TOO CENTRALIZED

There is proposition before
the legislature, which by the way,
stands some chance of icing pass
ed, providing for a tax committee
to oversee the levies made in each
county of the state. On the face
of it, it might not seem so much
out of the way. But consider its
possibilities.
This board of three laymen IS
appointed by the state tax COM
mission, which, in turn is appoint
ed by the governor. Suppose Ben
ton county should do something
unfavorable to the governor. Word
would come to the local board to
cut to the bone. Every activity
schools, roads, everything could be
so curtailed that no progress could
be made whatever, and the cost Of
the neglect could be quite expen-
sive.
And what could any board know
of conditions surrounding everv
taxing unit, more than the direct
ors of that unit?
We hope the legislature will not
carry this centralized authority
thing to too great lengths.

is the most economical means of
distribution, it will prevail in spite
of all opposition and needs no po-
litical favors for livelihood.
Consumers have no objection to
the cooperative marketing plan,
provided that it results in lower
prices. But when, through political
interference, this form of market
ing begins to assume the form of
trust to curtail production and
eventually raise the price to the
consumer, the consumer balks and
commences to search for market
unaffected by political or govern
mental influence.
Therefore, it appears as though
the establishment of actual CO.
operation between all of our cit
liens and a tolerant belief in the
good faith and efficiency of those
who are succeeding in their chosen
line of endeavor, even though they
seem to be more prosperous than
we are, is what Washington most
needs.

That is exactly the opposite of

Real commercial cooperation is

TALK ABOUT TT

Almost anyone will admit that
one of the most important needs
of the city is an up to date street
lighting system for the down town
district. This matter has been be-
fore the council for years now and
plans have all been worked out
and estimates received: Due to
previous inability to finance the
work the job has not yet been
started. Mayor Anon has signified
his willingness to carry on the
work, the councilmen have agreed
to do their parts, the Commercial
club has reported favorably upon
the project, the money is available
in the budget-all things are fav-
orable right now to go ahead.
Lacking only is the insistence of
the residents of the city that this
work be undertaken.
The mayor and council are trans
acting the public business for the
citizens of the town. They are
there for that purpose.
If the citizens want street lights
the city will provide them. Think
over this idea. Talk with the mayor
and the councilmen. If you think
well of the plan, tell them so. You
will find them receptive. Think
about it-talk with your neighbors
about it. Do something about it.
Let's not drop the proposition now!

It would seem that large por-
ton of our legislators, both ma
tional and state, lie awake nights
thinking up new ways in which to
spend the Taxpayers money and
new measures for increasing the
tax burden.
Every session of Congress or
state legislature sees the advocacy
of new schemes and other agencies
for the spending of public moneys,
besides the extension of those al
ready in existence. While it can
not be denied that reasonable
number of commissions and bur-
eaus are necessary to the proper
functioning of the government,
many of them might well be cur
tailed or dispensed with altogeth-
er. s-H
With the prospect of a serious
deficiency IN the revenues of both
national and state governments,
it would seem that some care with
respect to increased appropria-
tions might he expected. But,
strangely enough, much legisla-
tive activity is directed toward
the further hampering of the very
businesses and industries which
are most heavily taxed already,
and upon whose prosperity govern
ment revenues largely depend.
This situation will prevail un-
til the taxpayers themselves call
a halt by RELOCATING to private
life those legislators who persist
in Supporting indefensible raids up
on the public treasury.

Right now our hopes are up
again, on the work on the High
lands. For the past two weeks we
heve been on the heights one day
only to sink to the depths the next.
Word come from Washington that
DR.. Mead has requested immediate
action on our project. A day or so
later the press reports that owing
to lack of money all reclamation
work will have to cease. Following
that comes further word that un-
less the contractors agree to wait
for their money the work must
cease-today reclamation leaders
in Yakima are jubilant over the
fact that money seems to be avail
able for some of the work, tho no
entirely new projects may be UNI
dertaken. Local directors are al
most breathlessly waiting word
from Washington to indicate where
our project stands.

