EXPERT FROM
w. S. G.. GIVES
FARM OUTLOOK
Growers of County Show In
terest at Three Meetings;
Indicate That Change Must
Come in Situation

Attendance at the three outlook
meetings held in the county last
week was good. These meetings
were conducted by r. M. Turner,
extension economist of the Wash
ington State College, and were
presided over by E. C. Durdle,
county agent, who makes the fol-
lowing report.
Mr.. Turner, first pointed out the
actual business and agricultural
situation over the last 15 to 20
year period, emphasizing particu-
larily the wide Disparity between
agricultural prices and industrial
and other commodity costs. The
large responsibility for the pres
ent agricultural situation accord
ing to Mr.. Turner was due to the
foreign situation and the necessity
of banks to liquidate to the point
at least where they could meet
calls from depositors. Mr.. Turner
gave very good discussion on
these points and space does not
permit Of enlargement on them at
this time. Mr.. Turner discussed the
steps which might be taken to cor
rect the situation, pointing out
that most of the economists in
this country leaned to some form
of initiation. Since this general
problem is one very closely relat-
ed to every individual in even the
most remote community, yet it is
important for us all to become
as filled with facts as possible.
Apparently legislation will be me-
cessary to correct the general con-
dition. Mr.. Turner felt that the
world economic conference, to be
called in London in the spring will
have q tremendous problem and
that each one should read every
thing possible and try to get
clear insight into the general sit
uation. According to Mr.. Turner,
no definite steps have yet been
taken to prevent reoccurrance Of
this same situation in another Is
to 25-year period. He is of the op-
inion however, that much can be
done if definite thought will be
given to it.
Individual farm adjustments
were discussed as they affect the
individual farmer. The groups at

City to Construct
Drainage System

Partly as a relief measure but
mostly because it is becoming
more and more necessary, the city
has started construction of q line
of drainage to handle the seepage
water north of the railroad tracks.
The trunk line will run from the
river bank south on Everett North
to the right of way of the state
highway. 1t is hoped that this line
will aid greatly in draining that
area Of the water which annually
fills the cellars in that district. If
necessary, later branch lines. will
be installed.

PROTEST. SALE
OF LIQUOR IN
DRUG STORES
Council Petiti0ned to Not Pass
Amendment Permitting Lo-
cal Druggists to Handle
Prescription Whiskey

A protest against the sale by
local drug stores of whiskey for
medicinal purposes was presented
to the city council Tuesday night.
The petition, signed by Lee Lamp
son, as chairman, stated that it
was the unanimous and united re-
quests of approximately 100 cit
liens, that the amendment legal
iZing sale be not passed.
The petition follows: 1t is gen.
eral knowledge that at your next
meeting an amendment to one of
the city ordinances is to be voted
upon by your body. This amend
ment will allow the legal sale of
intoxicating liquor in Kennewick's
drug stores. The present ordin-
ance, as is, prohibits such sale.
We know that every councilman
is interested in promoting the best
interests Of his community, and
that he would appreciate an ex-
preston from a representative
body of citizens upon the proposed
amendment. Acting upon these
convictions, we, approximately 100
of the citizens of the community
of Kennewick, do herein present
our unanimous and united request
that each and every councilman
vote to uphold the present ordin-
ance, and to defeat the proposed
amendment.
LIT is felt by the citizens urging
this action that the welfare of
the young people of the community
as well as that of the citizenry at
large, would be seriously leopard
lied by the legal sale of liquor.
We trust the councilmen will join
with the citizens of Kennewick in
curbing this, as well as all future
efforts Of the liquor traffic to es-
tablish itself within our city.
Under the federal restrictions
concerning the sale of liquor, the
council, at the time the amend
ment was proposed, felt that no
concession as being made in the
matter of liquor traffic. The fed
eral requirements were strict
enough so that promiscuous sale
was impossible and that sale of
any kind was only upon a pre-
scription from physician.

LEVY rs CUT;
WORK KEPT UP;
MONEY is LEFT
Road Districts $50 Miles of
Roads in Good Shape in
Spite of Lowered Levy and
Valuations; Cash Left

Collection and distribution of
tax money is receiving more than
usual attention at the present
time, and many are the plans for
state road money. One PROPOSE
reallocation of the county and
ton seems to have found almost
universal favor thruout the state
in this regard. 1t is generally as
sumed that the district road levies
will be abolished and the state as
sumo the entire road building and
maintenance costs. While in many
cases this levy against property
is a heavy one, Benton county has
for years been hit lightly, compar-
atively.
County commissioners, under
the present law, are permitted to
levy ten mills for road district
purposes. This money is to be
spent on local roads, while the
state has maintained the primary
roads, and the principal farm-to-
market roads thru the ALLEGATION
of the gas tax money. The latter
are built and maintained by the
county officials while the former
is controlled entirely by the state.
Road district No. 8, in this end
of the county, has never levied
more than six mills for road pur-
poses. This was in 1919, however,
when valuations were consider
ably higher than at present. Since
that time, with more a n d more
work being done each year, the
levies for keeping the districts
350-odd miles of roads in shape
has steadily declined, until for the
present year it is but three mills,
and a much lessened land valua-
ton.
This district now has So miles of
improved oiled highway, all of
which, save the old road to Pros
ser, has been done within the past
two years. Regular maintenance
and improvements on the second
airy roads has also been kept up
during that period and the new
commissioner starts his term with
a carry-over credit of unexpended
road money of about $4,000.
While Benton countyts road lev
les have been among the lowest
in the state, if the present legis-
lature lives up to its prediction
promisee, even this tax will be
removed from the land and the
money derived from gas-tax will
be used to maintain all the roads,
whether state or county.

