Cutting Expenses

Just as in a period of prosperity
every family spends more than is
really necessary to it's bare mainte-
nance, so in easy times the Govern
ment spends more than its bare ne
cessities require. And just as IN a
period Of limited income every fam
lily reduces its expenditures to its
necessities, so in similar period,
under wise leadership, the Govern
ment cuts its costs to the sum nee
essary to carry on its necessary
work. <4

The addition of superphosphate to
manure prevents loss of nitrogen.
one of the most valuable fertilizing
elements in manure. Manure not
properly stored and kept moist will
soon lose much of it's nitrogen. Su-
perphosphate preserves the nitrogen
and adds needed phosphate. The U.
S. Department of Agriculture ad-
vises adding superphosphate to the
manure in the cutters in the barn
at the rate of ! pound a day for each
adult animal. If the manure is stor-
ed, add it at the rate of 40 to 60
pounds to a ton of manure.

SUMMERS DESERVES A GOOD VOTE

In addition to his other accomplishments
number of which listed in another column of
the Spokesman there are some very good local
reasons why Congressman j. w. Summers should
receive good vote in this valley in the primary
election
About two years ago, when the irrigation dis
trct was struggling hard to get itself in shape to
save the irrigation project for the people in the
valley, MIR. Summers instrumental in arrang
ing conference between the district directors and
W. FL. Bashore, at that time connected with the
u S. Reclamation Service. AS a result of this con-
ference, Mr. Bashore came here and inspected the
project and gave help, information and advice
that has proved of inestimable value. Without
Mr. Summers interceding it is doubtful if this
ference could have been held.
There have been other occasions, some of which
will be readily remembered when Mr.. Summers
help sought and he responded gladly and eff
fectively. None of his constituents ever appealed
to him who was not given hearing and, where
the proposal was meritorious, results were nvar-
iably obtained.
We are not always successful in getting public
officials like Congressman Summers who give such
general satisfaction and when we do let's keep
them.

THREE FRIENDS OF THIS DISTRICT

AS the primary election draws near, the import
ance Of the men who will represent this district in
the next state legislature is becoming more and
apparent
Particularly is this true for residents of this part
of Benton county.
The construction of north and south highway
the state has passed the preliminary stages
and move is now underway to have it adopted as
part of the state highway system The route
known as the North Bank Highway has already
been taken by the state from Vancouver,
Washington, up as far as Maryhi]l and it seems
probable that at the next session of the leg
islature this winter it will be extended up the riv-
from MaIyhill, at least as far as kenneWck and
possibly to Vantage
There is difference of opinion as to the route
that should be followed from Kemewick to Van
tage. PascO and Franklin county want the road to
cross the Columbia on the -Kemewick
bridge and follow up the east side of the river to
Vantage The residents of Benton county would
like to see it continued up the west side of the
river through Richland Hanford and White
Bluffs.
The four counties of Franklin, Benton Kick
itat, and Skamania are in one Legislative dis
trct This district is entitled to one state senator
and two state representatives In the primary
election there will be two candidates for senator
on the Republican ticket G. r. Stinson of Pasco
and George f. Christensen of Stevenson in Ska
mania county. Both are former state senator's.
Senator stinson. if elected he will be fair to
both counties on the north and south highway and
will favor the most practical route. But he lives in
Pasco Senator Christensen has definitely
mitted himself to having the route extended north
from Kenewick through Richland, Hanford and
White Bluffs to Vantage and, if elected, he says
that he will do everything in his power to have
it so located when it is taken over by the state
Assisting him in this effort will be George O.
Beardsley of Prosser and w. K. Reader of Roose-
welt in Klicl1itat county if they elected. Both
candidates for the republican nomination for
state representative.
For their stand on this issue alone these three
men should and no doubt will receive large vote
here in the primary. Remember the three names,
George r. Christensen for state senator and
George O. Beardsley and w. K. Reader for state
representatives.

