The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1922-10-26

For some time citizens Of Pros
ser have been loud in their protest
ations Of friendship for Kenne
wick. They have gone over The
county pleading for a better un-
derstanding, for closer relations,
and real cooperation between com.
munities. The Courier Reporter is
disposed to accept these protesta-
tions at their full face value. But
why the plea? Why the lack OF
cooperation? The answer is the
county seat question. It is the
thing that stands in the way of
cooperation-the thing that has
made the county sick. And it's ill
ness has long since reached the
chronic stage nor can it ever be
cured by treating symptoms and
ignoring causes. The county can
never be cured Of what ais it by
soothing salve to a symp-
tomato eruptions or a smothering
pack to shooting pains.
There is no, use to waste words,
and time, and energy in preaching
The gospel Of cooperation until we
are ready to stand square-footed
upon the only foundation upon
which a spirit Of countrywide CO.
operation can be built-a compro-
mise settlement of the county seat
question and the only possible COM
promise is to move it to Benton
City. The Courier-Reporter
stands upon that foundation.

THREE GOOD MEN

IN THE OPINION of the Court.
ier-Reporter few more capable
men have ever offered themselves
for public office in this county
than r. H. Briggs, republican can
didate for county commissioner in
this district. He is one of the
county's most substantial citizens
and the success he has achieved
with his own personal affairs is
a testimonial to his ability, his In
tegrity and his enterprise. Ger
tainly there is no valid reason why
Mr.. Briggs should not have the
unanimous support Of every voter
in the Kennewick precincts and Of
his party throughout the county.
What is true of Mr.. Briggs is
likewise true of Sam Allard, of
the first, and C. E. DeBow Of the
second district. Both are level
headed successful men who will
not be mislead into paths of politi-
cal trickery and in whose hands
the business Of the county will be !
safe.

rank with Prosser and the figh
began. From that day until thi
it has continued. The result ha
been a deadlock. Kennewick ha
always been strong enough to pre-
vent the building of court hous
in Prosser. And Prosser has beer
strong enough to prevent the NOV
ing of the county seat. Ten year,
ago majority Of the voters went
on record in favor of moving but
there was not the required sixty
/ per cent. A canvass of the vote
from that election until the last
reveals little or no change in the
comparative strength of the two
communities. The only change Of
any consequence is the growth Of
Benton City.
What's the answer? When two
opposing factions, no matter what
the issue, become and continue
deadlocked there is but one reason
able and logical answer, compro-
mise. The only possible compro-
mise in this instance is to locate
the county seat in Benton City.
The Courier-Reporter realizes
that to do so means the defeat Of
Kennewick's aspirations to move
the county seat here, and no one
has aspired more ardently in this
regard than has the editor Of this
paper.
The people Of Prosser have sue
ceeded in pledging the commission
ers not to build court house in
Prosser during their terms Of Of
flee. This means that the county
seat issue will continue to be the
same prickly thorn it ever has
been; it means that embers of in
tercommunity 1nistrust, strife and
discord will continue to shoulder
only to burst again into flame four
years hence; it means that Prosser
will doubtless again come forward
with frank admissions of failure
to support meritorious enterprises
and Kennewick will be guilty of
The same offenses; it means that
candidates for public office will
be fit material for political barter
and trade, just as candidates to-
lay are being traded and bartered
FOR county seat votes.

town had made a grave mistak,
IN failing to support the campaign
Tor financing the Benton Franklin
lntercounty Bridge, he unconsci
ously barred the very heart Of The
county seat issue as it exists in
this county today and has existed
since the county was created.
Mr.. Fry very candidly admit
ted that the new bridge is q valu-
able asset to the county and to
the state. He might have told
his hearers, for it is the truth,
that the thing which prevented
Prosser's cooperation was the
county seat issue. Fortunately
Prosser's attitude did not defeat
the bridge undertaking but a
heavier burden than necessary was
shouldered upon the Kennewick
citizens. BY the same token the
Prosser citizens have been forced
TO go it alone in fostering public
enterprises the burden Of which
should have been distributed coun-
tywide.
The bridge is only one example
81 which there are many. The
same spirit has prevailed in re-
gard to the Kennewick High Line
Irrigation project, the Horse Heav-
en- Irrigation project, the Prosser
experiment station and others.
In short the county seat issue
has been and is today stumbling
block in the path of progress. It'll
has made countrywide cooperation
impossible, it has defeated good
and worthy men and put incom-
petents in office, and because of it
no county question, whether of |
men or measures, has ever gone
to the people squarly upon its mer-
its. It has been the ever-present
thorn in the county's flesh, politi-
cally, commercially and neighborly.
1t is an easy matter to sit down.
and figure in terms Of taxation
what it will cost to move the
county seat or to build a court
house here or build it there. But
the cost of moving and building is
by no means comparable to what
It has already cost the people Of
the county-in the thousands Of
dollars spent by the citi-
tens Of Prosser and Kennewick, inI
the losses sustained through lack
Of cooperation, and the even great
Or losses in the sacrificing Of good
business and sound Judgment for

FRENCH MAY TAKE
GERMAN FORESTS

Paris, Dec. 27 (By the Associated
Press).-Premier Poincare plans tc
follow up the reparations commits.
sion's decision declaring Germany in
default Of her wood deliveries by pre-
senting 70 the allied premiers' meet
ing next week scheme Of taking over
the German state forests as a xuaran-
tee. II the other premiers will not
agree to this step It is understood
France is prepared to act alone.
1t now Is feared that the British
and French attitudes will be as far
apart when the premiers reconvene a
they were when the recent London
conference adjourned and the latest
reparations development is taken to
support this view. Sir John Bradbury
went to London today to confer with
Prime Minister Bonar Law and other
members Of the government on the eff.
feet Of the reparations commissions
action and on the question Of the gen
eral British policy toward the pre-
miers' meeting.
Sir johns reasons for refusing to
suppot the default vote which rea-
sons, it is thought, may be taken as
a reflection Of the position of Bonar
Law, were that certain extenuatins
circumstances entitled Germany to
more lenient consideration and that
furthermore the allies had previously
agreed on course less radical in the
event Of Germany's failure to make
the deliveries.
Frances victory in the reparations
commission vote is ascribed to the
personal efforts Of Premier Poincare
who is said to have carefully planned
the coup. The action was so quietly
and swiftly executed that none Of the
American unofficial observers had the
opportunity of being present.
Although the United States has no
vote in the commission the views of
its observers have always had much
weight, especially when vital issue
was before the commission, as was the
case yesterday. 1t is declared in rep
arations circles that the position of
the American obervers has approxi-
mated that Of the British.
