TAX EXEMPTIONS

TINE delinquent tax list in Benton
L county is larger this year than
it has been for many years. The
same report is coming from county
seats in all parts of the country; so
naturally taxation is an all import
ant subject of this day.
Legislatures from coast to coast
have been attempting to deal with 1T,
because it is universally recognized
that something is out of adjustment.
The cause for this is partially due
to the heavy expenditures of state
and local governments. But not en-
tirely. The increase in public owner
ship of utilities and the continual in
crease in the amount of tax free Sc
curities are contributing factors too.
A study of this situation was made
in California. And after careful in
vestipation. the California Grange
and State Farmers Union addressed
an open letter to the state legislature.
In this letter it was pointed out
that if publicly owned utilities were
not tax free, several million dollars
would have been added to the re-
ceipts of the state treasury from
this source. But that since munich
pally owned railways, water plants,
power utilities and so forth paid TO
taxes, a large burden necessarily fell
upon the property owners In the
small towns and rural communities.
In other words the farmers Of Cal
ifornia feel that the growth of pub
lie ownership of public utilities thru
the present system of issuing tax
free securities is adding more weight
to the tremendous burden already
carried by the rural tax payer. They
do not take sides on the abstract
question of the right of public own
ership. They merely make plea to
have all property urban and rural
stand its share of the states tax load.
When thru any system, we relieve
any large amount of property from
taxation; we automatically increase
the load on other property. The pres
ent system of issuing tax free Sc
curities of all kinds is, therefore,
economically unsound and decidedly
unjust to farmers and residents of
small towns.

new industry in the form of a drop
forging plant.
This, of course, did not include all
the good effects of the survey. AT
ter facts on market conditions Were
accumulated, data concerning trans
portation and credit facilities gath
cred, and complete knowledge of
the local labor supply gained, the
business men who were out to build
up the town had fine accumulation
of information to present to prospec-
tive manufacturers.
This method in seeking to get out
side capital interested in the COM
munity proved to be immensely more
profitable and beneficial than mere
idle talk about boosting the town.
Of course the editor does not i'm.
ply that we do not need boosters in
Kennewick. No plan for building up
the community can get very far with
out the united backing of the people
intelligent boosters.

MAKE THEM ENGINEERS

before man can become a loco
motive engineer he must go thru
long period of training. He must
fire for several years, thoroly acquaint
himself with the machinery he is des-
tined to handle, and show that he is
physically sound and capable of think
ing in moments of emergency.
But while the railroad locomotive
is massive machine carrying hum
dreds of people across the country
day and night, it is after all steared
by its rails-the engineers job in
some ways is not as exacting as that
of the automobile driver.
So in view of this and the fact that
$4,000 people lost their lives in auto
mobile accidents during the past year
it seems that greater care should be
taken in training car drivers. 1t
should be recognized that a tremen-
dous responsibility rests upon the
driver of the car. For he or she is
in fact an engineer-handling a pow
erful motor and guiding a small train
on its way across the country. Unless
he is properly trained for his job,
the lives of people riding with him
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1925-05-21

and the lives of other motorists and
even pedestrians are at stake.
1t is not easy to sit down and fig
ure out on paper solution to the
problem created in this country by
the automobile. But figures are so
startling and appalling, that we feel
that something should be done. Driv-
ers must be impressed with the full
nature Of their responsibilities. Reck-
less driving should not be regarded
as subject for joke.
1t is a serious problem, and unless
the terrible toll in lives is reduced
within the very near future, We will
not be surprised if an aroused public
sentiment will force the enactment
of some system of licensing drivers.
People who oppose such drastic
step, should exercise great care them
selves in driving and should do ev-
erything within their power to edu-
cate others up to the full seriousness
of the situation.

OUR OPPORTUNITY

WE believe in boosting. The edi-
w tor is of the opinion that boosting
is merely the expression of the 10y
atty of the citizens of the communi-
ty. But boosting, too often mere
boasting, can accomplish little with
out intelligent direction.
In addition to boosters Kennewick
needs thinkers-men who are ready
to do little brain work to help the
growth and development of the COM
munity along scientific lines.
GAS a first step in getting industry
into a town." says a man who has
spent his life dealing in industrial
property, II suggest an industrial
survey of the community. This sur
very should be broad-it should first
accumulate all the facts about indus
try already operating in the commun-
ity-then it should study into all the
factors that make the community ar
ideal location for one kind of manu-
featuring and bad for another. And
above all no attempt should be made
to secure the location of a factory
that is doomed by unfavorable loca-
ton to failure. For it is better to
have no new industry than industry
that is bound to fail.
Such survey was once made In
community where there were
number of machine shops. And the
job was far from complete before
results were attained. It was found
that many machine shops were buy
ing forgings from outside the city.
A study showed that there was suf-
ficient local market to make drop
forging plant successful right in the
town itself.
So a careful study of all conditions
was made, and before many months
had passed the town could boast of a
