UNITY NEEDED

UNITY in the west on irrigation
- has become increasingly import
ant in view of the favorable report on
the Smith-McNary bill, made today
by the Senate irrigation committee.
This is the act, carrying an appro-
priation of $3.50 ,0OO, 900, upon the sue
cess of which the future of irrigation
in the United States depends. Its
passage by Congress will speed work
on projects that will add mighty do
main to the original acreage of the
nation.
In the present state of federal fin
ances and the present temper of many
who have been subjected to heavy
taxation to meet leftover wartime
obligations, division in the West in
evitably would result in the defeat of
this measure. On the other hand, it
is probable united effort on the part
of delegations from western states
will commit Congress to a policy of

development that will assure passage
of the measure.
The various irrigation undertakings
of the past have established the fact
that watering the arid lands of the
country is practical and profitable.
There still remains, Of course, the very
important consideration of cost. Fed
eral experts have worked out data
indicating how and where certain pro-
jects would be unsuccessful because
of excessive expenses.
Fortunately for Washington and for
other Pacific Northwest states, how
ever, problems of costs are not acute.
There is water enough available in
this state to care for all the acreage
that is susceptible to irrigation at a
cost that will render cultivation of
the land feasible.
The SmithMcNary bill is practical
step in the direction of retaining
the Vests arid lands. 1t dedicates to
this purpose sum big enough to per-
nit the definite planning Of number
of projects and their simultaneous
development. Its passage at this ses-
sion will assure the launching of i'm
provements that would add enormous
ly to the wealth of the nation.-Seat-

THE LABEL

MOT infrequently the Courier-Re-
~ porter has a misunderstanding
with subscriber as to the exact ex-
piration date of his paper.
These misunderstanding would not
arise if the subscriber will bear in
mind that every subscription to this
paper expires on the first of some
month, and that the numerals on the
address label refer to the year and
not to the days of the month.
For instance, March '22," follow
ing a subscribers name means that
his subscription expires March first,
1922 and not March %, 1922.
The expiration date is abbreviated
on the label for the reason that there
is not sufficient space in one line OF
type for the complete numerals.
Expiration dates are fixed on the
first of the months for the convenience
not alone of this paper but of the
subscriber. 1t saves bookkeeping and
gives the subscriber the benefit OF
from one to four free copies. For
instance the subscription which comes
into this office this week is given a
dating of April 1, but the paper is
started with the current issue and
the subscriber receives the remain
ing March issues without charge.
To the end that further misunder-
standings may not arise The Courier
Reporter requests that subscribers
bear in mind that all subscriptions
expire on the first Of some month.
It isn't much to remember.

GOING BUG HUNTING
Expedition to Bring Ladybird Beetles
from the Blue Mountains


Some time in the near future an
expedition will be made to the Blue
mountains near. Walla Walla for col
lections of Ladybird beetles. The
date of this trip will be published so
everyone wishing to go may do SO.
These beetles are entitled to be in
the front rank of beneficial insects.
The beetles as well as the larvae feed
upon plant lice and altho not overly
abundant they do great deal of
good for the orchardist. The life
cycle of the ladybird beetle is about
10 days so several cycles are COM
pleted during the summer season be-
fore the fall brood enters winter quar-
tiers which is mainly in the foothills.

EVERY LITTLE HELPS

A STATEMENT of taxes due ever
= brings scant satisfaction. But in
the annual tax statements received
last week from the county treasurer's
office there is something to be thank
full for.
They show that start toward low
er taxes has been made in the county
and state The levies are lower than
for 1920. Quite true, the reduction
isn't much, but every little helps.
In 1920 the citizens of Kennewick
paid state, county, school and NUM-
cipal taxes at the rate of IS mills.
This year the total levy is sc mills,
or a reduction of nine mills. Last
year the total levy in school district
II, outside the corporate limits, was
81 mills; this year it is 50. In the
Finley district the 1920 levy was So
and this year it is 81. The increase
is due to an increase of 8 mills in
the school levy. In 1920 Hover peo-
pie paid as mills; this year they will
pay 43. Like Finley, they have in,
creased the school levy while Kenne-
wick has decrease.
The natural tendency of the or
binary individual is to lay the blame
for high taxes first at the door of
the county commissioners. As mat
ter of fact the taxes over which the
county commissioners have any con-
troll are very small percentage of
the whole. This year the commits
sioners have made reduction in ev-
cry tax item over which they have
control insofar as they apply to this
commissioners district. The current
expense levy has been lowered from
$40 to 500; the general road and
bridge from $50 to 2.30 and the road
district from to mills. Had the
same percentage of decrease, which
the commissioners effected, been car
ried thruout the tax list the total
levy in this commissioners district
this year would have been 1889 in
stead of 81 mills.
A study of the several items in the
total levy shows the biggest taxation
burden which the people of this state
are shouldering is that of maintaining
the educational system and that sys-
tenn is the kind of system the peo-
pie have demanded.
Exclusive of special assessments,
such as irrigation, drainage, etc., 65
cents of every tax dollar paid by the
Finley district goes to maintain the
schools of the district, county and
state; 81 cents of every tax dollar
paid by the residents of the Kenne-
wick district outside the city, goes for
the same purpose and in the Hover
district the percentage is 81.
From 1920 to 1921 state school
taxes increased from 6.94 to 81
mills, an increase of IL per cent. Dur
ing the same time state taxes for all
other ses-administration mill
tary, highways, capitol building, re-
clamation and veterans compensation,
decreased 20 per cent.
The increase in school taxes, exclu-
sive of the district levies, is shown by
the following items, the 1920 levies
being given first: county 2.5S-2.8O;
state 5.20-5.60; University Soils;
State College, .49-.70; Bellingham
normal .17-22; Cheney normal, Is
IS; Ellensburg normal, .13--.14; and
a new normal, Centralia, was added
in 1921 with levy of -.

