FARMERS ENDORSE
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
County Farmers Union Convention
Boosts Plan by Resolution--En-
dorso Temple of Agriculture

The farmers of Whitman county
are overwhelmingly in favor of the
formation of league of nations as
a means of promoting international
harmony, if the expression of the
farmers in attendance at the county
convention of the Farmers Union,
HELD here last Friday afternoon, can
be taken as criterion. The following
resolution was adopted by the CON
yention with only one dissenting
vote:
Whereas, The world is just
emerging from a war which was
many times over the most colossal
and destructive of any conflict re-
corded in the annals of time, and
Whereas, 1t appears that this
war was precipitated by the volun-
tary act of one man, and
Whereas, The nations of the
world are now prepared for peace
and seem willing to take steps to-
ward perpetuating the blessings of
peace, therefore be it
Resolved, That we favor the for
nation of league of nations similar
to the league Of states formed by the
United States, with a military force
for police purposes to be contributed
by each nation entering into said
league in proportion to the popula-
ton of said nation.
The county convention gave its
hearty endorsement to the proposed
Temple of Agriculture at Washing
ton, d. C.
State President A. A. Gilmore of
Spokane attended the session and
gave an interesting talk on the work
of the Union, as well as explaining
the plans for the proposed Temple
of Agriculture President Gilmore
left at the close of the session for
California, where he will attend the
state convention of the Farmers
Union, and will return to this state
in time to attend the state conven-
tion to be held in Spokane Deem

BELOVED YOUNG LADY
DIES OF INFLUENZA
Hazel lone Dysart Succumbs to NAL
ady Thursday Morning-FIad
Resided Here Since Early
Childhood

Miss Hazel lone Dysart, aged 2S
years, succumbed to the effects of
Spanish influenza at the home of her
mother. Mrs. Mary Dysart, early
Thursday morning. Miss Dysart was
born in Spokane on August 81,
1890, and came to Pullman with her
parents the year following. She
graduated from the city schools and
later attended the State College. In
1913 she went with her mother to
Spokane to reside, remaining there
two years and then removed to
Helena, Mont, in 1915. In the fall
of the latter year the mother and
daughter returned to Pullman to
make their home
Miss Dysart was employed in the
dctaphone office of the State Col
lege. Eleven years ago an attack of
catarrh affected her vocal chords and
ears, greatly impairing her speech
and hearing, but she made the best
of her misfortune and lived a happy
and contented life, with local friends
numbered by the hundreds. She was
a devout Christian Scientist and Sc
cured much assistance and comfort
from the teachings of that society.
The young lady was beloved by all
who knew her and her untimely
death is a pronounced shock to the
entire community She was a girl
of exceptional characteristics and
high ideals, an eXemplar always of
the right and ever mindful of the
interests and welfare of her friends
and loved ones. OF a sweet disposi-
ton and a stranger to selfish mo-
tives, she endeared herself to the en-
tire community, and even during the
later years of her life, when bur
dened with an affliction which might
have caused an ordinary mortal to
lose faith, she held stoically to the
belief that all is for the best and
went to her just reward ''untar-
nished by single stain" or by any
but pure and generous thoughts and
deeds Hazel Dysart was one of the
best examples of Gods glorious
handiwork. and the world is better
off for the life she lived.
She is survived by her father and
one brother, Kirk, salesman for the
International Harvester company,
with headquarters at Missoula, both
of whom were with her during her
last living hours. Mrs. Dysart her
self is i'll, but her condition Is not
considered critical.

CITY WILL OBJECT
TO NEW POWER RATES
win Protest Proposed Increase by
Washington Water Power Co.
Before Public Service Com
mission Saturday

a vigorous protest against the pro-
posed increase of nearly 400 per cent
in the municipal power rates of the
Washington Water Power Co. will
be registered with the state public
service commission by the city OF
Pullman at the hearing to be held by
the commission in the chamber OF
commerce rooms tomorrow. The
meeting will be open to the general
public. but the exact hour has not yet
been established Upon the request
of Mayor Swain the chamber of com
merce appointed committee includ-
ing d. F. Staley, George II. Watt and
Il. w. Thorpe to work in conjunction
with the council in presenting the
matter before the commission. Dean
II. V. Carpenter of the college of me-
chanic arts and engineering has been
asked by the council to attend the
session in the capacity of advisor on
power rates and technical interpret
er.
The objections to the proposed in
creased tariff, which the company
would make effective December 8,
will be based on the argument that
the franchise granted by the city sew
eral years ago is still in full force
and effect, due to the fact that it
antedates the law creating the state
public service commission, hence can
not be changed during its life with
out the consent of both parties, and
that the proposed rates are exorbi-
tant and unreasonable.
Should the public service commits
sion fail to take cognizance of the OBJ
jections raised, it is highly probable
that some other means of securing
power will be devised by the council.
Every citizen of Pullman should
be vitality interested in the hearing
and should make an effort TO attend
the meeting,

Deputy Collector S. E. Ratliff, of
the U. S. Department of Internal
Revenue, arrived In Pullman yester-
day to remain until this friday
evening. He will return to Pullman
rext Monday and will be here for a
week for the purpose of checking up

ity of Pullman, including the towns

Der of delinquents in the eastern por-
ton of Whitman county" said Mr..
Ratiff to The Herald reporter. Con-
tnuing. he said: There are a large
number of citizens, particularly
farmers, who either are not convers-
ant with or have been improperly
advised concerning the income tax
law. Many of them are of the opin-
ion that the law did not apply until
1917, whereas it has been in effect
since 1913. 1t is the purpose of the
department to check up and demand
returns from all delinquents, regard
less of whether or not their failure
to file was due to ignorance of the
law or to intent to defraud. There
are severe penalties imposed upon
those who neglected through ignor-
ance to file their returns when due,
but much more severe are those i'm
posed upon cny who Intentionally
sought to evade the tax.
But the department is especially
anxious to bring to account those
who have made improper or fraudu-
lent returns, wherein they swore to
an amount of income less than that
actually received. For this offense
there is prescribed not only extreme
ly heavy fines, but Imprisonment as

uation which made it impossible to
fill the vacant deanship of agricul-
ture at the State College before the
war was over.

ture here, which includes director
ship of the Washington Experiment
Station. is the first of several steps
now planned to broaden and intensi-
fly the work of the State College in
several lines, among which are vari-
GUS phases of engineering, science,
home economies, extension, and in
other fields likewise given impetus
by the needs of the reconstruction
period following the world war.
