THE RIGHT SPIRIT

Twenty years ago on November 80,
John Eichner landed in Kennewick.
For twelve years he worked for the
Kennewick Hardware. Later he went
into the tin and plumbing game, and
took his son in with him and has
built up good business, and is well
liked on account of his genial atti-
tude, and good workmanship. Recent
ly John conceived the idea that the
old Kennewick Hand Laundry site on
East Yakima ST., would be dandy
location for his business, and is busy
moving in as fast as possible and
all things being equal will be firmly
planted by New Years.
That's the spirit! 1t must be the
air of Kennewick. It's that kind OF
attitude of mind and muscle that's
going to bring the old town out of
the rut. Maybe that's the trouble.
Some of you other fellows move
around a bit; pick up the choice To-
cations if yours isn't one at the pre-
sent time. Anything to get things
started. Bravo John! Keep up the
good work, and here's good luck to
you and your SON.

such topics as feeding, management,
brooding, and marketing. The school

Last year over 125 Benton county
poultrymen took advantage of this
opportunity to get the latest infor-
nation on poultry raising and report
good results in their projects as a
result. The meetings are open to all
and larger attendance is expected
than ever. since they are held at a
time when the poultrymen are free
to leave the farm.

HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI BALL

The first of what is to be known
as the Annual Alumni ball was
launched Tuesday night at the High
land club house. The Christmas deco
rations were still evident giving a
very inviting effect. Nothing was
omitted which would ensure a real
fine time, and the co-eds went into
the thing with their usual splendid
spirit. The serves of the Twin City
orchestra which is new musical ad-
dition to Pasco. were secured and
they made a real hit. About 25 of the
current class of graduates were in
attendance.
Invitations were broadcasted among
the graduates and undergraduates
of the High school, and extended out
into the ranks of the general pubic.
Certain novelty features of enter :
tainment were introduced which tend
ed to vary the program and give
breathing space for those participat-
ing in the dances. Any surplus mon
ey after paying expenses, it is be-
lieved, will be put into fund Tor
perpetuating the event. The idea is
certainly a good one and will tend
to cement real school fellowships
from year to year which we are sure
in many cases will continue thru life.

SUSTAIN VETO
OF GOVERNOR
Three Bills Fail to Pass
Over Hartleys Veto
in House

Senate Bill No. 40, which provided
for an increased millage of tax levy
for aiding higher institutions of
learning for a period of years went
down with 81 votes for and 33
against.
Senate Bill No. 219, in which rep
resentative Moulton was particularly
interested which would allow new
buildings and necessary improve
ments, and also provide additional
funds for operation Of higher schools
for next year, also suffered defeat
So for, and 35 against. The governor
also vetoed section B Senate Bill "a
reerring to law Libraries, which We
to was sustained, 48 members voting
for and 46 against, 3 absent.
Representative Hanks Of Kittitas,
and Moulton of Benton put up a
strong plea for the bill No. 219. on
the ground Of its effect upon the ed
ucational system of the state as. a
whole with factionalism omitted, and
felt that any appropriations made
after its defeat could not adequately
compensate, or satisfactorily meet
the needs Of the situation.

FEDERAL AID RECORD

The past year holds the record over
any previous year for federal aid on
highways. 11,329 miles were COM
pleted. The previous high year mark
was a little less than 10000 miles.
The mileage that has been completed
since 1917 totals 46,486 miles. The
figures given for the year just passed
account only for those portions that
are entirely completed. They do not
embrace road building activities that
are still in progress. There are some
stretches yet to be finished that have
a total length Of 12,463 miles. The
work just ended represents an ap-
proximate cost of two hundred ana
forty three million dollars, Of which
one hundred and eleven million dol
lars were paid by the United States
government. Since 1917 the govern,
ment has furnished three hundred
and seventy three million dollars as
it's portion Of the road work.-Na-
tional Press Service.

Mr. Moulton considers that the
governor in his message proposed ex.
treme remedies, particularly with
regard to education. and on being
pressed for explanation said further
when he proposed to abolish present
methods. including the office Of SUI.
perlntendent of public instruction,
and when he said the entire system
OF education from the kindergarten
to the university should be placed
under a board to be appointed by
himself. :
The legislature has before it no
Information upon which it can base
a wise decision upon the recommen-
cations OF the governor. The execu-
tive did not see fit to furnish us with
the information upon which he based
his recommendations. Certainly no
citizen would go so far as to follow
his recommendations blindly. be-
l1eve it only fair to say that the
members of the legislature recognize
much merit in many Of the things the
governor has discussed. They are not
prpared to follow him to his ultimate
conclusions however. Hence they felt
that before acting upon those recon-
mendations, the people Of the state
should themselves give these matters
careful consideration to the end that
when the legislature is convened in
regular session in 1927 some rational
conclusion may be arrived at upon
the various matters recommended. y
Speaking Of the school question,
Mr.. Moulton suggested that practi-
cally all the state of the Union have
passed thru the same difficulties that
confront us, and that we might well
study their methods, and apply where
practicable to our own conditions, and
SO, perhaps, eliminate some Of our
own difficulties.
Mr.. Moulton is frank to say that
81 am perfectly willing to assume
that the governors expressions were
made in good faith, but I am un-
willing to follow him in any one Of
the three main propositions. Certain
ly the people Of the state are capable
of deciding what they want to do
with reclamation, roads and educa-
tion, without destroying any one of
the three, and it is my conviction
that if the governors recommends
tions were followed as they are made
the result would be destructive"

