HOLD POWER RATE
HEARING IN February

Objections to points stated in the
opinion of the state department Of
public works issued December 81, re.
ducing the rate making valuation Of
the Pacific Power & Light company
$1,l37,224, will be presented to the
commission during the rate making
hearing to be held between Febru-
airy l and S.
The rate advisory committee, com.
posed of ]. M. Perry of Yakima. R
c. McCredie Of Sunnyside, H. War.
den of Pasco and ]. G. Kelly oil
Walla Walla, met in Pasco one day
last week in consultation with attor.
neys and engineers working with
the Yakima valley Walla Walla mu.
inequalities for a. lower rate.
The points in the opinion which
will be objected to were outlined
The members decided to continue
the fight for lower rates and be-
lieve that statistics and information
regarding the company's returns
have been SO compiled and organized
that cut in rates can be obtained
through ruling of the commission
From the accountants statistics
which we have there is no doubt that
the company has misrepresented its
returns and misappropriated its de-
probation allowances" Mr.. Perry
said. Gall these figures will be pre-
sented during the hearing"
Company officials contend that
during the fiscal year on the orig
inal valuation the company earned :
per cent. The state board held that
the plants returned 7.66 per cent ir
addition to 3.5 per cent for dcprecia-
ton or total return of over II per
cent. The company, by law, is en-
titled to return of 8 per cent on its
rate valuation.
"The committee was of the opin-
ion that the results gained by the re-
duction in valuation are entirely sat
isfactory even if no more definite re-
suits are obtained" Mr.. Perry said
"The members believed that the mum
icipalities have accomplished a great
deal and have stopped further efforts
of the Company in securing an ad-
vance in rates.
Undoubtedly if the company had
appeared before the rate making COM
mission this year to ask for higher
rates without this controversy having
come up the commission would have
granted its request. The prepared
statements and figures presented to
the commission by the municipalities
can put stop to any advance even
though reduction in rates is not
granted"
Mr.. Perry said the Walla Walla
delegation present during the meet
ing as enthusiastic about
the progress of the fight. All of
them signified their desire to 60 the
limit in securing lower rates and be-
heved that with the first victory
scored with the reduction in va!ua-
ton another was assured.
The rate hearing, during which
further facts will be presented by
the cities, will add little additional
cost, Mr.. Perry believed.
The cost to date, pro rated among
the several communities, has reached
a total of $4,000. The rate hearing
will come soon after the 30-day time
limit after the appointment the an
nouncement of the commission's
opinion.
No place has been set for the
hearing although it will probably be
held, in Walla Walla with sessions in
Yakima and the other communities.

The bill for funds to reimburse
those who brought suit against the
Pacific Power & Light company for
lower rates, failed in the legislature,
according to Senator d. ". Morthland.
The communities involved had asked
for the; reimbursement on the ground
that the lower valuation of the power
company property they had contended
for had been sustained by the De-
partment of Public works.

French Bachelor Pays
Super-Tax on Incoma

AS an instance of the effect of the
new taxation on large income just
voted by the French parliament the
newspaper lie Temps" mentions
what will happen this year to bach
elor earning more than $4,000 francs.
According to the statement published
by lie Temps" and transmitted to
the Bankers Trust Company by its
French information service, a person
in this position would, irrespective OF
what he has to pay in the way of
regular taxes on the amount of $50,
900 francs, be liable for various
assessments on the surplus such as
general income tax plus the double
decline on extra 20 per cent on all
direct taxes, super-tax as a bachelor
and the schedule tax on earnings.
These assessments absorb 97.2 per
cent of the income above $4,000
francs and the new civic tax takes
another per cent. Assuming the
total income to be 100000 francs
there will be left to him out of the
last 100000 francs exactly 800 francs
lie Temps" asks what people in
America would say if citizen were
to all intents and purposes forbidden
by law to earn more than $4,000 a
year.

MONTBSANO.-Intimating that the
recent removal Of Prof. w. A. Link
later as manager of the Western
Washington experiment station in
Puyallup was brought about, at least
in part, by his opposition to the con-
troll Of county fairs by the "pari mu-
tuel horse racing gambling interests
resolution has been adopted by
Grays Harbor Pomona Grange No. %,
deploring the action and demanding
that the station be no longer used as
"a football for scheming politicians"
To Be Circulated.
The resolution, signed by John H.
Taylor and G. B. Sherwood as commit
teemen, will be circulated at once
throughout the oranges of the state.
Whereas" the resolution read,
the Western Washington experiment
station is an institution highly es-
teemed by the farmer and in the past
by the development of the dairy, poul-
try and agricultural industries to a
degree not equaled by another station
in the United States, has been a
source of profit and pride to us, and
Whereas, this development has
taken place during the last thirteen
years under the efficient management
of, Prof. W. A. Yinklater, who has
been so summarily removed by the or
der Of President Holland of the State
College, and
Cripple Efficiency.
. Whereas, there is grave fear that
this, in connection with the suspen-
sion Of the station bulletins, is but the
beginning of steps to reduce his sta
ton to very inferior position and
thus cripple it's efficiency in the name
of economy, and
Whereas, we have reason to sur
mise that Professor Linklater as man
ager of the Western Washington Fair,
in his opposition to the pari mutuel
horse racing gambling control Of all
agricultural fairs in the state engen.
dered the enmity of some of the poll
| ticians beyond the control of Presi-
dent Holland, which, to some extent,
was factor in the removal of Pro
fessor Linklate, and,
DepIore Action.
Whereas, the State College and it's
experiment stations are designated to
benefit the agricultural interests of
this state and not to be used as a
football for scheming politicians
either on it's board of regents or other
wise, now,
"Be it resolved by the Grays Har-
Dor Pomona Grange in session assem-
bled that we deplore the action of
President Holland and it's inference
] in summarily removing Professor
| Linklater and demand that our State
College and it's experiment station be
placed in position above reproach by
a house cleaning in control, if neces-
sary."

 Mrs. Parker admitted in her tes- timony that she had serious doubts that she and Mrs. Black had arrest ed the right person. but that she decided to hold on to Mrs Marx" anyway.
 A considerable amount of charac- ter testimony and evidence to the effect that the two accused officers always had been very decent to prisoners even under the most try ing circumstance" was offered by the defense.
