MERCHANT TO
BEAR BRUNT
OF TAXING IRE
Benton City Man Says No
Dealer will Dare to Become
Inf0rmer on Violation of
Sales Tax

'Any small town merchant re-
porting anyone bringing merchan-
disc into the state to evade the sales
tax might just as well lock his
door," Argus Hughes of Benton
County said when he participated in
the sales tax discussion in the Pros
ser Commercial club meeting Tues
day, according to the Yakima Her
aid.
He made the remark after Roy
G.. Moliter, supervisor of collections
for the tax commission, said that
merchants must lend assistance in
enforcing the compensating tax
clause of the revenue measure by
reporting violators.
Hughes indicated that the wrath
Of the trade would fall on anyone
reporting person for getting some
thing from mailorder house or
from merchant out of the state.
Moliter explained the sales tax and
told Of the way the tokens will be
handled. Merchants said they ex-
pected the tax to be a nuisance and
feared that 1t would call for addi-
tional bookkeeping help
Moliter explained the sales tax
must be passed on to the consumer,
the admission tax must be passed on
to the one purchasing the admiS-
sion, and q segregation Of the taxa
BILE sale records must be kept so the
auditor can investigate and deter
mine whether taxes are being paid.

NEW CANNERY
TO START ON
RUN SUNDAY
Green Market Slump Gives
Canning Plant Prospect for
Large Tonnage; Tomato
Acreage is Doubled

Arrangements are being complet-
ed to start the local cannery Sun
day of this week exactly a year
from the opening date of the insti-
tuition. This year, however, owing
to the backward spring, the OPEN
ing of the cannery comes after but
two weeks of cutting for the green
market. Last year, the green
markets were good for some time
after too.
According to reports from the
dealers tonight, tomorrow's ship
ments will be the last to roll to the
green markets this season. TIL e
eastern local stuff is appearing on
the markets there and stuff from
here is bringing about the net can
merry prices there.
Secretary II. F. Cleland said that
the final touches on the plant were
being made now and if there was
tonnage enough delivered at the
cannery Saturday or Sunday, the
plant would be started Sunday.
More than double the tonnage
handled last year is expected to go
thru the plant this season, both on
asparagus and tomatoes, Mr.. Gle
land stated.

Mrs. Cora McKain complains that
some of.the patrons Of the library
are keeping their books beyond the
due dates, and failing TO respond TO
the cards sent calling their atten-

their responsibilities In several in
stances the signers have had TO
pay for the books and also the
fines, and they have not appreciate
ed this added expense. IL this
carlessness of some of the patrons
continues, Mrs. McKain saws She
fears it will work hardship on an

SCHOOL FACES
CAPACITY IN
ENROLMENT
Public Hearing on Proposed
Budget to Be Held Monday;
Housing Problem Is Per-
picking

Crowded to capacity now, the To-
cal school system is graduating this
year a class of As, according to Sup
erintendent E. S. Black. But, along
with that number leaving the high
school, some IS pupils are leaving
the eighth grade to enter high
school next fall. Unless measures
are taken now it will be impossible
to house such a large enrolment,
MIR. Black states, without securing
additional teachers and rooms. Just
what action should or can be taken
must be decided shortly, he said.
The annual public hearing on the
districts proposed budget will be
held at the high school building on
Monday evening of next week, Of
ficial notice of which appears else
where in this issue. AT that time
Mr.. Black will have charts show
ing the steady increase in school
population, the budgets year by
year, the cost per pupil, etc., and
the problems facing the district for
the next session.
The public is invited and urged
to be present at the meeting.

