1t seems to us that one of the finest things
which has happened as result of the free
ing of the Kennewick-Pasco toll bridge is
the opportunity afforded for the formation
of just such enterprises as the symphony or

alone was too small to permit such an or
ganization, but between the two towns a
wonderfully effective group can be formed.

THE DITCH MANAGER

In another column of this paper are print
ed the two letters which have caused all the
comment of the past week in regard to the
irrigation district. One is from the chairman
OF the board of directors and the other is
from the manager of the district It is quite
apparent that affairs had reached such a
stage where something had to happen
We are sorry to see Mr.. MuldroW quit. It
is our opinion that he has made good man
ager and that the district has profited I'M
der his direction. If our memory fails us
not, there have been fewer and less expens
i've breaks during his administration than
ever before in the history of the ditch and
that greatly increased volume of water.
with it's attendant increased dangers, has
been carried in the past few seasons.
1t needs no seventh son of a seventh son
to predict what would have happened to this
district had we been compelled to maintain
the schedule of payments on the outstand-
ing bond issue. The handling and successful
completion of the refinancing plan has been
huge job and one not ordinarily coming
within managers scope. This work was
done, however, and to Mr.. Muldrow goes
much of the credit. The job has been of un-
told benefit to this district We sincerely
hope that the friction can be eliminated and
that the board will again engage Mr.. Null
drow as manager.

Citizens of both city and county can feel
well pleased with the efforts of the council
and board of commissioners for keeping the
tax levies for the coming year down. While
neither county nor city has been running to
the full legal limit, the keeping within last
years budget figures, in view of the decreas-
ed valuations, shows that the assessing
bodies expended every effort to comply with
the demand for reduced taxes.

TAX BURDENS OF
 GREAT BRITAIN
 ARE VERY HEAVY
Nothing Like It in History of the Kingdom - Axe and Tax Nightmare Is Reality
BY KEITH JONES

United Press Staff Correspondent
 London. September II - (UP) = Great Britain frightened her belt today to meet the heaviest taxation burden in her history.
 The "axe and tax" nightmare became reality when Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Snowden announced his budget proposals which. with rigid economies in government operation, will over come a budget deficit of $S33, 3,490.- 900.
 The salaried worker will give the government 25 per cent Give shillings in the pound) income tax; laborers will pay one penny (two cents) more a pint for their beer; the rich will pay a super tax of 10 per cent, and higher on unearned incomes; automobile owners will pay an additional four cents gall lon( total 16 cents) on gasoline; tobacco manufacturers will pay higher taxes on leaf tobacco. al- though the Imperial Tobacco Com pany announced that retail prices W olundot be advanced.
 All who attend theaters and cinemas will pay an entertainment tax of 16 ga per cent.
 While taxes are increased, un- employment workers will find their benefit (dole) decreased 10 per cent; policemen will take wage cuts starting with five shillings a week for patrolmen; all civil serv- ants wages will be cut, beginning with a 20 per cent reduction for the prime minister and cabinet members; defense service, roac funds, and pensions will be slashed.
 Snowden expected to collect approximately $200.000,O0O in new taxes this year and $400,OOO,O0O next year. With economies Tn government operation, the addi- tional taxation will wipe out huge deficit and create surplus.
 The frail, crippled chancellor's dramatic cry, Come the world against us. England yet shall stand,' made a profound impress sion on his tense audience in the house of commons and was echoed throughout the land. Britons seemed grimly determined to carry out the drastic program in order that nothing might happen again to shake the value of the pound sterling.
 The Laborites, official opposi- tion to the national government, approved most of the taxation proposals but were determined to fight the economy program.
 London. September II - (UPl - The Stock Exchange reacted favorably today to. the new bud get T.,
 There was little alteration of in- dustrials. The effect of taxes on beer, tobacco, and gasoline were already discounted. Guilt edge securities maintained their Thurs day levels except war loan fives' which fell three sixteenths.

TWO MORE LIVES
 SACRIFICED ON
 PACIFIC FLIGHT
Don Moyle and Cecil A. Allen Are So Long Over- due, That the Last Hope Has Died

Seattle, Sept 11.-UP)-Don Moyle and Secil A. Allen apparent ly sacrificed their lives in the north Pacific in their attempted cross- ing of the north Pacific ocean.
 Belief that the two young flyers who set out courageously to fly from Tokio to Seattle in a second hand monoplane met death in a plunge into the ocean was general to-day.
 No word came that could be deemed authentic of any airplane that could reasonably be supposed to be theirs. No trace had been found by ships of three nations de- tailed to search for them.
 One possibility that Moyle and Allen are alive remains. If they landed their battered monoplane, City of Tacoma II" on some deso- late island beach along the Aleu- tian chain or near some native village in Alaska. it might take a month or longer for reports of their safety to reach civilization.
 That possibility is slim one, for no reports of their safety to reach civilization.
 That possibility is a slim one, foi no reports of the pair have been received since shortly after they took off from Sabishiro Beach Japan, last Monday. It was believ- ed that they would have been sighted somewhere. on land or sea, had they remained in the air long enough to reach any land on this side of the Pacific.
 Numerous reports of planes which might have been the City of Tacoma II have been received. but none was taken any too seri- ously by aviation officials here or persons who know the north Pacific.
 The latest such report said that

an airplane was sighted early yes- terday as it flew over Carmacks, 200 miles north of White Horse, Yukon territory. Absence of later reports of the plane being either identified or found, however, indi- cated that this was another false clue.
 Four passengers aboard the steamer Arthur J. Baldwin also were said to have heard d plane as 1t passed over that ship, but coast guard vessels which searched every point of land within a large radius, aided by forces of men on shore, found no trace of the missing air men.
 Four coast guard vessels, large land forces and a number of planes were making a thorough search of every point of land on which the flyers possibly could have landed.

Youth And Father
 Convince Judge
 Claim Is Just
Unusual Case in City Court Results in Cop Taking Rap and Auto Driver Saving Customary Sz Tax Car Re-parked, Claim of Owner-O Officers "No'' Fails to Click With Bench

1t. Westwood insisted that the ma chine was moved during the time the police claimed that 1t was parked. Officer Hayes was positive that it had not. The court in view of his claim and that of his father gave him the benefit of the doubt and ordered his discharge.
 Agnes Lunkutis, 19, of 4S9 Will son street was charged with pass ing a worthless check in local department store. Her case was continued one month, which will be period of probation for the acc cused. The young girl gave a $40 check in payment for a $5 hat. In attempting to pass another check in another store she was placed uni der arrest. As the states principal witness, the manager of the store in which the hat was purchased, does not wish to have the girl pun ished it is expected that at the expiration of the months time she will be formally released.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-09-11

By declining to pay the custom ary assessment and appearing in police court this morning to ex- plain his side of the story, Anthony Westwood, IF, of 10S Cooke street saved $2 and won a discharge on the, complaint of violating the parking ordinance. Judge T. V. Meyer accepted his explanation. His father parked the machine in the vicinity of Exchange Place. The youth claimed that he drove the machine home and returned to the same parking place.
