MiIlion-Dollar Incomes

Only one man in the United States reported net
income above $5O0OO00 in 1894. In 1929 there were
38 income tax returns showing incomes above that
figure. :.
That looks as if the process of redistribution OF
wealth. of which we hear much, were actually un-
der way We don't know the name Of the fortunate
individual who according to the Treasury Depart
ment received between and million dollars, OF tax
able income last year, though it might be easy to
make fairly close guess as to his identity.
There we're only 80 mlon-doar incomes, all
told in 1884, but there almost million persons
who received enough in that year to require filing OF
incometax returns. More than Ia million of those
reporting incomes below $4,000 paid tax while the
dollars paid more than half of their incomes about 80
million dollars as taxes It is obvious that if all of
the incomes of million or more instead of only 55
percent, were taken, it wouldn't help the Treasury
much.
Most folks would be willing enough to pay Uncle
Sam half million dollars or if they had mil
on-dollar incomes There would still be surplus left
on which almost anybody could live in comfort But
the fact that man received income of million
dollars 1884 is guarantee that he will get that
much in 1885. The one thing harder than making
money, those who have had experience say is keep
ing it after you've made it. Even milliOnaires
alive to the need of laying something by for rainy
day.
After all, the big returns to the Government from
the income-tax are not from the few immensely
wealthy, but from the mddle-class with incomes of
from 800 to S25O00 year. And when We get down
to those who make reports to the Government the
indirect taxes paid are probably higher, in proper
ton to income than those of many of the direct in
come-tax payers.

The proper treatment
for a bilious child
THREE STEPS

A NY mother knows the reason
"A when her child stops playing, eats
little, is hard to manage. Constipation.
But what a pity so few know tho
sensible way to set things rightl
The ordinary .laxatives, Of even
ordinary strength, destroy all hopes
of restoring regularity.
A liquid laxative is the answer,
mothers. The answer to all your
worries over constipation. A liquid
can be measured. The dose can be
exactly suited to any age or need.
Just reduce the dose each time, until
the bowels are moving of their own
accord and need no help.
This treatment will succeed with
any child and with any adult.
Doctors use liquid laxative.
Hospitals use the liquid form. If it
is best for their use, it is best for
home use. The liquid laxative they
generally use is DR.. Caldweu's Syrup
PepSin. Any druggist has it,

The Origin Of The Soldiers Bonus

The news from Washington indicates that the
soldiers bonus act will shortly be passed by congress
in form generally satisfactory to the veterans,
and that if it is vetoed by the President, con-
gress will muster enough votes to override the veto
Its passage is logical consequence, practical ex
empGficaton, of how certain philosophy, fostered
and adopted in phase of national activity, can be
expanded into another There is painful truth in the
claims of the veterans that he others got theirs, we
are going to get ours Much of the powerful OppO-
sition to the veterans claims from the very
people who established the precedent
Every interest in the country that seeks a favor
help protection from the government to protect it
from competition by imposing tariff or granting
it subsidy, helped to establish this precedent The
taxes that will have to be imposed to pay the bonus
insignificant amount as compared with the
taxes that exacted every day from the 100000
consumers of America, on the food they buy and the
clothes they wear These favored interests only
a minority, yet by being organized and carrying a
continuous campaign of propaganda, they have Sc
cured theirs" from the government. The veterans
have only initiated them.
The organization of the RFC is another example.
The very interests which are now most vehement in
their opposition to the bonus came to Mr.. Hoover
in 1881 and 1882 begging for aid They were granted
the aid In the mechanics of operation they saved
themselves at the expense of the people of the
try Instead of manfuly taking their losses they
cured help from the government, and gave thought
to the precedent they established They never stopped
to think that if the government had right to give
them help it had right to help the small fry ALSO
One form of help and protection has bred countless
other forms as the various alphabetic agencies show
and the passage Of the bonus bill demonstrates.
Until those particular interests which have for
years used the government means of garnering
1nearned profits are willing to stand on their own
feet and take losses along with profits until they
willing to abandon their claims for special privilege
they must expect other organized minorities to do
likewise It is contagious disease. (Arizona Daily

