TAX MILEAGE
HIGHEST EVER;
TAXES LOWER
This District Has al Mills
But Reduction in Valuation
Cuts Costs; Forsyth Says
We Must Cut Down

Taxes in Benton County, as a
whole. will be. lower this year
that last year in spite of the IN
crease in the levies of state, coun-
ty and most of the school districts.
Our state and county levies have
increased 5 mills over last year,
making total of 80 mills, says a
statement sent the Courier-Re-
porter today by County Treasurer
Harry Forsyth.
The combined levy for the City
of Prosser will be as follows:
State and county, 80 mills, city,
10 mills, and school district 10
mills, total of 62 mills or 2 mills
higher than last year. The COM
bined levy for the City of Ken
newick will be as follows: State
and county 80 mills, city 25 mills,
and school district Is mills, to-
tai of II mills or s mills higher
than last year. For the City of
Richland the combined levy is as
follows: State and county 80 mills,
city Is mills and school district 81
mills, tota lof 6 mills or 6 mills
higher than last year. School dis
trict is, in spite of a reduction in
valuation, this year, lowered their
levy 8 mills, real saving to the
taxpayer.
In spite of the increase in levies.
continues Mr.. Forsyth, there will
be reduction in taxes in most of
the districts and substantial re-
duction on farm lands and vacant
city and town property. Due to the
fact that some of the school dis
tricts voted special levies and in
some cases it was necessary to in
crease the levy to take care Of the
bonds and interest due and coming
due, the reduction in taxes on

some Of the property will not be
as great as was hoped for, but,
taken as a whole it will show quite
a reduction over last year. 4
This year, / lowered the values
on all lands, including city and
town lots, in some cases amount
ing to so percent reduction.
This has been instrumental in re-
ducing taxes, but, we need some
thing to lower the levies and 70
keep them there. / believe that
Initiative No. 81 is the proper
measure, whereby the total mill
age is not to exceed 40 mills. The
total levy would be distributed as
follows: State 5 mills, county 10
mills, school district 10 mills and
city Is mills, making total of 40
mills that could not be raised with
out three-fifth majority of those
voting on the proposition at a
special election. Some Of our tax
ing bodies will throw up their
hands and say, "Whyl We can't
operate on that, it will put us out
of business" There are two ways
out, either reduce your expendi-
lures to within your income or
raise your revenue from some
other source, other than on the
real estate. consider this mea-
sure safety valve to the proper
ty owner as he can be assured
that hos tax levy will not exceed
40 mills. Tt also would be an in
ducement for people to build and
own their own homes. Under the
present taxing system, people are
afraid to invest in real estate, be-
cause Of the taxes and the unlim-
tied powers Of the taxing bodies.
For the past ten years our leg
islators have been talking Of do
ing something to lessen the tax
burden on real estate, but all they
have done has been to talk. Now
the people have a chance TO do IL
themselves and should not over
look the opportunity. Then it will
be up to the Legislators to devise
some other means of raising addi-
tional funds, if needed, to oper-
ate our state and county govern
ments. AS the saying is, 'The
power to tax is the power to des-
troy" We have almost reached
that stage today.

Early SILK Spinning

Perhaps the first mention of the
silkworn ID western literature is
that by Aristotle, pupil of Plato
and teacher of Alexander the Great,
who lived in the Fourth century, b.
G. He speaks Of it as: "a great
worm which has horns and SO
differs from others. At its first
metamorphosis II produces cat
erpillar. then horhbylius. then a
chrysalis all the three changes
taking place within six months.
From this animal women separate
and reel off the cocoons. and after
wards spin them. 1t is said that
silk was first spun In the Island of
Cos, by Pamphile, daughter Of
Plates"

POLITICS
3 b q = = e 2 8 9 e q {

(By Jimmie Il. Browne)
Washington this year faces one
of the most critical periods in its
history.
Aside from strictly partisan
politics and forgetting personal
tiles in the present presidential
campaign. one fact stands out
prominently; Unless this state is
given every possible tariff pro-
lection to its industries, there will
be no industrial activities here in
the future.
The lumber and climber mar
ket, the wood pulp and paper bus
mess, the coal mines, fisheries,
and in fact every one of the basic
industries of the state are either
closed down or operating OF part
time.
While the depression is respons-
IDLE for a part Of this shut down,
debased currencies of nations with
which the Northwest trades, cou-
pied with the lack Of tariff pro-
lection, is a large contributing
factor.
With this. industrial disaster
staring the state in the face, there
is no reason why there should be
any hesitancy on the part of the
voters to determine whether they
desire free trade or protection
thru high tariffs.
One of the largest infant indus
tries in the state, one with bril-
liant future as payroll maker
and wealth producer is the wood
pulp business. There is already
invested in this state and Oregon
more than $75, 1000, 900 in this bus
mess. It has been looked upon as
one of the greatest agencies for
the development of the Northwest
yet found.
But foreign importations of
wood pulp and news print, made
under cheap labor and sold under
debased currency, have reached
point whereby the Northwest
producers cannot meet the compe-
tition and keep his plant active.
The average cost Of production
in the Northwest is from $500 to
$1,000 per ton higher than the
print from foreign countries.
Paper is shipped from Swed-
en- and Eastern Canada to the Pa
cific Coast and sold in Oregon and
Washington at cost below that
of actual production in this sec
tion. This means that between
5000 and 5000 men who would
otherwise be at work under nor
NAL conditions are idle.
1t is one Of the peculiar things
in politics, that finds those Sc
attic papers which are most
strongly fighting the national adj
ministration, attacking the tar
if measure, and pleading the
cause of the workingmen," are
those which are now using East
ern Canada produced news print.
Recently there was discharged
in Seattle for the use of the chain
newspaper groups, shipment OF
1850 tons of news print from
(iininSeetssaiot Tsloefioiltpe
New Foundland. It is of partic-
ular interest to know that when
this cargo was landed, newspaper
and news photographers were
barred by the Seattle Port Dis
trict from the docts. Efforts to OBJ
tain pictures Of this newsprint,
showing to whom it was consign-
ed, failed.

