For years this community has
been digging up each year for the
Red Cross. A portion of this years
Community Chest budget is al
lotted to that organization. This
money, on the whole, has been very
freely and quite cheerfully given.
This year the bread that has been
cast upon the waters will return
to us. From present indications,
the Red Cross will return to Ken
newick, Richland and vicinity more
than the total amount these COM
munities have contributed in years
past. More than a hundred sacks
of flour, for instance, have already
been given out here from the Red
Cross. Another shipment of FIVE
hundred sacks, as well as cash
and cotton materials, has just been
received. No one in this district
should ever again hesitate, when
asked to contribute to the organ
ization. The donations should be
liberal and cheerfully made.

ment because of his long service
and his age. When it was rumored
a year ago that he might retire
when he reached his 10th year, a
strong delegation of democrats
awaited upon him and urged that
if he contemplated such plan not
to do it until after the November
election this year.
Now that the democrats have
swept the nation, Judge Neterer
may carry out his original plan.
That will open another fine plum.
While al, of these offices with
the exception of the United States
marshal are open to appointment
very few employees can be named
as all are under civil service.
This means simply that the head
of the office gets job but will
find it hard to place his friends
on the federal payroll. The attor-
ney has some openings as does
the marshal. The collectors and
immigration commissioner, how
ever, are not so fortunate.

After the collector of customs
comes the collector of internal
revenue, commissioner Of imml-
grafton and two United States
marshals, one for eastern and one
for western Washington. Two U.
S. attorneys are to be named, one
on each side of the hills.
These are all desirable posts Tor
hungry democrats and will un-
doubtedly be filled before the end
of next summer
There is also another fine plum
hanging from the tree for the IN
coming administration, now that
it is assured democratic. for some
time rumors have been rife that
Federal Judge Jeremiah Neterer
was contemplating retiring, leav-
ing his post open to appointment
by the president.

On road and highway matters
the governnor-elect has pledged
himself to another program to-

to repeal the levies in the counties
for road purposes.
Then he pledges to work for
program which will give:
/. A system whereby all roads
in the state are under the state
highway department, with one
classification for highways to be
constructed and maintained by the
state and another for those to be
improved and maintained by the
counties with state cooperation.
2. Redistribute moneys raised
by gasoline taxes and motor fees
to the counties to replace the mon
ey raised by direct taxation.
8. See to it that the omnibus
road or highway superintendent
bill is enacted before the 35th day
of the 6O-day legislative session.
The governor-elect has also

1t appears that a settlement of
the railroad tax case is still some
time from a settlement. The lack
of this money is causing serious
hardship on the local school dis
trict. There are some forty thous-
and dollars worth of outstanding
warrants in this district alone. The
districts at Richland and Prosser
are in similar shape. These war
rants are drawing seven per cent
interest and still the teachers and
others who work for the district
are unable to cash them. The state
has some money in its school fund.
It would seem wise move on the
part of these three districts to
float bond issue, which the state
could take at a low rate of inter-
est, and retired these expensive
outstanding warrants, thus putt
ting the districts back on cash
basis again. This is matter which
should have serious consideration
by school patrons in these dis
tricts

This state now has 40-mill tax
limit law, which includes the state,
county, city and school district
levies. Outside incorporated cities
the limit will be Is mills, exclusive
of the necessary 1evies to carry
interest and payments on bonded
indebtednesses. 1t is possible, tho
not probable, that the law be made
effective this year. This means
that the maximum levies upon real
and personal property will not ex-
coed $1.25 for each 500 in actual
value. Surely this is little enough!
But, since we have so limited our
selves, we must cut our patterns

levy the school districts cannot

POLITICS
Q = : = = - = = = =
by Jimmie K. Browne)

