ELECTION LOSES
BY LESS THAN
ONE LONE VOTE
40.2 Percent of SIS Ballots Cast
Registered Against" PrOpOs-
ed Bond Issue; Another Elec-
ton Saturday

Probably the closest election ever
staged in this section of the state was
polled this afternoon in the proposed
school bond election. The against"
side on the proposition were success
full by one lone vote. One voter
changed would have carried the prop
osition.
Of the nine hundred odd eligible
voters SIS went to the polls. OF this
number S43 voted for the school inn
provement and 231 against it. As the
proposal required a sixty percent ma
jority, it failed by two tenths Of one
percent.
The proposition was for the issu-
ance Of $4,000 worth of district
bonds. This sum, together with the
federal aid, would have financed a
building large enough to house both
junior and senior high schools, allow
ing a consolidation Of the grades in
the present high school building. It
would also have provided for replac-
ing the present out-of-date and worm
out heating plant.
While CWA funds are withdrawn
at the present time, the proposal was
put up to the patrons of the district in
the expectation that either the CWA
or something similar would be inaug-
urated again in the fall and with the
legal preliminaries out Of the wey,
immediate advantages could be taken
of the opportunity to secure the fed
eral funds.
Now that the proposal has been
turned down, no further efforts will
be expended by the board toward re-
submitting the proposition even tho
the opportunity again be offered. The
board, as well as Superintendent
Black, feel that they have presented
the proposition to the patrons, and
while a majority have expressed their
approval of the plan, they feel that
they have done their duty by the dis
trict in offering the proposition.
The vote was the closest ever re-
corded. One of these who voted
the proposition could have swung the
election to the other way by change
in his ballot. Only one vote was dis
qualified, having had both "for" and
against" marked. Fifty-nine and
eight-tenths percent of the voters fay-
ored the proposition.
The regular school election for the
selection of director will be held
Saturday afternoon Of this week, same
hours and at the same place. Lee IA.
Lampson is a candidate for re-elec-
ton and Mike Schuster, of the valley,
is also candidate. No other candi-
dates have announced themselves.

SUMMERS FILES
OBJECTIONS TO
.JUTE BAG TAX
Saws Import Will Cost Wheat
Farmers a Million Dollars to
Help Cotton Men; Need Help
Here as Well

Pointing out that a proposed two
cent processing tax on jute bags, in
tended to benefit the cotton industry
would cost the wheat farmers, pota-
IN and onion growers of the North
vest more than a million dollars an
nually. former Representative John
". Summers has filed vigorous pro-
test with the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, Hon. Henry w. Wallace, and
has urged that such tax be not inn
posed.
The former Congressman, himself,
a wheat grower, and one familiar
with the problems of wheat, potato
and other agricultural producers of
the Far West, has informed the Sec
Rotary of Agriculture that the farm
ers of Washington, Oregon, and Ida
ho use annually more than 50,000,000
jute bags.
at is not feasible" his letter of pro-
test states, Ito use these or any 9TH
er bags year after year as eastern
and southern farmers use cotton bags
in purely domestic or community
way. Our western bag users suffer
q tare or weight reduction instead of
getting bag bonus, and the bags are
not returned to the user. A process
ing tax of two cents per bag to as
sist the cotton grower of the south
would place a tax Of a million dol
lars year on our wheat, onion and
potato growers, who themselves are
IN dire need of relief at this time.
Your efforts to secure for US a bet
ter price for our Pacific Northwest
wheat are wholly praiseworthy and
just, but beg of you, Mr.. Secretary,
not to impose million dollar tax on
our Pacific Northwest farmers thru
a processing tax on jute bags"
Congressman Summers disclosed
today that he has received no ack-
nowledgement of his protest from
Secretary Wallace.

Hog Growers Of County
To Receive $25, 100000

i More than 5000 in allotment
money will be paid Benton county
hog growers by the government. acc
cording to 9 report made by County
Agent E. C. Durdle this week. Some
100 farmers have cards in the agents
office and are entitled to participate
in the ALLEGATION. About half OF the
growers are in this end of the county,
Mr.. Durdle stated.
Early in the year when the plan
was underway it was thought that
the amount to come to Benton coun-
ty would be relatively small, but pro-
duction records have been increased
beyond all expectations. Mr.. Durdie
states that the sign-up work IN this
county is virtually complete now.
The government agrees to pay 30 a
head on rs percent of the hogs pro-
duced in the base period, provided
the producers make 25 percent re-
duction in their filters in the next
two years.

SOON TO SHIP
MACHINERY FOR
CANNERY HERE
Remodelling of Warehouse to
Accommodate Equipment Soon
to BE Completed; Will Be
Ready for First Grass

Alterations on the Combelic & Per-
ry warehouse Were proceeding at a
rapid rate this week. To afford space
for power shafting for the new can
merry it was necessary to raise por-
ton of the roof, cut window open
ings and lay new floor. This work,
under the direction of Mr.. Brownell's
superintendent, has been going on
this week and is now virtually COM
pleted. Foundations and housing for
the big 125 hip. boiler will be UNDER
taken next. The boiler will be sepa-
rate from the building proper.
The superintendent left this eve
ming for Occur d'Alene to join Mr..
Brownell, who is supervising the
shipment of the machinery. They are
expected back the last of this week
to start the installation of the ma
chinery.
Mr.. Brownell expected to have a
man in the field to interview grow
ers this week, but a press of business
in the upper country prevented. I'm
doubtedly he will attend to this de-
tail when he arrives in Kennewick
the last of this week. Contracts will
be prepared for beans and tomatoes
and such other products as may be
selected for processing. So far as the
local committee is aware all details
are being taken care of and the
plant will be ready for operation in
time to accept the first cannery Of
ferings of asparagus as first plan
ned. Other products will beprepar-
ed for as speedily as may become
necessary.
