Mr.. Moulton has been criticized for his opposition
to the governor. Examination Of his record shows
that such opposition has been based entirely upon the
governors efforts to control the legislature and upon
his abuse of individual members. On the other hand
the record shows that he has consistently sup
ported the most important measures recommended
by the governor particularly those having anything to
do with taxation. He has not opposed, but will sup
port the governors recommendations concerning tim
Der. His only opposition to the governors recon
mendations were upon the Kitttas reclamation bill,
and in part upon education.
This is an agricultural county Mr.. Moulton has
supported and voted for all measures sponsored by
the Grange and other agricultural interests commenc
ing with the Farm Marketing bill in the 1921 session
and continuing thruout the 1925 special session The
fact that the Grange has been satisfied with his record
is proven by their unqualified approval puDlsned IN
their official organ, The Grange News.
Because of Mr. Moultons friendly relationship
with the members of the legislature, resulting from
many years of close association and because OF ms
legislative experience and connections throughout the
state he has been able and will continue to accomplish
far more for Benton County than has been accom-
pished for many other counties having larger rep
resentation Three sessions of the Legislature nave
brought Mr. Moulton to his present position OF lnIu
ence and usefulness which cannot be attained oy any
new man except thru long period OF Time ana SLOW

Everett, WASH, 1O-1S-26
Editor of Courier-Reporter:
A few weeks ago, I heard Mr..
Mark Moulton give his views on
changes in our taxation system in
this state. His main thought was
to carry out the suggestion which
Gov. Hartley made in one of his
messages to the legislature, in
which ne advocated the passage
of bill by the legislature submit
ting to the voters of the state, a
constitutional amendment which
would allow the classification of
all property in the state for taxa
ton purposes. Under our present
constitution classification for taxa
ton purposes is not allowed, and
the result is that the owners of
land and Of visible personal pro-
perty bear a heavier burden of
taxation than they should. Perhaps
it is not generally known that this
state is behind the times in this
taxation matter. 1t is one of two
states that has an out-of-date pro-
vision regarding taxation. We
should get in line with the forty
six progressive states and then we
can get real relief from the tax
burden and our state will develop
more rapidly and attract outside
investors. We have the natural
resources; we have very rich
state; but we must get at the
foundation of the trouble. Stud
ents of taxation have realized for
some time the weak spot in our
taxation system.
I am glad that Rep. Moulton
is so strongly in favor of this
change, and / know there are
many who heard his talk in Ev-
erett who agree with him. hope
the people of your district will
send him back to Olympia so that
he will have chance to help get
this progressive legislation on the
statute books, and the fact that
hundreds of your citizens over
there have petitioned Mr.. Moulton
to run would indicate to my mind
that they fully appreciate the fact

LETTERS OF THE PEOPLE


Dear Editor:
read with interest your COM
ments about the proposed new
county agent, and rise to give
three real, rousing cheers. Yes,
Brother Editor, that is what we
have needed for several years.
a practical, hayseed, irrigation
farm agent. Chemistry, physics,
economics, biology with smatter-
ing of relatively and pedagogy, if
you please, make fine foundation
but, get a man who has almost
forgotten these things and has
learned to apply the lessons taught
in the school of experience, tenn
pered and refined by these scienc-
es. A man who has the knack of
conveying his knowledge to others
and the faculty Of convincing his
people that his methods will work.
Let him have all the degrees, hon
orary or scholastic, in the curri-
culum if they will benefit him but
for the love of Mike don't give
us an educated boy to raise. I'm
load him here ready equipped and
able to help us with our problems
from "Pip" to scored cylinders.
And pray, make him responsible
to the people of Benton county,
and to US alone, that in the course
of a week or year he need not
spend more than half of his time
writing up what he has done for
the benefit of useless Guy higher
up.
A year or two ago some of us
were obsessed with the idea that
beneficent people would endeavor
to make partial restitution for the
sad losses that agriculture has
sustained by giving us some much
needed and just "class legislation"
But, alas! we have watched the
deep consideration we have been
accorded by "Silent Cal" and his
retinue II call the Associated Press
and sundry publications of ma
tional prominence to witness) and
we have wept anew with the de-
mise of each successive "Agricul-
tural Bill With them died the
hopes of new era for agriculture
and we dolefully fall back to the
conviction that. after all, we must
buck the line alone. It is up to us
as individuals to cooperate all we
possibly can, but first and formost
to do our own farming and do it
as efficiently and cheaply as pos
sible. Only a farmer who produces
big crops cheaply and efficiently
can have a chance to survive. And
this presents our biggest local
problem. Soil fertility.
Our soil is our main asset-the
National Bank of our profession.
And most farmers are ignorantly
or maliciously robbing it. They
overlook the fact that, unlike the
great prairies of the corn belt,
Nature did not bless us with a
stock of virgin fertility, ripe and
fruitful unto the harvest; but ra-
Their, gave us the arch without the

Dear Sir:
Read two published letters on
the Kennewick fair.
If the farmers, as a whole, had
put in as much time and labor
bringing in displays, as four or five
of the fair committee put in gratis,
trying to make a success Of the
fair, we would sure of had some
fair this year of 1926.
The committee deserves COM
mendation and recommendation.
Short but huff sed!

The outstanding demand of Benton County upon
it's representative is Improvement of its highways Mr.
Mouton helped to secure the passage of law which
authorized the state to maintain the highway thru
cities and towns of the third and fourth class AS
illustration of the value of this law the little town of
Richland has already saved in one year to its tax
payers the sum of approximately two thousand dol
lars Mr. .Moulton aided in repeating the mill and
half tax levy on property in Benton County for the
permanent highway fund and secured apportion-
ment the gas tax and license money equal to the
amount formerly raised by the tax levy About two
years ago representatives from all parts Of Benton
County agreed that the road program for Benton
County should be paving from Kennewick to Richland
to be followed Immediately by paving from Grandview
to Prosser and the placing of the north and south
highway from Vantage Ferry through White Bluffs
Hanfofd, Richland and Kennewick to Maryhil on the
primary map. Through his efforts Mr.. Mouton has
secured the appropriation and completion of the Ken
newick Richand paving and he stands pledged to
securing the paving at Prosser and the placing of the
north and south road on the state highway system.
The foregoing are few of the MANY reasons
why you should return Mr. Moulton to the legislature

Since all the property owners liv- ing in the vicinity of Andrews street from kensington avenue to the angle are in favor of the proposal of the board of public works to change the grading of the street this matter will be taken up during the next fiscal year. A hearing was held in the board office at short meet ing last night.
 Tn an informal discussion of the budget, it was decided that since the permanent pavement account was cut from $123,000 to $50, 900 that the program laid out for South Main street must be held up another year. During the discussion Commissioner Olson declared that in his belief the West Main street highway, though in a rather uneven condition, could be held up another year. He favored going ahead with the South Main street plan which he said was in q disgraceful condition.
