INCOME CUT
STHREATTO
SCHOOL TERM
Officials See Shortened Year
if Additional Money is Not
Provided; Drastic Cuts Al
ready made in Systems

The passage Of tax limitation
bills has brought back again the
threat of a shortened school term,
and civic organizations are being
petitioned to pass resolutions ask
ing the legislature to make suitable
provisions for the continuance of
the educational system as has pre-
viously existed.
Before the Kiwanis and chamber
Of commerce, Superintendent E. s.
Black explained the financial set
up of the education department of
the state. He said that the peak
of school expenditures was reach
ed in 1880 when thirty millions
were provided for the school sys-
tenn Of this state. This figure
dropped to 10 million two years
ago and down to IL million last
sible thru the passage of the spec
ial occupational tax which is to be
dropped (unless re-enacted by this
legislature) in June Of this year.
Should this happen til e state
will be enabled to furnish only IL
millions for school purposes Mr..
Black Stated and he appealed to
the membership to use what influ-
ence they possessed in order to
make certain that the present gen.
GRAFTON of school children would
not be handicapped thruout their
lives thru lack of adequate educa-
ton.
He said that under the new bud
get limitations, that unless addi-
tional funds were forthcoming the
state faced the possibility Of be-
ing able to conduct its school sys-
TENS for but six or seven months
in the year. A resolution was pass
ed by the Kiwanis club endorsing
the resolution asking for addition
al funds from the state.

agreement which had been holding
up the commencement of the work
and the judge granted permission
to the company to proceed with the

the country so much of it as they
have been able to see-and plan to

POMONA WILL
BOOST WORK
ON COLUMBIA
Membership Drive to Raise
Funds for Urging Complete
Development of Columbia
River Project

That this section is fully awake
to the advantages to be derived
from the development Of the Col
umbia River as a navigable stream
was evidenced from tn e action
taken last week by the chamber Of
commerce and the Pomona grange.
The plans of the Inland Water
ways for the complete development
of the Columbia from the three
angles of transportation, power de-
velopment and irrigation was ex-
planned to the chamber Of COM
merce and n. r. Vibber was man,
ed as regional director. Mr.. Vib-
Der was instrumental in having the
matter presented to Pomona at the
meeting at Finley Saturday. The
grange entered heartily into the
plans and selected officers to han
die the project locally.
Gilbert Clodfelter, master Of Po-
mona, was made regional vice
president and Guy Story, secre-
tary-treasurer. The grange will
handle the membership drive thru
out the section and keep alive the
obJectives of the organization. A
quota of $500 has been allocated to
the county for the organization,
the money for which will be rails
ed by individual and corporate
memberships.
The association has as it object
ives complete utilization of the
Columbia from the three angles.
They will work for the series of
dams which will provide slack wa
ter transportation as well as the
development of power with which
to aid irrigation of the fertile lands
adjacent to the stream.

RIVER BOATSTO
PLY COLUMBIA
TO KENNEWICK
First Two to Be Ready by
May; Daily Service to Be
Offered When Fleet of 8
is Complete

The immediate construction OF
two deisel powered river boats, the
first of a fleet of eight to be put
into service on the Columbia, was
promised by Charles r. Day, pres
ident of the Columbia Waterways,
Inc. to the chamber of commerce
this noon.
In his talk to the members Mr..
Day said: Probably the most i'm
portant event in the history of the
Columbia river is the construction
of the Bonneville dam. 1t is con-
coded, however, that the UNDER
taking is one Of such magnitude
and far-reaching influence that 1t
becomes difficult to visualize and
fully comprehend its ultimate bene-
fits to the prosperity and wealth of
the Columbia yalley-the greatest
Of all will be the conversion of the
river to a great commercial high
way for the transportation Of
freight.
cit is an established fact" he
said, "proven by the history of
every important river that those
communities served by such riv-
ers invariably enjoy, through low
freight rates, material advantages
over areas solely dependent upon
rail or truck service.
"The vast transportation posi-
bilities of the Columbia river can
neither be discounted or denied.
The foremost engineering minds
have long advocated the proper
utilization of the waters of the Col
unbia for the transportation Of
freight with the resultant ratio of
financial gain that has accrued to
the citizens of the Mississippi and
Ohio valleys"
Mr.. Day said that the average
saving of a third of the ordinary
freight rates would more than just
ify the establishments Of the Lines
which his company had in contem-
plation, 1t was the plan of the
company, he said, to have daily
service between the terminals
which would require the use Of
eight boats.
The boats, of a unique type, de-
veloped especially for use on the
swift waters of the Columbia,
would be enabled to tow two
barges Of the same load capacity
once the river development was
completed, thus TRIPPING the capac-
ty of the fleet.
The company which Mr.. Day
expects to handle oil
products largely on the upriver
run, with general cargo on the
westbound run. A sufficient tom
mage of products from the inland
territory justifies the establish
nent Of the line, he stated.
Mr.. Day said that his company
had in mind the establishment at
zennewick as the eastern terminal
# the boat lines, and In addition

to the regular facilities he expect
ed his company to erect bonded
warehouses for the storing of pro-
duce and that the Inauguration of
service would mean the dawn Of a
new era of prosperity for this sec
ton.
Mr.. Day said the first Of the
two boats his company had under
construction would be ready some
time an May and that other units
would be added as speedily as the
demand for the service developed
FINANCING Of the proposed pro-
Ject Is to be made q cooperative
