A BANKS FIRST DUTY

Complaining holders of warrants, in
dignant at the refusal of banks to
cash them, are reminded by q national
authority that these are days when
it is well to emphasize once again
that banks and bankers do not deal
mainly in their own credit, but in the
credit of the community which they
serve. The bankers prime responsibility
is and always has been to his depos-
itors, and his secondary responsibility
is to his borrowers. Generally about
80 per cent of the average banks de-
positors merely have money in the
bank for safekeeping and for check
ing convenience, and only about 10
per cent are borrowers"
Garet Garrett writes in the Satur-
day Evening Post that for defending
a bank that had declined to loosen
up funds for the revival of industry
and business he was censured by local
Rotarians, who complained that the
bank was lacking in civic spirit; but
when he asked his critics, "What about
the bankers responsibility to his de-
positors?" the critics seemed n on
plussed, as that was consideration
that had not occurred to them. -Spo-

THE FORGOTTEN ROAD

One of the really necessary pieces
of road construction that the legisla-
ture and the highway department have
apparently forgotten, is the missing
link south from Vantage bridge to
White Bluffs. This is a distance of
about Is miles and most of the way
is very easy construction. There is a
trail being used for part of the dist
ance and the rest could be built at
no great expense.
Building this small stretch would
complete the great east of the noun
tains highway running from the Brit
ish Columbia line to Oregon and on
through California to Mexico. This
was the cherished project of the late
Samuel Hill, sometimes called the
father of good roads in Washington"
He called it the Every Day Highway
because it would be open to traffic the
year around.
This through road would be an i'm
portant route from the standpoint of
public defense and it has been strong
ly recommended by the war DEPART
ment. It might receive support from
the federal government as we'll as from
the state There is now an excellent
road from the B. G. border south
through Wenatchee as far as the
Vantage bridge.
This state has been no less than
prodigal in building wide straight thor
oughfares across the state from east
to west, and have actually thrown
away vast sums in Strengthening out
curves. At the same time we have
positively overlooked this important
project. Let us lose no time in making
up for past delinquencies and complete
this road. The state highway depart
ment acting with the federal govern
ment may be able to finance this small
piece of much needed road work out
of funds available from various sources
without legislative NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Food Budgets Planned
To Aid Needy Families

One of the many services which the
college of home economics is perform
ing is the preparation of a food bud
get to be used in the unemployment
relief work, announces Leila w. Hunt,
head of the division of foods and nu-
triton, Washington State College.
This budget can be used to deter
mine the amount of food needed by
any family of known composition. In
addition q sample budget has been
completed. Three children, ages 2, S,
and IL years, were considered in the
sample budget, explains Miss Hunt
A sample menu for one week has
been prepared. 1t includes the pro-
portion of foods for family of five,
for each meal in the week as we'll as
a complete summary of the total food
consumption. Costs, based on prices at
Pullman, are also included.
It is impossible to follow any food
budget explicitly, says Miss Hunt
However, the budget does show the
possibilities of an adequate and bal
anced diet at low cost. There are
many adaptions which can be worked
out and included in the proposed bud

GOLD DETHRoNED

Press Times dispatches first advised
the Occur d'Alene mining public of the
action of President Roosevelt in ar
ranging to have congress repeal the
single gold standard act.
This action will stun the vicious or
stupid advocates of the single gold
standard who have refused consistent
ly to face the facts. Our financial sys-
tenn has really been off the gold STAN
dard for more than five years, though
always vigorously denied by the gold
monomaniacs.
The national abandonment of the
single gold standard is, of course, an
unanswerable argument for the reha-
Utilization of silver. Friends of the lat
ter should redouble their efforts for
the free coinage of the white metal
at the statutory ratio of 16 to one.
There IS now no pretense of an argu-
ment against it-Wallace tIdahol

commodity groups must be considered
in choosing methods and in applying
them Marketing and other economic
conditions will change from time to
time and the application of the pro-
gram must be altered to meet the
changes. The hearings will keep Secrc-
tary Wallace and other administering
officers in touch with current and
changing situations.
Secretary Wallace points out that
the only respect in which he intends
to be dictator is to insist that farm
ers and others get together for full
understanding of the facts. The ap-
proach to the administration of the
farm act is to be one of careful
thought, careful planning, and proper
action to bring about the goal of in
creased buying power for agriculture,
rather than a break-neck, headlong
plunge into situation without proper
preparation. This does not mean the
goal will not be persistently sought.
It does mean, points out Director
Balmer that the goal cannot be
gained over night and that all groups
must be brought to face the facts
realistically, deal with them coopera-
lively, and help attain the goal"

