Washington Street

Poor old Washington street! It
has been walked over, driven over,
bumped over. cussed, pointed out
as living example of bad city
management berated, Condemned,
and Lord knows what all, and here
comes the final blow-it hasn't
been paid for yeti
On page nine of this issue we
are publishing City Ordinance No.
269 providing for a re-assessment
of all real property located in Loc-
al Improvement District No. 16 of
the City of Kennewick. The dis
trict was formed to provide money
with which to pave Washington
St., and the re-assessments is nec-
essary because all the property of
the district didn't kick thru with
their pro rata.
A short time ago w. d. Perkins,
the purchaser of the LID. No. 16
bonds, brought suit in the superior
court to compel the city to re-as-
sess this district in order to pro-
vide money with which to retire
the remainder of the outstanding
bonds. His suit was confirmed and
an order compelling the city to
proceed with the re-assessing, is
sued. The balance necessary to pay
outstanding bonds, interest, and
costs, Mr.. Holcomb, the city at
torney, informs us, is approximate
ly $500.

TABERNACLE
COMING HERE
Laymen Secure Evangel-
list to Work in Valley
Start January 1st

Tuesday night, an enthusiastic
meeting of the Yakima Valley Lay
men was held and an organization
perfected for the coming evangel-
istic campaign which is to begin
Sunday, January 1st, New Years
day. The portable tabernacle which
has been used successfully at Sum-
nyside and Prosser, will be moved
to Kennewick and set up within
the next three weeks. Through the
generosity of interested property
owners, site has been secured
Jest west of the Kennewick hotel.
The Layman's Association is ac-
tive in the towns of the Yakima
valley, embracing the territory ali
the way from Gle Elum to Kenne-
wick. 1t has for its object the link
ing of these towns together in
permanent, evangelistic effort. un-
der the most economical admins
tration. The evangelist and assist
ants are engaged on salary basis
and will be busy at least nine
months out of the year. A cam
paign of this magnitude, would or
dinarily cost $30O0.00 to 100000
but under the method adopted by
the laymen of the valley, its cost
can be reduced to $1,000 to $1,000,
depending upon the length OF time
the campaign is continued.
At last nights meeting the fol
lowing men were chosen to head

3-RIVERS IN
ANNUAL MEET
Reports Favorable on Sea.
sons Activities - Mem
bership Eight Hudred

A large attendance, an unusually
fine managers report, and a per-
sistent demand on the part of the
members for a service corporation
in connection with their marketing
machinery were the outstanding
points in the annual meeting of
the Three Rivers association. The
report of the meeting in detail
follows:
The annual meeting of the Three
Rivers Growers association was
held in the Woodman hall at Ken
newick on Monday of this week.
The officers of the association are
very well pleased with the interest
shown. This is a pivotal year in
the history of the organization in
that the growers contract is SUBJ
ject to cancellation at any time pri-
or to January first next. Regard
less of this fact the meeting was
better attended than in any pre-
vious year, 101 being present. As
would naturally be expected diff
ferences of opinion developed but
on the whole a remarkable spirit
of harmony prevailed. To date
there has been less than two per-
cent of the existing eight hundred
contracts cancelled.
The report of the manager and
the annual audit revealed that in
spite of the frost and compar-
atively poor asparagus market the
association did a gross business of
$195,000. The report of the man.
ager further emphasized the fact
that we are becoming nationally
known as a remarkably successful.
strictly cooperative organization,
and the belief expressed that in
the years to come we will reap the
benefit of the constructive work
that has already been done.
As a result of the election the
board of directors will have two
new members: II. C. Powell, sue
ceeding C. j. Dahlin from Finley
Hover and E. L. Clemens, succeed
ing Fred Huber from Pasco.
The report of the committee ap-
pointed to consider a service cor
poration was enthusiastically re-
ceived and the members authorized
the committee to secure full in
formation relative to the incorpor-
alton of the new company, to sur
vey the available warehouse and
storage facilities and report at an
adjourned meeting to be held De-
cember 2Sth. The committee feels
that the way is clear to the final
establishment of strong cooper
ative. service company. The report
of the committee is appended.

