PUBLICITY FUND BILL
WASHINGTON Press Associa

~ ton and Washing Chamber of
Commerce have proposed bill
known as the Washington Publi-
city Act, to raise a fund with
which to give publicity to the
state. The money is to be raised
through a tax of one-tenth of a
mill on all personal property and
will be distributed through the Of
flee of the secretary of state, who
will in cooperation with two sell
ected advertising and publicity ex-
perts. execute all the provisions
of the proposed bill.
These two experts will reveive
ten dollars per day for the time
actually spent in preparation OF
their task, and such additional
help as necessary by the secre-
tary of state is the only additional
cost the bill will require. All the
funds to operate the act will come
from the direct tax for publicity.
No new or additional commissions
or departments will he added other
than those specified in the bill
6erein.
Washington is one of the few
states not operating under some
similar act and because of this is
net receiving her proper amount
of publicity (. to acquaint the
people of the nation in general
Of such advantages as this state
has to offer. The fund is intend
ed to take up the slack on publ
city, as there is nothing available
in the state plan which provides
for this activity. The secretary of
state cannot even answer the in
quiries that do come in continu-
ally, concerning the opportunities,
climate and so on of our state, be-
cause he has no funds with which
to pay the postage or clerical
help. This bill certainly should
have the wholehearted support of
every resident of Washington.

THE COMMISSIONER
HUGHES filed for the

at the importunities of his many
friends; both in the lower valley
and at the west end Of the county,
An especially gratifying number
from Richland urged him to be-
come candidate. In KenEewick,
too, numerous friends advised and
urged him to run as they consid-
cred that he would make fine
commissioner.
In business lines Mr.. Hughes
was rather more than ordinarily
successful. He has had consider
able practical experience in road
building matters and thru his work
for the county in the past ten
years he has acquired a knowledge
of the condition and possibilities
on the farms in this section, un-
rrpassed, possibly, by any other
man in the county. He knows the
needs and demands of each Sec
ton of the district. He has good
Judgment and sense of fairness
which are required for the position
he aspires to.
He is in no sense a representa-
tive nor the candidate of any clique
or faction, relying upon his repu-
tation and qualifications only for
his success in the primaries. His
wide acquaintanceship should make
this certain.
Make your decision soon as to
which of the candidates you desire
to serve as business manager for
this eleven million dollar concern
called Benton County. We think
you will agree that Mr.. Hughes
fills the bill.

OUR REPRESENTATIVE

OOh NEF ftEloEIlN4A1
IN Mr.. Miller's announcement of
= his candidacy in last weeks pa
per he seemed to cover every point
in which the people of Benton
county are most vitality interested.
Being county of great distances
and few towns or cities, the mat
ter of highways must Of necessity
be handled largely by the state.
His special interest in highway
work and his prominence in the
State Good Roads association have
given him a great advantage from
this standpoint.
To the people in this end of the
county who are so vitality interest
ed in irrigation legislation, Mr..
Miller's statements will appeal.
There are a few things in the mat
ter of conducting an irrigation
district which must be changed if
communities like those Of Richland
and Kennewick are to continue and
prosper and Mr.. Miller's willing
ness and ability to assist are very
necessary qualifications.
The removal of the tolls from
the bridge is another matter in
which the people of the whole
county are interested. Mr.. Miller's
attitude on this question should
certainly find approval.
Let's elect Mr.. Miller to go to
Olympia!

DIR. SUMMERS
WHILE confident that Congress


" man John W.. Summers will
be returned to his position at
Washington this fall, nevertheless
this paper would like to call at
tention again to some Of the ac-
complishments which are credited
to Mr.. Summers and which are the
basis for his popularity with the
voters of his district.
Ready and willing at all times
to secure government assistance
for any proposition requiring it,
DR.. Summers has been an active
and efficient representative at the
national capital. His ability has
been recognized by his appoint
ment to the agricultural appro-
priations committee, one of the
most important groups at the cap
itol. AS a matter of fact, he is the
only man on the committee hailing
from the West and this is the first
time the state of Washington has
ever had representative on it.
As a result of his membership
on this committee Mr.. Summers
has secured some appropriations
which have been of great benefit
to the fruit districts of the state.
ii
He was able to double the appro-
priation for wire worm control,
work. He secured an appropria-
tion for the investigation of the
spray residue and preceding prob
lens, the result of which will mean
large saving to the fruit men.
He helped with the passage of a
fifty per cent duty on italian cher
ries which come in competition
with the fruit from this section.
The shipping point inspection
law has proven of great worth to
shippers of apples and soft fruits
from this state. Shippers report
that this law has saved to the
growers of the valley from five to
ten cents per box on every crate
of fruit shipped during the past
five years or so. A tremendous
saving to local growers.
DIR. Summers is also a member
of the independent offices appro-
priation committee, the five MEM
bers of which control the expendi-
ture of $56O,O0O,OO0 a year. The
appropriations bill as prepared by
this committee is the second larg-
est bill submitted and ranks next
to the post office bill in Importance.
Among the other things DR..
Summers has been active in that
particularly affect the people of
this district are: The quarter mil
lion dollar addition to the veterans
hospital at Walla Walla, the farm
quarantine act which prevents the
importation of disease bearing
shipments into the state, the
weather station at Yakima, where
the frost warnings may be more
accurately forecast, securing the
extensions to the rural routes at
Kennewick, adding about twenty
miles and thereby giving improved
or additional service to about a
hundred families, secured the city
delivery service for Kennewick,
probably the smallest town in the
state enjoying this service and
so on.
Working for the project of the
greatest Importance to this sec
tion at all times-the high line
canal-Dr. Summers seems to
stand better chance of securing
action than new man possibly
could. For our part, we do not
care to swap this particular horse

JUST as. many folks from thrs

the Prosser States Day celebra-
ton. It is attendance at this sort
of get-together celebrations which
finally manage to heal old sores
and bind the county closer to-
gether. There should be a good
representation from Kennewicla
and Richland at the Prosser show.