"Job herewith acknowledges not only
the power of God but in the accom-
panying Scripture of this particular
text, be acknowledges the justice OF
God. Any mention of justice suggests
to lis. trial. Job was on trial not only
for his physical life but for life eternal
He was being tried by the afflictlon
of Satan's guarded allowance. Instead
of this affliction weakening his faith
in God, it was an incentive to zeal
and instead Of Jobs listening to the
many entreaties to renounce his faith
and die or get well, he declares his
belief in the wisdom and strength OF
God and asks: Who hath hardened
himself against Him and prospered?' ?
There is an old story in the Greek
annals, of a soldier under Antigonus
who had a disease about him which
was very painful and seemed likely
to soon bring him to the grave.
First In Battle
This soldier was always first in
the charge, rushing into the hottest
part of the battle, bravest of the brave.
His pain prompted him to fight; that
he might forget it and he feared not
death because he knew that in any case
he had not long to live. Antigonus who
greatly admired the vaior of his soldier.
discovering his malady, took him to
one of the great physicians Of that
day and had him cured; but alas. from
that day the once valorous warrior
was absent from the front of the bat
tie. he now sought his case, and made
the remark to his companions: Now
I have something to live for-health,
home, family aud other comforts and |
shall not risk my life as before So
it is when our troubles are many, we
are often by grace made courageous in
serving God, we feel that we have
nothing to live for in this world, and
we are driven by hope Of the world
to come: to exhibit zeal, self-denial,
and industry. But how often is it other
wise in better times, for then the joys
and pleasures of this world make it
hard for us to remember the world
to come and we sink into ease.
History repeats itself and this
morning it is not Job on trial but we
are on trial. Many are guilty and pol
luted and ignorant of any means of
deliverance; nevertheless there is one
certainty that we we'll know, and that
is the fleetness of life. To all it is
a prophetic fact. to some it is ter
rifle fact and to others it is cheering
fact. Let us look at it.
A Prophetic Fact

powers. Doubt the fact? Who of us

anong CburcbeS Of @reat falls

Yes, everywhere the news Of the
fallen places is being cried out from
the house tops, every newspaper and
magazine heralds it. Every observ-
ing eye sees it. In the days of Nehe-
miah the news fell on many ears but
aroused only one leader. Note his
reaction, And it came to pass when
/ heard these words that / sat down
and wept and mourned certain days
Nehemiah enjoying his happy position,
yet mourns for the misfortunes of his
distant countrymen. He become
great through his suffering The
Quaker sergeant who had the remark
able interview. with Lincoln, tells US
that never smile played upon that
sad countenance during their conver-
sation.
Great From Suffering
Lincoln was great, just as Nehe-
miah and Christ, because he suffered
over the misfortunes of his fellows.
The fallen places of our present world
will only be built up by those who
suffer in their presence. If YOU lack
this capacity you may as well make
up your mind to meager contribu-
ton to the building of the new world.
THE second reaction of Nehemiah
was prayer. 1 tasted and prayed be-
fore the God of heaven His prayer
is model. He does not whine about
the fate Of the Jews. He does not
call down the wrath Of God upon his
enemies, he does not excuse himself
or pray for his own personal inter-
ests. His prayer has sweep and
range. He takes the sin of this great
nation into his own heart as though
it were his own sin and lifts it into
the presence of forgiving Father.
He simply confesses that the people
have sinned and Will do better with
His help.
"Then fortified by prayer, he goes
into the presence of the king and
asks that he be granted the commits
sion to build up the fallen places of
Jerusalem. 1t was dangerous re-
quest to make. If it were denied it
meant that he might lose his life.
Men were often killed for more petty
reasons If his request were granted
it meant an end to his life of luxury
and ease. Il would bring to him

the impossible for the sake of God

to couriers who bring evil tidings,
it may be that they are calling US to
our task. God will open the way if
we are willing to undertake the work.
But He must wait for those who are
terrified by the Affections of others.
