GET NAMES FIRST

T,HE Valley Grange has requested
i the Kennewick Valley Telephone
company to give in its directory, the
address of each patron.
This request calls to mind that
years ago the city council started talk
ing about marking the streets and
numbering the houses in Kennewlck.
For several years Kennewick has been
entitled to free mail delivery IN the
corporated limits but before this can
be done the streets must be marked
and the houses numbered. Whether
or not we have free mail delivery, it
would be an excellent idea to mark
the streets. Only comparatively few
people know the names and locations
of the city streets and until they are
marked street directory in the tele-
phone book would not be as OF great
value as it should be.
The Courier-Reporter believes the
Grange has made good suggestion
but the country districts are about
as indefinitely defined as are the city
streets. No studied attempt has ever
been made to establish boundaries

bill. or some other bill. What they
want is results.
It is reasonable to suppose, how
ever, that the Mellon bill, written, by
experts aftdr careful investigation
and study of the tax question is more
sound than the Garner substitute
which came into being as a vehicle
by means of which the democrats
could oppose the Mellon measure.
Apparently there is no disagree
ment between the proponents of the
two measures as to the end sought
The divergence of opinion comes as to
the means of attaining the end, III
what in fact would be the actual re-
suits obtainable from the two bills
The public is not qualified to pass
upon the merits of the two and we
doubt if many of the members of con-
gress are so qualified
This being true it seems that the
safer course would be to accept the
Judgment of the secretary of the
treasury rather than that of the Cen
tleman from Texas.

and name the several rural districts
around Kennewick. This should be
done. The nearest attempt to define
and name the rural neighborhoods
has been by the country correspon-
dents of this paper, and the overlap

This paper would like to see the
Oranges suggestion carried out. But
before it is done would it not be well
for the Oranges and other rural or
