TAX RECEIPTS
EXCEED MARK
ANTICIPATED
Water Payments Also Are
Better Than Last Year; In
dications of Improvement
Are Generally Noted

Place any Interpretation you like
upon the following. They are facts
and if you have democratic lean
ings, take what solace you may
therefrom.
Monday being the last date upon
which to receive the tax discounts,
County Treasurer Harry Forsyth
reports that something over $10.-
600 was collected over the counter.
While this amount is a little under
the normal half-payment total
nevertheless, it was considered
more than the office expected to
receive.
The payments just received bring
the total tax collections for the
year to more than quarter of q
million dollars. They include, of
course, the $50, 900 payment just
made by the Union Pacific, which
paid its assessment in full, while
the N. p. has pungled up $500
which is the first half of its per-
sonal taxes. The real estate as
sessment is the first half of its
personal taxes. The real estate as
sessment, half of which must be
paid by June /, total about $780,
900.
Indicative Of the general situa-
ton here is the report made the
first Of the week by Manager E. j.
Brand of the Kennewick Irrigation
District. He is authority for the
statement that, in spite of the
fact that the per acre assessments
for water on the Highlands this
year are but $3.50 as compared
with STATS last year, the district
has collected more money this
year than they had year ago the
same time.
Secretary Maupin said today
that collections for the Columbia
district are considerably better
this year than last.
These facts are but indicative
Of the general situation thruout
the district. Brighter prospects are
in sight and a renewed hope is
causing a gradual revival Of act
ivities here similar to that which
is being reported from all sec
tions Of the country.

YAKIMA EAGLES
ROUT LOCALS
Clark, Evett and Hill Out;
Many Errors and UnfavOr-
able Weather Drawback

Next Sundays game here with
Wapato should be one Of the best
of the season. Wapato has the
same record as the locals, having
won four games and the team is
putting up some fine work.
This game will be the deciding
point in the first half of the
schedule, as win by the locals
will put them in undisputed first
place, while lose will tie with the
reservation players. 1t should be
a good game and Penny Terrell
predicts we will win-IF we get
enough runs.
Last Sundays Fungus with the
Yakima Eagles was a poor exhi-
bition of ball as the weather was
terrible. A special order has been
put in for fine day for Sunday
and the game promises to be a
good one.
Bill Hembree pitched for the
junior Columbia Legion league
team of Pasco Wednesday after
noon and won in game 4-3, when
Lester Brown, another Kennewick
boy drove in the winning run. Roy
Maddox also from Kennewick
helped the winners in the first
victory of the season. Maddox re-
ceived an injured leg which will
take him out of the game for a
while.

Fast Work

The presidents action in easing the
veterans regulations Tuesday may
be regarded as the first victory of
congress over the president. The law
makers had the executive in q tough
spot and he knew it, so he yielded
gracefully and took much Of the
wind out Of their sails by doing on
his own account what they had in
tended to force him into accepting.
Furthermore, the presidents po-
litical sagacity must be credited with
the fact that he saw this struggle
coming. Shortly after the new vet
Grams regulations were issued, he was
swamped with appeals for an easing
Of the restrictions and came to the
conclusion that he had been too
severe. So he announced that the
regulations would be revised to care
for those cases in which injustice
had been done. This work was in
progress when the senate rose up
and demanded that cuts in service
connected compensation payments be
limited to Is per cent.
The house, 1t was evident, was
willing to accept the amendment as
soon as it could do 50. The boys who
have been smarting under the ad-
ministration's whip were gleefully
waiting for the chance to show"
Roosevelt just who they were and
what authority they had.
But they never got the chance.
The president, by hurrying up the
work already In progress, beat them
to the punch.

not, it must be admitted that he is

A 4OO.Year Pension

The Mexican ministry OF finance is
considering abolishing the pension
which has been paid for four CEN
turtles to the descendants of Monte
yuma, famous emperor Of the old
Aztec empire: and this bit Of news
is an interesting footnote to one of
history's most romantic chapters.
After Cortez had consolidated the
Mexican conquest, the Spanish king
granted a perpetual pension to Mon
tezuna's descendants. A number OF
them later were raised to the nobil-
ity; In the late 18th century a Mexi-
can viceroy married Montezuma's
granddaughter and assumed the title
Of Count of Montezuma." And
through all the succeeding years the
pension has been paid. When Mex
leo won her independence, the Mex
lean government took over the re-
sponsibility.
Now Mexico is wondering If this
hasn't gone on long enough; and the
interesting thing to most Of us is the
realization that living relic Of the
Aztec empire still survives in modern
Mexico.
