Kennewick as a whole has profit
ed more during the period of hard
times lit was more than a depres-
sion with most Of us) than during
any like period Of its existence. A
queer statement, possibly, but just
stop to consider.
During the period Of expansion
the irrigation district spent half a
million dollars, roughly, in enlarg-
ing and improving the irrigation
canal. Under the financing terms as
arranged at that time, landowners
under the district could never have
managed to make the payments, in
terest and operating charges. They,
combined, were too great load for
the land to carry, in addition to the
ever increasing cost Of production.
The period from which we have
emerged got conditions down to bed
rock and the district was dangerous
~ near to collapse. nearer, perhaps
than many of us realized. Desperate
measures had to be resorted to.
While investments Of every sort were
deteriorating, the bonds Of the Col
umbia District led the whole parade
In speed Of decline.
Rather than take the chance of
losing the entire investment thru
q total collapse of the institution,
bond holders, widely separated,
agreed to accept a substantial re-
duction. The job was undertaken
by the district officers at exactly
the right time, was carried through
to completion in a thoroughly work.
manlike manner and now the dis
trict has an Indebtedness and terms
which can be met.
One Of the biggest jobs in this
connection the district had done
for 1t at no cost. Perhaps the man
most capable in the entire United
States was loaned to the district by
the N. p. railroad, Mr.. w. p. Staple
ton. Both by reason Of his acquaint-
ance with the necessary details and
his experience, he was enabled to
do q job which local talent would
have found impossible. The saving
to the district and the land owners
under it, has been tremendous.
Saturday afternoon a public rec
ignition win be accorded Mr.. Staple
ton and the district officials who
were responsible for the refinancing
Of the district. Every landowner in
the district has been invited to be
present to extend his appreciation
to them. Every one should be pres
ent on that occasion.

Kennewick's new school buildin,

Kennewick's new school building
is something of which the people
In the district can well be proud.
When the grounds have been land
scaped the place will be even more
attractive. The building itself is
the last word in modern construc-
ton airy, light, convenient and
practical, a marvel of construction
and utility. It should become a
community center for other activi-
ties as well. The town has long
needed just such facilities as are
provided in the new building, an
auditorium, gymnasium and din
ming room with adequate facilities.
Patrons of the district are proud of
their new building and are looking
forward to great use of it.

It's been ten years or more since
Kennewick had a representative in
the legislature. In that period many
regulations have been introduced
and some of them made into laws
which affect our daily lives and for
tunes, the rare one being in our
favor.
Laws affecting irrigation, educa-
ton, taxation and roads are of i'm
portance to this section, particular
ly the first mentioned Other parts
of this legislative district are not
so dependant upon workable state
laws regarding irrigation matters as
is the section in the east end of
Benton county. A representative
who knows thoroly the needs of
this area could be of great benefit
to us in the legislature.
No other part of the legislative
district, which extends through Ska
mania, Klickitat, Benton and
Franklin counties, is quite so inter-
ested in the completion Of the North
Bank highway. Until that route is
made a through one from the coast
to Spokane, the state will never re-
ceive the benefits which the expend-
itures already made entitle it to. A
Kennewick representative in the
legislature could do much toward
this end.
In other words, we are trying to
point out the several selfish reasons
why people in this end of Benton
county particularly should support
L. E. johnson for the position. Mr..
Johnson, through long residence In
Kennewick is familiar with the
needs Of this section, has its inter-
ests at heart and should receive
unanimous support here in the pri-
maries next Tuesday.

no VOTE EARLY

BETTER TO VOTE EARLY
It is always a good idea to vote
early lest something happen later in
the day to prevent tardy voters
from getting to the polls. But it is
doubly important this year with an
unprecedently long ballot required
under the blanket primary law. In
the paper ballot precincts the names
are rotated on each successive bal
lot; in the voting machine precincts
they are rotated by precincts. This
means that voters must hunt all over
the ballot to find their candidates,
which makes for very slow voting.

Great progress would be made to-
ward bringing about old age secur-
ity If the government would set up
a means by which those who desire
to provide old age income for them
selves could buy it much the same
as is now possible through plans
sold by life insurance companies. If
q wage Garner could be definitely
assured that his savings, once in
vested in an old age income, would
be safe beyond all question there
would be more deposition for the
wage Garner to invest his savings.
This could be sold in small units
each of which would provide a stat
ed income to begin at given age.
While this might be encroaching
upon a field more or less occupied
by insurance companies, it would
never the less have much to recon-
mend it above the plans being sug-
gested. Most people in this country
waste and squander enough during
the earning years Of their life, which
If safely invested, would provide
ample income for old age. The plan
finally, is economically sound.

"ISMS" BRING GRIEF
NOT FREEDOM


The worried theorists who have
been asking us to dilute our Con-
stitutional form of government with
strong injections of Communism,
Fascism and the other isms of
Europe, had better stop pointing
with pride to their models.
Certainly the average American
sees nothing alluring in the recent
history of those continental nations
whose PHILOSOPHERS we are urged to
adopt.
To that history Spain has been
adding a new chapter for all the
world to read. It's tragic text is writ
ten in the blood of the very workers
whom the new isms promise to save.
Is this unusual? Think back over
recent years and you have the
answer. The cruel guerrilla warfare
that established Communism in
Eastern Europe, and the "purges"
Of Central Europe are still fresh in
the memory of every adult.
And what has been gained? What
have the regimented millions now
under the thumbs of Soviets or
Dictators achieved, for which the
American citizen would swap the
constitutional guarantees won and
established by the Founders of our
Nation?
The American Revolution was
fought for Freedom Freedom of
speech, freedom of religion, freedom
to govern ourselves, to direct our
own lives and our own affairs. That
freedom was won-and perpetuated
in our constitution.
But whether Fascism, or Com
munism, or any other ism, wins in
Europe, Freedom loses. In its place
come intolerance, oppression and
bloodshed.
The theorists who ask us to
weaken our Constitution so these
alien PHILOSOPHERS may be incor-
porated in our government, not only
ignore the evidence now glaringly
apparent abroad fail to UNI
1erstand either the American people
or American history.

The services at the Federated church last evening were attend ed by a large audience and great ly appreciated by those attend ing. The Rev. Vincent C. Wid- ney pastor in charge, officiating.
 Preceding the service was an organ prelude by Mrs. Emily Boucher; followed by an opening thought by the pastor and choral response by the choir; thence a Call to Worship.
 Miss Mildred Scott, rendered a solo Angel of Peace," in her usual delightful manner. Follow ed by the audience singing hymn number 50; and responsive Selec- tions by the pastor and congre- gation. Offering was then made, followed by silent meditation and prayer. Proceeding the organ response and benediction, a re- ligious play entitled: Peace I Give Unto You,' was enacted & proved very interesting and en- tertaining, the members of the cast carrying off their respective parts in a pleasing manner, the directing of the play was handl- ed in professional style by Mrs. Shirlie Forester. The cast and characters were as follows:
 Joseph, a peasant, Willie O'Mara. Marta, his wife, Mrs.V .Widney. Peter, their son,....... L. Krohlow. Alec, their son, .......Fred Waid A Soldier, .... .... =. Lincoln Ost.
