INTEREST RATE
is CUT TO PCT.
Second Reduction in Inter:
est Carried on County's
Warrant Indebtedness

County Auditor e. O. Keene an
nounces another cut in the warrant
interest. This is the second cut he
has made since taking office. Since
the formation Of Benton county some
twenty years ago school and irriga-
ton warrants have drawn interest at
the rate Of eight per cent. Three
months after taking office, Mr.. Keene
reduced the rate to seven per cent
on all warrants. Beginning Novem-
Der first interest on school district
warrants will draw interest at the
rate of six per cent only.
When it is considered that this
county has an average of $3.50, ,0OC
in warrant Indebtedness, the saving
made by the present auditor to the
taxpayers can be appreciated. Other
savings made in the operation and
maintenance of the auditors office
give Mr.. Keene justified glow of
satisfaction. And the county pays its
managers, handling millions of dol
lars worth of business, $125 pei

Good Game Yesterday on Pasco
Field - Return Game on
for Thanksgiving Day

Kennewick High school lost a heart
breaking game to Pasco Armlstlce
Day, 1914. Heartbreaking because
Kennewick almost won it in the last
quarter after slightly outplaying Pas
co during the last half. A strong wind
at times made some good breaks for
both teams, Hudnall making Kenne-
wick's first touchdown by carrying
over a punt that fell back Of the
Pasco kicker. It was impossible to
pass at all against the wind and pass
es were accurate and long with it.
Both teams resorted to passing to
make yardage and Pasco won because
it's defense against passes was bet
ter than Kennewick.
Kennewick's line played good both
on offensive and defensive, the only
yardage made through it being from
trick plays. Kennewick made good
yardage thru the line but always be.
hind in the score, and had to resort
more to open play.

SAY FLAT AUTO
FEES EXPENSIVE
State Officials Think that
Present Plan Best for
Highway Revenues

Based on actual receipts up to No
vember 1. experts in the state treas
urer's office figure that the state
highway will receive $S,000,000 from
motor vehicle licenses and gas taxes
this year-about $4,000 less than
$5,000,000 from tine licenses and just
about that much above $3,000,000
from the gax tax.
License Director C. r. Mayburry's
figures up to the first of the month
show 340,761 sets of plates had been
mailed out during eleven months of
the 1925 license period.
Taking these two sets of figures
together it is evident that the high
way fund is nearly $4,000 better
off this year than it you'd have
been if the proposed motor code with
its flat license fee of So and its g.
cent gas tax had been in force.
Comparisons are easy. under the $s
flat fee scheme the motor vehicle Ii.
censes would have brought in So.

and enterprising citizen. He still re-
tains his property here, the building
at the foot of Washington street oc-
cupied by the Pacific Power & Light
company, and the Masonic hall, and
his home on Beach street. 1t is with
deep regret we see the Reeds leave
town and they will be sadly missed
in church and social circls.

State Land Commissioner G. V. Saw

on which he collected more than $4o,

agricultural lands bringing the re-

raiser had surrender his lease new
farmer appeared Immediately to ask
for the land.
Mr.. Fine, an old timer in the dry

when very heavy snowfall was fol.

lasted until 1917. Snow has begun

DEALERS BACK
CITY'S WELFARE
Cooperation Of Businessmen
Contributes to Upbuild-
ing Of Community

The ambition of every merchant in
Kennewick is to make this town the
best along the line.
This may be selfish object on his
part but the fact remains that he can
prosper only if the city thrives, for it
is obvious that little money will be
passed over his counters by people
who have no money to spend.
No Kennewick merchant however,
depends on mere wishing to bring
prosperity to his town and to make
it grow When he argues for better
schools and improved streets, it is
not in the expectation that his share
is to be mere words while other pro-
perty owners foot the tax bills.
Every merchant in this town backs
up his confidence in this town in its
prosperity and the prosperity of
those in it and in it's future as ris-
ing members Of this splendid COM
monwealth. by his hard-earned dol.

