Hopeless Remedies

Hopeless Remedies
j. =. Morgan said at a dinner in
New York:
"The German financial position is
desperate. The remedies proposed for
it reminds me of the horse-thief.
1.-TWO men were sentenced by Wig
lance committee to be hanged for
horse stealing, and the rope was
swung from a bridge over a river.
"But the first horse-thief got off.
The moose slipped, he fell into the wa
ter and swan down stream to safety.
when they came to deal with the
second horse-thief, he said anxiously,
as they tied the rope round his neck:
Make sure o. that moose this time,
won't you gents? I can't SWIM"

dollars Of the taxpayers money in
building an approach for the benefit
Of this private enterprise. We don't
know just what the cost was, but we
have been informed it was considerab-
ly in excess of 100000. After oper-
ating few days the project was aban-
doned, and the ferry returned to Wal
lula. But what of the road to Hover?
What has the Commercial club done
to secure this road? What are they
doing now?
In the meantime the people of Ho-
yer interested a ferryman in the pro-
ject Of putting in ferry at Hover.
Now the plan Of the Commercial club
is to have this ferryman abandon the
Hover end and establish his ferry a
little ways below the 0-W. bridge.
The residents of the lower valley, par
ticularly the people of Hover, have a
kick coming-a big, strong, healthy
kick-and unless it is the purpose Of
the Commercial club to antagonize
the people of the lower valley still
further, the wisest thing they could
do would be to drop the ferry question
until they make good on their appar-
emily forgotten pledge to see that a
good road to Hover is built. Not until
this is done will the people of Hover
feel that the pledge of the Commercial
club had any meaning behind it. Un-
til the pledge of the Commercial club
is made good the impression in the
lower valley will continue to prevail
will prevail stronger than ever, that
the policy of the Commercial club is
Kennewick, first and always, let the
country look after itself.
1t is too bad that the people of the
lower valley hold this opinion of the
Kennewick Commercial club and it is
the aim of this column to help over
come this prejudice, so that the in
terests of the country and the inter-
ests of the city may be co-ordinated
and oranges, farmers unions and
commercial clubs may work in per-
feet harmony for the upbuilding Of
the community. Above all things we
aim to speak the truth frankly and
freely as we see it, and we will say
frankly that we feel that the people
of the lower valley have considerable
justification for their feeling that the
Commercial club has gone ahead with
their plans with no consideration for
the lower valley whatever. We be-
lieve it would be the wisest move pos
sible if the members of the CONNER
cial club and the farmers would get
together and work together to over
come this we'll defined feeling of dis
trust. Unquestionably everyone would
learn something to his advantage and
the interest of this part Of the county
would be greatly furthered.
If the person who questioned our
veracity about Harry the Hair-raiser's
speedometer being put on backward
will examine Harry's machine he will
observe that the speedometer drive
gear has been changed from the right
wheel to the left wheel and that the
effect is to reverse the direction of the
drive. George Schnell was heard to
remark that he was sorry he didn't
get in on one of those hair-raisers
before the change was made.
Cliff Rounds, the eminent horse
specialist got off wrong the other day.
Frank Lyons bought pony for his
herder to ride and Cliff came over to
size him up. "He's bad one," said
he. "He'n throw a man faster than he

can climb onto him." To avoid trouble
a local buckaroo was hunted up and
after careful preparation he swung
into the saddle and discovered that he
could ride him with a bride or with
a halter, with saddle or bareback
with spurs or without. II was all the
same to old Dobbin.

LIVE WIRE SPARKS

L
Experience has shown
that upon the completion Of a piece of
road it is necessary to Immediately
begin its care and maintenance. Many
highways have been ruined by not
having maintenance work done upon
them at the right time" The above
is taken from Governor Listers pro-
clamation naming May 16 as good
roads day, and calls attention again to
the short-sighted policy of the county
officials who repaired the oiled road
between Kennewick and Finley but
stopped before they oiled the repaired
places.
Speaking of good roads day, we won-
der how many individuals will actual
ly get out and work the roads on that
day. Unless some concerted effort is
made to get people out we venture
that not half dozen men in the coun-
ty will get out and work. However,
if the oranges of the county, the COM
mercial clubs, and the various social
and business organizations would
pledge their members to meet at a
certain time on May 16 and work on
certain stretch of road, and if the
ladies would join in and furnish din
ner, not only would lot of good be
accomplished without adding a notch
to the already top heavy taxes, but
those who "played the game" could
and would make a regular picnic out
of the occasion. Of course there will
be lot of sore heads endeavoring to
hide their laziness and their grouches
behind the argument that they won't
work unless everyone works - that
they pay taxes, so let the county do
the work. It is the man who is will
ing to do little more than his share
who makes the good citizen and this
is the class of men who would turn
out. Because the poor citizens will
hang back is no reason why the diff
ferent organizations Of the county
should not make an effort to make the
good roads day something more than
day when we stand around and tell
each other what benefit good roads
are.
While we are discussing roads we
want to say word about the road to
Hover. Last fall when the Kennewick
Commercial club worked so hard to
have the Wallula ferry moved to the
O-W. bridge, the residents Of the low
er valley those most interested in the
proposed change, registered kick;
first because they felt that Hover was
the logical place for the ferry and
second, because they knew that if the
ferry were ever taken away from Ho-
yer, the chances of getting good road
between Finley and Hover would be
very slim indeed. Representatives of
the Live Wires and the Grange called
on members of the road committee of
the Kennewick Commercial club and
stated the objections of the residents
of the lower valley to the proposed
change. They were assured that before
any plan for such a change was APP
proved, the Commercial club would
see that good road to Hover was pro-
vided for, and their attention was
called to the fact that in the publish
ed proposals for the change, empha-
sis was laid on the point that Hover
must have a good road first.
What did happen?
Last December, thru the efforts of
the Commercial club the Wallula ferry
was moved to the O-W. bridge and
the county spent many hundreds of
