NICHOLS-KNAUB

AT the w. L. Enyeart home, ole
friends of the brides family, Mis-.
Marie Nichols, daughter of Robert
Nichols of Hanford and Mr.. Ear
Knaub of Veinita, were united il
marriage. DR.. T. j. Gray of thu
Presbyterian church officiating
Only a few friends, besides the i'm
mediate relatives, were present
twenty-five in all.
The ceremony took place be
meath an archway of mountain
laurel and English Ivy, the same
being used in other parts of the
house. A very effective touch Of
color was added by the use of tai
pink candles.
The bride entered the room or
the arm of her father to the strains
of Wagner's Wedding march from
"Lohengrin," played by DR.. Gray
Miss Virginia Enyeart sang, q
Love You Truly"
The bride wore gown of pale
green georgette over satin and
carried a boquet of Ophelia roses
and the bridesmaid, Miss Margret
Knaub, sister of the groom, wore
gown of apricot georgette ovei
satin and carried boquet of small
rosebuds.
The groom was attended by his
brother, Fred Knaub Of Vernita.
Following the wedding services
delicious refreshments were served
by the Misses Ruth Garst in vel
low, Verna Moulster in pink and
Virginia Enyeart In powder blue
The bride cut the cake, which was
made by Mrs. T. l.. Moulster, who
had charge Of the refreshments.
Mr.. and Mrs. Knaub received
many beautiful gifts of silver, lin.
en- and china. Especially interest.
ing are some pieces of old linen
china and silver which have beer
in the brides family for many
years and only recently were di.
vided between her and cousin
just married, one piece carrying
a coat of arms.
Miss Katherine Stafford caught
the brides bouquet.
The happy couple left in theil
car for Kennewick, where they
took the train for various places
on the Coast. They will be gone
for couple of weeks after which
they will live in their new home in

generally agreed that the Legis-
lature should increase the gasoline
tax from two cents to three cents,
which would provide $2,0O0,0O0 q
year more than is now raised. But
the difficulty will be in deciding
on the application of the extra
81, 000, 000-some want it used for
an East-West paved highway, some
want it expended on county sys-
TENS of farm-to-market roads,
some want it reapportioned to
counties without strings,etc.
Because of the varied demands,
it is now being suggested that the
gasoline tax be increased by two
cents, making Accent tax, which
would add $4,000,00O year. The
theiry being than an extra $4,000,
900 a year would be enough to
satisfy everybody.
Consequently, the gasoline tax
is bound to be a mean problem.
In addition, the forces in favor
of property relief" centered
largely in the Grange and the
Washington Tax Equalization coun-
ell, are determined to urge a shift
of some property taxes to other
sources of revenue.
It is indicated that the Legisla-
ture will be asked to consider .
personal income tax. Recently, the
attorney general ruled that an in
come tax would have to he at prop
erty rates, which of course, would
be prohibitive; but some advocates
of the income tax insist on a more
difinite test, not only to obtain
publicity. for the income tax, but,
in the advent of an adverse ruling,
as an argument for Constitution
al amendment to permit classifi-
cation of property for taxation.
Therefore, an income tax plan will
be discussed, even if not formally
introduced.
Then, again, the Grange is con-
sidering the submission of a bill
for luxury taxes, particularly a
stamp tax on cigarettes and tobac-
co. 1t is being argued by A. S.
Goss, master of the Grange, that
such a tax and a license fee to sell
would yield around $4,000, 900 a
year, which could be used to re-
lieve the load now carried by prop
erty.
Moreover, the classification issue
will be put up to the Legislature.
Representatives Mark Reed and
Ed Sims, who opposed the last
classification proposal, will offer
an amendment for limited CLASH
fication. In other words, they want
three or four classes defined and
fixed in the Constitution. On the
other hand, the other classified
tionists, aided by the State Tax
Commission, want an amendment
for free and unlimited classified
ton by the Legislature. So the
two plans are headed for another
collision, which, of course, is bound
to harass the Legislature.

IF ROADS WIN
BENTON WILL
BE BANKRUPT
(Continued from Page 1.