HITCHCOCK
is "CHOOSER"
He Won't be Candidate
or Irr. Dist. Director
Voter Defined

81 do not choose to run" seems
to be a popular phrase this year
and its use is not confined to such
men as Cal Coolidge or Charlie
Hughes in fact Kennewick man
hurled the same startling words at
a representative of this paper to-
day. The man was c. G. Hitch
cock and the office which he does
not choose to run or even walk for
is that Of director Of the Columbia
Irrigation district. Mr.. Hitchcock
says that as he is no longer ac-
lively engaged in farming he feels
that the people should have one
who is, perhaps, more in touch
with affairs of the valley to rep
resent them. Then, also, the work
Of a director interferes with his
business and that often he does
not have time to attend the direct
ors meetings. .4 ~ {
Since Mr.. Hitchcock has an
nounced his withdrawal as trustee
of the irrigation district, several
prominent men Of the valley have
been mentioned as his possible sue
cessor. Among these are ]. c.
Rorick, Robert "Bob" Perkins, j.
H. Cronkite, Lester Cox, VIM. Mills
and III. N. Hampton of Hover, and
Clay Puderbaugh.
The Hover people have not had
a representative on the board Of
directors of the irrigation district
for several years and it is thought
that some man from there possibly
will make strong bid for the job.
The Columbia Irrigation District
is divided into four precincts and
at the election, which will be held
Tuesday, December 13, the resi-
dents of each precint will be ex-
pected to vote at their own polling
place. The polling place for pre-
cinct one will be at the home Of w.
F. Fullbright, four miles west Of
Kennewick on the River road; the
polling place of precinct two will
be the city hall; Of precinct three,
the Finley hall; precinct four the
Hover school building.
Every land owner in the Colum-
bia district is eligible to vote in
the election Tuesday. A court rul-
ing has defined an eligible voter,
in such elections as follows: "Any
person of the age of 81 years. be-
ing a citizen of Washington. and
who holds title or evidence of title
to land embraced within the bound
aries of any irrigation district
shall be entitled to vote at any
election held therein. Both husband
and wife are entitled to vote.
"An elector resident within the
district shall vote in the precinct
within which he resides, an elector
not residing in the district shall
vote in the precinct nearest his
place of residence. A contract to
purchase is evidence Of title"

SCHOOL TAX
NOT so GREAT
County Supt. Corrects I'm
preston of High Cost
e of Education .,

My attention has been called TO
the publicity on the recent report
of the state tax commission, and
the impression which has been
gaining ground that 1919 percent
of all of the state tax revenue is
applied to the support of our
schools, efrom the kindergarten
through the university" This is
true only for direct state taxes,
but does not take into considera-
tion over 100000 from indirect
state tax sources, said County
School Supt. Olaf Stranwold in
an interview this week.
State tax revenue for the sup
port of our government come from
two sources: direct and indirect.
The direct source is taxes levied
on real and personal property. In
direct sources are fees, licenses,
gasoline tax, etc.
From the direct source during
1928 the state should receive $13,-
792, ,277 as shown in the report OF
the state tax commission. From in.
direct sources during 1923 the state
should receive $22, 2,343,189.76 as
estimated in the budget submitted
by the governor to the last legis.
lature.
This will make grand total OF
$36, 134, ,466.76 from direct and In
direct state tax sources for the
support Of all state governmental
functions and activities.
The tax revenues. or appropria-
tion funds, from direct and indi-
rect state tax sources for the COM
mon schools and institutions of
higher learning should amount to
$11 ,091 ,592.SS during 1928.
This is only 1910 percent of the
total tax revenues or appropriation
funds of the state.
1t is Interesting to note from a
study of the report of the tax
commission and the budget submit
ted by the governor to the last
legislature, that 1910 percent of
the total state tax revenue, direct
and indirect, will go for the sup
port of the roads; 31.87 for gener-
al state administration; SOTO for
education and ABB percent for 9TH
er activities.
