Hurn of Spokane, the first and
only woman to serve in the state
senate, has enjoyed tow terms and
wants another. Representative
Maude Sweetman, who has served
several terms in the house, has
filed for the place of Senator Heif-
ner, Democrat, who has decided to
run for congress. Then, up in Sno-
homish county, Mrs. Harry j. Mil
Ter, member of the house in the
1925 session, wants to succeed Sen
ator Joe st. Peter, recently resign
ed to take charge of the Monroe
reformatory. But Mrs. Miller is
not strong for Governor Hartley,
and the Hartley people are not
wild over Mrs. Miller, so she may
have a hard time, getting into the
senate to poster Mr.. Hartley. Any
way, it is certain that women are
not making rush to file for polit-
ical offices.

Snake River Unit
Proposed 10 Mead
Summers Receives Assurance
Project viii be Studied
by Officials

Possibilities of breaking the Col
umlbia Basin project into smaller
units were especially studied dur
ing the inspection trip recently
made by DR.. Elwood Mead, director
Of reclamation, and his party, says
Congressman Summers.
The opportunity for a small ir-
rigation unit on the lower Snake
river was pointed out by the con-
gresham to DR.. Mead.
It is proposed that a 3O-foot
dam be erected at Five Mile Rap
ids, five miles above the mouth of
the Snake river. This would gener-
ate enough power to pump water
on the lands in the western part
of Walla Walla county around Bur-
bank and Alfalfa and the Eureka
flat, as well as Franklin county in
back of Uasco. DR.. Summers point
ed out, and would constitute co.
900 acre project.
Assurances were received from
Dr.. Mead and Chief Engineer Wal
ter that they would consider the
possibility and feasibility OF this
project.

It was hoped to have things far
enough along in the Highlands re-
Mobilization plan so that the call
for the ratification election could
be made this week. At the confer
ence in Yakima yesterday by the
local board officials It developed
that certain details of the contract
had to be changed.
Tuesday of this week M. M.

tiers, Porter j. Preston, superin-
tendent of the Yakima project and

Bright Spot Of
State is Here
A. S. Goss Says This Val
ley is Way Above the
Average District

From the standpoint of the far
mers, Kennewick is one of the
bright spots of the state" said A.
S. Goss, state Grange moster, who
was the principal speaker at the
MONDAY meeting of the CONNER
cial club. Indeed, it is one of the
bright spots in America, when we
consider the terrible weather con-
ditions which are prevailing in the
other sections" he continued.
Mr.. Goss was a speaker at eBn-
ton City last night, where he told
of the Oranges work on the tax
problem. He spoke here of some of
the difficulties which surrounded
the revision of the tax laws Of this
state, but could but briefly skim
the subject in the short time he
had. In his talk he said that the
principal difficulty confronting the
tax payer of this state today was
the fact that less than one half
of the states wealth carried the
entire tax burden. The problem
was to distribute his overhead more
equiably.
Mr.. Goss said hat Washington
was still operating under the old
territorial provisions drawn up IS
years ago, when intangibles were
not to he reckoned with, and that
when statehood was granted the
old laws were incorporated into
the constitution. He said there was
no state in the union so bound up
with obsolete tax law provisions as
were in effect in this state. He be-
spoke a more uniform and elastic
tax law which would lift the bur-
den somewhat from the farm and
home owners. To tax wealth on its
ability to pay and for the bene-
fits accrued.
In his Introduction of the state
Lee Lampson, who presid-
ed at the meeting today, stated
that some ten or twelve years ago,
at the time Mr.. Goss was farmer
in the valley, that he had advanced
to the local organization very sim
liar measures for farm relief that
are now being worked out on ma |
tional scale. The Valley clubhouse
was the cradle of the present farm /
relief plan in reality.
E. o. Keene, county clerk, and |
Harry Forsyth, Sounty treasurer,
were also guests of the club today.

May Delay the Start
Of Big Storage Dam
Unless Payment is Arranged
Whole Development May
Lag

The reclamation department,
thru conditions recently imposed is
threatening to hold UP the con-
struction of the Gle Elum storage
reservoir. The department has al
ready appropriated a million and
a half dollars for the start Of the
work, which must precede the con-
struction of the Rosa project, the
Sunnyside highline plan which was
put ahead of the Kennewick unit
for construction.
Unless the landowners around
the Sunnyside project agree to pay
a million dollars on the construc-
ton costs of the dam very soon,
the money appropriated for the
start of the work this year will re-
vert to the general fund, accord
ing to DIR. Mead, who has been
holding a series of meetings in the
valley this week.
DR.. Mead insists that arrange
ments be made soon for the repay
ment of the construction costs be-
fore the work is started. The Yak
ina paper this morning said that
with only few hours of his stay
in the Yakima valley remaining,
DR.. Mead admitted that his rosy
predictions regarding the early
construction of the Gle Elum dam
construction may not be fulfilled.
He left for EIlensburg leaving To-
,al irrigation enthusiasts at work
on a funding corporation scheme
which they hope will enable them
TO get a guarantee of the dams
The Gle Elum dam, if construct
I'd, will be the states largest
storage reservoir and win provide
storage of approximately 100000
acre feet of water, with an esti-
mated construction cost of $4,000
100. A report submitted by Charles
3artholet, supervisor of hydraulics
hows the totol cost of storage IA
:ilities for the Yakima project as
whole to date as S7,600,00O.

