Sheriff Duffy, and State
Land Commissioner Clark Savidge
were in town few minutes We'd
nesday. They were styled "the
unopposed brigade" as none of
them are contested on either re-
publican or democratic tickets at
either the primary or general cleo
tion in November. Land Commits
sioner Savidge is also secretary of
the state board Of equalization
which meets next week, in Olympia
and while here was a guest of AS
SCISSOR A. H. Wheaton, who wanted
the state board to have some first
hand information as to conditions
in Benton county, in justification of
Mr.. Wheaton's attempt to adjust
land values for taxation purposes
to somewhere in the neighborhood
Of the real value of the land, based
on the income received from the
crops.

In order that the people in White
Bluffs may have little closer look
at some of the candidates and, per.
haps, hear them say few words, it
has been suggested that an ice
cream social be given on the school
house lawn, or like place, some
time next week, to which all the
county candidates would be invited.
Other places, like Finley, have been
doing this and the meetings are
pronounced decided success, both
from a social and political stand
point. Richland will have such an
affair next Saturday night and it
has been suggested that the social
here be given Friday night. If
some of the good ladies in the COM
munity will take the responsibility
of such an affair on their shoulders
there is no reason on earth why
they shouldn't make just as big a
success of it as other places.

ROAD TO RICHLAND
WILL BE IMPROVED

j. B. Clements of Richland, dem.
ocratis candidate for state repre-.
sentative, and at present chairman
of the board of county commission
ers, accompanied by County Com.
missioner Bash, was in White Bluffs
a short time Thursday. These gen.
tlemen were fresh from nearly an
all-night session at sHanford with
State Highway Commissioner Allen,
who was attempting to persuade
them to allow the $4,000 that the
county commissioners had gappro-
priated out of the permanent high
way fund for the Hdnford- -Richland
road to be spent for surfaclng the
state highway between. Richland
and Kiona. Bash and Clements
were not to be persuaded, however,
and as a result of the conference
the money will be spent, as far as
it will go, in making a permanent
road between Hanford and Rich
land.
1t is true that the new state
highway between Richland and XII
ona is almost impossible now, and
it is also true that the road be-
tween Hanford and Richland, due
in a large measure to the expendi-
ture on it of some 5000 this sum-
mer, is in fairly good condition.
But it would be manifestly unfair
to use funds raised by taxes in this
county on roads that are built by
state appropriation, even though
that road happened to be within
the boundaries of the county, and
Bash and Clements are to be con-
graduated by the people in this
end of the county for taking the
stand they did.
The new road will start at Han
ford and will be built in a perma-
nent manner as far as the money
will carry it. Work will begin on
it as soon as weather conditions
will permit.
