There was very little change in cotton

A GOOD MAN
FOLLOWING the news i

FOLLOWING the news item in
= this paper a few weeks ago
concerning the formation of a
Summers for Congress" club in
Kennewick, it is noted that other
towns both large and small thru
out this congressional district are
forming similar organizations, the
purpose being to send DR.. John
Summers, of Walla Walla back to
congress for another two years.
The doctor has demonstrated him
self mighty valuable man, both
to his district and to the state and
territory and the booms, self
starting as they are, are a natur-
al result.
Congressman Summers knows
the ropes at Washington, and be
the item wanted large or small, ne
gets results. He is on the job when
important debates are taking place
and when important votes are tax
en- his is recorded. When his COM
mittees are meeting he is on the
job. When matters concerning the
veteran relief, better mail service
for towns or rural routes, irriga-
ton relief or farm legislation re-
quire contact with bureau heads to
get action, he is prompt in making
contact with the proper head. A
representative with the record of
DR.. Summers will meet with no
serious opposition in his campaign
for reelection.

FAIR TAXATION

THE principle behind all demo
cratic systems of taxation is
that the cost of government should
be equitably distributed over al
property in accordance with its
value.
Theoretically, this principle is
still without some agitation TO
levy more of the tax burden
against the corporations" as if
they had had some magical way of
creating wealth and didn't have to
take it from the pockets of those
to whom they sell services or COM
modities.
Inequitable taxation benefits no
one in the long run. 1t discourages
industry and is detriment to
steady employment, good wages
and high living standards for the
workers. 1t amounts, in effect, to
class legislation. No business is
entitled to prosper at the expense
of another business.
1t is safe to say that a great
many of our economic problems
would be at least partially solved
if we returned, in fact as we'll as
theory, to the principle that taxes
shall be distributed fairly among
all property,

ton, the majority against him be-
ing 3O,956. When Bowles took Of
flee last year he appointed as pub
lie works commissioner one Joseph
Gillespie, who had been forced out
as police commissioner in 1916,
when vice conditions in Detroit
were especially bad. Under Bowles,
the newspapers declared, gambling
houses and speakeasies began rum
ming wide open and Police Com
missioner Harold Emmons was said
to be afraid to close them. Finally,
while Mayor Bowles was attending
the Kentucky derby, Emmons did
raid some places, and the mayor
thereupon ousted him.
Under the law new election to
fill the mayors place must be held
within 80 days of the filing of the
certified returns of the recall cleo
ton. Under the law Bowles is auto
matically a candidate for re-elec-
ton and any other candidate may
go on the ballot by presenting
nomination petitions signed by H.
900 voters.
Only a few hours after the De-
troit voters had put Bowles out of
office, Gerald Buckley, radio an
nouncer who had been delivering
actresses describing vice conditions
in Detroit and criticizing the may
or's administration, was shot to
death in the lobby Of a. hotel by
three men who escaped. This was
the eleventh gang murder in the
city in nineteen days. Governor
Green ordered the state police to
investigate the crime independ-
emily and said he would call out
state troops, if necessary, to stop
the assassinations. There were
points of similarity between the
murder of Buckley and that of
Jake Lingle, the Chicago reporter.
1t was asserted Buckley had been
the intimate friend of underworld
and the Detroit police
said they had in their possession
an affidavit purporting to show
that he had been extorting money
from bootleggers.

CONDITIONS GOOD

GENERAL conditions through
- Central Washington justify a
feeling of greater confidence than
has been evident for year or
more.
All communities of Central
Washington are thoroughly sold
on the need for state advertising
campaign.
These are the two things which
most deeply impressed the Off
GERS of Washington State Chamber
of Commerce, who have just re-
turned from tour of that section
of the state from Leavenworth to
Walla Walla. Seven of the State
Board of Directors, headed by the
president, Frank III. Lamb, made
the trip, holding meetings with
leading citizens at Wenatchee, Ell
lensburg, Yakima, Toppenish, Sum
nyside, Pasco and Walla Walla.
There are good crops in all lines,
both in quality, with fair mar
keting outlook for most products.
The prospects for profitable re-
turns from the fruit crops are
good. Where wheat farmers are.
getting thirty bushels or more per
acre there will be some profit at
present prices. Many wheat farm
ers are hopeful that prices will
improve rather than decline. The
potato crop promises reasonable
returns. Lamb prices had fallen
off sharplly;. hay had started NOV
ing at a low. level; but hope for
improvement was expressed.
Dairy and poultry interests were
not complaining.
Among the business men in the
towns visited there was feeling
of confidence. Many reported bus
mess equal to last year. In Wenat-
chez, where the big hydro-electric
development of the Puget Sound
Power & Light company is under
way, the feeling was very good. |
There is more building construc-
ton in Ellensburg than in many
years.
Throughout the Yakima Valley |
and in the Walla Walla country !
there will be good crops, with in
creasing bushes activity.
Every community visited ex-
pressed enthusiastic approval of a
state advertising campaign" said |
President Lamb upon his return,
"and pledged cooperation with the
State Chamber of Commerce. The
need for advertising the state to
bring an ever-increasing number of |
tourists is recognized-if this state
to hold its own against the ex-
panding efforts of other states and |
communities. The efforts of the
state chamber to place prospect
i've purchasers in contact with the
available farm lands are heartily
approved.
we were pleased to find gener-
al conditions as favorable as they
are, and are very much encouraged
with the many evidences of sup
port and cooperation"
