Schubert Club Starts
Fall Practice Season

The Shubert club under the di-
rection of Walter Stauffacher has
selected a musical production for
presentation to the public for the
coming season. The musical play
chosen is called "Daniel Boone"
written in 1881 by Godfrey T.
Morgan and Samuel Richard
Gainis, making this one of the
later and more modern plays of its
type. All the scenes and incidents
of the story are historically cor
rect, authenticated by reference to
historical fact and set to music of
the kind that the boys will be
whistling on the street next day.
The girls, too, will be found wash
ing dishes and swinging brooms
to the rhythmic swing of its Tilt
ing tunes. The songs of the rion-
GERS, the love songs of the maid
ems. Indians and woodsmen make
this a charming and entertaining
play.
The musical scores haze been or /.
dered by air mail from Poston and
the cast will begin work rext
Tuesday. An earnest effort will be
made by the entire membership of
the organization to give the COM
muDlty a probation which they
will be pleased to have attended.

Valuations Increased
To Keep Within Limit

To keep within the five mill limit
allowed by the state for tax
levying purposes under the new
40-mill limit law, the tax board
has increased the valuations of all
counties The increase amounted
to $1S7, 900 in Benton county more
than that set by the county assess
or. Mr.. Forsyth thinks that mas
much as the tax ratio has already
been set that the state will have
difficulty in making the increase
stick.
The state is being hard put to
keep within the limitations espec-
tally since the valuation of the
states largest taxpayers has been
cut an average of sixteen percent.
The railroads thru Benton county
have been allowed that reduction
on their valuations, as a result of
the recent Webster decision in the
delinquent railroad tax cases.

We have just now accomplished

SOME HEDGE -.
ON SIGNINGOF
BLUE RIBBON
Business Firms Which Have
No Code Sign Compliance
Without the Agreement; Is
Not Legal

Virtually $4,000 business firms
of Washington, Montana and Wy
oming have signed the Presidents
agreement, bringing approximately
225,000 workers under the Blue
Eagle, it is shown by weekend
compilations in the office of Dis
trict Manager Shirl H. Blalock.
For Washington the total is 3d.
900 agreements signed, Montana,
$500, and Wyoming 1000. Seattle
shows more than 10000 agree
ments, Tacoma about 1000 and
Spokane more than 5000.
The rate at which the district
office is now receiving agree
ments has declined from an aver
age of about 500 daily for the
first half of September to little
more than 100 daily.
A peculiar phase Of the situa-
ton is revealed in receipt by the
district office of some $500 more
certificates of compliance than
signed copies of the Presidents
agreement.
1t is pointed out by District
Manager Blalock that the signed
compliance certificate has little or
no significance in the absence Of
an approved code without the or
ganization having signed the Pres
ident's agreement. Firms under
such circumstances having not
signed the agreement must remain
in the status of not operating un-
der the Blue Eagle, he declares.

n;str;ct Plans to Retire Old
Bonds with New Issue at
Lower Figure and Interest
Rates; Overhead Reduced

Response to the appeal mace
,,s. week to the farmers to ask
a .as; from the RFC was immedl-
ate. apparently. Word was recelv-
a 81 bu the district this morning
that an appraiser would be sent
ant mt from Washington, DC: at once
n 90 over the system with a view
tn making the loan to the district.
The Columbia district has an
outstanding bond issue OF S529,-
GOO. largely held by the Benton
County Columbia Co., a holding
company. Under present conditions
manv of the bondholders would
nrefer to take a reduction in cash
for their bonds. Inasmuch as the
Federal Reconstruction Corpora
tion is set UP for that very pur-
nose il has been determined to ask
for a sufficient amount from that
fnnd to make cash settlement
with the present bondholders.
The appeal last week was for
the purpose of getting action from
Washington to get the project un-
derway so that negotiations could
be- carried on with the bond hold
ers. At present no agreement has
been made as to the amount they
would accept in settlement, but it
is understood that a substantial
reduction would be made.
Should an agreement of this sort
be completed it would mean tina.
the district would save, not alone
the reduction but also a cut in the
interest rates. The reduction in the
district overhead costs would be of
vast help to the landowners under
the ditch.
Apparently the prompt action at
Washington has gotten the depart
ment to consider the local situa-
ton. Word that the appraiser will
be here soon seems to indicate that
fact. -. 49,. T.
Of course there is a chance that
the appraiser will not recommend
an amount which will be satisfact-
ory to the bond holders. Another
angle to be considered in the stu
/, alton is that even should the
amount be sufficient to interest
the present bondholders there is
the possibility that the landowners
would fail to ratify it.
However, the situation concern
ing some sort of settlement looks
favorable to the directors and the
representatives of the bondholders
organization. W. M. Coble, secre-
tary Of the Benton County Colum-
bia Co., in company with Ira T.
Walker, president, were in Kenne-
wick the first of the week. Mr..
Coble made an inspection trip over
the canal property and some of
the lands in the lower end of the
district. He and Mr.. Walker also
checked up the districts books
with the county treasurer at Pros
ser. ..-...-.-''
:, Mr.. Coble stated that the hold
ing company felt that their secur-
itles in this district were in as good
condition as any over which they
held control.