rANADA'S parliamentary cleo

iANADA'S parliamentary cleo
tions were watched with great
interest because the results are
likely to be important to the Unit
ed States as well as to the Domin-
ion. The Liberal government, head
ed by Mackenzie King, was decis-
lively defeated by the Conserva-
tives, and Richard B. Bennett, Con-
sentative chief, will be the new
premier. Mr.. King himself was re-
elected to parliament, but many
members of his cabinet lost out,
these including Finance Minister
Charles A. Dunning, who drew up
the budget increasing the tariffs
against the United States and low
ering them to Great Britain, which
constituted the main issue Of the
campaign.
A quick call to a session of the
Canadian parliament is considered
one certain result of the political
upset.
Canada's extension of tariff pre-
ferences to Great Britain, without
exacting tariff preferences in re-
turn, can be expected to be with
drawn or modified as the result of
the election. The electors turned it
down in defeating the government
candidates. Canada, in other words,
will make it's trade treaties with
the world, irrespective of empire
ties and sentiment.

Dirigible RICO Makes Safe
Flight From Britain to
Montreal, Canada
By EDWARD ". PICKARD

Dy GD W AID W. ExNhA0U
GREAT BRITAIN's big dirigible
the RICO, made a successful
uneventful crossing of the Allan
tic ocean, taking off from Carding-
ton, Wales, and reaching Montreal
about &c hours later. There, at st.
Hubert airport, she was tied up to
the mooring mast that had been
built for the purpose, and her pas
seHgers landed, well pleased with
the trip.
Until the airship reached the vi
entity of Newfoundland she main
tanned speed Of between SO and
70 knots, but the ever-present fogs
then forced slowing down until
she got well into the Gulf of St.
Lawrence, having passed over the
Belle Isle straits. While passing
over Quebec the airship sustained
some damage to the fabric cover
ing one Of the fins, and the mo-
tors were shut off until repairs
had been made. This delayed the
arrival at Montreal somewhat and
prevented their being tied up to the
mooring mast until early Friday
morning. Throughout the voyage
radio communication was kept up
with bases in England and Canada
and with ocean liners. The norther-
ly route was taken, following the,
great circle by way of north Ire
land to a point south of Cape Fare
well, Greenland, then to Belle Isle
and along the st. Lawrence river
to Montreal.
Squadron Leader R. S. Booth
was in command, with four officers
and a civilian crew. of 80 men
Among the few passengers were
Lieut.. Com. Charles Dennistoun
Burney, managing director of the
firm that built the RICO; Lieut..
Com. R. st. John Prentice of the
British aircraft carrier Courageous
and Maj. G. II. Scott, famous Brit
ish airship commander.

Bennett premiership.
CTARTLING news came from
= China. A large Communists
army took possession of Changsha
capital of Human province, the
government troops retiring with
out making any defense, and the
city of half million inhabitants,
commercial, political and educa-
tional metropolis, was looted and
partly destroyed by the Reds. Ten
government buildings were burned
as were numerous foreign proper
ties and the Japanese consulate,
and the offices Of the Standard and
Texas oil companies were robbed
Wealthy residents who were un-
able to escape were tortured to
death. The Red invaders proclaim
ed q Soviet republic.
The burning and footing, says a
dispatch from Shanghai, was car
ried on in systematic manner.
The city was divided into SO wards,
each administered by Communist
leader with group of riflemen.
All power was centered in SUI
preme Soviet committee. Gangs Of
Communists, headed by squads of
Red troops, surrounded buildings
olArked off by tee supreme COM
mand for depreciation.
Orators proclaimed the Comn.un-
ist purpose 'sto distribute the sur
plus wealth." and select followers
entered the buildings and trans
ported furniture and valuabl.s to
the street, where they were auc-
toned off.
The proceeds were pocketed, aft
er which the coolies and town riff
! aft were invited to enter and com-
plete the footing. After this the
places were burned and the crowd
moved on to the next building
scheduled for destruction.
More than 200 foreigners, 20 of
them Americans, were at the sum-
mer resort at Kuling, near Xix
lang, and were considered to be in
grave danger On Wednesday the
American gunboat Palos, which
was approaching Changsha, was
fired upon by Communists and five
of her crew wounded. The Palos
returned the fire, using machine
gnne and three-inch rifles at close
range, and finally dispersed the
Reds. The Palos had previously
helped evacuate foreigners from
and was returning to
survey the ruins Of the city. Two
missionaries, Rev. Will
liam Lingle Of Salisbury, N. c.,
and Rev. Allen Cameron of Law
renee, Kan, remained in Changsha
because they had conscientious OBJ
jections against accepting protec-
ton from gunboats.
