GROWTH SHOWN
BANK REPORT
County Makes Satisfactory
Liquidation Years Work
Elect Directors

Financial affairs of the Kennewick
community are in very good condition
according to reports made at the an
nual meeting of the directors of the
First National Bank, which was held
Tuesday night of this week.
Owing to the closing Of the banks
of Pasco and the American Security
bank the deposits are somewhat low
er than they should be, in the opinion
of President L. E. Johnson, but on
the other hand there has been a very
satisfactory liquidation of accounts.
This is true of both the wheat coun-
try and the valley districts. The wheat
growers especially, have made sat
isfactory showing on their years
work. In the fruit sections, owing to
the fact that much of the apple crop
remains unsold, the figures, as yet,
do not show up quite so well.
Officers and directors elected for
the ensuing year are: President l..
E. Johnson; first vice-pres., T. M.
Fine; second vice-pres., R. E. Pratt;
E. C. Tweet, cashier; Jay Bliss, as
sistant cashier; and the following di-
rectors: M. M. Moulton, A. j. Morri-
son; A. f. Brown and H. r. Vibber.
The latter being a new member add
ed to the board this year.

NO STATEMENT
SAYS MOJTLTON
Full Report Now Being
Prepared - Willing to
Stand on Record

In another column of this issue ap-
pears a statement from Representa-
tive E. A. Sims, leader of the minor
ity forces in the legislature, which
supported Governor Hartley's rec
concentrations during the recent ses-
sion. The article is directed against
Representative M. M. Moulton from
Benton county, who was one of the
majority leaders, and opposed to the
governors policies.
Pressed for statement in reply
to the communication, which was also
printed in yesterdays dailies, Mr..
Moulton authorized the following:
81 have no statement to make. Be-
fore leaving Olympia, the majority
members of the house delegated to
a committee, of which / am a men,
Der, the task of covering in formal
statement the various circumstances
which have led up to the present dis
agreement. My original statement
was only on my own behalf and not
on behalf of the majority. Any reply
1 might make personally to the COM
munication from Mr.. Sims must Of
necessity be merged in the committee
statement which will deal with the
whole subject in detail"
Mr.. Moulton stated that he was
willing to stand by the records of the
house and was convinced that the ma
jority was absolutely right in their
actions and was opposed to the rev.
olutionary and destructive program
as outlined by Governor Hartley. He
further asked that people, especially
local residents, be not too quick, to
pass judgment upon the matter; that
they wait until both sides of the con-
troversy had been given out.

the executive was in possession of all
the information furnished by all the
institutions, supplemented by person
al visitation, and from the further
TACT that in preparing the executive
budget more real study was made
than has ever been given preceding
a legislative session. Mr.. Moulton ap-
parently would have the general pub
lie believe that the house majority,
whose membership in the main had
given no thot whatever to the needs
of these institutions, were better
qualified to deal with them than was
the governor with all the information

BRITISHERS Q. K.
LOCAL APPLES
Spray on Kennewick Fruit
not Dangerous Decides
English Police Court

Britishers, may eat American ap-
pies without fear of spray poisoning
according to the findings of the trial
in the Mary Leborne police court in
London, concerning the charges that
London merchants were selling JON
athan apples carrying sufficient pois-
on to endanger the consumers.
This information was received by 1.
L. Plette, manager of the Yakima
Valley Traffic & Credit association,
in message from Edwin Smith of
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture, who is stationed in London.
Mr.. Smiths message shows the find
ings of the court to be fair to Amer
lean exporters, but the picturesque
writings of London reporters con-
cerning the details of apple culture
are calculated to leave an impression
that English colonial and homegrown
fruit is far safer.
One ambitious young man pictures
the Jonathan as "the pride Of the
Western apple growers" and claims
for it the prestige Of being the orig
inal variety presented by Eve to
Adam. His description as to how the
alleged quantity of spray poison came
to remain on the fruit is of interest.
"In previous years God has blessed
the Kennewick valley with an abund-
ance of rain at the time best calcu-
lated to wash away this residue.
The reporter then goes on to eluci-
date that the Rain Gods failed to
function the past season at the psy-
Geological time, hence the undue
quantity of spray remaining on the
fruit.
The writer intimates strongly that
the colonial and homegrown product
while not perhaps superior in quality
was at least safer for the consumer.
Several interesting points were
brot out in the findings of the court,
chief of which was that person
would have to eat from four to SIX
pounds of apples day to even con-
sumo medicinal dose. It was shown
that no danger existed if the fruit
were peeled or cooked that it is diff
ficult to distinguish between sickness
caused by arsenic and certain bowel
disturbances.
Arsenic is present in certain sea
foods in greater quantity than on
sprayed apples, it was shown, and
that there is no more danger in eat
ing American apples than English or
colonial apples on account Of climatic
and spraying differences.
It was also brot out that in the
mast 80 years the United States had
PRODUCED 9OO,O00,OOO barrels of ap-
ples without a case Of sickness be,
fore and that 100000 barrels had
been produced this year with no ad-
verse reports in the United States.
The cases were dismissed with the de-
PENDANTS paying the costs.
