drawn for expenses of the auditors
office, are involved. The checks in

ginning of Gov. Cores administration.
At the outset Of the hearing Bonds
attorneys moved to quash the pro-
ceedings. contending they were un-
constitutional and that Gov. Gore was
without authority to conduct the hear
ing. The motion was overruled when
Attorney General Lee presented a Su-
preme Court decision upholding the
constitutionality of the law under
which the hearing was ordered.
The auditor then filed a formal de
nial of all the charges and taking Of
testimony was started.
At the conclusion Of the five-hour
hearing today Gov. Gore dismissed
two of the A specifications against
the auditor, after Attorney General
Lee had expressed satisfaction that
several checks aggregating $500 had
been issued to persons who rendered
adequate service to the State

not be admitted to Stephenson's cell.
He also said the State Senators would
not be given an audience unless the
governor gave permission.
Mr.. Adams also made public a state
ment declaring that "the most des-
perate, underhand methods are being
resorted to" in an effort to thwart the
committees work. He

dragons former lieutenants. In the
letter Stephenson declared he was

THE RIGHT ATTITUDE

A correspondent to the Courier-Re-
"A porter makes the following inter
esting observations on the desirable
ity of making community attrac-
tive to tourists:
.Next to the natural recreational
attractions of Kennewick, there is
more than the exhibition of a friend
nothing which pleases the visitor
" and hospitable attitude by the
residents.
cit is necessary for us to press
everlastingly for the preservation and
expansion of the attractiveness CT
our cities, towns and villages, the
Identification Of our highways, an
increase in our recreational areas,
less despoilation Of natural scenery
for with these aesthetic elements
gone, we have little to offer visitors
seeking summer recreation and re-
creation"
Those are sound suggestions for
any one to read and take to heart
and, as matter of publicity, they do
no harm at all, letting people know
the ideal toward which we are work
ing as we appeal for the patronage
of summer tourists.

TWO CENTS A MILE

MANY potent reasons have beer
AZ given as justification for spend.
ing money for good roads, saving
time and comfort, bringing the farm.
er nearer his market, getting the
city man into the country, promot-
ing social intercourse and travel, en-.
HANGING land values, etc. Here is one
often ignored, submitted by an All.
tomobile manufacturer.
The average cost of operating ar
automobile, he says, is 10 cents a
mile. Improved roads could bring
this down to eight cents mile, as
a result of the saving on tires, gas
oline, oil, repairs and life of the car
Estimating the number of automo.
biles in operation at only 100000
which is low figure, and their av-
erage mileage at 1000 miles a year,
which is low, he finds the saving Of
two cents mile would amount to
$1,000, 100000 year.
That sum would pay for lot Of
roadbuilding.

uNATTRACTIvE PAPERS

TN AN Associated Press dispatch
L from Moscow under date of Feb
ruary 5, Leon Trotsky, in speech
comparing Russian and American
newspapers is quoted as saying to an
audience of Russian workers:
at is scarcely possible to find any
thing less attractive than the con-
tents of the average American news
paper. But American editors have
the faculty Of giving their readers
just what they desire"
Yes, and they will continue to do
so, and also give the American people
their best editorial opinion, on mat
tiers which would not please the Boil
shevist leader. Naturally American
newspapers are unattractive to Mr..
Trotsky, for he has no power to
muzzle them and control their COM
ment, as he has in Russia.
America is the nation it is today
because it has 10000 publications for
100000 people and everybody can
read. Bolshevist dictators cannot ex-
list in such nation because there is
no chance to fool millions of unin-
formed persons.
The quickest way to bring perma-
nent stability to Russia, would be
to ship in lot Of good American
printing presses and American edi-
tors and let them discuss conditions
as they found them, unhampered by
the crushing hand of Bolshevik Of
ficials.
Naturally, these would be ''unat-
tractive" papers to Mr.. Trotsky be-
cause everyone that was printed
would shorten the reign of terror,
and hasten the day of peace, plenty
and education for the Russian people.
Let America be thankful that it
has thousands of newspapers that
are extremely unattractive to Mr..
Trotsky and his supporters.

Dear Editor: We came to Havana
via Miami and Key West. The men
in Key West fish, catch turtles and
gather sponge and prepare their pro-
ducts for market. The women work
the tobacco and where they rear chill
dren they have milk goats in the
yard and the little "cubs" extracts
milk at his leisure. This is no joke
but actual fact. The Cuban is very
fond Of a person from the U. S., even
the Spaniard in Cuba thinks the U.
S. was Cubas savior.
Havana has mostly narrow streets
and one way traffic. The people are
very slow in action, a railroad car is
usually eight hours behind schedule
and they never try to catch up nor
set it back. A person can live well
in HAVANA if he will do his own
cooking. Vegetables are cheap but
not first class produce. Today the
sun is very oppressive. We get the
wireless reports, and one read snow
10 inches deep in New. York City.
