Since the big fire last winter
when the store house of the P. P.
& L. was destroyed, the company
has been using a temporary loca-
ton. And while the business went
on as before there was felt a lit
tie uneasiness that perhaps this
big business might be lost to Ken
newick as their pivotal point. The
operation of the plant from here
means much to Kennewick business
men and the community in gener
al.

Pretty soon the farmers
will yearn to escape
from farm relief and
get back to good old
fashioned depressions.
But with Congress GO

can lay the blame onto
them.

that the city taxpayers, who in
many instances, are workmen
struggling to pay for home or
to educate their families, should
be obliged to contribute to the cost
of paved highways outside the
city limits, over which buses and
transfer trucks carry people and

is grossly unfair. The railroads
are taxed. Why not the bus and
