FAVOR CUT IN
RETAIL TAX
c. of c. Goes on Record as
Reducing State Sales Tax;
No Exemptions

Upon motion of e. s. Mcdonald,
the Kennewick chamber of COM
merce went on record this noon as
favoring q reduction Of fifty per-
cent in the amount OF the retail
sales tax, with no exemptions. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Mcdonald, it has
been figured out that the reduction
In returns to the state would about
equal the amount raised IL the tax
were one and one-third cents in
stead Of the two cents, with SO many
exceptions.
Along with the motion to reduce
the tax came the amendment that
the occupational tax be also can
celled, inasmuch as the sales tax
would raise a sufficient amount Of
funds to continue the present state
functions.
Grocers particularly, object to the
numerous exemptions which the
present law makes. The cost Of col
lection Of the tax and its attend
ant record keeping amounts to more
than the tax raised from this source,
il is claimed. With a one cent tax
dealers, particularly grocers, could
better afford to absorb the tax than
30 to the expense Of collecting, deal
ers state.

SPEAKER SAYS
CARE NEEDED
Political Jobs as Important
as Business, Local Men are
Warned

Success in private life seems to be
handicap in political life, accord
ing to John s. Robinson, who deliv-
cred an excellent address before the
local Kiwanis club Tuesday noon.
Mr.. Robinson is q candidate for
Judge of the supreme court of the
state, although he did not mention
the fact in his talk before the club
members. His topic was Contrast
Between Business and Politics" and
in his well delivered discourse he
pointed out some of the things
which have made holding public
office more or less q disgrace.
He said that a prudent business
would inquire into pros
poets past record before hiring him
to do a certain job. In politics the
opposite seemed to be the general
practice. The more failures the
candidate had the surer he seemed
of election. He urged that business
practices be used in the selection Of
public officers and their records be
carefully looked into before casting
a favorable vote.

of this state, for common sense, not
nonsense in government; for a
workable old age pension plan as
pledged by both state and national
platforms; for men and measures

Touching upon the education
question the former governor said:
"As I have said before and repeat

BUSINESSMEN
AROUSED BY
INITIATIVES
Plan to Warn Voters of the
Danger in Passage of lis
and 119 Measures on Nov.
Ballot .-.....

Because of the far-reaching pos
sibilities for harm to business and
property, together with a swift
ly mounting toll of taxes, the Ken
newick chamber of commerce today
strongly denounced Initiatives lis
and 119, which will appear upon the
ballots November 3. That every eff
fort will be made to acquaint the
voters in this district with the dis
astrous possibilities of making le-
gal the provisions of these two
communistic measures was decided
upon. ... s..Es .. =
A vigorous denunciation of the
measures was made to the men,
bers of the organization. That no
business institution, home or prop
erty would be safe from state in
reference, confiscation or suppress
sion was pointed out. It was shown
that a political group in power un-
der the provisions of these measures
could absolutely dominate every
business in the state.
Because the initiative pamphlets
carry no arguments against these
VICIOUS measures and no organized
fight is being made against them,
small communities in various parts
of the state are waging q vigorous
campaign to acquaint the voters of
the districts with the dangerous
provisions of the measures.
Initiative No. lis is the Stevenson
Pension Bill and No. 119 is the Pro-
duction for use measure, both OF
which are sponsored and supported
by the communistic element which
has developed such strength in this
state since their defeat in Califor-
mia, when all factions joined in
their overthrow.

LUDLOW TELLS

Charges Senate Committee
Hired Chairman Blacks
Law Partner.

Samuel B. Pettengill was instru-
mental in getting Rep. Louis Ludlow
to make last-minute switch in mis-
vote and oppose the $4,000 lawyer
fee appropriation for the Senate
Lobby investigating Committee.
Senator Sherman Minton is a
member of the committee.
Mr.. Ludlow said he favored work
of the committee but thought that
Chairman Hugo Black should have
employed other counsel than his
own law partner. He also said that
$4,000 had been enough for former