Congressman ]. w. Summers

Representative Summers has sup
ported all constructive legislation of a
Nationwide scope during the years he
has been in Congress.
He wrote and piloted through Con-
gress the Shipping Point Inspection
Law under which yearly shipments of
about 100000 cars of fruits and vege-
tables are made. This law saves grow
ers shippers and consumers many mil
lion dollars annually. Federal grades
for fruits, vegetables, and alfalfa are
also established under this law
Father of the Farm Products Quar-
antine Law that protects the farmers
and markets from destructive outside
infestations. This law is vital to agri-
culture throughout the country.
Joint author of the Summers-Bor
Fair Dealing Bill for the protection of
farmers, consumers and shippers.
Joint author of the JONES' Summers
40 year Repayment Reclamation Bill;
supported the liberalized Federal Land
Bank Law and other legislation.
Reduced freight rates; protection of
our standard apple box; numerous fruit
handling problems; lower priced grain
bags, prevention of dust explosions and
farm fires; dairy and poultry prob
lens; farm to market roads; protec-
ton and utilization of national forests:
Federal aid highways and free bridges;
Al Club work and Smith Hughes vo-
cational training in our schools; the
better mail service; restricted immigrs

ate are without opposition in their
own party in their districts, Horace
Smith, Oliver Hall, Arthur E. Cox, j
C. Hubbell Charles w. Hall, Fred Nor
man, Ray Jacobus, Fred w. Hastings
r. R. Knapp, R. A. Stuart, w. Mize
M. B. Mitchell and E. L. Howard.
Of these, Hubbell, Knapp, a former
speaker; Mitchell and Howard have
served in the House The others served
in the 1881 Senate
There are several "bracketcd" Re-
publicans without Democratic OPPOSE
ton so that the nomination virtually
assures election. Smith is without any
opposition, either Democratic or Re-
publican. Senators Gray and Meyers
battling for the nomination are with
out Democratic opposition; Morthland
and j. j. Crawford in Yakima have
no Democratic opponents; Christensen
and Stinson, and Knutson and Hay
ton are similarly situated.
There is very little if any possibility
of the Democrats upsetting the control
of either the House or the Senate this
year after an analysis of the filings is
made.
The real danger lies in the fact that
the radical and uncertain demogogic
type of candidate may be able to con-
vince enough people to nominate and
elect him to create q bloc of this type
of votes which will seek unwise and
unnecessary legislation of a more or
less state socialistic nature.
In King county the filings have been
unusually heavy with "a House men,
bers and eight new state senators to
be elected
One secret of the heavy filings is
| to be found in the fact that there is
pending constitutional amendment
which will pay to the members OF the
legislature $500 a year salary. This
salary in these days of economic stress
is something which many will battle
royalty for.
However, the voters have not yet had
a chance at the amendment. Once
before they Waded into similar salary
proposal and slaughtered it. AS a mat
ter of justice, the members should be
paid more than their fiat SIS per diem,
even with the cost of living scaled
down as low as it is at this time.

Tax collections in the state have
been on steady decline since 1928.
Records at the state department of
efficiency show this. Collections in every
county in the state have fallen off in
percentage, as high as AZ per cent in
some places The average decline is
around nine per cent.
The year ending December 81, 1881.
found only 71.2 per cent of the taxes
levied, collected. The year ending De-
cember 81, 1929 has but $75 ,463 ,007 SO
collected of the 1913 1851 ,53757 levied, or
a collection of but 80.8 per cent.
The percentage of collections in 1880
found but 1876 per cent of the total
assessment, $97,887, 1903 collected, or
SIT DOL ,44696 Then in 1881 collections
dropped to 71.2 and are still on the
decline
This decline in tax collections means
that the taxpayers of the state are
going rapidly into the red, as there is
not taxing unit but which estimates
total revenues and then starts in
spending without waiting to determine
whether the funds will be collected
This is one reason why there are so
many uncashable county warrants
floating around the state drawing a
heavy rate of interest, which must be
also raised and paid.