evening. ~,
Unlike the so-called "Showalter
BillsD of the 1929 and 1881 ses-
sio1s of the legislature, this new
neasude involves only the admin
istration of financial support,
making no change in present
county school administration.
Neither does it concern itself with
the problem of finding a new
source of revenue to make up the
school revenues cut off by the 40
mill limit bill.
The purpose Of the bill is not
to increase school expenditures
but to shift part of them from the
school district to the state. The
effect of the 4O-mill limit bill was
to leave most of the school burden
on the back of the state for the.
equalization of both school oppor-
tunity and the burden of school
support.
The bill was prepared by an adj
visory council on education legis-
lation under the leadership of
State Superintendent N. d. Sho-
walter. This council is a newly
formed alliance of state organiza-
tions concerned with or especially
interested in education. 1t includes
the Washington State School Di-
rectors' Association, Directors of

ers, Washington State Grange,

OVERLOOKED

Much excellent material for the
city council, chamber OF commerce
and other civic offices, is being
neglected when we overlook our
Wrangell young men for these posi-
lions.
Each year one OF the younger
men should be broken in to a knowl-
edge of city council duties and re-
sponsibilities by working with older
and more experienced men. Wran-
CELL has a number of young men be-
tween rs and 80, who have grown
up here and are thus under the
disadvantage of having too many
people in town remember how cum
ming they were as babies.
1t is time they were looked upon
as men, not children, and some OF
their abundant energy and ability
put to work for the town.

Citizen" will be published as soon
as the writer makes known his
name. 1t does not need to be at
tached to the article when printed
but 1t must be known to the editor,
This is common newspaper custom.
So far as the Sentinel is concern
ed we believe that it is poor prac-
tise to print any communication in
which the writer's name is not
signed. For instance, an article
which appeared in last weeks Sen
tinel signed President, Wrangell
Non Taxpayers Union" has been
attributed, it would seem, to almost
every man in Wrangell except the
ministers. The article was submit
ted as piece of good-natured fun
at the expense of contributor in
the previous issue and was accepted
by him in the spirit in which it
was written.
We believe, however, that a small
town newspaper serves the town
better. as a general rule, when per-

ought to be called upon to endorse
some particular brand of cough
drops; on a cash basis however for
l am on diet and couldn't use

But to get back to the main is
sue; won't you all please act as ad-
vertising managers for me? Tell
everyone you see that they can't af-
ford to miss this unique musical
offering. Tell them, too, that we
are ''reaping in joy now with sweet
abandon and hope to be letting the
earth be glad" with equal ease
this time next week. There are
some rough spots to be finished off
on that number to say nothing of
the work to be done on our big
finale number. 1t is tremendous
piece of work and l know that you
will like it. Yes, you'll no doubt
recognize it as the finish for we
make our crashing climax very
emphatic both by volume and by
repetition of the "Alleluia Amen's".

By the way, my advice to you is,
take to the cellar about four o'clock
Saturday afternoon if noise upsets
you for l plan to have the entire
choir together at that hour for the
first time And l refuse to be re-
sponsible for the volume created by
that many enthusiastic vooalists.

We broke our rule against pub
fishing anonymous articles for the
first time last week when we gave
space to an unsigned article in
rhyme, Spring Tonic" The advice
it contained on civic duties was
something on which every citizen
needs reminding, and as it was de-
void of all personalities we felt
justified in breaking the rule. Be
sides this, while we could not posi-
lively identify the author, we did
recognize the stationery and the
typewriter used, and that, in itself,
constituted a signature of sorts.

MISS BRUNsvoLD CALLS
ATTENTION TO ORATORIO

Dear Wrangell Friends:
Before you forget it, folks, go
and put a big red circle around
April 16. Keep it free from social
entanglements and conflicting dates
for it's going to be big day in our
city. The oratorio Holy City will
be presented that evening in the A.
N. B. hall by a community choir OF
rs voices. 1t is undoubtedly the big
gest musical event ever undertaken
in Wrangell and L certainly hope
that capacity crowd will be on
hand to hear the efforts of six
weeks of really hard work.
| know that l haven't been an
easy taskmaster and | realize more
than anyone does that the MUSIC is
really difficult. In fact l think that
we ought to publish the musical
score before we sing it, so that you,
who, we hope will want to hear
the Holy City," will appreciate
our efforts. certainly think it is
a credit to a town of this size to
find so many folks interested in
putting on successfully, musical
work of this calibre. The attend
ance at practises has been very graf
flying and l wonder sometimes
how much longer everyone will be
so tolerant of my ''lets-go-over-that-
once-more" attitude. At present 1
am avoiding several singers rela-
tives for that very reason. 1t seems
kept quite a number of them
waiting at the mercy of the ele-
ments the other night and believe
there is a price on my head, even
now.
Anyway, we are getting along
nicely, thank you. 1 think we ought
to be pretty good by Easter myself.
My only fear is that l may wear
out the patience of my singers be-
fore the big night. Haven't you
noticed the recent trend towards
cough drops of all sizes and shapes?
That, no doubt, can be traced to my
tendency to overwork folks. Even
the sopranos make excellent bassos
