TX7E like to show the Moon
 w to men who know auto mobiles from radiator to tail light.
 They may be harder to con- vince than the other fellow, but once they have gone over the Moon, they are just that much more enthusiastic about what the Moon offers.
 There's another point, too
 You probably have heard an auto- mobile salesman try to put the Moon out of the running by calling it an assembled car."
 Now the man who knows automor piles forward and backward will tell you that the phrase assembled car" hasn't meant anything for years be- cause every car in America today is made up to a greater or less extent of standard speciaIist-n1ade units.

CANADA SHOWING AT
 BRITISH EXHIBITION
Contains Essence of the Works of
 / God and Man

London, April 1s.-canada's clcam- ing white building, containing an es- scnce of the works of God and man in the Dominion, will be ready when the bands begin to play for the open- ing of the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley, on St. Georges Day, April 2S.
 The men arranging Canada's dis play of herself at Wembley have worked with gingery speed alien to the mother country, and expect to prove their Anslo-American aptitude for getting things done by opening their show a week ahead Of the ex- hibition as a whole.
 Many of the other dominions and outposts Of empire which make up the melange of east and west that is rising from the mud at Wemblcy, may be little behind schedule, but not Canada. Her building, almost in the center Of the exhibition grounds, cov- CTS nearly four acres with its hand some neo-Grcek structure. A few yards away from it at either end are smaller buildings, each constructed by the railroads that cross the continent through the Dominion 10 encourage immigration to the lands along their route.
 Half Of tho Canadian exhibit is de- voted 10 the natural resources of the country; vast timber lands. rushing rivers and waterfalls. far-spread fields of grain, coal mines and asbestos beds, sheltered ports on both the Atlantic and the Pacific, the nustere Rockies, mountain lakes, and the north coun- try with ifs wealth of fur bearing ani- mals. The other half is given over 10 Canada's industries. In this sec ton the products of American capi- tal and brains will get their place in the never-setting sun of the British empire. By thus demonstrating 10 British investors what the American manufactures has been able to do in Canada, the Canadians hope to en- courage a greater flow of British capi- tai into their country.
 In pointinss and illuminated mural photographs Canada will depict her history in her fine building. hriis- tically she will ahev at least one original contribution to the exhibition, n group of mural decorations colored hy the seeds from her soil. Twenty seeds of as many shades of color arc used in this work, being sprinkled over papior maehe figures faced with glue. Al a short distance, they seem the work of the paint brush of an artist. There are black onion seeds, yellow mustard seeds. pea seeds of green, the orange and brown seeds Of grain. and so on.

And the Moon engineers have been left free to develop their speciality the fine skill and utmost care in de- signing and constructing the finished car.
 When you come to look over the Moon you will see that nothing finer looking has ever been produced than the cars we will show you.

Adoption was preceded by an ad-
dress lasting an hour, in which the
Rev. DR.. Edgar Whitaker Work, pas
tor of Fourth Church and chairman
Of the investigating committee, set
forth its reason for upholding Rev.
Dr. Fosdick's preachings.
Rev. DIR. Bucanan's protest was based
on three counts. The first was that ap-
proval of Rev. DR.. Fosdick's preach
ing did not carry out the mandate of
the General Assembly at indianapolis
in 1925. that Rev. DR.. Fosdick had
not made a clear declaration Of be-,
lief in the testaments, the virgin
birth. the sacrif1cial death OF Christ
on the cross, the resurrection and
the miracles. and that the commit
tees report was founded on hearsay,
Rev. DR.. Work having admitted he
never. had heard Rev. DR.. Fosdick
preach.
The second ground for protest was
that the church committee in propos-

ing q commission to investigate the
powers OF the General Assembly was
guilty OF unwarranted and disloyal
crftiscism Of the acts OF the assem-
b1ies.

