Keeper made out his federal return
and paid onr per cent on his net
income, He was then through
for the year.
Now this is all changed, Besides
his local tax nearly all industrial
states have imposed various lcyies,
and the federal capital stock and
income taxes are real factor in de-
tcrmining costs,
Tax collections by federal, state
and local authorities have increased

20 local taxes, $S9&,o0O,00 10 state
taNos and 100000 TO federal
taxes. Local and state taxation
has increased about four-fold.
What this means when applied to
smaller units can be expressed thus:
The tax burden amounts TO about
on"-cigh'h Of the national income
It is about $lS5 for every person
gainrully employed; 1t is about $40
Tor every man, woman and child in
the country; it is about $500 per
family When we consider that the
national income is huf little over
$500 per person, the effect Of a $40
cut in this amount is rapidly apprc-
ciable.
II will readily bc seen that these
various items Of manufacturing cost
have increased far beyond the raise
in hardware prices, 1t does not
appear that prices in general can be
/ lower in the near future. While

manufacture may complain that he

the prosperity and freedom from
distress arising from full employ
ment Of the workers at good wages.
The Only Disaster That Faces Us
So long as American manufactures

pay our taxes and other expenses,
however imposed, and have a little
left over for the capital employed in
our business. The only disaster
that could overtakc lis would be the
opening of our markets to those
who are subject to our conditions
and which would ultimately result
in transferring the responsibilities
now carried by American industry tC
other American shoulders.

keep the situation within bounds,
aided by the increasing volume OF
business and the savings that can
be effected in quantity production
The fact that the home market is
tho best market In the world, para
doNial as Il may seem, has been
factor In keeping prices down by
ufiorling opportunities OF lowering
costs by this quantity production.
The most important item OF
manufacturing expense, Of course, is
the payroll. Statistics indicate that
the weekly earnings in the hardware
industry have increased $50 per
cent since 1911, and that the hours
OF work have decreased about 10
per cent. In other words, the wage

ASK COOPERATION
IN FARM CENSUS
Secretary of Agriculture Wants
Help of Farmers in TAX
ing of Census

1t is not an easy matter to take a
complete farm census of every farm
in the United States. or any part of
it. The state is divided into districts.
H. v. Wexler of Pasco, has charge of
the fourth district and has "a enum-
orators working for him. The enumer-
aters have only short time in which
to complete the work and they ask
through the secretary of agriculture
that the farmers give them all The
help possible by having reaGy the
data concerning their farms and re-
plying quickly to the inquiries. This
does not seem important but if ev-
cry member of the 1900 farms were
slow in answering it would take con-
siderably more time to complete the
work.
Howard M. Gore, secretary of ag.
riculture, says in behalf of the enum-
orators and to the farmers.
The department Of agriculture is
vitality interested in the census of
agriculture for which the enumeration
is now in progress. Every farmer
should also be interested in this work
because this census will result in OBJ
tanning facts that will lead to pro-
per understanding OF the actual con-
ditions existing throughout the coun-
try.
"The census is taken by TIE de-
partment of commerce in cooperation
with the department Of agriculture.
The schedule of inquiry was approved
by the department of agriculture and
directed to'determine matters of fun
damental Importance to the welfare
of the agricultural industry. This
census is needed as a basis for the
annual crop estimates of the depart
ment of agriculture and it is of great
Importance that the results be- ac-
curate. The totals of farm acreage,
land utilization, livestock, crops. etc.
will show actual conditions during
1924 and will be used for the prepar-
alton of estimates for each year until
the next census.
This census is being taken pri.
marily for the benefit of the farmers.
l can assure them that all of the in
formation contained on the census
schedule will be treated as strictly
confidential and will be used only for
statistical purposes to show the totals
for the different counties and states.

hennewlck hmgntS OF fytnlaS put
on First Degree to Class of Two
At the regular meeting last Tues
day night, the X. of P. lodge confer
red the first degree to a class of
two. The degree was a success and al
tho the new members, Ross Willsey
and Mr.. Clark are still wondering
what the initiation is all about, it
is believed by those who attended that
there will be no serious effects from
the experience.
The second degree will be conferred
next Tuesday if the team can whip
themselves into shape at that time.
1t is planned, on January 20, for
the Kennewick lodge to meet with the
Pasco order and the third degree will
be staged at that time.
"This meeting and the one next
Tuesday are meetings that need good
attendance" says Higley "and every
member of the order should try to
be present"

At their regular meeting, in the

the DeMolay showed their parents

able of putting on good program.
After installing the officers elect
ed the meeting before, they intro

and friends were much pleased with
the efforts of that branch of the

The orchestral selections were fol-

should be printed in newspapers"

