hopes for Cuba's future. and men,

Municipal Relief
Bill Went Through
Senate Yesterday
Four Hours of Debate in Which the Towns We're Re-

Democrats Helped Put It Over in the Senate

Goldstein tried to amend the bill
SO that the state would issue $15,-
100000 in bonds for relief and
finance them with 1 per cent
gross sales tax. This was defeated,
as was his amendment to remove
the receivership clause. Senator
Hagearty offered an amendment
under which cities with indebted
ness below 5 per cent of the grand
list could issue bonds without au-
thority of the relief commission.
This too was defeated.
The bill was still on the senate
table to-day, but there was no
likelihood that it would be recon-
sidered.

Concentrating on Early
Fruit at KenileWick

gradually transformed from an apple
producing section to an early fruit
country. Growers there estimate that
between 5000 to 10000 apple trees have
been pulled this, winter from sli-s O.. O.
chards on the Highlands section and
the grounl will be planted, it is said,
with such early crops as asparagus,
strawberries, pears, grapes and other
soft fruits
Approximately 200 acres of new as
paragus ground are to be brought into
bearing this year, according to H. W..
Desgranes, Big Y manager at Kenne-
wick, as reported in the Kennewick
Courier-Reporter.
It is anticipated that asparagus
planting will continue and the Kenne-
wick growers are hopeful that they will
get cannery to locate there to care
for the asparagus not sold on the fresh
grass market.

New Law Would Permit
Settlement of Tax Case

Prospects for an early adjustment of
the so-called railroad tax cases are
looming brighter. A bill authorizing
county commissioners to mabe such
settlements passed the house in the
state legislature Monday by vote of
95 to 2. 1t had previously been passed
by the senate with only one dissenting
vote. The bill has been sent to Govern
or Martin and it is expected he will
sign it.
Negotiations for settlement between
the Northern Pacific and the county
commissioners for the various counties
affected were halted about month ago
when Seattle resident INTERVIEWED in
the case, setting up as one of his OBJ
jections the allegation that the county
commissioners did not have the legal
authority to make such settlements.
At hearing in the Federal court in
Spokane, Judge Webster ruled against
the intervenor on that question but the
railroad refused to continue the nego-
tiations until a law was enacted spec
ifically authorizing the county commits
sioners to make the adjustments. The
bill that has just passed both houses
of the legislature was then prepared.
1t is expected that the settlement OF
the tax cases will proceed as soon as
the new law, if it receives the govern
or's approval, becomes operative.

T. B, Can Be Prevented
Says Visiting Nurse

Work of the tuberculosis League
which Miss Lois Watkins of Seattle is
now representing in visits to schools
of Benton county is made possible by
the annual Christmas seals sale, ac-
cording to Mrs. D. S.. Wilkinson, local
chairman.
Miss Watkins, VINO directs the health
education program for the Benton
County tuberculosis League, visited
the White Bluffs schools last Thursday
and will return March to talk to the
members of the Junior Women's club.
Much of the value of the work lies
in making second and third visits to
the schools, to check growth and gains
of the children and to secure the con-
tinued cooperation of the teachers and
parents in the health education pro-
gram Miss Watkins says.
EVERY case of tuberculosis can be
prevented. tuberculosis which is re-
sponsible for more loss of health among
young people from IS to 80 years of
age than any other disease, must be
subdued just as diphtheria, small pox,
and other preventable diseases have
BEEN Miss Watkins continued, in ex-
planning the need for the continued
fight against tuberculosis.
The real cause of the disease is a
germ. Carelessness of some member OF
the family who has the disease will re-
suit in the infection of the other men,
bers of the family, young children par
ticularly. tuberculosis is not inherited
The purpose of the educational pro-
gram which is sponsored by the Ben
ton County tuberculosis League is to
Keep the well child we'll" There must
be no lessening of the zeal in the mat
ter Of intoxicating health habits among
children, even during the depression.

Prosser Man Brings
Suit to Cancel Taxes

Suit has been filed by Attorney Geo.
o. Beardsley representing Chester Nc
Donald, owner of Cherry Lane ORCH
ards, seeking to have the assessment
values of property reduced approx
mately so percent for years 1880 and
1881, according to the Prosser Record
Bulletin. Mcdonald said $946 in taxes
under protest and he is now seeking to
recover $500, which he claims will make
the assessed valuations for the years
in dispute in harmony with the 1882
basis which was made voluntarily by
the county assessor. Other lands have
been assigned to Mcdonald for the pur-
pose of this suit.
"This is an attempt to put the taxes
on basis where the owner is able to
pay. 1t will mean the county will get
the taxes and the owner will keep his
land" said Beardsley, as quoted in the
Prosser paper.
Similar suits, 1t is said, are expected
to be filed for the same purpose, ana
every property owner in the county will
watch theoutcome with interest.

Prosser May Lose
Experiment S t a t i o n

Failure of Ex-Governor Hartley to
include an item in his budget for the
biennium, for the operation of the ir-
rigation experiment station at Prosser,
may cause the closing of the station.
The county seat folks and others inter-
ested in the project are making efforts
to persuade the legislature to make the
necessary appropriations to carry on
the work. 1t is generally felt in this
section that the information obtained
by the station is important enough to
the irrigation farmer to justify the
continuance of the station and it is
hoped the legislature will appropriate
the necessary funds.