to $5,122, 4O5, 900, an increase Of 62.S.
To the Courier-Reporte the most
interesting fact in the table is that
the value of taxed real estate and inn
provements increased GAL and exempt
real property Exclusive of Rainier
National Parl) increased 1908. In
other words the exempt side of the
states ledger has been growing more
than twice as fast as the taxed side,
and this is for real property only.
There is no segregation to show
lust what was responsible for the big
increase in exempt properties. But
whatever the cause, whether the crea-
ton of new public reserves, the re-
version of tax-delinquent properties,
the increased value of school or other
granted lands, or the widening scope
of public ownership enterprises, there
is no escaping the fact that the base
upon which we are pyramiding taxes
is not keeping pace with the over
load. Every item of property that re-
verts to the taxing unit because of un-
paid taxes not only decreases the tax
able base but increases the overhead
burden; every government ownership
undertaking which 4upplants pri-
vate enterprise not only cuts away
another chunk from below without re-
lieving the overhead weight, but leads
a new procession of taxable property
to the boneyard by the confiscation
route. So it is the whittling-away
process gains momentum with each
stroke
We are rapidly coming to the time
when there must be a halt. Either
the taxable base must be widened,
and new sources of revenue found,
or the tax load must be reduced. And
the tax burden can never be mater
tally reduced until the demand for re-
duction becomes in fact, a demand
and desire for curtailed governments
al activities. 1t may be possible to
devise ways and means to distribute
the tax burden but we cannot hope
to greatly reduce the sum total of
tax-raising until we first vacate some
of the avenues Of tax-spending.
The correct solution doubtless is
to be found but it doesn't lie along
the route we have been travelling,
that Of maintaining a two to one in
crease ratio between our exempt and
our taxable real property.

know the details of the plan but
it is prompted to say, "thank God
at last here is one Chamber of Com
merce that has gotten the correct
viewpoint of the agricultural prob
LEM" It is noteworthy that the State
Chamber proposes to proceed upon
the theory that agriculture is basic
and is going to put forth an effort
to solve the peoples problem and not
the farmers problem. The condition
of agriculture today is not the farm
ers' problem but the community's
problem, the states problem, the
nations problem. 1t is a problem
that vitality affects all the people
and not any class and as soon as
we begin to tackle the problem from
that standpoint and not in the atti-
tude of helping the farmer, we shall
begin to get results. The farmer does
not need help, but the nation, the
state and the community dependent
upon the success of agriculture does
need help.
The sooner chambers of commerce,
commercial clubs, the business inter-
ests and the people generally can be
brought to the realization that farm
prosperity is essential to national
prosperity the sooner will some prac-
tical solution of the present prob
lem be evolved.
Locally the Commercial club is be-
ginning to look with a new light
upon the condition of agriculture in
this community and some worth
while results are to be expected from
cooperative effort on the part of
the townspeople and the farmers. The
Kennewick business mans gravest
problem today is not the cost Of
goods, high rents or merchandising
methods. His big problem is the con-
dition which prevails on the farms
surrounding the town. The time has
come when the business man should
accept the farm problem as his own
problem.
In its new effort the State Cham
Der of Commerce is to be congrat-
ulated and is deserving Of generous
support throughout the state. The
present management of the Chamber
is undertaking to do something con-
structive. It is putting its energies
back of state program and united
state should be back Of it.

THE Grandview Herald last week
punched the clock on the sixteenth
year of it's existence.
If the people of ,Grandview are

tor, Chaplin d. Foster, they should

smalltown newspapers and one OF
the best editors in the country.
In calling attention to his papers
birthday, Mr.. Foster says: II have
faith in Grandview, in Washington
and in the United States. ! have
faith in country journalism, the
cleanest journalism the world knows
today. I believe the future is going
to offer wonderful opportunities OF
constructive citizenship to country
communities and to community news
papers. Measuring up to those oppor-
tunities is going to be real job for
all of u.s."
The man who has faith in his
country, in his profession and in
himself; who realizes that opportun-
tiles for constructive citizenship and
well doing are now and here, not
in the past or the future, or off yon-
DER; who is willing and ready to
measure up to those opportunities
that man, we say, is valuable as
set to any community. Mr.. Foster
is that type of man. The people of
Grandview are to be congratulated.