The electorate of the state has
thrown out of office every one of
the old Republican state officials
with the exception of DIR. NJ D.
Showalter, superintendent of pub
lie instruction, and has gone fur
Their and has refused election to
virtually all of the seasoned mem
bers of the state legislature.
When the 1888 session convenes
at Olympia January 9. it will be
to find a complete new personnel
of law makers, the vast majority
of whom will be men without any
previous legislative experience.
The presiding officer of the
state senate, Victor Meyers, of Sc
attic, is without experience or
knowledge of legislation.
This is but the beginning. There
is not one of the new state offic-
ers who has had training in state
affairs, but with one or two ex-
ceptions, all are men of exception
ally high character and ability, so
they should quickly adjust them
selves to their new environment.
There will be two women in the
new legislature. Both are demo-
Gratis. Both are well seasoned Leg
islators, having had considerable
experience in the house. Mrs. Belle
Reeves of Chelan and Mrs. Wanna
maker of Island county. Both left
fine records from previous sessions
as legislators of state-broad vision.
The new session starts without
one former speaker sitting. This
is something most unusual. In adj
dition, it will open with but one
democrat who has ever served on
a rules committee, E. L. Banker
from Okanogan, who for years so
ably represented that section only
to be left at home four years ago.
Reports from King county in
dictate that the 20 democrats from
that county are already planning
to take over control and elect one
of their members speaker. Donald
A. Mcdonald is being groomed
for leadership. He is one of the
old school, safe and sane on broad
policies of government and has a
rather wide experience in state
affairs.
It would be a rather difficult
thing at this stage of the game to
estimate just what will be done
with the committee assignments.
The democrats have elected at
least one banker to the house, M.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1932-11-17

, Starrett OF Port Townsend, so this
will place him as chairman Of the
important committee on banks and
banking, through which governor
elect Martin desires to bring about
much remedial legislation.
Roads and bridges will probably
go to Banker who served long and
faithfully upon it in days gone by.
Banker, however, if he takes that
Craftsmanship and does not land
the speakership, cannot sit on the
rules committee. If elected speak
er he becomes ex-officio member
If all committees and can act when
and where he desires.
The results of the election are
rather unusual. For instance the
voters have ousted the "old guard"
Of both major parties and have
placed in office younger men with
out any strong partisan ties, de-
spite the fact that all have been
elected as democrats.
In fact the election returns in
dictate the breakdown Of the party
system in the state.
The democrats elected a United
States senator and six congress-
men. The primaries refused to cons
slider the old tried straight laced
party followers. Instead the demo-
Gratis generally nominated men
who were Overnight" democrats
for federal places.
The new United States senator
could not make up his mind upon
which ticket to file he had pre-
viously tried them all with more
or less success until the eleventh
hour when he cast his lot with the
democrats.
In the first congressional dis.
trict the new member of congress
became democrat an hour before
he filed. In the second, the new
member is a younger democrat,
but like the first district represent
tative, is without previous politi-
cal activity. He, however, is an old
party man, and has been for years.
In the third district the member
elect tried the race two years ago
as republican and failed. He be-
came a democrat overnight.
In the fourth, the successful
candidate has been a progressive,
Farmer Labor and democrat. Of
course, Congressman Sam B. Hill
in the fifth, is one of the old school
democrats. The member from the
sixth is democrat of long stand
ing also.
The same situation prevails IN
the legislature. Many of the new
members are only in the democrat
ic party because they sensed the
coming landslide and sought office.
The exceptions will be found to be
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1932-11-17

sary to conduct our schools as they
have been. The suggested cuts in
service must be accepted; we must
understand that each Of the con-
veniences and additions costs real
money and there is no way now
to provide for them. School OFFICE
ials have figured that nearly eight
million dollars a year will be cut
from the school funds in this state
and this is taking into considera-
ton the possible proceeds from the
new income tax which also goes
into effect this year.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1932-11-17

men and women Of high qualifi-
cations and ability
The coming session will be the
most important in the states his
tory in many respects. 1t is the
first time since 1897 that any par
ty other than the republicans have
had undisputed control of the
house. 1t will also place the re-
publican party in the position of
the minority group, although there
is still a possibility that the re-
publicans will control the senate.
If this be true the republicans
can assume their duties as a MI
nority party. These duties require
that as such it watch over and Wig
orously combat any legislation or
proposals which will not be of BEN
eft to the entire state. In other
words a strong minority party
can and does control legislation
to large extent, and it rests up
on its shoulders the burden of pre-
venting unwise legislation at any
stage of the game.
Clarence Martin will be inaug-
urated at noon, Wednesday, Jan
uary IL, 1888. He has pledged to
the people of the state among
other things that he will do these:
1. Reduce the cost Of govern
ment Is pc recent.
q. Place all property on the tax
rolls and restore increased valua-
tons on all corporation and special
interest property.
8. Repeal the road and bridge
and road district levy funds.
4. Enact an income tax, place
an impost on intangibles and re-
store banks and other financial in
stitutions to the tax rolls.
The above are a few of the many
promises designed to lift the bur-
den of taxation from the backs of
the small home owner. In addition
he has promised the people of the
state to do these things:
/. Amend the workmen's COM
pensation act to provide for un-
employment insurance.