WORK STARTS
TODAY ON NEW
HIGH SCHOOL
District Receives Final Order
Today; Surveyors Set the
Stakes; Excavation Work to
Be Started Monday

Work was started on Kennewick's
new junior-senior high school build
ing this afternoon, word of the re-
ceipt of the work order having been
telephoned here from Olympia. Rep
resentatives from the Standard Con-
struction company Of Tacoma will
be in Kennewick tomorrow to make
last minute arrangements for the
beginning of the job. a.. 1919.
Today, after Superintendent e. 8.
Black received word to instruct the
contractors to go ahead, surveyors
from the county engineers office
spent the afternoon setting the
stakes for the boundary lines of the
property and for the location of the
building. Because under the WPA
program no work is done on Satur-
day, the actual commencement Of
the digging will not start until Mon
day morning.
The building will be located to the
east and south of the present high
school building, with its east wall
inside the west line of Dayton
street. From that point it will ex-
tend $50 feet westward toward the
athletic field. The building will be
1873 feet deep, two stories high of
poured concrete, with excavation
for lunch rooms and showers under
the gym and for the furnace room.
The contract calls for completion
of the building within eight months.

Decision to Help Local
Situation, is Thought


The recent supreme court decision
which declared the AAA set-up UNI
constitutional, is going to work to
the advantage of local citizens, ac-
cording to representations made
today by several local citizens. Ac-
cording to their Interpretation of
the situation, it means that the
PWA and WPA organizations can
not insist that any certain class of
citizen be employed on public works
programs in which federal money
is being used. In other words, the
provisions that only relief labor
must be used on public projects can
no longer be enforced. This leaves
the matter of using local taxpayers
on public works entirely up to the
contractor or units supervising the
work.

CHEST QUOTA
ONLY HALF IN
Drive Misses Some, But it is
Not Too Late to Be
Included in List .5

The drive for funds for the Com
munity Chest took place December
18th and an attempt was made to
over the territory in one day, but
a great number of persons were not
contacted by the solicitors for the
reason that they were not at home
when the solicitors called. No doubt
a number of these persons are will
ing and anxious to subscribe to the
fund, and any such person or or
ganization can send their subscrip-
ton to the Kennewick Community
Chest, j. H. Siegfried, chairman,
and they will receive the proper
credit, etc., the same as though they
had contributed on the day of the
drive.
It has been found that some of
the pledges made last year have not
yet been paid, and the committee
would appreciate receiving the sums
pledged. All of these have been not
flied by letter anu doubtless have
overlooked the mattr.
To date there has been collected
only about SIS percent Of the quota.
The organizations who have re-
ceived envelopes and have not yet
sent them in are requested to either
mail them or notify chairman by
phone and arrangements will be
made to collect them.

Deposits are now permanently in

poration of Washington, d. c., who
is a business caller in Kennewick
this week. .....a ..s.. 49,. 90 49,. ...
President Roosevelt signed and
made effective the Banking Act of
1885 on August %. This carried the
permanent protection to depositors
and is regarded by farmers and bus
mess men alike as a decided influ-
ence in the rehabilitation program.
Confidence is restored to the Bank
ing structure. General business is
reacting, cash sales are increasing.
Bank deposits and loan demand
shows large increases the country
over, due primarily to deposit in
surance, Mr.. Carroll says.
The First National Bank of Ken
newick is member of the Inslr-
ance fund and reports a healthy
and steady growth since becoming
a member, according to Mr. Carroll.

also in balloting.
During the entire meeting ques-
tons were answered on all SUBJ
jects which arose for discussion.
Before closing State Lecturer Hodde
gave a talk on grange legislation.
The next meeting was held the
same evening at Touchet grange in
Walla Walla county. At this meet
ing there were six from Kennewick