HIGH. CLUB N. Y. DANCE

The annual dance and dinner spon-
sored by the Highland Improvement
club will be held New Years night.
Last year chicken was served but
this time, turkey will grace the fes-
tive board. Dinner will be served from
5 pm. followed at 7:30 by radio
concert staged by the Empire Elec-
trio company which will last until 9
o'clock. The Grand march will then
take place headed by prominent To-
cal residents. President C.. A. Nit
chell anticipates both good time
and fine crowd.
The club house is very prettily dec
GRATED with Christmas and New
Years effects, and looks very invit-
ing. The Highland ladies will serve
the dinner in their usual fine style,
with plenty to eat and good service,
and they can do it!
The Highland Improvement club is
working towards the object of reliev-
ing the building of all debt, which
will allow also, occasionally the use
of it for benefit purposes free of
charge. 1t is their wish also to make
the club house rendezvous worthy
of the interest and support of those
with the most conservative tastes,
in fact real community proposition,
where kindred spirits may meet in
harmony and good will to recuperate
after daily toll by means of genuine
pleasure. The rest remains with the
patrons.

AGRICULTURAL
COUNCIL MEETS
Have Lively Meeting in
Olympia-Lampson is
Secretary

The Washington Agricultural coun-
Gil which is an organization function
ing in the interests of the growers,
is but year old: but it is alive, and
movng forward towards the goal of
effective cooperative marketing, thru
which, it is hoped that the producer
will eventually come into his own.
1t is not an easy road by any means,
but the end aimed at is worth while.
The council met at Olympia on De-
cember 22nd, and dealt thoroly with
two very important features of their
work. First as to how to devise ways
and means whereby joint representa-
tives may be placed in the more i'm
portant markets to get check on the
handling Of western commodities.
Second, to look into the best meth
DDS of securing suitable legislation to
cover agricultural problems. The
president of the association is Mr..
S. ID. Sanders, of the Washington
Egg and Poultry association, one Of
the largest and most successful or
ganizations of its kind in the state.
The meeting was also represented
by the United Dairymen's associa-
tion, The Wenatchee District Co.
operative association, the, Washing
ton Poultry Produce association, and
the Three Rivers Growers association
among others. Mr.. Lee M. Lampson
was the Kennewick delegate.
One very hopeful feature, thru the
efforts of the Washington Agricul.
tural council is that of looking to-
ward the possibility of overcoming
the present tremendous difficulty
with regard to legislation, that of the
presence of an efficient representa-
tive at the Legislature to be at the
service of those who may present bills
effecting the different lines of agri-
culture; one who has a fund of posi-
tive information if necessary to help
an intelligent discussion of the bill
before it is put to the vote.
The next meeting it is expected,
will be in March at Yakima. Mr..
Lampson is now secretary of the or
ganization and will be glad to fur
nish any information on the subject
of the principles and workings of the
association.

production of tubers in the valley
The other change from the usual an
nual report is the drop in sugar
beet production, this year but 18 car
loads. Most of these were produced
on land held by the Utah-Idaho Su-
gar company, which is still hoping
to find some means of combating the
sugar beet hopper so that the valley
may become center of the best sug-
ar industry as was anticipated before
the pest became such menace.

port are:

NOTHING VENTURE! NOTHING

There are times when speculation
proves to be ruinous to those who
persist, but on the other hand fortune
favors occasionally one here and
there. In this case two here in Ken
newick have had a slice of good luck
rendered them. Miss Olga Anderson,
one of the local teachres won the $50
Liberty bond, offered by Vibber-Gif-
ford's and Walter Lodge the stick of
candy by Lincoln's store. The weight
Of the candy was 49 lbs, a OF.

FATHERLY ADVICE

No matter how homely the old
flivver, if it's "going concern" it
needs more than gas and oil. It needs
a License, and needs it bad. All own
ers driving a car On January first
and on, will be in danger of arrest
and the trimming that goes with it
unless their new license is in evidence
Or satisfactory evidence that applica-
tion has been made.
The local police force listened in on
the radio recently and has been tipped
off that the weather will be colder,
and they really must have more exer-
else.

FARMERS EXCHANGE AUCTION

On Saturday at 1 pm. there will
be an opportunity to dispose of or
exchange anything and everything
that the farmer doesn't want to carry
over into the New Year. Such ar
ticles should be on the ground by
noon on Saturday in order to give
time to arrange in lots etc. Look out
for the Ford Touring car which is
to go for what it will fetch in price.
It will be real chance for some
one who may not have this mode of
travel at the present time.
By the way the Farmers Ex-
change received car load of dairy
cattle Thursday and are shipping
same to Spokane Thursday at a fair
average price. Good business.

CORRECTION

Our allusion to the bridge toll re-

destrians for example, but only to
those in vehicles, and of course does
not apply to the driver. This takes
effect January 1st, 1926.
