NEW MERCHANT
TELLS CLUB OF
IMPRESSIONS
Town Needs Cooperation and
People Need to be Res0ld
in Opinion of Glenn H. Utz
in Club Paper

Declaring that Kennewick peo-
pie must be "sold" on Kennewick
and that a prosperous farming
area roundabout are the two
things most necessary for the es-
tablishment of prosperous COM
munity, Glenn H. Utz, Kennewick's
newest merchant, delivered pa
per before the members of the
Chamber Of Commerce at today's
regular meeting at Plowman's.
Mr.. Utz' paper carried several
constructive suggestions for the
community betterment, and gave
his impressions of our district, as
newcomer in our community life.
Stressing, somewhat, the need for
better cooperation among the Ken
newick bushes men, he also call
ed attention to several of our
short comings.
Working out the details OF the
community's relief program Mr..
Moulton and Mayor Anon out
lined activities and it was the OPP
inion of the Chamber that the mat
ter was being well and ably hand
ed. This committee also stressed
the need for more short time jobs,
at which the unemployed might be
put to work.
E. C. Smith, as chairman OF a
committee which has been working
on a plan for having the local
aviation field lighted by the gov
eminent as an emergency landing
field made q report to the club,
Further activity was requested
from his committee.
For the first time, perhaps, in
the history of the organization 9
motion was lost. 1t was moved, IN
view of the fact that the matter
comes before congress tomorrow
that the club go on record as OPP
posing the excise tax on automo-
biles. Inasmuch as most OF the
members were not acquainted with
the provisions of the emergency
bill, and desiring more time IN
which to consider it no action was
taken.

DIRECTORS IN
PREDICAMENT
Richland Officers Have
No One to Accept Res
ignations on Board

Richland Irrigation district is in
"picklement." And, for that mat
ter so are the directors, even tho
they have resigned. Following a
recent election, the two hold-over
members of the board, w. A.
Stockman and w. C. Mc1nnis, sent
in their designations to the secre-
tary of the district, leaving the
organization with no one to act
officially.
Now the question, or several of
them, as matter Of fact, arise.
Can a director resign, when there
is no longer board to accept the
resignation? Or, having resigned,
must he remain as a director I'M
til his successor has been elected
and has qualified? Or, even tho
he has resigned, at what stage
does his bonding company become
released?
A. difference of opinion is what
makes boss races and keeps the
lawyers busy-to say nothing of
the lawmakers. Having resigned to
the secretary of the district only,
when the county commissioners
are empowered to fill the vacan-
cies, must the directors wishing to
quit resign to the commissioners
also. Or what-and why?
In the meantime, no business
can be transacted by the district
until such time as the district &C
quires a complete set of directors.
Spring coming on and work, IN
the meantime, piling up.

CHAMBER AND
CITY CONSIDER
SHOW CLOSING
Both Bodies Express Resent
ment Over Closing Local
Movie; City Has License
Control

The resentment against the Lib
erty theatre which has been
smouldering since the local house
was closed during the holidays,
has broken out, both in the ses-
sions of the Chamber of Commerce
and the city council.
Last Thursday Milton Wright,
local manager for the Mercy chain
explained to the Chamber that the
house had become a losing propo-
sition and that with the co-opera-
ton of the Kennewick business
men the house at Pasco could be
made to pay its way. He also stat
ed that the local house would be
given renovation and would open
again when conditions justified the
move.
E. c. Smith replied that he was
sorry, of course, that the theatre
had lost money, and hoped that
the theatre was equally sorry for
him and the other business men in
town who also had been losing
money during the same period,
but who, nevertheless, were keep
ing open their establishments, TAX
ing their losses and hoping for
better times, and without a thot
of holding their trade through ar
rangements to coax the trade to
another town.
Mr.. Smith expressed the opin-
ion that a live theatre, showing
up-to-date films, was an asset to
a town and that if the Mercy chain
did not see fit to supply that need
that it became proper activity
for the Chamber to see if some
other outfit could be interested.
The same matter came before
the city council Tuesday night. In
asmuch as the theatres are icens-
ed under the city, an amendment
was considered by which the thea
tres permit to operate could be
suspended or cancelled in case of a
prolonged close. Resentment was
voiced as to the theatres attitude
toward Kennewick and the matter
was taken under further advise
ment.

