TAN LEAGUE PRESIDENT
MAKES GODD SUGGESTIONS

To the People of Whitman County:
II you have not organized your
local tax association you should do
so now Every town and hamlet
should have a permanent tax organ
ization on the job all the time, year
in and year out
When organized, appoint commit
tees on membership, finance, roads,
school and town (if you are in an
incorporated town. Mail list of
your officers to Fred McCroskey, sec
rotary of the county association, at
Colfax.
Our bylaws provide for meetings
of the trustees, that is representatives
of local organizations, four times a
year; the next meeting to be May q
At that time let's have representa-
tives present from every community
able to report accomplishment in the
way of reduced local public expense.
Each committee on roads, school
and town should study its particular
problem and make specific recon-
mendations for retrenchment, II
possible
Remember that if 1922 taxes are
to be lowered, 1922 spending must
be reduced The time to reduce is
now; the way to reduce is to reduce.
Therefore 1t is suggested that each
of these committees make specific
recommendations in black and white,
as to reduction of specific expenses.
For instance, here is a suggested rec
commentator for your road commit
tee to bring in and have signed by
majority of your voters:
ITO ..... Supervisor of Road
district No. ........
1--WE the undersigned taxpayers
(and ORR voters respectfully request
that you set aside, to be carried over
and used next year, at least 25 per
cent of the funds available to you
for road work this year. We also
ask that as soon as the frost is out
of the ground you thoroughly
care for culverts, bridges and drain
bitches, and use the money that is
left to the best advantage on the
most important roads And over and
above all else, we request that you
commence work early and get
through soon"
To some this procedure may seem
unnecessary but I believe it is i'm
portant. Quite a number of people
are hot for general reduction of taxes
but lukewarm when it comes to spe-
cific reduction of expenses. We must
get these people down in black and
white.
Respectfully
RALPH COMEGYS,
Pres Whitman Co. Taxpayers Assn.

NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS

The people of Pullman have good
reason to rejoice over the news that
in the near future work viii be start
ed on the construction OF another
large dormitory for men at the State
College and of a community house of
10 separate units near the business
section. Both are much needed i'm
proyements and will go a long way
toward solving the housing problem.
For several years very few houses
have been built in Pullman, but the
demand for them has steadily in
creased. Last fall at least SO fam
lies, which desired to locate in Pull
man, were unable to do so because
they could not secure homes in which
to live, and a number of students,
who wished to enroll at the State
College. went away because they
could not find satisfactory rooming
accommodations.
The pressing demand for houses
near the college has forced up rents
beyond the point justified by the or
iginal cost of construction of the
houses. This in turn has forced the
occupants to charge high prices for
rooms rented to students or other
persons. A point has been reached
where neither the college nor the city
IL
are provided
The construction of the new dorm
itory, with accommodations to house
from $50 to 210 men, will greatly re-
lieve the situation and tend to re-
duce the congested demand for rooms
in private dwellings. The proposed
community house. with accommoda-
tons for 10 families, will somewhat
relieve the housing situation. AS
the supply of houses and rooms more
nearly equals the demand, the rents
of both are likely to decline.
But these two buildings are but
step in the right direction. Many
more houses will be needed to meet
the normal growth of the college and
city and to force property owners to
fix rents on the basis of the original
cost of their buildings instead of on
the replacement cost. Every addi-
tional student enrolled at the college
and every new family which locates
in Pullman will add to the business
and prosperity of the community.
Construction costs are consider
ably lower than they were a year ago
and, according to well posted author
tiles, as low as they are likely to be
for several years to come. This fact
justifies a reasonable hope that peo-
pie who have been postponing build
ing from year to year will wait no
longer, but will help to make 1922 a
record breaker in the way of erecting
houses in the city of Pullman.
The city can not grow unless its
population increases and its popula-
ton can not increase unless more
houses go up and rents come down.

ures il can be shown that the budget
of Washington compares very favor
ably with the budgets of other states,
having about the same assessed valu-
alton of realty. The proper authori-
ties should take the matter up with
the publishers of the World Almanac,
for the publication of figures indicat-
ing such an unreasonable high budget
will be sure to iniure the state of
Washington. The cost of administer
ing the government Of this state is
high enough without making it ap-
pear any higher than it really is.

