CLUB TO URGE
STREET LIGHTS
To Vote on Changing Club
Name at Next Meeting;
Bus Might Explode

We're keeping up to the times
in Kennewick. The old Commercial
club is about to pass into history.
Next Thursday the club members
will vote themselves out of the or
ganization and into brand new
one-The Chamber of Commerce,
if you please!
A motion was made at today's
meeting calling for a special vote
on changing the clubs name. Some
of the members feel that the old
name has become sort of second
rate thing and that Chamber of
Commerce more fully expresses the
class and activities which are en-
gagged in.
Among the things considered at
the luncheon today was an item
which was called to the clubs at
tention by representative of one
of the railroads.&c. fact that the
bus lines are carrying explosives
on the highways without adequate
notice to other travellers. So, don't
crash into bus just to see if the
thing will explode.
A resolution was introduced up
on request of the governing board
that the city council proceed to
take up the matter of providing
the city with an adequate street
lighting system. Budget provisions
will make this improvement pos
sible and the business men are an
xious that the work be undertaken
soon. The mayor and councilmen
will be presented Individually with
copies of the resolution and it is
hoped that the matter will be fur
Their considered at the next meet
ing.

SCOUTING WORK
COMES OF AGE
21st Anniversary Being
Celebrated: Boys Have
Fine Exhibit

Scouting becomes of age this
week. Twenty-one years ago this
institution was organized and all
over the world the birthday is be-
ing celebrated in various ways.
Recognition of Anniversary week
is being made thru roundup of all
scouts and men who have ever
been scouts or who have been as
ISOLATED as troop committeeman,
merit badge examiners or other
helpers in scouting. The National
Council wants every boy and man
who has ever been associated with
the work during its 81 years to be
counted as an evidence of his 10y
atty to the ideals of the movement.
A joint meeting of both local
troops last night was held at which
time Don Higley was received as
tenderfoot scout. The meeting was
attended by Committeeman Lane
K. Larson, Herman Campbell, Har-
ry Blake and Fred Morton, in addi-
ton to the masters of the two
troops, Vane Wilder and Andy An
derson.
To call attention to the anniver-
sary the scouts have decorated the
Courier Reporter window with their
remnants, merit badges and various
samples of their handicraft. Most
of the display is the handiwork of
Kennewick's first eagle scout, Paul
Duffy. The fire-by-friction tools
used by Paul in winning the cham
pionship are included in the collec-
ton. It is an interesting display
and one worth the effort to see.
Some extremely interesting facts
were given out recently by James
E. West, chief scout executive. In
the life of the organization 5,243,-
814 scouts have enrolled. There are
$4,000 scouts now, and $4,000
scoutmasters and assistants. The
average age of a scout is Is years.
1t is interesting to note that
eight members of the all-American
football team this year have been
scouts and 70 percent of the
Rhodes scholars were scouts. Over
one-third of the scouts came from
towns of $500 or less. Eight of the
ten highest ranking youths who
took the Edison test were scouts.

NEW NEWS
ABOUT CANAL
Congress Loans Five Mil
lion for Work; Water
Shortage Acute


A bill authorizing the transfer
of $5,000,Q00 from the treasury to
the reclamation fund for carrying
out the irrigation construction pro-
gram passed the senate at Wash
ington, D. C. the first of the week.
The bill provides for repayment to
the treasury at the rate of 81 ,000,-
900 annually. The measure now
goes to the house.
No word has been received from
Washington this week in regard
to the status Of affairs on the To-
cal reclamation project, tho those
closest in touch with affairs feel
confident that this new bill will
only relieve the stringency in the
reclamation department. Definite
word is expected from Washington
within the next day or two, re-
garding the pipe line work.
Characterlzing as grave the stu
alton confronting the Yakima val
ley owing to the deficiency in pre-
cipitation for the last several
m o n t S, / etters urging the
cooperation of the state represent
atives at Washington are being
sent from Yakima.
With the precipitation in the
watershed areas only 55 percent of
normal for 1880 and the waterfall
this winter the lowest on record,
the situation is acute and is near
ing an emergency, the committee
believes.
Reclamation figures show that
at the present time there is stor-
age in all reservoirs of $4,000
acre feet, which is third less
than at the same time last year,
and there are 10000 new acres of
land to be watered this year.

succeed in paying out, the bond
holders will have been paid off. If
any of the other 1900 acres pay,
the district treasury will get the
benefit.
The other feature of the plan is
three-way contract between the
company, the district and the trus-
tee. This defines how the trust
company shall hold the bonds, col
lect the money, pay it out to the
bond holders and turn over the
bonds to the District as the money
is collected under this plan of set
Element the bondholders have ex-
tended the time of the original
bonds by twenty years. If at least
$500 acres finally pay out on
their contracts, the bond holders
will get their money back with in
terest at about 1-2 percent. If
less than that acreage pays, their
recovery will be proportionately
cut down. But the individual land
owner, if he pays out his own con-
tract will pay no more-regard-
less Of how much or little the
bondholder may eventually collect.
The next step in getting this
settlement under way is the con-
sideration of the plan by the bond
owners and the signing of the in
dividual contracts. 1t is big job,
as some 800 different owners
must sign up. A mass meeting has
been called at the Valley clubhouse
at 2:S0 Saturday afternoon, Febru-
airy Ia. At this meeting the direct
ors, secretary, and attorney Of the
district will be present and the
whole matter will be fully discuss
ed.

