BIG CUT Is
COMING IN
LAND VALUES
Assessor Says Values Are No
Longer Present in Much of
Taxable Property; Tough
on Assessing Bodies

Lands in Benton County, for the
yeax, of 1882 are going to get a
big reduction in value, according
to an announcement made this
week by Harry Forsyth, county
treasurer. This is not due to any
action on the part of any tax re-
duction organization, but simply
due to the fact that the values are
not there, and under present condi-
tions, / believe they are entitled to
a cut. This is going to work a
hardship on some of the school
districts and in fact all taxing
bodies of the county, but they will
be compelled to lower their expend-
itures accordingly and get along
the best they can, because there is
no use levying taxes on property
beyond its ability to pay. This may
be- sad news for some, but it
should be good news to the land
owners. Benton county is in good
financial condition, no general OBJ
legation bond Indebtedness, outside
of the court house, and 40 percent
of these have been paid.

BIG PROBLEM
OF DIRECTORS
County Group Studies Various
Phases of School Problems;
Fristo and Hughes Elected
As State Delegates

Dale Smith gave a fine report
on the last directors state meet
ing at Olympia, to which he serv-
ed as delegate. Much of the time
at the state meeting was taken up
with the. .Showalter Bill, House Bill
No. IL, and other measures to come
before the legislature. With con-
siderable opposition the Showalter
Bill was finally approved. The
Income Tax Bill was also approx
ed, but House Bill No. IL was re-
jected. Mr.. Smith was proud of
the fact that our local president,
Mr.. Hughes, was elected Eastern
Vice-president Of the State Asso-
citation.
DR.. w. w. Brand gave fine
talk on public school athletics,
stressing the fine character and
moral training. He emphasized the
necessity Of having coach that
would be fine model for the boys
and said that the moral influence
of a good coach and athletic were
felt thruout the whole school, in
GLIDING the grades. In his check
up of boys who INDUCED in cigar
cites, poolrooms, wild joy-riding,
the peddling of booze, or other ju-
venile crime practically none had
gone thru athletics. Through the
sale of tickets, donations, etc, ath-
letics in his school district were
more than self-supporting.
f. j. Arnold gave a very able
and instructive talk on "The Re-
lation of Crime and Present So
cial Life to Education" We hope
to have a full review Of this i'm
portant subject published later.
In the round table talks surveys
Of Benton County school transpor-
tation costs and of teachers sal
aries, presented by the county SUI
perintendent, were discussed. In
the discussions c. w. Fristoe call
ed attention to diminishing rates
Of financial school support from
state and county and showed the
necessity and fairness of increas-
ed support from these sources.
c. w. Fristoe and H. S. Hughes
were elected delegates to the State
convention to be held in Yakima,
February 9 and 10.
ii. S. Hughes was reelected as
president Of our county associa-
ton, Dale Smith vice president and
Olaf Strandwold as secretary.

ter system covering the Highlands
and the Olmstead addition at a
special meeting last Friday eve
ming. The system will be operated
by the district from now on in
stead of by the separate organiza-
tion..
Considerable repair work is
needed on the system, as some Of
the patrons on the ends Of the
various laterals are unable, at GER
tain periods Of the year, to get
any pressure at all. Obsolete, in
efficient and work out pumps also
account for big economic waste
and these matters will be under
taken by the new management.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS MEET

About twenty people attended
the annual Benton County school
directors meeting held at Benton
City last Friday, according to q
report submitted by County School
Superintendent Olaf Strandwold.
The Benton City school orches-
ira, conducted by Miss Elizabeth
RAIDER, rendered several numbers,
and Dean and Margaret Hartman
played and sang. Lunch was serv-
ed by the Benton City Women's
Club in the Domestic Science room
in the school building.
H. S. Hughes, the president of
the association, in his opening adj
dress called attention to the d.
minishing tax returns and the diff
ficult financial situations facing
many of our school districts. Five
large districts in this county, tho
run economically and at present
requiring the maximum tax rate Of
twenty mills, will face additional
financial difficulties under next
years reduced valuations on land.
Many other districts have real fl
nancial problems and all need to
practice the strictest economy. Our
local and state associations have
real task before them to work
out some practical tax reform.
Harry Forsyth, our county as
sessor-treasurer stated that our
school finances depended largely
upon assessors valuations. Coun-
ties throughout the state are cut
ting land values from 10 to SO per-
cent. Counties surrounding Benton
county are cutting land values %
percent or more and the cut in this
county's land values will average
about 25 percent. Districts num-
bered 5, z, IL, TIA, 90, 81, 81, 81,
and 6 will take big reductions in
assessed valuations, as they have
no railroads and depend largely on
land valuations, which will be cut
about % percent. The Union Pa
cific Railway is paying its tax in
full without kick or tprotest, but
the other railway lines are pay
ing only SO percent without pro-
test, an additional % percent is
paid under protest, and the latter
may have to be refunded. The 9TH
er 25 percent may never be paid.
He went on to state that no popu-
lar tax has yet been found to take
the burden off the real and person
al property tax. Mr.. Forsyth here
took up and explained the segre-
cations of different property val
uations and the several tax rates
assessed.

Basket Ball Team Wins PEN
name; Base Ball Outlook Is
Bright for Coming Season;
School Team Looks Good

The spring-like weather follow
ing the spell of winter has given
indications of the fast approach
ing base ball season, and the fans
are beginning to cast around for
the years possibilities on the dia-
nond. As a matter Of fact, some
Of the more enthusiastic are be-
ginning to name names and talk
positions already. At any rate q
meeting will be called in the near
future to arrange plans for til e
season.
Kennewick's splendid record Of
last year is an encouraging fea-
ture for this years work. Tenta-
tive sinvitations have been receiv-
ed from both the upper and lower
valley leagues, and the question Of
which outfit to throw in with is
being discussed. The selection of
manager and the placing of the
players in jobs for the season is
also being worked out, preliminary
to the annual meeting.
The town basketball team has
come thru the season with a per-
feet record. beating each team in
the league both games. In fact, the
only game this team has lost has
been an extra game with the Pros
ser town team. The game with
iPasco last Saturday night, the
closing game of the season, was
the most exciting one Of the entire
series. Up until the last thirty sec
onds of the game, the railroaders
had the lead, starting off with a
string of about ten at the end of
the first half. In the last minute
of play Pasco had two chances to
score, with a lead of one point,
while the Kennewick boys man
aged to make their last try.
Following the close Of the bas-
ketball season, Coach Jacobs is
Hopping right over into the base
ball prospects in the high school.
He finds he has six lettermen and
score Of pretty fair freshmen
from which to build a ball team.
His list of prospects includes John
son and VanNiman, catchers; Neel
and Hembree, pitchers; Shanafelt
and O'Neil, first; Warnock and
Maddox. second; Carpenter and
Annis, short; GLASGOW and Harring-
ton, third. and Brown, Mechanism,
Rupp, Miller, Kennison, Kramer
and others to pick from for the
outfield. Prospects are bright for
a "bang-up" ball team to represent
Kennewick high school this spring,
