DEBATE

The first debate recruits were called
Wednesday morn at 1920. The follow
ing nine boys turned out: Juniors, Ell
roy Wiehl, Carol Meeker; Sophomores,
Charlie Goodner, Forrest Heath, Thur
ston Foltz; Freshmen, Freddie Gilhuly
Phillip Hemker, John Keal. They are
being coached by Mrs. Nelson Appar-
antly, the high school girls are not
sufficiently argumentative to partici-
pate in debate.
The state question for the year was
discussed. 1t seemed little difficult at
first but it became quite simple before
the master minds were through with
the discussion. 1t is: Resolved That at
least one half of all state and local
revenues should be derived from sources
other than tangible property" This
subject should be of great interest to
the public.
For the sake of practice the boys
are working on the age-old proposition
Resolved: That the country is the
best place to rear children"
Debate is new venture for most OF
the boys but if their present enthu-
siasm does not abate it should be sue
cessful.

WINDBREAK PLANTING
TO BE TRIED IN COUNTY

Cooperators in the Finley community
last year requested that some work be
started toward the establishment of
windbreak paintings in that commun-
ity, working toward reasonable control
of blow conditions. Recently, through
the State College forestry department.
cooperation has been secured for the
establishment of windbreak planting
of five rows of trees taking up rs feet
next to the fence row. This planting
will be approximately 1000 feet long.
The plan is to use it not only as a
windbreak planting but also a shell
ter belt for pasture for livestock as
soon as the trees have become well
established.
The trees used in the paintings will
be, beginning with the fence row, ST.
berian Pea tree, which is rather low
growing variety and which will be
planted close together Inside of this
will probably be silver maple. The next
row will be black walnut and the next
row Russian olive with the last row
either Norway spruce or Douglas fir.
This should give protection, when the
windbreak has grown to any appreci-
able size, for quite an area.
Wild plums will be grown to be used
as windbreak paintings across the fields
in order to serve as added protection
and various crops from which some
returns may be expected.

It's rather difficult to get well organ
lied enthusiasm into pep rally when
sixty students are participating. Most
schools Of this size have a we'll chosen
yell team with lots Of ideas and plenty
of pep to put the idea across. In every
group there are some students who
don't care to rasp their Threats. It
takes only few such to give listless
sound to the yelling. Why not organize
regular pep team to travel to all the
games? Let's abolish this uncertainty
of wondering whether or not enough
rooters will go along to boost the play
ers yell team is the logical solution

Friday, October IA, marked depar-
ture from the regular school program,
in that it provided temporary holi-
day for students, and gave teachers an
opportunity to observe teachers in other
systems, compare problems and receive
new ideas. Ordinarily, county insti-
tute at Prosser occupies this day, but
visiting day was substituted this year,
in the belief that it would offer more
of real value to the teachers.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson and Miss Duvall
visited schools in western Washington
at Kent, Bellevue, and Bothel. Kent,
with approximately two hundred sew
enty pupils, in modern, we'll equipped
building, presented Well-organized
system from which to obtain sugges-
tions as to class room methods. Belle
vue, with one hundred eighty pupils
and eight teachers, was excellent from
the point of view of Office administra-
ton, as the school possesses a we'll
organized system.
Mr.. Carboneau and Mr.. Janney in
terested in grade school technique, Wis
tied schools in Snohomish and East
Everett. Snohomish has a junior and
senior high school combined, and is
working under difficulties. The school
has capacity of two hundred fifty,
and seven hundred fifty pupils are
attending. Consequently, there was
great deal of confusion.
Miss Marsh and Mrs. Moede visited
grade schools in Richland and Benton
City and returned to their classrooms
with more optimistic attitude after
seeing the handicaps under which other
schools are working.

INITIATIVE NO. SO

For years the cost of our state, coun-
ty and municipal governments nave
been betrayed almost exclusively from
a general property tax. The result has
been an increasing burden on property
with corresponding decline In real
property values. The cost Of govern
ment has increased and cannot be cur
tailed without jeopardizing efficiency.
The income tax bill has been proposed
to furnish source Of revenue, which
will relieve the strain on tangible pro-
perty. Similar laws are in successful
operation in a number of states. 1t does
not increase the amount of taxes to
be collected but will decrease by the
amount realized from it's operation, the
revenue to be raised from either
sources.
The bill proposes to levy and collect
a tax on the net income of every per-
son residing within the state of Wash
ington, or from his personal represent
tative in case of death, and from every
nonresident upon such income as is
derived from property located or bust
ness transacted within the state. met

less allowable deductions.
Tax to be levied and collected on tax

second $1,000, IL per cent; third $1,000,
