INDIAN SCHOOL II CLOSE NEXT WEEK .F0R TIE SUMMER
Examinations Are to Close
 Friday Afternoon and
 Commencement Exercises ] Will Be Friday, June II

Flnal examinations at the Phoenix Analan school will close tomorrow after noon, and then, following a busy com lnencement week, the students will re- turn to the open spaces of their native reservations, where a pinto pony and brush Wigwam signify modern con senlences' and the three R's designate ia iattlesnakes, rivers and rawhide.
 Of chief interest in the program for examination week is the conversational t-nglish test, which all the pupils are required to go through. In this test me ability of the pupils to converse m the language of the paleface is thoroughly p1umbed. This causes a greas Heal of trouble to the instructors, who must use great diplomacy in their work, as the Indian is very sensitive 70 rfdfcule, and, fearing that his efforts m speaking the new language will call forth laughter, he often refuses to speak it.
 The Indian school authorities, in teaching the English language to the untutored Indians who arrive from the Reservations, deal with a firm hand. The classes are conducted entirely in English. and any promiscuous usage or the tribal tongues @y the students ls curbed as far as is possible In the shops and vocational classes the differ ent tribes are mixed in such a way as to make it necessary for the stu dents to meet on tho common ground ot the English language in their con- versations
 Attendance Is 730
 II is also the purpose of the school to tear down tribal barriers and class consciousness. This is done bp pro hihiting any athletic or other organiza- tions of single tribes. Tn all school activities the various tribes are inter mixed
 The average attendance at the Phoe- nix Indian school the past year was 130. which is a larger number than ever before has been enrolled. There were 30 different tribes represented, of which the Pimas were in the ma jority. The following list shows how the tribes

body knows it any better than
the publishers of the Post. II
costs the Post not one penny
more to deliver the ..sreading mat
ter" of an issue to a subscriber
| in Kennewick than to a subscrib-
er in New York city. The second
class rate on reading matter is
liz cents a pound, regardless of
the zone in which the subscriber
lives. Zone rates in no way APP
ply to reading matter, but apply
only to the advertising the Post
carries, and the more advertis-
ing the higher the rate.
The issue of the Post of Feb
ruary IA contains 1876 pages, in
Guiding the cover. Of these 1876
pages, 118 or 60 per cent of the
total are advertising. The post
age charge on the 78 pages of
reading matter is the same on
every copy Of the Post mailed
to any point in the United States.
If the subscribers want the
Post for the advertising it con-
tains, the additional charge for
the western subscriptions is JUS
titled, but if the subscriber pays
his money for the reading mat
ter, there is no reason why a
Kennewick reader should pay one
penny more than a New Yorker.
If anyone aside from the pub
fishers of the periodical is to pay
the extra postage which is re-
quired to carry the additional
advertising thru the MALL it
should be the advertisers who
! are the ones benefited and not
the subscribers.
Probably the Posts new sub
scription rate is not so much for
the purpose of raising additional
revenues as it is deliberate at
tempt to discredit the zone post
age law in the eyes Of the sub
scribers and create a public SEN
timent in favor of it's repeal.
The zone postage law in no
way taxes or otherwise hampers
the dissemination of news or
knowledge thru the mails. Tt is
a just and legitimate tax upon
the dissemination of advertising
thru the mails and should be kept
on the statute books of the ma
ton.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1920-02-26
Penalizing the Subscriber

~ THE COST of producing
a publication is increased
because of an increased volume
of advertising, who should foot
the bill, the advertiser or the
subscriber? We think the adj
vertiser. Evidently the Satur-
day Evening Post believes. the
subscriber should be the goat.
In it's issue of February Ia,
the Post announces an increase
in subscription rates "to sub
scribers west of the Mississippi
river to $3.50 a year, while east
of the Mississippi the price is to
remain at So a year.
This increase is based on the
increased postage cost under the
zone system-and provides that
the subscriber living west of the
Mississippi must pay for the
longer haul on his reading mat
ter"
The publishers Of the Post ex-
press regret that they are COM
PEELED to make higher rate to
one class of subscribers than to
another class simply because
they live in different parts of the
country, but say they have no al
tentative so long as the postal
laws impose zone rates on second
class matter.
This is absolute bunk and no

ume of propaganda stuff which
cutters the mails of every pub
Usher in the country. The office
wastepaper basket was given a
one-day holiday and the front
window was used as a dumping
place for a days quota of pro-
paganda.
Editor Dan Cloud of the Mon
tesano Vidette had the same
bunch, but instead of a window
display he gave his, readers a
vivid word picture of the inside
of the Vidette's mail bag. In his
editorial we read:
The Vidette is common coun-
try paper, just a weekly, but we
dare say we get a full regular
feed of all the propaganda that
is being issued. Every mail is
glutted with propaganda. Ev-
cry train brings us from two or
three to a dozen letters of pro-
paganda. Propaganda on every
subject from 'acorns for pig
feed" to building highways to
Mars" There is propaganda for
freeing the Philippines, for con-
solidation of church sects, for
increasing agricultural produc-
ton, for building a system of in
land canals for irrigating dry
sections, for increasing and de-
creasing government control of
public utilities, for socialism, for
non-partisan leagues, for the l.
w. w. and against them, for the
foreign element and against it.
And then, in addition, there is

propaganda from democratic
headquarters, from the Pershing
committee. from the Wood COM
mittee, from the Poindexter COM
mittee, from the Bryanites and
the Wilsonites and the McAdoo-
ties and the Bakeries.
We don't pretend to read all
the propaganda that reaches us.
We. frequently do look into all
the envelopes and see who it is or
what it is for.

INOVERNOR DAVIS of Ida
~ no, president Of the West
ern States Reclamation associa-
ton says: "Our demands for fl
nancial assistance staggered the
leaders in congress, but our eco
lnomical arguments made a deep
impression and l can state with
absolute sincerity that if we do
not get the things we are asking
now, within another year or two
they are certain to come"
Evidently the arguments of
the association have made a
deeper impression on congress
than have the arguments of the
local committee on the people of
this community and land owners
in the Kennewick Irrigation dis
trict. Kennewick was asked to
contribute $500 to the campaign
fund of the Western States Re-
clamation association. Letters
of solicitation were sent out sew
eral weeks ago, but to date the
response has been anything but
encouraging.
AS the matter now stands the
association is going about it's
work enthusiastically and with
good promises of success, while
Kennewick is laying down on the
job.
"Our fight will come from the
Middle Western states,s contin-
ues Gov. Davis. If every recla-
nation community in the West
is as apathetic and as slow to get,
on the job with their dollars as
this community the fight will be
lost before it is hardly begun.
The committee is sending out
a second appeal to those who
should be vitality interested in
the success of the proposed re-
clamation program and it is to be
hoped that appeal will meet with
a ready response.