Farm Heads Plan Formal
Hearing For Commodities

washington farm leaders represent
ing the wheat and dairy of the state
are now in Washington, D. c., holding
informal conferences with administra-
tors of the new farm act prior to call
ing the formal commodity hearings
specified in the law, announces F. E.
Balmer, director, agricultural extern
sion service, State College of WASH
ington. Presentation Of the wheat and
dairy situation in Washington precedes
the regular hearings where policies are
to be drafted for each commodity and
the possibilities for cutting acreage and
production explored.
FOLLOWING the appointment of ma
tional directors to supervise operations
of the act in each commodity, the first
step in the administration of the new
law will be hearings at which pro-
ducers, professors, distributors, and
consumers of farm products will be
represented. Before Secretary Wallace,
under the powers conferred upon him
by this act, issues any regulations, he
their suggestions and recommends
lions. The hearings will determine the
necessity of production or acreage con-
troll for a given commodity, the pro-
portion of reduction required, the best
method for accomplishing the reduce
ton, possibilities in trade agreements,
the necessity for processing tax, and
other factors involved.
Cooperation Vital
''The purpose of the commodity
hearings and subsequent course Of &C
ton is to enable producers and pro-
cessors to work together to the advan-
tage of both," explains Director Bal
mer. Producers and professors will be
given the opportunity to work together
to make adjustments in production and
prices that are fair to the producer,
harm no legitimate interest of the
professor, and maintain the just in
terest of the consumer. The normal
situation is one in which the producers
and professors, working together, are

edge and experience, and with the CEN
tralizing power of the government, use
that knowledge and experience in such
a way as to adjust production to con-
sumption intelligently and practically.
Hearings are necessary for each
commodity because the program must
be applied differently to different pro-
ducts. A method that might success
fully regulate production and increase
the price of wheat, might not accomp-
lish the same purpose for dairy pro-
ducts or hogs The individual charac-
teristics and needs of the different

A WORTHWHILE PROJECT

Those residents of this community who are in
terested in the future Of White Bluffs should
seriously consider the construction of park and
community hall.
Just what such project can mean is apparent
when visits nearby communities Of the state.
Prosser, with fine park and playground for chill
dren is justly proud of this civic attraction, and
visitors to this park are many during the summer
months That the citizens of Prosser have been
rewarded for their foresight in constructing this
park is plain to see Tourists and casual visitors
to Prosser are responsible for others visiting
there, and some volume of trade results, as we'll
as the pleasant impression left in the minds of
visitors.
The Wala Walla park is another example,
drawing many visitors from this valley; and other
communities of this section likewise profit by
their shady parks. Hartford possesses an attrac
tive spot in the center of town where those who
wish may picnic or rest.
IF White Bluffs is to look to the future the resi-
dents should consider this project.

HAND OUT PLATES

Harry Huse, state director of Ncenses,
is right in his belief that automobile
plates should be handed out directly
by county auditors.
1t would save $4,000 in postage, he
says. That, in itself, certainly would
justify the plan.
It would be a convenience for mo-
florists. That's lot

of checking cars for new licenses. The

GROUP URGES TAX PAYMENTS

Adoption of the state tax commissions plea
for immediate payment Of current taxes would
do much to relieve the warrant situation and to
halt the growing depreciation of governmental
credits.
While it is commonly accepted as truth that
taxes are too high and should be brought down
to a reasonable level, unpaid taxes will do much
to bring discredit on municipality or govern
mental agency.
It is hard for some people to raise the money
at this time necessary to pay their taxes, but the
major portion Of unpaid taxes is apparently at
tributed not to those who cannot pay but to those
who take advantage of such situation and, while
financially able to pay taxes excuse themselves
on the plea that taxes too high, and since 9th
ers unable to pay, they can let the matter
slide.
If those who are able would pay their taxes
interest costs would be materially reduced, war
rants would be readily accepted by the banks
and the governmental departments, in turn would
be able to save part of their budgets through
prompt payment for supplies and labor.
The municipalities of Chicago, Seattle, and 9th
ers are glaring examples of what non-payment
of taxes can mean to the citizens of city or state

THE UNFINISHED LINK

With nearly two years intervening before the
legislature again convenes, hope for the construc
ton of the remaining link of the North-South
highway must rest with the highway department
and the plan to get funds from the state and fed
eral governments for needed public works pro-
jects.
This means that action must be taken soon, and
pressure brought to bear that the department will
see the necessity of this road.
AS long as this link is left unfinished farmers
of this valley will be at disadvantage in market
ing the surplus Of their early produce The saying,
carrying Goals to Newcastle'' is only too apple
able in this case We have good roads between this
valley and Yakima and Kennewick. But they only
force into direct competition with those dis
tricts whose products ripen at practically the
same time as ours, or who have need Of the
products we grow To the north lie the later dis
tricts untapped, because there is no road. Better
prices an additional source of income and greater
satisfaction will be the lot Of Priest Rapids Valley
farmers when the connecting link between them
selves and this promising market is forged.

ent county stickers is stamped date
that can be read only on close inspec-

And the proposed system would be
even less work than the present plan.
It is just as easy to hand out metal
plate as a piece of paper. Then that
would be the end of it. No red tape,
no more delay.
II county auditors approve, Director
Huse will put the plan in effect this
year. It is hard to find a single good
reason for disapproval. ~ Spokane
