ARGENT speaker at the cham
IA amber of commerce told the
people up in Spokane that by CO.
operation they could save losing the
employment of 5000 men with an
annual payroll of about three mil
lion dollars. Apparently the people
there were uninterested. 81 ~. 3
But, as he explained, if some new
outfit came to town with blaring
of bugles, promising to put three
thousand men on the payroll, the
people up there would shout from
the housetops and make all manner
of efforts to get the outfit started.
A somewhat similar parallel has
occurred here Kennewick for years
has been sort of center for the
Pacific Power Light company, the
superintendent of power and con-
struction both living here and main
tanning headquarters here. Their

means much more to the district
than most of us realize, probably.
The recent suggestion made at the
council rooms that the company be
taxed on its gross income was, I'M
der the circumstances i'll advised.
The company's reaction was not
favorable and while no threats of
moving were made, it is known that
other communities became active
in seeking a favorable response.
The company's holdings here and
the maintenance of their offices
here are of much more value to the
community than any sum that could
be collected in the form of a special
utility tax. The councils RECESSION
from their stand of last week is to
be commended.

TIME LONG anticipated split be-


Il tween industry and the New
Deal has occurred at last.
For almost three years American
business as a whole has had rela-
lively little to say in opposition to
New Deal policies. It has been aloof,
polite, non-committal. Now it has
definitely broken with the Roose-
veIt Administration and there seems
little chance that relations cam be
resumed on even a superf1clally
amicable basis.
Not so long ago the United States
Chamber of Commerce adopted
number of pointed resolutions op-
posing New Deal theories. At the
recent meeting of the American
Bankers Association, Administration
economics were flayer right and
left by prominent speakers. And the
real split came on December 5, when
several hundred of the nations
principal executives, delegates to the
Joint 1885 Congress of American In
dustry and the National Association
of Manufacturers, ratified, without
one dissenting voice, a business
creed that is the direct antithesis of
almost everything the Administra-
ton stands for.
These delegates asserted that "the
American system has not failed
They protested "blind experimental
ton and hasty legislation which
undermine the American system and
ignore Americas brilliant record of
accomplishment" They said that
s'tne first need of the country, in
the principles and guarantees UNI
DERIVING the American system"
They then adopted platform for
1896, that, in the light of their last
years platform, which said little
save to vaguely promise "coopera-
ton" to the Administration, is re-
markably aggressive. Here are some
outstanding planks. /. The main
tenance of Constitutional guarantee.
2. Preservation of the freedom of
enterprise. 8. Security through eco
nomic progress. A. Maintenance of
sound tax and financial policies.
Briefly expressed like this, these
planks do not seem startling. But
the full text in which they were
written, does. In the case of the first
plank, for example, it was charged
that governmental officials and leg
islators have attempted to circum-
vent through technicalities the true
intent of the Constitution. In the
case of the second, it was said that
governmental planning "a basic
New Deal policy would make re-
vival of private enterprise impos-
sible. In the case of the third, it
was charged that security cannot
be achieved by legislative decree.
And in the case of the last, the Adj
ministration's fiscal policy was de-
nounced, by intimation, in its en-
tirety. The plank demanded govern
ment spending only for es-
sential government functions, a
currency maintained upon dol
lar of fixed gold value, and linn
itation of governments supervisory
powers over banking and credit.
To some, it may appear strange
that business leaders should take
this attitude at time when bust
ness is going ahead, and when in

Chinese egg imports last night

Of American poultry producers, by
F. A. Donnelly, executive secretary
Of the National Poultry Emer-
gency Committee.
Speaking before nearly 500
poultry raisers from is north
eastern states attending the fifth
annual Northeastern Poultry Pro-
ducers convention at the Univer-
sity of Maryland, Mr.. Donnelly
urged poultrymen to support the
Chinese egg law now pending III
Congress.
Embargo Proposed
The bill calls for an excise tax
on imported eggs and egg
products.
Mr.. Donnelly asserted that de-
mand should be made for a
Searching investigation to deter

eggs should be permitted to come
into this country, no matter
what the tariff or excise tax
might be-" He said:

FAIRVIEW TRIBUNE
RECALLS PAST
EASTERN TOWN WAS NAMED
CITY OF CERTAINTIES" BY
EDITOR

Few people who see the old and
yellow pages of an early newspaper
OF their home town can tear them
selves away from it for hours. In
these fragile pages Is often contained
a story Of an era almost legendary TO
most of us now, that leaves a feeling
of nostalgia.
Such was the case in the accidental
recovery Of a copy of the first issue
of the Fairview Tribune, dated Dec. is.
1913. Bill MUMMY had just moved his
plant down from Buford, and brought
out a salutatory issue of the Tribune
heralding the virtues of Fairview. THE
City OF Certainties," as the merchants
were won't to put on their i~etterheads.
All western towns in those DAYS we're
cities Of certainties. The people i'm
bued with the boom spirit, tackled en-
Enthusiastically the few obstacles between
them and the certainty" of seeing q
metropolis arise in the midst Of a rich
farming area, which they were helping
to build.
In the case OF Fairview, n could be
all the more optimistic in 1913 because
the railroad had just come into town
from the north, as this issue of the
Tribune reports. The train ran daily
and was mixed, except Sunday when
it was solely passenger. Tracks were
being extended across the Yellowstone
toward Waterford City, N. d., but had
not yet reached there.
Few business establishments remain
now that were rising almost daily as
the town wa springing up. Many Of
these people have moved away or have
died, but in going through this old
Tribune n car see the familiar names
of L.. l.. Maxson, the Great Northern
hotel, Yellowstone Lumber company,
Alling Mercantile 81 Lumber company,
John Mohrherr, Len Gardner, l.. p.
~Lanouette, and j. A. Bird, business and
professional men who have remained
in their original vacations in the same
town for over 20 years.

slumber, had filled the bold young IN
dams heart with many, unlike notions
HE slipped quietly from his horse
and boldly entered the tepee. He spread
the maiden's blanket over her body
carefully placed his arms beneath her
and raised her from her bed.
"She opened her eyes and uttered a
little cry. The old squaw did not wake,
she was sleeping off her tiredness, and
could not be stirred by any kind OF
noise, for, you understand, she was a
slave for the whole camp.
Holding the Indian girl in his arms
and whispering low, the young brave
said: Don't be frightened for I am
Seepahwa, son of the chief of the AS
sinniboines. Over the long, long prair-
les have 1 come to find you. Come with
me to the land of my tribe

pered: Take me with you. / will go.

mettlesome horse sped.
"One year, wanting three months
from this night, l was born. Seepahwa
was my father and the Sioux maiden
my mother. Beside me upon my bee
of dry grass and leaves, lay spotless
swaddling bands and numerous infants
garments; all cut from the white tan
ned skins of the antelope, fashioned
and sewed into gowns, each girdled BY
a wide, white band.
"One evening, after I had been dress
ed in the finest Of these, I was car
ried by my mother, who, with Seep-
ahwa, walked out over the prairie, far
away from the many tepees and crowds
of noisy children.
"The sun vas low in the west. Earth
and sky seemed still and calm, the only
thing that drew their attention was
the Earring sounds of the nighthawk's
wings when he dived in the air to catch
his prey.
"Seepahwa stopped suddenly and
stood in his tracks, benumbed and
u%nnerved. My mother, following the
direction Of his wondering look, saw 9
the distance a horseman whom she
recognized as a Sioux, armed with 6
rifle, riding at full gallop toward them
