Rolly Lytell and Jack Keeling
are in Jail on liqour chargese pre-

went as republican committeewo-

Seattle she attended the big ban
quet given for Senator Wesley L.
Jones, which was attended by
committeewomen from all parts of
the state. Other meetings of a
political nature gave Mrs. Rodgers
an insight into the activities of
the women of the state in this
campaign.
While in Seattle Mrs. Rodgers
personally selected the late fall
models in coats and dresses, bring
ing some of her purchases home
with her. She says that on account
of the garment workers strike in
the east that coats especially will
be hard to obtain this year. On
her return she stopped at Grand

COUNTY WANTS
GOOD AGENT
Item is Included in The
Budget Next Year for
a Farm Advisor

Included in the budget at the
last meeting of the board was an
item for the establishment of
the work of a county agriculturist.
The amount allowed was four
thousands dollars. This work was
conducted for several years but
was discontinued some two or
three years ago. There has been
a continuous demand for it from
some localities ever since and this
year representations were made
by the Pomona grange and the
various commercial clubs with the
result that provision was made for
it in the budget adopted last week.
Nothing has SO far been done to-
ward determining the man who is
to be selected for the work but
the intention is to get a man who
is conversant with the needs of
an irrigated district and who will
be a real help to the farmers Of
the county, the idea being that a
practical man who can bring some
thing to us is needed rather than
an inexperienced theorist who
would seek to perfect his educa-
tion thru the experience of the
farmrs.

ORGANIZE FOR

Ask for More EQUAL
Tax Distribution

c. C. Williams, H. G.. Fyfe and
VIM. Hodge are the three Kenne-
wick members of the newly form
ed Benton County Central Com
mittee of the Washington Tax
Equalization Council. The organ
ization meeting was held in Ken
newick last Thursday and besides
the local men the committee con-
sists of representatives from Pros
ser, Benton City, White Bluffs and
Hanford.
The Washington Tax Equaliza-
tion Council was organized for the
purpose Of undertaking to bring
about reform in the taxation sys-
tenn of this state. The organiza-
tions interested in the movement
are: Washington Educational as
sociation, u. of w. Alumni asso-
citation, w. S. C. Alumni, Farmers
Union, Farm Bureau Federation,
Agricultural Council, Tax. Limit
League, Realty Boards, Title As
sociation and the State Grange.
The groups composing the new
organization recognize that there
are two distinct schools of thought
with regard to tax reform, one
school seeking reform only thru
economy of expenditure, and the
other, while stressing economy,
realizing that no great tax re-
duction can possibly come thru
economy alone, but that the real
solution must come thru a. more
equitable distribution of the tax
burden. Those who have organized
the Washington Tax Equalization
Council are of the latter group.
The Benton county committee
is made up Of representatives OF
the various organizations in the
council and the purpose OF the
county committee is to secure the
cooperation of the legislators from
this county in securing tax reform
at the next session Of the legisla-
ture.