TO BEAUTIFY
OLD GROUNDS
Garden Tracts Plot to Be
Planted to Trees; City
Cooperates

Way back in the 'S0's, when the
bulk of what was then the town Of
Kennewick was located between the
railroad tracks and the river, a
large, two-story school was built,
the grounds occupying a square
block. Several years ago, the
building, long occupied, was de-
molished. The grounds, barren as
a desert, have long been an eye
sore to the residents of the Gar
den Tracts. This block is now to
blossom as the rose"
Mayor Alfred Anon, one of the
residents of that section Of town
has had this block on his mind
for some time. This week he took
the mater up with the school board
which still holds the title to the
block, and has made arrangements
whereby the plot will be planted
to trees this spring and a star;
made toward parking the plot.
The city has agreed to remove
the rocks, pillow and level the plot
install a water system and talk,
care of the irrigating. The schoo
board will fence it, pay for tn,
water and supply the trees. Later
if the plan proves successful, tn,
ground will be planted to gras
and the place made a delightful
sight instead of the present eye
sore.

OLD ISSUES
! TO APPEAR
THIS FALL
Political Problems Still TO Be
Fought Over; Relief Legis-
latiOn to be Sought; Seek
Repeats, Too
BY JIMMIE K. BROWNE

Fears that the 1882 session Of
the Legislature will repeal the So
called Grange county unit power
bill are being heard here. Just why
the sponsors of that measure
should at this time feel almost
confident that it will be repealed
is hard to understand unless the
faction and bloc which demanded
its enactment now appreciates
that a tax conscious public will
have none of it. LID. =.
With the possible exception Of
the port district statutes never
before has there been placed upon
the law books of the state legis-
lative enactment which so wide
ly opens the doors to unlimited
taxation as does the power bill.
There is virtually no limit on It,
so that once brought into use, the
unfortunate property owners in
the district thus created will be
either driven out Of that section
Tor live to see their holdings con-
fiscated for taxes.
Because Of this fear Of repeal, a
well organized movement has been
started in various districts in the
state to invoke the provisions Of
the united power bin before 1888.
0vay IN vokiy,aa s.nr1ufv q Y,aove-
ment to create power unit, with
Frederick Benz of Toppenish, as
chairman of the committee, is very
active.
Snohomish county has one under
way with petitions being circulat-
ed while plans for similar action
have been laid in Whatcom, Ska
gifts and Spokane counties.

1t is of more than passing in
terest to watch the anxiety of the
sponsors of the power bin seek 20
get it in use. Recently two muni-
CAPABILITIES Of the state, Pullman
and Bremerton, one far from mum
icipal ownership and the other un-
the gates of two cities so control
led, have rejected proposals which
would have saddled upon them the
troubles similar to those Seattle
is now undergoing.
Seattle has sponsored another
new political organization, which
goes under the name "Everybody's
League" The new group has a
rather elaborate program. It starts
off like most of these blocs, with
a demand for tax reform, swings
from this to changes in laws gov
erning eminent domain commits
sioners in cities and the letting Of
contracts for public works; de-
mands an old age pension, would
reduce salaries of all public Off
Gals to not more than $4,000 a
year: would fix a minimum wage
for all labor, apparently settling
upon $4,000 as satisfactory max
imum; and plans to enter into the
political arena to get its program
into effect.

Vital need Of amendatory tar
iff legislation by congress is be-
ing forcibly brought home to the
local men of the Pacific North
west and the nation generally, by
Department Of Commerce reports
from Great Britain. Orders for
1000 tons Of coke have been plac-
ed in Durham County, England,
recently by American concerns.
These orders which are for the
Northern Range ports Of the Unit
ed States are said to be the direct
result Of the fall in value Of the
pound sterling in relation to the
dollar and there are indications
of further cargoes being booked
within the next few weeks.
Demand for legislation which
would provide for the readjustment
of the tariff to absorb, the differ
entail, caused by the value of
sterling and abolition Of the gold
standard, comes not only from the
coal operators, but also from the
pulp producers in the Northwest.
This infant industry is hard hit
by the fall in the pound sterling
and the abandonment in England,
Japan and Scandinavian counties
of the gold standard.
!
Oil men Of the nation are asking
for a tariff of 81 barrel on fuel
oil. This is awakening the coal
producers of the Pacific Slope. A
tariff at the same ratio on coal
would amount to 81 ton. Fuel
oil in the Pacific Northwest has
been a large factor in eliminating
the coal mines of the state from
the payroll production class.

three nights and 1t may be necessary
to stretch the championships to four
because of the big field.
