EyERYBopY's ROLL SMALLER

Much interest is being taken in the
new samples of currency on display
at the First Bank of White Bluffs.
The "smallsize" currency will not be
available until July 10 and in order
that the initial issue may be equitably
divided in the Twelfth Reserve Dis
trict, each hank and trust company
will be allotted during the month Of
July an amount of new currency equal
to approximately $500 for each $1,000
of its resources with the maximum
allotment of 81 ZOO. When a bank has
exhausted its allotment, no more or
the new currency will be issued to
it during July. a@ ~ d
The new currency is quite little
smaller than the old, being 25a by
Ga inches, as compared to 31s by IN
inches. On display at the Bank here
are 81, 81, SIS and $40 bills but higher
denominations may be had.
After the initial issue, the Federal
Reserve Bank of San Francisco will
follow the usual procedure and pay
out available old currency, fit for fur
Their circulation, concurrently with new
small-size currency, in such proper

SURVEY NEW POWER LINE

A surveying crew for the p. P. &
L. company is here this week To-
eating a new line for the company be-
tween Coyote Junction, about half
mile south of the. Coyote pumping
plant, through Cold Creek to Nae
bours, or what is known as the "half-
way house," about midway between
Yakima and White Bluffs, where it
will connect up with the line run
ming from Priest Rapids to Yakima.
When built, the new line will be APP
proxirnately twenty miles long and
will obviate the necessity of the CON-
Eany using the Black Rock line in
its service between Yakima and
White Bluffs.
The new connection will carry
$500 volts. Although it will pass
through Cold Creek it would be nee
cssary to put in sub-station in order
to furnish electrical service for the
residents there and it is doubtful If
there is sufficient business at this
time to justify the expense of the
station.

GASOLINE TAX NOW
I RAISES HUGE sum

An additional one cent gallon gaso-
line tax in this state went into effect
July /, in accordance with an act
passed by the last legislature. This
makes a total of three cents per gall
lon that is now paid by motorists in
Washington.
The gasoline tax is now universal
throughout the land. It has swept the
country like an epidemic. When IL
linois' new tax becomes effective in
August the coverage of the United
States will be complete. And as this
sS-called painless" tax has spread,
its size has increased. The original
Oregon tax was one cent a gallon.
Now there is no one-cent tax. The
minimum is two cents and the maxi
mum is six. Revisions that have TAX
en- place during the ten years since
its invention have all been upward.
There are ten 2-cent taxes, thirteen
3-cent, one IL cent, sixteen cent,
seven Scent, and South Carolina has
rate of six cents per gallon, which
is nearly 43 per cent of the price
of gasoline in that state. The average
tax is three cents per gallon.
The total sum being paid by mo-
florists has reached great size. The
Bureau of Public Roads of the Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture
announces that during 1928 Ameri-
can motorists paid $3o5, $4,000 in gas
cline taxes, or $500 per car. The
American Petroleum Institute estinl-
ates that in 1929, with new taxes in
New York, Massachusetts, and lii
nois in effect, which was not the case
in 1928. the bill will be $450, 10000.
Neither Of these figures include many
other millions the motoring public
pays for license fees, property taxes,
etc, to say nothing of ordinary street
and road taxes paid by motorists who
are property owners. 81
The original idea behind the saso-
line tax was to acquire funds for the
bun ding of roads. Now there is a
tendency away from this. The Bureau
of Roads report shows that in thir-
teen states portions of the 1928 tax
receipts were used for other purposes.
There is logic in devoting gasoline
tax revenues to roads. But the propo-
sition of taxing motorists as q class
for general public purposes has no
logic at all.
Throughout the country huge sums
are being spent for the construction
of permanent highways, and the pres.
ent-day motorist is being assessed
full payment for improvements which
will last for many years. The sound
ness of this has been questioned by
many who argue that permanent pub
lie improvements should be financed
through bond issues. Gas-tax }recs.5a-
ues could be used for retiring the
bonds over period of years land for
maintenance of the improVerne
Thus future beneficiaries would pay
their share. If this were done, case
line taxes would come down rather
than go up.

Apple SURVEY l!l! .fAvoRs I /
PACIFIC COAST STATES.

Statistics of the apple industry are
extremely diverting. To the unin-
formed they present strange incon-
gruities. Trends of production are so
mixed that even those in the industry
need to keep analysing them from
year to year. Fortunately, u. S. De-
partment of Agriculture has the apple
business under such careful survei!
lance that the facts are nearly always
readily available for such study OF
them as anyone may wish too make;
1t has now given out some new figures
that provide material for several in
.teresting analyses-dissection from
a variety of angles.
At the outset, one is confronted
with the anomalous fact that though
the number of apple trees has de-
c1ined enormously, shipments have
increased very substantially. State
ment is made that from 1910 to 1925
number of trees decreased nearly 40
per cent To get the full effect of con-
traot, one may set up against that
statement another making known that
"car lot shipments have increased
at an average of 1900 car loads year
since 1913. and movements, by motor
truck have grown considerably" If
still further complication may be in
order it is provided by injecting the
statement that total apple produc-
ton has declined slightly since 1917"
To scan the three official statements
of the foregoing paragraph rapidly
might leave one in utter confusion as
to what really is happening in the
American apple orchard. Reconciia-
ton of the facts is not especially dit
ficult, however. In the first place, APP
pie production statistics are always
split into two divis:ons-'to total" and
commercial production. Crop statis-
ticians, gathering their data ernbraG-
ing all farms and orchards, provide
the figures On total crop. However,
a heavy proportion of this is not mar
ketable. This portion is. eliminated
in arriving at estimate of CONNER
cial" output, the figure in which those
who grow and handle the fruit are IN
tercsted. AS only marketable COM
mcrcial apples figure in shipments it
is easy then to comprehend that the
aggregate Of these could gain
markedly as indicated, while the total
crop failed to hold former levels
Apple States of Pacific Slope are
interested only in commercial fruit
production. For this reason growers
of this region are but mildly interest
ed in the startling decline in number
Of trees. The eliminated orchards

dlewest- produced chiefly unmarked

any Even such orchards Of far west
ern states as have been grubbed up
were providing little competition in
the wsy -of commercial crops. It is O.
some Importance, however, that while

little new planting, others again arc

trees.

TAKES TURN FOR WORSE

Sunday evening from Wallace, Idaho,
where with Mrs. Nitsche he had gone
the previous Monday evening upon
receipt of telephone message tel
ing of the automobile acciden. liz
which their son, Robert, Jr., was
critically injured.
Mr. Nitzsche said that further X
Ray examinations by physicians at
the Wallace hospital had disclosed
that while the pelvic bone had been
broken in five places there were no
fractures of the hip bones as at first
thought. Internal injuries must heal
first. Mr.. Nitzsche said before the
plaster cast that will aid in the prop
er knitting of the pelvic bone, can be
applied, but that the doctors believe
that unless unforeseen compile atoms
develop, Robert will be able to be
back in school some time in October.
