The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1936-09-03

Just as soon as the primaries are
out of the way and the voters know
who the candidates are some atten-
ton will be diverted to the initia-
tive measures. These are Of vital
Importance. In fact they almost
overshadow all other issues.
Very few taxpayers realize that
in Initiative No. 119, the so-called
production or-uSe measure, tn e
supporters are attempting to saddle
upon the state q ten-mill increase In
taxes. This in addition to any and
all limitations imposed by either
the initiative or statutory law.
Initiative No. 119, a part OF the
unholy trinity, sponsored, endorsed
and signed by the same people pro-
vides for the imposition of an eight
mill tax in each of the six districts
setup and an additional two mill
tax upon the entire state as a
whole, an additional of ten mills.
Sponsors of this measure have tried
to keep this in the background.
There are three bills or initiative
measures in this setup. Any inter-
ested person who will take the time
will find that the same $4,000 and
more people, have signed all three.
The first No. 101, the state civil
service bill, is designed to place all
public employees, state, county and
municipal under civil service set
up. This looks nice upon the face.
It assures apparently permanent
jobs. It does nothing Of the sort.
What it does do is to turn the en-
tire machinery of government over
to the Seattle labor council. Few
people realize that the civil service
league is a part and parcel Of or
ganized labor. Under this measure,
therefore, the program is to seize
control of state, county and munich
pal government as far as possible
by making all these upon the public
payroll contributors to the labor
racket. They became at once a

AMERICAN u. SEEKS
FIRST GRIDIRON WIN
All Regulars Will Be Ready fol
Game With Coast Guard at
New London Saturday.

DROVIDED it can duplicate last
years performance, American
University's foot ball team will score
its first victory of the season at New
London, Conn, where it tackles the
United States Coast Guard Academy
eleven.
American defeated the Life Savers,
6-3, in a thrilling game at Central
Stadium here in 1885, and with a
better team than the one representing
it then, should repeat. In fact, the
Methodists still are bemoaning the
fact that they failed to beat one of
the best st. Johns teams in years at
Annapolis last Saturday, statistics
giving them the advantage in every
thing but touchdowns.
Although three regulars were hurt
in the Johnnies game, all will be
ready to go Saturday. Hal Toner,
halfback, got the hardest crack when
his shoulder was injured, but a spe-
cial pad will permit him to play.
Jack Rhodes, guard, and Kimber
Shoop, tackle, have recovered suff-
GENTLY from an injured ankle and
wrenched knee to assure their pres
ence in the lineup.
Laterals are expected to play a
large part in the Eagles ground
gaining, the team averaging 20 yards
advance every time they used the
play last week.

Pennsylvania has been played only

thrice and at lengthy intervals. This
rivalry was started in 1902, resumed
in 1922, and, until yesterday, ended
in 1927.
