Beer, or no beer! Ana, that is the


Beer, or no beer! All, that is the
question:
Sanctioned by the democratic
congress which changed the al
coholic content from less than
point five to three point-two in
its liquor law, ordered by the state
which threw off all state control
at the last election, retailers in
Kennewick run smack up against
puny town ordinance which APP
parently forbids the sale of any
kind of beverage with an alco-
holic content of whatever degreel
This law was enacted in 1926
and has been consistently violated
since, as nearly every fruit juice
flavor, buttermilk and other
drinks contain some traces of al
cohol. However, rumors are to the
effect that should a dealer at
tempt to retail the new brew to-
morrow a warrant will be secured
and arrests will follow.
The law, apparently, is now con-
sidered passe and the city council
has been called in special session
this evening to consider its repeal.
Should the council agree, first and
second readings may be given.
Final passage must be given at a
regular meeting, following which
it may become effective five days
after publication, which would
make the earliest possible date to
legally buy beer on April 25.
In the meantime, dealers are in
quandary as to whether a strict
Interpretation of the existing
laws, with which the present ordi-
nance is in conflict, would release
them of guilt in violation or take
a chance and carry the case into
the courts is still undecided.
After sitting the beer question
at a recent meeting the Benton
county commissioners have tenta-
lively decided to adopt no beer
regulations Immediately. Commits
sioner Jay Perry said the board
discussed the issue for several
hours with Prosecutor Charles L.
Powell without finding a way to
take definite action.
Powell declared it was doubtful
if counties had the power to reg
ulate beer although he quoted a
statement Of the Spokane prosecut-
or to the contrary.
1t was finally decided that q
waiting game" on beer would be
advisable, and that after the courts
had made decisions or the powers
of counties had been defined that
action, if required, could be taken.

DISTRIBUTION
SYSTEM DONE
ON HIGHLANDS
Federal Men Complete Their
Work; District to Add
More if Money is Available
New Land Covered

The construction of the distribu-
ton system under the Highlands
plant is virtually completed, inso-
far as the reclamation department
is concerned. The closing of the
work here this week, which has
been under way for the past few
weeks, completes the expenditure
of the appropriation secured from
the government couple of years
ago.
While the federal men are leav-
ing the district, having cleaned up
the money available in the fund,
the, district is planning to carry on
the remainder of the work. Efforts
are being made to secure an ap-
preparation from the states rec
lamation fund, which was made
available for the purpose by the
last session of the legislature. This
money will be loaned to the dis
trict at two percent and will be
used to complete the projects
main distribution system.
The extension of the laterals
will bring much new land under
water and the rehabilitation of the
plant will make available more wa
ter to each of the tracts.
In addition to the districts ex-
tensions, local settlers are also TAX
ing advantage Of the better water
supply and several have installed
new pipe lines and improved their
former systems.
w. F. Sonderman, pioneer set
tier on the Kennewick Highlands
has put in this spring 1860 linear
feet of four and six-inch concrete
pipe line on his home place, bring
ing under irrigation IL acres of
new land which has never been un-
der cultivation on account of the
scarcity of water.
Art Glasow, also of the High
lands, has replaced 500 linear feet
of old flume with six-inch con-
crete pipe and plans to conserve
all the extra water he is allowed
this year. Many of the farmers in
the valley and on the Highlands
are busy this spring replacing
parts of pipe line with new or re-
placing entirely with pipe, accord
ing to a report given this paper
today by the Reese Pipe company.

WEEK LEFT TO
FILE RETURNS
State Calls Attention to Pro-
visions of New Income Tax
Requirements

Only one week remains in which
to file state income tax returns,
members of the state tax commits
sion pointed out today as they pre-
pared to meet a last minute filing
rush. Approximately two-thirds Of
the anticipated number of returns
have been filed to-date.
To facilitate the solution of in
come tax problems, the commits
sion has established 16 field men in
key cities of the state with in
structions to appear in other cities
under schedule recently announc-
ed by the commission. Any taxpay-
er having an income tax return
problem may contact one of these
men through the county assessors
office or the nearest Chamber of
Commerce.
Cooperation of the public at
large in speeding the filing of re-
turns was solicited by Thomas S..
Hedges, manager of the commits
sion, in review of the progress
made thus far in the new laws
administration.
IF the taxpayer, when he is un-
certain of the status of any item,
either income or deduction, will
state all the circumstances frank
ly, the commission will give him
the benefit of any credit to which
he is entitled. He need not and
should not feel that he must tell
as little as possible to secure an
advantage. Indeed, the contrary is
true. The return that states fully
all the needed information is a
closed matter. The return that is
incomplete is the one which at
tracts attention and probable in
vestigation."
The commission again called the
public's attention to the group
which must file income tax re-
turns. 1t includes all persons who
have received a return blank di-
rectly from the commission with
out having requested it, all per-
sons having a gross income of
$500 or more, all single persons
having a net income of $500 or
more. all married persons having
a community net income of $1,750
or more, and all corporations.
Returns need not be filed by
single persons with net income
of less than $500, or by married
persons with a community net in
come of less than $1,75O, the COM
mission again pointed out in an
sWer to numerous queries.
