Director Says Rum0r Not Cor
rect; District in Splendid
Financial Condition; Want
Publicity

In an attempt to quell the ru-
mors regarding the Insolvency OF
the local schools, the matter of the
banks refusing to accept the last
warrants issued was brought be-
fore the Chamber of Commerce
at the regular meeting this noon
AS was explained by Lee Lamp.
son, chairman of the school board
the local school district is in ex-
ceptionally fine condition. There is
no bonded Indebtedness hanging
over the district, other than that
for which the levies were made last
year, and which has not yet all
been collected for, and for the first
time in several years the district
has been compelled, thru lack Of
tax payments, to go on q warrant
basis.
The warrants which were refus-
ed since the first Of the year were
turned down on a technicality. A
portion of them had not been reg
istered, a proceeding which is re-
quired when they draw interest
consequently the bank turned
them down when presented FOL
payment. AS soon as tax collec.
tions begin to come in the district
hopes to go back once again to the
cash basis. Mr.. Lampson, as vel
as Mr.. Hodge, were of the opin.
ion that the last of the warrants
would be taken up inside Of the
next six months.
The publicity committee was
given a 'razzing" for not having
the new booklet ready. The com
mittee promised speedy action and
the booklets will be broadcast x

MAY COLD PACK
BERRIESDURING
SEASONS PEAK
Growers Favor Planting Heav-
Ter Yielding Variety; Dis
cuss plan to Join Exchange;
Directors Reelected

Discussion of last years act
nities in the three crops handled
and the election of two members to
the board Of directors was the
principal business handled at the
annual meeting of the Washing
ton Early Crops, Inc, outgrowth
Of the 8 Rivers Growers.
M. N. Hudnall, representing the
Kennewick district, and George
SeIlick, representing the Finley :
Hover district, both of whose
terms expired this year, were re-
elected unanimously.
The three crops, asparagus,
strawberries and early potatoes,
were reviewed for the past year
and plans laid for the coming sea-
son. But little time was given to
the potato deal. The spud situa-
ton was about summed up in the
managers statement that one
mans guess was as good as an
others and in view of the fact that
last years disastrous prices and
over production had left consider
able of the crop still unsold, and
also in view of the fact that Cali
fornia has already overplanted by
20 per cent this year, the out
look is anything but bright.
Marketing the asparagus for the
coming year was given much dis
cusslon. Plans were laid for t h e
coming years work and it is thot
that, in general, the prospects are
better this year than last.
Changing to a heavier bearing
variety of strawberry in place of
the now famous Clark Seeding,
was also discussed. Last years ex-
perience showed that the same
prices were obtained for the 9th
er varieties as for the Clarks and
with a yield estimated at four
times the Clarks, many of the
growers favor the change. mas
much as the Kennewick berries are
being rapidly crowded out of the
long-haul markets, the good ship
ping qualities for which the Clarks
were famous, the softer berries
are proving satisfactory in the
nearer retail areas.
Investigations were made last
year as to the possibility of treat
ing the surplus berries at the peak
Of the season with the cold pack.
5. F. Clements, who grows the most
berries on the Pasco side and G.
Sellick made up a committee which
Investigated the plan as used on
the coast.
Packing the berries-one part
sugar to two parts berries-in Is
and 30-lb. tins and in 5O-gallon
barrels and then freezing, is prov
ing popular in many eastern mar
kets. The fruit thus packed is used
at soda fountains and for jellies
and jams. The plan will be used
only at the peak of the season
when no fresh market is obtain
able.
Some discussion was also given
the Regional Exchange plan as
sponsored by the Federal Farm
Board. 1t was agreed that the To-
cal coop enter the Exchange, which
includes members from Hood Riv-
er, The Dalles, Spokane and pos
slbly Wenatchee. This plan is made
lor the purpose of handling the
shipments jointly to eliminate con-
inctlng quotations and over sup
ply on given markets. Some work
mas already been done locally along
.nis line. The headquarters for the
branch will be at Kennewick.

Budget Preparation
Expenses Must Be Cut

The Budoet Bureau has concluded its hearings esti
mates for District for the next fiscal year and is to be
hoped that the economy necesstaed by the financial cond
tion of the city will be reflected in the final budget

that appropriations be held to the minimum or that
there must be an increase the rate had severely pared
the figures before they to the Federal agency

below the estimates which they had submitted for the current
year.
Although no definite figures have been made public it has
since indicated good authority that the Commissioners
the local economy committee subsequently cut even these
estimates by approximately $7O00,000.
There no reason to fear that the Budget Bureau will
crease the amount asked for by the Commissioners
On the contrary every believe that the
Bureau will find of savings which the local officials
have overlooked.
In the face of the doubt which exists to what
will be Districts total income during the coming fiscal
year is essential that expenditures be kept low
possible.
The decreased ability of District citizens to taxes must
be taken into account
Not only that but the probemacal attitude of Congress in
regard the Federal share local must be
consideration.
Decisive action may be taken at the coming session the
Mape bills designed increase the burden of citizens
and to decrease the Federal share.
If that action is unfavorabe to the Dstrct-n the bills

West Is Stampeding
To Roosevelt

It is sheer bunk to refer
to Mr.. Hoover as a Western
man. He left the West
when he had barely attained
his majority, he did not
even stop in the East; he
went on to England and
under the British flag he
lived during the greater
part of his mature manhood.
He never went back to his
beloved West until in his
middle forties when he was
aspiring for office. He has
not actually lived in the
West more than six months
since he left it as a boy.
His sympathy" with the
agricultural West has been
demonstrated by his indif-
ference and hostility in Of
flee. There is no reason
why a promoter in the
mining industry in China,
India. Australia and South
Africa should be familiar
with, Or interested in, the
problems of the American
West. Mr.. Hoover is not.
That is the reason that Cap
per himself, leaving the
White House after a confer
ence some time ago, COM
planned that all Mr.. Hoover
would talk about was the
indications of the market
ticker tape.
And that is the reason
Senator Moses, who called

the West sons of the wild
iackass, is one of Mr..
Hoover S outstanding cham
pions.

Senator Capper's
Statement

This general attitude Of
the West makes all the more
remarkable Senator Capper s
obsequious and sophisticated
support of Mr.. Hoover. The
Kansas Senator, making his
money on the farm ers S
through his farm paper, is
entirely satisfied with what
the Hoover administration
has done to agriculture; and
this ought to be Of interest
to his subscribers.
Bunk seems an inevitable
ingredient of a Hoover plea.
Thus Capper has the ef-
frontery to say that taxes
are coming down" " It is in
credible that any member of
Congress should make a
statement so notoriously at
war with the truth. For
Senator Capper knows that
the highest taxes ever levied
in times of peace have failed
to balance the budget; he
knows that we are now pill
ing up an appalling deficit ;
and he knows perfectly well
that taxes are going up to
meet this new deficit.
But the most bunkish
statement of Senator Capper
is this:
Hoover is a Western
man in sympathy with
Western interests. Roose-
welt has lived all his life in
New York. He does not
know the West. I see no
reason for voting a West
ern man out of the White
House to put an Eastern
man in.
That statement calls for
analysis.