SESSION SLOW
SAYS OLSON
Irrigation Bills Seem AS.
sured; Still Argue on
Gasoline Tax
By o. II. Olson

Things are moving rather slow
ly although the majority of the
members are giving sincere study
to the various matters before the
Legislature. The biggest disap-
pointment as yet is the failure to
make more progress in tax re-
lief legislation. There have been
several bills reported out and a
few passed, but practically all the
bills looking to a shifting Of the
burden to property now escaping,
are still in allegiance.
House Bill No. II, which passed
the House is undergoing consider
able debate in the Senate and may
be amended. There is an attitude
on the part of some that they will
not consider revenue producing
measures until this bill is finally
disposed of. This may occasion fur
ther delay.
The bill providing for tax on butt
ter substitutes which was passed
by the Senate was reported out
favorably by the House Revenue
and Taxation Committee. This is
a peculiar measure in that if it
accomplishes one purpose of rails
ing revenue 1t cannot serve the
other purpose for which it was in
tended. namely, improving the
price of butter by eliminating but
ter substitutes from competition,
or on the contrary, if it does elm
mate the butter substitutes it will
not produce any material revenue.
The sentiment is very strong, how
ever, for its passage.
The old steelhead controversy is
raging in full force again. Two
years ago it was Settled presum-
ably but an innocent enough sug-
gestion that steelhead caught in the
Snake River above it's mouth could
be sold, opened the matter wide
enough and they are going the
rounds on the subject once more.
Two of the irrigation bills af-
fecting Franklin county and Bur
bank District in particular, but
also the Richland and several 9th
er projects passed second reading
in the House Tuesday. I do not an
ticipate any opposition to these
measures.
The controversy as. to what
changes to make in the automobile
license fee is still on. The sub
committee which has been studying
the matter reported in favor of an
$500 license fee with 1-cent in
crease in gas tax, the gas tax to
be effective April of this year. The
difficulty seems to lie largely with
the problem of raising sufficient
revenue to carry on the road pro-
gram. There is still great deal
of sentiment in favor of the $500
flat fee with a higher gas tax, and
Just how the compromise recon-
mendations will fare when it comes
out before the entire body IS prob
lematical.

PAX LEVY 10
MILLS HIGHER
Schools Take it But oper-
ating Cost Is No Higher
Than Previous Years

Local property owners are
80 IN understand what all the
s.Ilsr over at Olympia is about.
Personal property tax statements
we're received the first of the week.
o far we have been unable to find
, single person who has not made
bleat about his statement.
TODAY being a holiday at least
% far as banks, county and state
officers are concerned it was i'm
roe;ble to get accurate information
- to the why and wherefore. a
nbone call to one of the office en-
uloyees in the treasurer's office
todav as to the reason of the in
crease in millage over last year
brought the response that it was
for school purposes.
Last year the total millage was
@-this year ten mills higher for
the city of Kennewick. All or near
" all the increase is in the school
levy, according to Mrs. Davidson.
In addition to the increase in the
levy, nearly every business place
in town has suffered from an in
creased valuation, which increases
the taxes to be paid next month.
This increase is nearly fifty per-
cent in a great many cases.
Superintendent w. C. Hodge
calls attention to the fact that this
increase is not due to increased
costs of operation, for, in spite Of
the fact that taxes are not paid in
full by the railroads and others,
the levy for operation remains the
same as previously. In this regard,
\ report from the state examiners
commends the district on it's fru-
gality in operation. Calling atten-
ton to the fact that if the railroads
had paid the assessments levied
against them the district would be
out of debt completely and would
have a cash surplus of nearly $780,
900 in addition under the present
levies.
Real property tax statements
will be out next week, according to
Mrs. Davidson. On the backs of
these statements will be given the
itemized villages for each of the
taxing units of the district.
A quotation from a well-known
publisher of current weekly is
as follows: Friends and neighbors,
the taxes are indeed heavy, and if
those laid on by the government
were the only ones we had to pay,
we might the more easily dis
charge them; but we have many
otners, and much more grievious
to some of us. We are taxed twice
as much for idleness, three times
as = much by our pride, and four
.lmes as much by our folly; and
rom these taxes the commissioners
cannot ease or deliver us by allow
ing an abatement. However, let us
a !. to good advice, and some
sn,ng may be done for us. God
nslps them that help themselves.

chosen for the slip covers. Ready
