TAXES RAISED

Whether the 40-mill tax limit law
is again re-enacted or not this fall
property owners in the eastern end
of Benton county are going to have
their taxes raised just the same. The
recent reassessment of real prop
erty is producing an increased valu-
alton of twenty to twenty-five per-
cent. Some of the increases are as
high as three hundred percent.
A check at the county seat re-
vealed the fact that the property
owners in the other end of the coun-
ty are not getting such substan-
tial raises. They've been too low
in the lower end of the county
right along" is the explanation the
county officials give. #a
With steadily increasing relief
loads the county must raise more
money, and the property owners in
the end will always have to foot the
bills. So it really doesn't matter
in the end whether you have a mill
limit or not. They'll get it anyway.

FPS THE RISK THAT THRILLS

FPS THE RISK THAT THRILLS
No one regrets more keenly than
does the Courier-Reporter the ia
tai accident that marred t. Inland
Empire Rodeo and Celebration at
Kennewick. The tragedy was the
cause of concern and growing
among the hundreds of mirthful
spectators and participants in the
show who were out to celebrate In
dependence day and forget their
everyday cares.
Before rodeos and bucking con-
tests are condemned and banished,
however, one must consider that it
is these very risks the riders take
that make wild west shows at
tractive. It is the perils and dar-
ing exhibitions that pack thousands
in the grand stands. Human nature
demands excitement. Any stren-
uous sport has an occasional fatility
the boxing ring, high school and
college football games, the race
track, polo, swimming-to men
ton few specific examples. Con-
trasted with these, the rodeo is
a comparatively safe form of en-
tertainment. -..

and get-actual returns for every
dime invested, yearly give . big

ations to weekly papers.

Nobody reads the paper" but let
the editor misspell one name in an
obscure item buried at the bottom
of an inside page and twenty read
ers will ''kid" him about it before
the paper has been out two hours.
Nobody reads the paper" Then
why do the local publicity hounds
bedevil the editor for favorable no.
tices? And why are politicians so
eager for the support Of the paper?
Nobody reads the paper" Yet
the delinquent subscriber squawks to
high heaven when his subscription

is a man so anxious to keep his
misdeeds from being published?

SHORT

There weren't as many cash Gus
toners at the rodeo during the cell
ebration as were expected, hence
the receipts didn't quite match the
expenditures. But everyone is sat
isfied at that. It was a good show,
and the grounds are in shape now
so that another year the expenses
can be materially reduced, and still
the community has an excellent
playground for future events. Every
body agrees that it is better to have
the thing as it is.

CoNGRATs

While nearly everybody in town
had q part in the preparation for
the celebration, and all did an ex-
cellent job Of it, there are two men
who were especially active and in a
large measure responsible for the
success Of the show. Mayor Al
fred Anon took a tremendous load
upon his shoulders and carried it
off in splendid shape, handling the
rodeo arrangements, while Gus Neu-
man did equally well with the
grounds arrangements. Congrats,
all around.

CREDIT

Nothing but credit Is being given
the manner In which the local po-
lice handled the big Fourth Of July
celebration. Not an accident mar
red the three days-a scratched fen
der on a couple of cars on their
way home late on the fifth was the
only report made.
The cooperation Of the crowd
about firing noisemakers during the
parade was nothing short Of won
derful. So far as we can find out
not shot was fired In that time.
Boisterousness on the streets was
tolerated, and still the police were
not rated as hard" It was q
mighty good job and the force is to
be congratulated on their handling
Of the situation.

II within the next few weeks, some
bright young person knocks at your
front door and awakens you from
your afternoon nap to ask how
much salary your husband makes,
how much you owe, how much meat
or bread you purchased during the
past year, how much you spent for
the movies. how much candy you
bought for Little Willie, how many
guests you entertained during the
year, or forty or fifty other ques-
lions Just as foolish, don't be too