ton and the newspapers in par
ticular, can be forced to see that
the development of the paper in
dustry of this section of the ma
ton, means the recreation Of a
huge purchasing power, there will
be little hope for the future. But
this can never be expected as long
as the chain group, foreign con-
trolled newspapers of the state
are permitted to CONTROL and die
tate policies.
Al survey of the political situa-
ton of the state shows slow re-
turn towards President Hoover,
and slowing up of the Roose-
welt movement which the Demo-
Gratis started more than year
ago.
This can be traced to the fact
that the Republican state organi-
cation has started to get under
way, whereas the Democrats have
been perfectly organized for al
most two years, thanks to the work
Of the late A. Scott Bullitt, who
unfortunately could not live to see
his work bearing fruit.
However, now that the Republi-
cans have their decks cleared for
action and have gone into the bat
tie en- masse, there is certain to
be some shifting Of sentiment.
In virtually every nook and cor
ner in the State the tax problem
is paramount to all other issues.
The question Of gas tax diver
sion to purposes other than road
construction and maintenance is
to be found under discussion on
all sides but with few exceptions
there is no demand for using gas
tax moneys for purposes other
than roads.
While there have been several
proposals advanced for using rev.
enues from the gas tax for school
purposes, the general concensus
of opinion is that the only legit-
innate way the state can use the
gas tax revenues is to allow the
counties greater amount for new
construction work and relieve the
road and bridge funds and the dis
trict road funds of the levies.
This gas tax diversion program
is one which the next legislature
must tackle promptly early in the
In both the camps of Republican
Nominee John A. Gellatly and the
Democratic Nominee Clarence d.
Martin, there is feeling Of OPP
timism. AS matter Of fact the
campaign managers in both places
are confident their candidate has
the job sewed up in sack.
A scouting trip through the
state, however, does not so indi-
cate. The fight is yet young with
the Republicans having slight
bulge on his Democratic oppon-
emit.
A new drive to put the repeal Of
the state bone-dry law over has
started with Seattle group and
every effort is now being made to
halt the slump which has greeted
this initiative since it was filed at
Olympia.
On one side we hear great de-
mands that the costs Of govern

have laughed at any suggestion
their city would nominate and sup
port radicals and communists for
public office. Yet this has been
done.
The same thing will follow
wherever the district power bill
is invoked and a power district is
created.
The businessmen of such COM
munity should arouse themselves
Ia study of the power bill shows
that the commissioners can enter
into general business.
1t is one law to open the way
for communism in Washington and
when once in force through some
districts, the way is open for tax
ing over all industrial and bust
ness activities of that section, and
tax the remaining property to foot
the bills. Nm

Legislative battles are becoming
warm in the various districts. The
Liberty party has filed number
of candidates, and these where fill
ed are making the sleding uncer-
tain for both the Republican and
Democratic nominees.
Every indication is that the Re-
publicans will hold control of both
the Senate and the House, but will
not have two-thirds vote in the
future as in the past.
The Liberty party, by the way,
is showing some heavy gains in
ever ycounty.
Already there are stories going
the rounds as to whom will be the
next speaker. Names so far men,
toned included Homer Post of
Asotin, Bud Reader of Klickitat,
Earl Benson of Walla Walla, For
mer Speaker Ed. j. Templeton of
Snohomish and C. C. Aspinwall of
Thurston.
1T is generally concede that judi
son Falkner of Seattle will be Sc
lected lieutenant governor unless
there is Democratic landslide
which is far from an assured
thing. The Democratic nominee
Vic Meyers, jazz orchestra leader
OF Seattle has not set well with the
state as a whole.

purchase had been made here, Is
one of the most bitter against the
tariff, against the administration
and is loudly supporting the lib
eral or radical candidates for all
offices. It is fighting the tax
payers of Seattle who are demand
ing tax reduction and is in every
way seeking to turn this state
over to the radical group which
now holds Seattle in its grasp. The
chain to which it belongs operates
three dailies in the State, at Sc
attic, Tacoma, and Spokane. and
one in Portland.
"A study of the reports IN the
State Department of Labor and
Industries showing the steady and
rapid decline of the payrolls OF
the basic industries, and then a
visit and check with the industrial
leaders will demonstrate to the
most ekeptical person that the
problem of employment can be
traced largely to lack of proper
tariff protection, and the debased
currency of the silver nations
with which the Northwest trades.
The question has ceased to be
one of partisan politics. It has be-
come one of economic Importance
to the future industrial activities
in this state.
Payrolls must be restored 1t
there is to be q return of pros
perity, but until the rest of the ma
