SWEEPING NARCOTIC ACT
DECISION is UXPECTED
Constitutionality of Measure Being
Argued Before Supreme
Court Here.

The constitutionality of the IIar-
rison anti-narcotic act was argued yes
terday before the Supreme Court in
a case which the Government expects
TO result in a sweeping decision clear
ing up disputed points in the law.
Harry r. Aston, convicted under
the act in Des ,Moines, raised the is
sue, and the Circuit Court of Appeals
asked instructions from the Supreme
Court, which had announced that if
the question We're properly raised it
would reconsider it's decision sustain
ing the law.
Solicitor General Mitchell, for the
Government, argued that the act as
H whole was constitutional. Should
the provision prohibiting possession of
narcotic drugs by individuals. except
for physicians prescriptions. be over
ruled, he said that section could be
held invalid without destroying the en-
tire act.

TAX MONEY
COMES GOOD
Assessor has Record Day
on c. ol e c t 10 n Sin
Excellent Condition

That Benton county is enjoying
a fair degree of prosperity is evi-
denced by the following figures,
submitted by Treasurer Forsyth:
Total collections of the office
on March 15, totaled $159,0OO or
more than $4,000 above any pre-
vious day of record. On March 13,
1928 under Treas. Macy's admin
istration is next with collections
of 100000. The banner day col
lections of the years 1924 and
1925 were $4,000 and $4,000 re-
spectively.
Despite the heavy receipts of
the last few days there has been
no congestion in the office or de-
lay to any tax payers. All calls
for information and other service
have been promptly and carefully
attended to. The office handles g
vast amount of detail in connec.
tion with tax collections and aside
from this comes the work of as.
sessing, which is a very important
function of the office. Assessor
Forsyth and his deputies are MAX
ing very thoro assessment o.
all classes of taxable property. Al
equitable assessment with all fair

Would you like to wear a rub
Der coat and ride on the fire wag-
on? All you have to do to crafty
the desire it to join the fire de-
partment. There are a couple of
vacancies that ought to be filled,
and the department. officers are
looking for likely material.
At their annual meeting last
week AL Haas was elected presi-
dent, Ross Willsey, vice-pres., Pen
ney Ferrell, secretary-treas. The

pointment of Wilmot Gravenslund

assistant.
The question of whether or not
the town wants baseball team

the fire department to manage ii

shortly. Last year the first game
of the season, played with Wal.
lula, was played on March 16

ARRANGE FOR
VOLLEY BALL
To Build Outdoor Court
Tomorrow Only Men
to Compete

Public Fairgrounds for the kids
of community are quite the ac-
cepted thing in most well regulated
and progressive cities, but Ken
newick is going them one better
we're going to have playground
for the business men. Feeling a
need for an outdoor volley ball
conrt work meeting has been
called for tomorrow afternoon,
when the businessmen of the town

expense to anyone, more than 3d.
600?
In this election the Courier-Re-
porter hopes to secure more sub
scribers-to enlarge its already
large list and to secure renewals.
In this election the Courier-Re-
porter hopes to add to its family
of friends. This will be accom-
plished not alone by the addition
Of new subscribers, and by the re-
newal of subscriptions, but the
manner in which this election is
conducted will, when it is over, be
a living advertisement for the
Courier Reporter. That is the aim.
Of course, this election will not
pay the Courier Reporter immed-
lately in dollars and cents. It
would be unreasonable to expect
that. Then, why, you may ask, do
you put up so much money when
you know in advance that you
cannot get it back from the SUBJ
scriptions received? And the an
swer: There are things more val
liable to a newspaper than money.
Subscriptions are more valuable.
Subscriptions give newspaper
prestige, power and enhance the
value of its advertising columns.
The rier-Reporter is taking
its own medicine. 1t is advertis-
ing. It is spending money to Gre
ate subscriptions-spending money
to add to its advertising patron
age and to create greater good
will. 1t will not pay the Courier
Reporter in dollars today. But the
efforts Of this election, the sub
scriptions that will be gained, the
friends that will be made, will be
of lasting and inestimable benefit.
The, Courier-Reporter is simply
investing in its future, in the fu-
ture Of Kennewick and this terri
tory. Frankly, in the end, it will
profit the Courier-Reporter.
Circulation is absolutely neces-
sary to newspaper. But it is al

TOWNS NEEDS.
All Kinds of Answers
Come to Question of
Importance

In an effort to get an expires
sion of opinion from the members
of the Commercial club on the
needs of Kennewick, President u.
G. Rodgers at today's luncheon
called upon everyone present Tor
his ideas of just what the town
needed most and how to get it. A
verbatim report of the answers
is interesting and we print here
with the statements from the var
ious members.
Mr.. Mattecheck, of the Wash
ington Hardware Co., was called
upon first and he thought the
town needed a good hardware
store. G. B. Shoemaker, OF the
milf, couldn't think of a thing the
town needed, nor could Bill Swift
ler, of Plymouth.
L. F. Semon: Dave said not to
take any more time than neces-
sary, so I will let Dave talk. ~. .
d. G. Rodgers: You need new
president of the Commercial club.
Orrin Smith: Pull together;
country and town to improve.
DIR. Brunn: Need less knocking
and more boosting.
Lee Lampson: Kennewick High
Line.
Ell. w. Desgranges: / would say
that one of the most important
things Kennewick needs is for all
to appreciate what we have. We
don't appreciate Kennewick. If we
just compare Kennewick with 9TH
er towns we would appreciate her.

thing to say, as / can't suggest
funerals.

hard work.
Phil Warnock, told an Irish
story.

gagged in running water down the
ditch and we need the prayers of
, all good men.
p. A. Combelic. I agree with
. Mr.. Desgranges. We have a mighty
good country. To prove it all we
have to do is to look back about
three years. We thot we were the
only spot in the country that had
frost. Yakima has had two shots
of it recently that we missed.
r. E. Reed: Street lighting sys.
tenn and paving.
Rev. Pennell: The town needs
more men of vision; men who car
and will think about the conditions
that confront the town and who
can see the remedies for the de.
: fects that appear.
