that the Republic, on the authority
of Regent j. M. Perry, is an elig-

THE number of people who are
= spending summer vacations in
little shacks and camps in pleas
ant resorts has become enormous.
The needs of their children have
much to do with it. 1t is recog-
nized that city and town streets
do not give boys and girls quite
enough scope.
Business men in many commun-
tiles feel the dullness created by
the absence of all these families
Yet, if they feel it hurts business
they can establish well supervised
Fairgrounds in their own commun
tiles, which will tend to keep chill
dren happy and out of mischie1
without going away from home.
The idea that children can b,
turned loose in the ordinary cit.
and town without some regula
occupation is hardly fitted for tn
times. There are too many chance
to get into trouble, too many au
tomobiles to run over them, an,
too many acquire loafing habits.

WE ARE this week publishing
W for the first time the delin-
qrent tax list for the year 1921.
The county will issue certificates
of delinquency on the various
tracts unless the taxes are paid
and title will pass to new owners.
The list is being published in both
ends of the county that the widest
possible publicity may be given the
sale. In many cases it is possible
the owners of the land are not a.
ware Of the delinquencies. The
county takes this means of noti-
fying them that they may keep
their property. 1t behooves every
property owner to make sure his
place is not on the list. Scan the
list carefully and remember that
the county would much rather the
present owner paid up the delin.
quencies than to pass the owner
ship to some one else.

HOME TOWN BARGAINS

THE folks who look over the
stores Of Kennewick at this
time of year must be impressed
by the many favorable opportun-
tiles to buy which are being Of
fered now. Our merchants are very
progressive folks, and they want
to reduce their summer stocks as
far as possible to start in with
fresh goods for the fall trade.
The result is that an enormous
quantity of merchandise is being
offered at low prices. It is fav-
orable time to buy. People living
outside the city should take an al
ternoon off and come in and look
at these stocks. They will be amp
~ repaid, and will save enough in
the bargains they can obtain to
pay for their time and expenses.

4 BOUT a month ago we dropped
: = around to talk advertising with
one of Kennewick's new and thriv-
ing business firms. We hadn't got
very far with our little piece whep
it developed that advertising was
MT regarded favorably by the pro-
prietor. II don't take no stock in
it," he said, absolutely useless"
Well by making use of the elo-
quent vocabulary we possess and
suinmoning all the strength of our
inspiring personality we persuaded
him to try small ad for just
one month. At the end of that time
unless he could notice some results
the ad was to be withdrawn. Well,
he's still with us, and what's more
he'll be with US every week for the
next twelve months.

HIGHWAY engineers have fig
- ures prepared WHICH show that
considerable sums of money may
be spent building new roads to
eliminate distance, curves and
grades, depending, of course, on
the amount of traffic involved. By
that we mean that ultimately the
saving in maintenance, time and
operation Of vehicles over the new
er roads will more than pay for
the cost of construction.
Several times we have made the
tortuous trip to the upriver towns
and have wondered why road was
not run from Richland north thru
the Vale district instead of across
the two bridges and winding q
mong the sand hills near the Horn.
There would be a big saving in
distance, save the necessity Of
building the expensive bridges and
give better service to a much
larger population.
Should the north and south high
way thru the state come thrusthis
county, such a road would be an
absolute necessity.s No military
road would ever be permitted owe,
the present route. This paper
would like to go on record as be
ing greatly in favor of changing
this road to the upriver country
Possibly little agitation with thu
county commissioners would hav'
some effect toward securing thi
improvement.

THE regents of the University of

TyHE regents of the University OF
= Washington have named M.
Lyle Spencer, former dean of the
School of Journalism at the insti-
tuition, president, succeeding DR..
Henry Suzzallo, removed last Oc-
tober. DR.. Spencer takes charge
September 1, at salary of $12,-
900 year. At the same time the
regents gave Fred w. Kennedy,
practical printer of the school of
journalism, a new contract as di-
rector of the journalism labora-
tories.
This appointment resulted in a
story being broadcasted that Ken
needy had been named head of the
college. "Pa" Kennedy has been
with the school for great many
years and is one of the best be-
loved men in the journalism course
on the campus. He has been teach
ing the youngsters something a.
bout the trials and tribulations of
the printer and the country editor.
Kennedy is not a holder of any col
lege degrees but he has been a
printers devil and has graduated
through the country newspaper
school of experience, which in it
self is an unusually valuable as
set, the students under him have
found.
This is the first time in the his
tory of the state that newspaper
man has ever been elected to the
presidency of one Of the institu-
tions of higher learning, as there
are very, very few newspapermen
in the West who have the long
string of degrees that DR.. Spen-
Ger sports.

SCHOOLS MAY KEEP
 WITHIN ALLOWANCE
Expect to Finish Year Without
 Exceeding Appropriation

Entering the last quarter of the fiscal year this week, the school de- partment expects to complete the term without exceeding its appro- priation, President Patrick F. King of the school committee an- nounces.
 The appropriation for educational purposes is almost as great as that for all other branches of the city government and because of the null tiple agencies to be supported 1t has been found difficult in the past to budget all and avoid an overdraft. Mir. King and his colleagues have been able to keep within monthly allowances so far and unless unfore- seen emergencies appear no defi- ciency appropriation will be requir- ed, the school committee head as- serts.
 Because of the amount required to keep traffic open in last months storms the funds of the board Of public works have been drawn upon heavily and an overdraft now seems certainty.

in prospect. The controversy over open championship dates, resulting from the fixing of both the British and American title events for the week of June 20, has been settled with a change on both sides of the Atlantic. The American fixture has been moved ahead to June IA, 15 and 16, while the British champion ship has been set back to the week beginning July II.
 The truce brought no change in the plans of Bobby Jones, however The winner of both titles last year reiterated his intention to remain on this side of the Atlantic next sum- mer, thus passing up an opportunity to defend the British championship.
 The compromise opens the way, however, to an invasion of this country by team of British profes- sionals, which will oppose an Ameri- can contingent for possession of the International Ryder trophy. The cup was won last year by British pros in series of matches abroad.

SMALL BETTING TAX
Unless There is an Increase in Wagering For Next Few Months Estimates Will Be Low.

London, Jan. LP-The smallness of the receipts from the betting tax will make the chancellor of the exchequers estimate of f6,000,00O (about $50, 0,o00) for a full year unrealizable unless there is an in- crease in wagering during the com- ing months. The receipts for No vember were f156.00O, it is disclosed.
 Publication of the figures has given fresh impetus to the cam paign against the tax, which is be- ing energetically pursued by the Betting Duty Reform association" which held its first meeting in Man. chester The meeting condemned the tax as being seriously injurious to racing and horse breeding.
 It was asserted that the livelihood of thousands engaged in great na- tional industry is in jeopardy and that the betting tax clauses of the budget were passed during a period of national distress, without ade- quate consideration.
 The association has ascertained that boollmakers on their register have given notice of surrender or have already surrendered 360 private and .240 ordinary telephones and dismissed PAT employees.
