CLUB OPPOSES
TAX FREE BILL
Not in Favor Of Permitting
Cities to Sell Power
Unless Taxed

At its noon luncheon today the Ken
newick Commercial club went on re-
cord as opposed to municipalities be-
ing permitted by law to extend the
operation of their public utilities be-
yond their corporate limits unless
such utilities are properly taxed and
regulated.
The clubs action was taken upon
reports made by n. Mclean, chair
man Of the Legislative committee and
by w. C. Muldrow, chairman of the
special committee which represented
the club at the meeting of the Column
bia Valley Municipal League in Pasco
Tuesday.
Mr.. Mclean reported that two bills
relative to this question are now
pending in the legislature. One pro-
vides that municipalities may extend
their operations into the surrounding
country tax free, while the other pro-
posed five per cent gross earnings
tax. The clubs Legislative committee
he said, favored the latter measure.
tend their utilities into the country.
This committees report, Mr.. Null
drow said, was contrary to action
taken at the Pasco meeting, where
the Kennewick committee was in the
minority in advocating that tax be
imposed upon municipalities who ex-
tend their utilities into the country.
This meeting was attended by about
25 men representing some dozen COM
munities. With Mr.. Muldrow on the
Kennewick committee were r. E. Pratt
and Gordon C. Moores, who backed
the stand taken by their chairman.
The meeting went on record as IA
voring the passage of the bill allow
ing cities. to sell electric power out
side their limits and opposing the
other measure which would impose a
gross earnings tax on all public util-
tiles which cities sell to other commun-
tiles. In Difference to the wishes of
the Kennewick delegation the meet
ing authorized q second resolution to
the effect that the league was not
opposed to the placing on the tax
rolls utilities of cities operating be-
yond their corporate limits.

TO WORK FOR
CANNING PLANT.
Farm Bureau, Grange and
Commercial Club Making
United Effort

Kennewick is going after a cannery.
Talk which for months has skirted
around the edges of the canning ques-
tion has at last crystalized into ac-
tion which is to be carried on jointly
by the Farm Bureau, the Grange and
the Commercial Club.
At meeting of committees repre-
senting these three organizations
Tuesday in Secretary Crawford's Of
fices, Lee M. Lampson was delegated
to go to Oregon City to confer with
officials Of the Oregon Packing conn
pany and to Portland for similar
conference with officials of the King
Dehydrating company.
Mr.. Lampson will lay before these
men the possibilities for canning OPP
erations in this district. Committee
men believe that one Of the strongest
arguments in favor of this as a cam
merry location is the long growing sea-
son and variety of products which fol-
low each other to maturity from early
spring until late fall. They point
out that cannery could begin opea-
tions with asparagus in the spring
and continue throughout the season
on other vegetables and fruits.
1t is thought that many farmers,
owing to unsatisfactory prices for
their products, would be willing to
enter into long time contracts to grow
the kind of crops required for canning
purposes.

MORE SCALE
IN ORCHARDS
Horticultural Inspector Give
Warning to Local
Fruitgrowers

Wendell p. Brown, district horti-
cultural inspector and his assistant
w. E. Johns are making determin-
ed effort to assist the orchardists of
this district to prevent the spread of
the San Jose scale.
A few years ago the scale had
been practically eradicated from or
chards Of this district. But be-
cause Of failure of some growers to
continue the use of dormant sprays,
because Of neglected and abandoned
orchards and willow growths along
bitches, fumes and the. river front,
this orchard pest is showing up again
in many orchards.
Mr.. Johns has completed the in
spsction of many nearby orchards and
reports that scale is to be found in
nearly every orchard in the Garden
Tracts and along the River Road. He
has also found some scale in High
lands orchards, especially where will
lows have been permitted to grow.
He says the Watersusers' association
win cut all willow growth from its
canals and calls upon orchardists to
clean out and burn the growths along
their fumes and fence rows. Last year
the city and county cut the willows
along most Of the river front in the
orchard district. This winter the
remaining tree gowths are being cut
out. Mr.. Johns says some Of the
trees are large enough for fire wood
and can be had for the cutting.
Regarding the scale menace, In
spector Brown has issued the follow
ing statement:
.At the time the last fruit crop
was picked, it was realized that 9
very serious infection Of San Jose
scale was scattered over the district
but field inspection since then has
shown US that the San Jose scale is
present in many places that we die
not locate at the time Of picking
This makes it even more urgent fol
the people in the district to make
preparations for the dormant spray
The old standard for this spray is the
liquid lime sulphur and there promises
to be large amount Of it used this
season. It should be diluted in the
tank until the test is degrees