Even tho the city does receive a
little more money from the state

Gently arranged by the legislature,

has become more than little wroth
over the deal. He's mad, through
and through and doesn't care who
knows it. He's mad at the whole
kit and baboodle -PWA, VERA,
state highway department and
everybody connected with 'en1.
Here he has a couple of city
streets all ready to go (after two
years of delays) and the state sends
five men here to tell him he must
MT touch" Plenty of money in the
bank to do the job, plenty of men
to work it, plenty of citizens moan
ing about the condition of the CITY
streets. And is the mayor burned
up? And how!
The city had arranged to oil
First Avenue to Fruitland and then
across the tracks to the highway
down along the river. With the reg
ular city road money and the re-
funds coming to the city from the
gas tax, there were enough funds to
handle the job. Fortunately an oil
ing contractor wintered here, has
equipment available every
thing looking rosy.
Comes a state man and says that
the gas money can't be used there
but must be spent somewhere else.
The councils proposed improve
ment plan contemplateS an entirely
different arrangement.
First they say Get a project
right away, while there is money to
handle It'll" the mayor said. Then,
when we wait and wait for them to
come thru, we pass a bond issue to
take care of our end. We do a lot
Of work getting ready for them to
do their part of which is
wasted by the delay. Then they
kick out entirely. We rearranged
our plans, feeling that they have
repudiated their solemn agreement.
low the highway department comes
along and says we can't even spend
the money we have for road pur-
poses where we want to spend it.

CHAMBER TO
BACK JOINT
PLANNING UNIT
Representatives from Dis
tricts i'm Benton and Frank
lin Select Projects to Be
Pushed in Big Drive

The Umatilla dam, the Plymouth
road, new school house, grade sep
arations, Five Mile Dam, and sever
al other projects are desirable COM
nunity improvements for this Sec
tion-all of which could be financ-
ed under the provisions Of the huge
federal appropriation bill Each OF
these projects has numerous back
ers, all Of whom seek preferential
treatment.
With the idea Of coordinat.l.g ef-
forts toward securing these ..dvan~
tages, 1t was suggested this noon 1T
tie chamber or CT nnuercc meeting
that a two-couslty Planning council
be formed. Membership in the sug-
gested conlcil would be selected
frUm the several parts Of Benton
and Franklin counties and unified
action taken on such PC jects as ap-
peared most feasible.
One of the most important
among the projects which would
require united action was suggest
ed by Sen. G. s. Stinson Of Pasco,
who stated that somewhere In this
area there would be established an
army airport. Such an installation
would mean a great deal 10 the
community in which II was locat-
ed, he said. and more pressure would
be needed TO secure 1t than either
community could supply working
unaided.
The suggestion for such boey
viii be transmitted to the several
other organizations in the two
counties In an effort to get the or
ganization under way and operat-
ing as rapidly as possible.

STATES NEW
SALES TAX TO

Few Items Only are Exempt
ed from 2 Per Cent Levy;
Hickeys to be Used for the
Fractions of Cent

Two attacks on the new state
sales tax were launched Tues
day in Olympia and Seattle
when temporary tnJunctiOns
were granted against the state
tax commission. The legality
Of the measure is attacked on
grounds that the law was passed
after the Goth day of the scs-
sion Of the recent state legisIa-
ture, that the tax is not uni
form, that IL is cOnfiscatory
and that the use of tokens con-
stitutes coinage of money, which
Is prohibited by the us. con-
stitutiOn. Hearings will be held
April 20 and May 6. Just what
this will do TO the sales tax is

In spite Of the injunction, the
state tax commission expects the
residents OF this state to begin pay
ing the two per cent passion retail
sales tax next Wednesday morning,
May /. Payment may be made IN
real money on items sufficiently
large to carry the amount, but frac-
tons as low as fifth Of a cent will
also be collected. For this purpose
the state has put out an issue OF
''hickies" or tokens, five for q cent.
Merchants will be compelled to
handle these hickies for the con-
venience Of their customers.
Some few exceptions will compl-
cate the situation for a time, until
people become useo to the system.
The tax will not apply to casual and
isolated sales such as those not reg
ularly engaged in selling tangible
property; it will not apply to circu-
lation or news stand sales OF news
papers; it will not apply to sales

It is real tax and must be paid by
the purchaser. II the merchant abb
serbs the tax he will be guilty of a

In explaining where this tax goes
the commission furnishes the fol-
lowing figures: 58.5 per cent goes to
the common schools, 17.9 per cent
for unemployment, 5 per cent for
old age pensions, 6 per cent to the
penal institutions, as per cent to the
institutions Of higher learning and