CONTINUED from Page L.
So, you see, the bank tax prob
lem means plenty of grief and work
for the Legislature.
Then there is the problem as
the consequence of pending suits
by the railroads. The Northern
Pacific, Milwaukee and S. p. & S.,
are suing to recover taxes and for
lower assessments; while the Great
Northern is paying its taxes under
protest, waiting the outcome of
the other cases.
Briefly, the railroads contend
that assessments are far above the
market value of their properties
the Northern Pacific for instance,
claiming market value of $70,-
0000, 900 against assessments total
ing $131 900, OOO-and that their
properties are assessed higher in
proportion to actual value than the
general property in IL counties.
These suits, if the railroads win
on every point, would mean loss
by the end of 1881, of more than,
$18,0O0,OO0 in refunds, interest,
withheld taxes, etc., and a perman-
ent annual loss of $2,500,0O0 after
1881. Every county in the state
would be hit directly or Indirectly,
and in some cases in eastern
Washington would be almost bank
rupt. Franklin, Adams and Benton
counties would be hit the hardest.
While it is true that the prob
lem will not mature completely
until about 1881, some counties
are likely to feel the pinch immed-
lately because of the railroads,
excluding the Great Northern, in
tend to withhold the protested
share of their taxes. Consequently,
the Legislature will be required to
consider the problem, perhaps
make some emergency provisions
for the counties that are threaten
ed with financial difficulties.
1t is expected that the Legisla-
tors of the threatened counties
will demand that the state should
bear the whole cost of the litiga-
ton. Anyway it is certain that the
Legislature will be asked to pro-
vide from 100000 to $4,000 to
carry on the legal fight in the COM
ing bienium.
Revision of taxation for the
common schools will also be pro-
posed to the Legislature. The pro-
posal will be included in thesShow-
alter program" for reorganization
of the public schools system. Of the
$32,OOO,OO0 raised annually for
the common schools, the state
raises around $1O,OOO,OOO and
about $2O,O0O,OoO is raised annu-
ally. Dr.. Showalter will propose a
shift to a $3.50 basis, half of the
total to be raised by the state
and half locally.
Such plan would necessitate
an increase of abort S6 mn nm
year In state taxes and decrease
of about 100000 a year in To-
cal and district taxes. Naturally
such a shift would require careful
and delicate work by the Legisla-.
ture, particularly to allay the fear
OF tax hoist as the result of the
deal.
Upward revision of taxes for
highways is on the docket. 1t is

SPEAKER REVIEWS
RUSS|A'S OUTLOOK.
DR.. Strakhovsky of G. U. Tells
Rotarians of Soviet
Conditions.

The recovery Of Russia and estab-
lishment of closer relations between
that country and the United States
was predicted by DR.. Leonid Strakhov-
sky, professor of history in the For
eign Service School of Georgetown Uni
versity, who fled Russia while under
sentence OF death by the Bolshevists.
before a luncheon of the Rotary Club
at the Willard Hotel yesterday !.
DR.. Strakhovsky sought to refute
myths regarding Russia, which he
declared existed in the minds of the
average American. The first of these
was that any relationship existed be-
tween the revolution against the Gear
in March. 1917, and that which pre-
cipitated Russia into Bolshevism in Mo-
vember. The former revolution at
tempted to establish an era of freedom
in Russia, he declared, and failed due
to the fact that it was inappropriately
undertaken in time of war. The Sec
ond was the idea which exists in Amer
lea, that Russia is more economically
prosperous under the Soviet regime
than under the Gear, and finally that
the present government is based upon
principles of democracy.
In order to show that Russia today
is under the most complete form of
dictatorship, Dr. Strakhovsky pro-
ceeded to sketch to his audience the
machinery of the Soviet government.
That the Proletariat party has not the
support of the Russian people DR.. Stra-
khovsky is convinced, and he believes
that they have been able to maintain
themselves in power only through the
lethargy and disorganization of The
Russian masses. The actual number
of confirmed Communists in Russia
was estimated by Dr. Strakhovsky at
less than a million. He emphatically
declared that Russia would live to free
herself from Bolshevism and that she
would eventually be bound to the
United States by closer and ever in
creasing ties.
At the request o. the members of
the Rotary, Dr. SCrakhovSky related
some of his experiences during the
revolution, which included a secptacu-
lar escape from prison when under
sentence of execution in 1918, and
fight on skis across the snow to Fin
land, 200 miles away.
Dr. Strakhovsky is the son of for
ner Russian governor, and twice was
wounded in action against the Bolshe-
visits when serving with Wrangell's
white" army in the Crimea. He was