ed into two general classes, the
producers and the distributors.
Lack of cooperation between pro-
Queer and distributor has resulted
in the establishment of the social
ed marketing agencies, the idea
being that the distributors had fail
ed to carry out their part of the
scheme of things efficiently and
economically.
No handicap should be placed
upon cooperative marketing. 1t
should be given opportunity to
prove its worth. On the other hand,
it has no right to ask for legisla-
tive or other favors. If it cannot
prove it's superiority as a distribu-
tor over independent enterprise, it
has no place IN oar commercial or
der.
There are few Of US, if any, who
are not affected directly by the fin

carefully against tendencies, polit-
zeal or otherwise, that affect this
industry unfavorably.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Since the beginning of 1881
much space has been given by
newspapers to discussion of the
business and industrial outlook
predictions of a rapid restoration
of normal conditions are not being
made nearly as freely as were a
year ago, yet expert opinion is in
the main optimistic.
Reports from industrial centers
show that thousands Of men were
put back in automobile, railroad
and other industries in single
week, and further reports of in
creased forces have been of daily
occurrence.
While so far these given jobs
represent only a small percentage
of the unemployed, it is encourag-
ing that start in the direction of
industrial revival has been made.
In the meantime much is being
done by the governmental and
other agencies in an effort to af-
ford emergency relief to those
who are actually suffering for the
necessities of life; but this task is
an enormous one, and distress is
likely to be widespread for some
time to come.
While it is generally conceded
that recovery from the depression
will be slow, many leaders be-
lieve that when normal times do
arrive again the caountry will be
on sounder basis than ever be-
fore. That will certainly be true
if all the people will heed the
lessons of recent months and CO.
operate intelligently to avoid an
other orgy of overproduction,
speculation and other excuses,
such as that which brought about
our present plight.

HOOVER MOVES
To QUIET UNION
LABOR CRITICS
Names John R. Alpine as
Doak Aid, Orders Jobs
Service Extended.

81 Unftss Press
WASHINGTON, March 1s.-Ex-
tension Of present federal employ
ment service, without the addition
Of new machinery, was announced
by President Herbert Hoover to-
day as his answer to critics Of his
veto Of the Wagner unemployment
bill.
The expansion, concretely ex-
pressed IN terms Of half million
dollars expenditure, was looked upon
also as an attempt to placate the
forces represented by William
Green, president Of the American
Federation Of Labor.
The President selected John r.
Alpine, New York A. F. of L. leader,
as assistant secretary Of labor In
charge Of the broadened employ
ment activity.
Alpine was Green's choice for
secretary Of labor, and the differ
ences that arose between him and
Mr.. Hoover over the appointment
led to a sharp rebuke of Green by
the President at the time Of his
choice Of William Nuckles Doak.
Extend Jobs Service
Designation of Alpine to the new
post was viewed today in the light
Of a gesture Of peace toward Green.
The President said Alpine would
begin extension Of the employment
service at once by the addition Of
several divisions, and the establish
ment Of a system of cooperation
with existing public agencies.
These divisions, he said, will
cover mining, building, metal trades,
transportation, needle trades, tex
tiles, Office and mercantile, seamen
and longshoremen.
A general study Of the question
Of free public employment agencies
also is proposed, with special at
tention to the problem of tech
biological unemployment.
The service to be organized by
Alpine Will nave az lCS dlSpOSal a
total Of $880,00O-the regular fund
Of $4,000 plus the additional
S500,000 included in the second de-
f1ciency bill as an alternative to
the Wagner measure. The latter
would have appropriated $1,5OO,o0o,
nearly twice as much.
Criticised Hoover Veto
Mr.. Hoover's veto Of the Wagner
bill has been criticised severely on
many sides, by labor leaders, econo-
mists and politicians. The charge
has been made that the bill was
unacceptable largely because SEN
ator Robert F. Wagner (New York;,
its sponsor, is a Democrat.
The Wagner bill would have set
up nationwide system of en-
ployrnent agencies under state SUI
pervision, but financed on a fifty
fifty basis by the states and the fed
eral government, following out the
same plan as has been in effect for
some years in the case Of state high
ways.
