Got Millions Quickly.

But he could just as we'll have saved
himself the trouble. AS soon as he got
inside the door. and before he even
saw Mr.. Roosevelt, he was handed
letter from the President, awarding
him the twenty millions.
This is the fastest award ever made
through the usually cumbersome red
tape Of Mr.. Ickes' P. w. A. 1t Stimu-
lated Gov. Davey so much that he
made one of his fastest decisions-to
refrain from calling special State
election to choose new congressman.
Apparently it is too hot these days to
try to be subtle about such things.
The Black committee slipped an
unnoticed fast one over on Senate
Republicans the other day. Under
the guise of getting additional au-
thority from the Senate to handle
the errant Mr.. Hopson, it broadened
its general powers sweepingly.
A resolution was proposed by
Chairman Black and adopted by the
to police the financial and political
operations of all corporations, not
only public utilities and holding COM
panies.
The legal excuse offered was that
it would affect only corporations
attempting to influence public
activities, but that is broad enough
to couer nearly any corporation
resisting the Ne1D Deal.
This may become highly important
at the beginning of a presidential
campaign in which industry appar-
emily has political intentions.
Unofficial word has been slipped
to some administration political
strategists to talk up Mr.. Hoover for
the Republican nomination.
Republican authorities here are so
excited about it that they are seriously
considering what may happen under
possible lax enforcement Of primary
registration laws next Spring. They
foresee the possibility Of Mr.. Roose-
velt's followers voting for Mr.. Hoover
in the Republican primaries in the
belief that he would be the easiest
Republican candidate to beat in the
election.
Chances Still Secuted.
This situation seems to be the
source of much current talk about
the growing strength of the Hoover
candidacy; that Mr.. Hoover will get
all the votes he got last time and
many more; that the other foremost
candidates will kill each other of |;
that Mr. Hoover still controls a ma
jority of the Republican National
Committee.
The best authorities do not believe
these developments have altered the
situation. They concede Mr.. Hoover's S
chances are still about one in four
billion.

stance, that 100000 Of the unem-
ployed workmen today used to be en-
gagged in what are known as the
heavy goods industries. In that group
the utilities are large spenders and
indirectly they are large employers
An expenditure of $1,000, ,000,0 900 a
year is not unusual as an average for
the utilities, which buy copper wire,
motors and plant machinery and other
raw materials directly related to busi-
ness recovery. Also, lower electric
light rates can be sought when prop
erty extensions have increased con-
sumers.
Delay Serves No Good Purpose.
To postpone enactment of an i'm
portant bill in order to try it out as
a political issue serves no good pur-
pose, for even If Congress eventually
passed a bill ordering all holding
companies TO be dissolved, the Su-
preme Court would never sustain 1t.
The precedents are clearly against
Federal confiscation.
If the utility controversy is to be
made an issue the question might well
be asked: Against whom?" Would
the President campaign against the
258 members Of the House of Repre-
sentatives, the majority Of them DEM
ocrats, who voted against the death
sentence?" What would be the po-
ltical advantage Of producing dis
sention on the eve Of another presi-
Dental and congressional election?

ward enactment Of q utility bill by

GRADE SCHOOL
IF NOT SAFE
Kiwanis Asks Board to Have
Inspection Made by Engi-
neer Before Opening of the
Fall Term

If the Washington school is act
ually unsafe for school purposes, it
will not be allowed to be used for
that purpose in the future. This
move was determined Tuesday at
the Kiwanis meeting when the con-
dition of the building was explain
ed to the members during a dis
cussion of the recent school election
A motion was passed requesting
the school board to have an ade-
quate survey made of the building
before the opening Of the fall term
If found unsafe for school purposes
an injunction will be asked prohib-
iting its further use for that pur-
pose, unless repairs can be made
to make it safe.
1t was pointed out in the discus
sion that if the building is unsafe,
it should not be used. Members
were agreed that the loss of even
one life would be greater than the
entire cost of new and safe
building and that the district and
the community had no right to
jeopardize the lives of the children
by permitting the use Of the build
ing if it proves to be unsafe.

Soft Fruit Harvest Also Gets

Prices Favorable; Express
Shipments Being Made

A survey of produce row today re-
vealed that over nine carloads of
early new potatoes are rolling from
here daily. In addition to this car
lot figure heavy tonnage is leaving
daily by independent truckers from
various points in Kennewick.
The bulk of the shipments are
being made to Northwest markets,
the Portland trade, Alaska area and
some into Montana and middle
western sections.
GleaSons, Inc, Washington Early
Crops and the Big Y all report that
the diggings this year are of a very
high quality. Although the price for
new spuds at the present is not
what is considered a satisfactory
price, market conditions indicate
that prices will climb to higher and
more stable figures during the latter
part of July.
Prices quoted today average about
$40 ton to the grower in his field
and were bringing approximately
$18 on the market after the spuds
had been processed, sacked and put
at point of consumption.
Fruit row was also today receiv-
ing it's first contingents of early
peaches and Yellow Transparent
apples. A few persons were employed
at the Big Y today getting this
early pack out, while shipments
were all consigned to express. APP
ricots were also being received in
small quantities and prices for the
early soft fruit crop look rather
favorable.
The soft fruit crop throughout
the region is light and although no
price returns have been received,
the outlook is favorable.