SHALL WE?

r FITS turn a new leaf. Let's make
~ it the rule from this day, to speaN
not word about our town or anybody
in it if it be not to uplift him OF
the town.
If you are asked about the town,
its products, inhabitants, future or
immediate projects, tell the things
that are good about them and forget
the things that run those things down.
You will find that after little prac-
tice that there are more things to be
said on the good side than there are
on the wrong side of most things in
and around town. In doing this how
ever, let us be careful not to tell any
thing that is not the truth, for that
would bring people here who would
have right to kick for they would
have set their ideals too high.
Remember there is nothing we can
not do if they will give us time. The
only thing the people want is the
lUClu6ClOH duO u IIIIlC CiACOuAoSS-
ment once in a while and they will
put over any worth while project.
1t is not the one who says that the
country, valley and town is dead and
going to be buried soon that gets the
thing he goes after. Be careful that
we do not fall in that class and there
by lay ourselves open to failure.
We have a good town and we know
it. Telling other people the truth
about the things we are trying and
going to do will give them the cor
rect impression Of the town-we are
alive and doing things and we want
to know if there is anybody in or
out of town, that would like to start
anything that would make this town
just little bit or whole lot better.
If there is, we will help him by get
ting behind him. We will not knock
him but will see that he has every
opportunity the place affords for the
success Of the thing he has started.
It will help-shall we turn the leaf?

ANOTHER DIVISION
Kennewick Masons Get Letter Auth.
orizing Them Another Branch

Herbert Shanafelt came in the Of
flee few days ago and blew around
about some paper containing few
million, inasmuches and therefores,
and few facts between the lines.
After we read it over twice and
studied it awhile, we found that it
must mean that the local order of
Scottish Rite Masons is given its "let-
tiers temporary under which they
may organize another division of their
lodge.
AS the letters indicate, the third
division in the Scottish Rite cere-
monies, comprising degrees from the
fourteenth to the eighteenth, is grant,
ed authority to organize a local chap
ter. The new lodge will become a re-
atty next Friday night at the Ma
sonic hall, when there will be meet
ing of the Kennewick Lodge of Per-
lection. Only Masons who have COM
pleted the first fourteen degrees are
eligible for the new order. Instituting
officers are G. H. Shanafelt, w. L.
Craver and DR.. L. G. Spaulding.

mean intelligence in the art of de-
batting. This feature was not only en-
joyed by the visitors but also by the
members themselves.
After talks from H. w. Desgranges
and DR.. Spaulding, vocal solos were
given by the Johnson brothers.
Refreshments were served and the
events of the evening were discussed
and future problems and undertake
ings of the order were talked of.
r. @. Macmahon takes Herbert
Shanafelt's place as DeMolay advisor
for the coming year. The rest of the
advisory board stays the same.

COLD WEATHER
IS BEST Time
TO STAR GAZE

WASHINGTON, Dec. Though
the state of the coal bin may cause
natural doubts winter does not Of
fcially begin until 1897 a. m. on
Dec. %.
Still, points out the American Ma
ture Association, cold weather
provides the best season Of all for
star gazing and in the beauties Of
the skies the coal in bin may be for
gotten.
In December the consultations
come into their best view in the East
says the association. Five stars of
Bthe first magnitude in all, may be
seen at this time in the Eastern sky
in addition to many of the second
magnitude. Venus will be at her
best
Venus will be a magnificent object
in the southwest for about three
hours after sunset. All during De.
cember Venus will parade a
brilliance that reaches maximum
Jan. 2.
You will find in the East Taurus,
The Bull, with it's well-known groups
of the Pleiades and Hyades and the
rudy Aldebaran, that represents
the eye of the. bull with it's many
stars of first and second magnitude.
To the North of Orion will be the
brilliant Capella, the goat, and her
small kids or Hoedi close by forming
a small triangular group that makes
it easy for>us to identify this brilliant
star. Castor and Pollux, the twins,
in Gemini will be well in view in the
Northeast.
On Dec. IL Mercury passes from
east to west Of the sun and after
that will be in tn emorning sky and
may possibly be seen in the South
west before sunrise the last few days
of the month when it will be at its
greatest distance west of the sun.
Saturn and Mars the American Ma
ture Association points out will be
in conjunction on Dec. Is.
In the North Cassiopeila is passing
to/the West Of the meridian and the
Big Dipper is swinging over to the
East Of the meridian though it is
still close to the northern horizon to
sbe seen to advantage. The great
vsquare in Pegasus covers large
space in the western sky and will
be found about halfway between the
horizon and the zenith.