BAD ROADS COST
MORE THAN GOOD
Engineer Says no Commune
ity can Afford Luxury /!
Of Bad Roads |

In a recent comment on highways
in this section Of the county, Pro-
fessor Fl. E. Phelps, Of the highway
engineering department. at the state
college, said:
"Good roads cost less than poor
ones. Not only so, but no community
is wealthy enough to enjoy the lux
ury of bad roads. Mud is more ex-
pensive than concrete, and a chuck
hole costs more than the pavement
required to fill it. Mud in winter
and dust in summer take their toll
of every passerby; they tax US for
new tires long before they are due;
they tax us for an army Of mechan-
les to repair the damage they do
our automobiles; they tax us to sup
port many factories necessary 20
produce the new cars required to re-
place the automobiles gone to a
premature grave thru their insidious
effects. Dust is dangerous to health
and at times to highway safety while
mud may prevent the doctor from
reaching the sick. Mud is responsible
for loneliness and poverty, for sick
ness and illiteracy, for waste of food
on the farms and for hunger in the
cities. No country is rirh enough
to pay its mud tax, which far over
shadows any possible good roads tax
required to abolish it.
Zone part of the mud tax is a gas
oline tax. That it costs less to propel
vehicle of any kind over a good
road than poor one is an elemental
truth. It is so self evident that any
one will admit it without argument
and then proceed to forget it, or ig-
more it Or act as if he never heard
of it. He admits the truth but is like
ly to resist it's application.
'sThe mud tax on gasoline can be
ignored, but it must be paid. If we
go we pay, and if we stay, we also
pay. Accurate and extensive tests
have shown that with gasoline at
24c a gallon, one gallon will give y

PLAN STARTED
Farmers by the Hundreds to
be Brought in to Settle
on Irrigated Tracts

"There's only one thing the matter
with this country said E. F. Ben
son, agricultural development agent
for the N. p. this week, sand that is
there aren't people enough here. This
would be q whizz of a place if all
the undeveloped land hereabouts was
under cultivation. That difficulty is
about to be remedied, if the plans
we now have under way work out"
Under Mr.. Benson's plan the rail-
roads are at work to colonize the
Three Rivers district, putting truck
farmers on the small five and ten
acre tracts thruout the five irriga-
tion projects nearby. AS a starter,
some seventy-five or q hundred fam
lies will be brought into the Kenne-
wick district this year, and then, as
the plans develop, whole colonies will
be located.
Settlement of the five irrigation
projects in the three counties, Ben
ton, Franklin and Walla Walla, CON-
prising the Kennewick project, Rich
land, Burbank and Alfalfa is the plan
that is being worked out by the rail
roads, the local cooperative market
ing agency and representatives from
each of the communities interested.
The first move toward accomplish
ing this end was taken at joint
meeting in Pasco Monday. The meet
ing was presided over by Mr.. Benson,
who has had the matter in hand for
months, and was attended by Lee NJ.

Lease from Jan. 1st

The postoffice is going to move
maybe.
The lease on the present quarters
expires the first of the year and the
postoffce department is calling for
bids for a term of years. The owners
of the Hover block own the fixtures
in the present office, furnish heat.
lights and water at a monthly rental
of $50. They do not care to take on
another five or ten years of it. So
the department IS asking other pro-
perty owners for bids.
Good daylight and reasonably
central location are important feat
ures to be considered, according to
the call for bids. which also contains
lot of other things that must be
furnished.
Proposals will be opened on the
28th and if more suitable location
is found the office will be moved the
first of the year.

Two Passengers also Lose
Lives in 5OO-foot Crash,
California Yesterday

Floyd r. Kelso, Kennewick aviator,
was killed yesterday in Paso Robles.
California, when his plane fell SOC
feet during an Armistice day cele-
bration. Two young men who were
riding with him were also instantly
killed in the fall, which was wit
messed by hundreds of people.
Mr.. Kelso was considered an un-
usually good flier, serving in the
army training camps as an instructor
during the later days of the war. He
was one of the first men in the state
to receive army training in this de-
partment. On his discharge from the
army he purchased a plane, making
Kennewick his headquarters, and
many local people have been his
passengers. He has been engaged in
commercial aviation since the war.
He leaves a wife and three children
A telegram tonight from Floyd's
father gives a slightly different ac-
count of the accident. According to
the telegram passengers foot
caught in the control wires when
starting in a nose dive from an al
titude of 1000 feet. The foot was sew
cred and the control stick bent double
in the effort to right the ship. M