NEW GAME BIRDS
IMPORTED FROM CHINA


Scores of rare birds imported from
China for the department of game of
the state of Washington were includ-
ed in the cargo of the steamship
Eldridge. Captain Fred w. Brooks,
when she locked at Smith Cove from
the Orient. The birds were brought
here by A. ]. Park, acting for the de-
partment, who went to China several
months ago.
Due to an accident large number
of birds were lost on the voyage, but
". w. Kinney, supervisor of the de-
partment of game and game fish
said there were still enough remain
ing to make a good start.
Mr.. Park reported that he had tre-
mendous difficulties in getting the
consignment out of China, due to the
large amount of routine that he had
to go through.
The absolutely new bird is the
Bamboo partridge, of which 800 were
shipped. Mr.. Kinney said they had
no idea of the exact number lost but
probably half. Straw was thrown
into the pens where they were kept,
and it was later discovered this had
been sprayed with a kind of poison
Gus substance, and in eating the
grain among the straw the birds were
poisoned.
The Bamboo partridge is from the
marshes of China, and these were
brought here to be turned loose in
the Puget Sound district. 1t is
smaller than the Hungarian partridge
and larger than the Bob White, but
it is said to be very fast on the wing
1t has bright coloring.
About $50 Chinese pheasants from
the northern and colder parts of
China are in the shipment They
were selected from the cold regions
to be liberated in the colder portions
of this state
Twenty-Five pairs of Spectacle
ducks and Mandarin ducks were
brought along These are beautiful
ducks, and are expected to do we'll
here.
The shipment includes a Thibet
ram, from the borderland of Mon
golia and China. 1t lives at an eleva-
ton of 10000 feet. Mr.. Park said
it was one of three in captivity in
the world. The other two are in
London. The state department will
keep the ram for Mr.. Park, who plans
to return to China in about three
weeks, and at that time he hopes to
secure female.
Kinney has recently brought in a
flock of prairie chickens from Mon
tana, and these will be distributed in
Lincoln county and the Big Bend
country east of the mountains, and
in Kittitas county.
The state game department will
have approximately 10000 Chinese
pheasant eggs for distribution to
those who wish to hatch and liberate
the birds in their counties throughout
the state. Some of the county com
are offering 500 per
bird at two months of age delivered
to the local game wardens, the state
to furnish the eggs free of charge,
The department will also sell the
eggs at $500 per dozen to those who
wish to raise birds for commercial

is supported by trust funds derived
from the sportsmen, receiving 10 per

to refute any such cheap bunk.
The routes Of state highways are
not determined, fixed or changed
by county commissioners. They
are Laid out and adopted by the
state highway department and the
facts are that the wishes of the
county commissioners are ignored
by the state department as often
"a they are acceded to. AS
matter Of fact the county commits
sinoers no longer have supervision
over even the maintenance of the
state highways. Maintenance work
il done and maintenance money ex-
pended directly by the state de-
partment. In other words Mr..
Briggs as private citizen has as
much authority to change the route
Of the state highway thru this
county a. he would have were he
elected county commissioner.
The mere thought of changing
the state highway out across the
desert is absurd. Nobody could
possibly be more interested in see
ing to it that the state highway
is maintained between here and
Richland than are the people OF
Kennewick. They would have ev-
erything to lose and nothing to
gain by change to the desert

large part of which will be arid

The state highway thru Richland
with its two bridges across the
Yakima is an expensive one to
maintain. We're the route chang
ed the maintenance cost would be
shifted from the state to the coun-
ty and the taxpayers of Kennewick
would pay the major portion Of that
upkeep.
Very naturally the Kennewick
citizens are as vitality interested
in the impression created upon
tourists as are the citizens OF Rich

finer or more attractive to show
the tourists than the farm homes
along the Columbia river between
Kennewick and Richland and thru
the Richland project. Certainly
Kennewick has no desire to send
the tourist out Of the county with
the belief that Benton county is a
barren waste.

LET'S BE REASONABLE

THIS is an editorial concerning
= the candidacy of r. H. Briggs,
Of Kennewick, republican, and q.
d. Mitchell, of Richland, democrat.
for the office Of county commits
sioner. The editorial, however, is
entirely impersonal and nonparti-
san. 1t is not plea for the cleo
ton Of the one and the defeat OF
the other; it is not an appeal for
party fealty or community loyalty;
it is a plea for an open and candid
understanding between the people
Of two neighboring communities
to the end that existing friendships
may not be undermined and weak
ened.
Richland is entitled to candi-
date for county commissioner. Mr..
Mitchell as candidate is entitled
to the support Of the voters OF his
community and his party. But it
is not fair to Mr.. Mitchell or his
friends; it is not fair to Mr.. Briggs
or his friends; it is not fair to the
people Of these two neighboring
communities, that any false issues
be injected into this contest.
Word has come to The Courier
Reporter that Mr.. Mitchell was in
duced to become a candidate
against his own personal desires
upon the representation that the
people, or the political leaders, or
somebody in Kennewick, was con-
spring to take the Inland Empire
Highway away from Richland and
route it out over the Highlands via
Badger direct to Benton City, and
they hoped to further the conspir-
acy by the election of Mr.. Briggs.
Whoever originated this story is
the manufacturer of unadulterated
tommyrotlthe kind that cheap
ems citizenship, corrupts politics,
and deters men Of quality from be-
coming active participants in things
political.

PLAY TO BE GIVEN
BY AMERICAN LEGION

"Sittin Pretty" an A. E. F. play
will be staged by Grangeville post
American legion, in Odd Fellows
hall, Che evening of February TO- The
play, a musical comedy, portrays army
life as the boys who were in France
saw it. 1t is to be presented only by
ex-service men and members Of the
auxiliary.
Those who, between 1917 and 1910,
wondered what life was like behind
the battle front, and the part the
Y. M. G. A. worker played in the
war, will have revealed to them a
phase of army life little known to
those who were not in the American
Expeditionary forces. The play is
lnterspersed with snappy musical num-
bers. A mild love story is expressed
in the play and musical numbers.
