DOCTOR GRANTED
 $333 JUDGMENT
On Re-TriaI Ordered By Supreme Court Wins
 Decision

In a re-trial, ordered by the su- preme court of errors, of the suit of Dr. Edwin c. Reade of Watertown against the Indemnity Insurance Co. of America, Dr. Reade was yes- terday awarded damages of $333.07. Judge Origen L. Seymour who heard the trial in the court of common pleas handed down the judgment.
 The supreme court, in ordering the re-trial stated that evidence re- garding the service of papers on the state insurance commissioner should be taken and by agreement this was the only phase of the case argued on. A deputy sheriff of Hart ford claims he served the papers on the chief clerk in the absence of the commissioner. The chief clerk could not recall any such serv- ice but Judge Seymour ruled that he was very busy man and prob ably could not recall the service, and that the deputy sheriff was probably correct about the service. Since this case it has been noted that deputy sheriffs and others engaged in the business of serving papers take par ticular care to serve them on the insurance commissioner or someone specially designated by him in his absence.
 Dr. Reade's claim is based on services he rendered Warren Hum iston who was injured in an auto- mobile crash several years ago. The owner of the defendants car was insured by the Indemnity Insurance Co. of America and settlement was made for $500, but the insurance company failed to recognize the doctors garnishee for $250 and he brought the suit

K.: Now, Count, what dyou know about the real motive for this party?
 F.: Real motive? There's only one as far as know - stealing a little summer down in these waters before New York becomes livablc again. I'm just mad about sun shine, but maybe that's my Italian blood.
 K: Dyou mean to tell me you | had no idea that an amalgama- ton between the big soap interests was to be negotiated during this trip?
 P: That's news to me. The only thing that l know about soap is that it's useful to wash with.
 K: How long have you known MT. Rocksavage?
 P; Just three and half days.
 K.: You'd never met him, then, before you came on board at New York?
 F.: No, sir.
 K.: How long have you known Bolitho Blanc?
 P: I'd never met him, either. I'd heard of him, of course, as a big financier, but I didn't even know that he was interested in soap.
 K: All right. What about the Jap, Inosuke Hayashi? How long have you known him?
 F.: The name applies. l didn't even know of his existence before he came on board yesterday af- ternoon.
 K.: But if you've never had any dealings with any of these people can you give me a satisfactory ex- planation as to why Rocksavage invited you to join this outfit?
 P: He didn't. It was Reggie Jocelyn who asked me if I'd like to come along for few days sun shine and big-game fishing.
 K.: How long have you known Jocelyn?
 P: met him coming over on the Normandie, and later devel- oped the acquaintance in New York. His wife is Lady Welter's daughter and I gather that Lady Welter is a very old friend of MT. Rocksavage. In fact, although Miss Rocksavage is nominally hostess here, Lady Welter gave me the impression that she was running the party and, as the in- vitation came from Ter son-in-law, I didn't hesitate to accept it.
 K: Thank you. Count. That1l do for the present.

 K: Were you in the lounge the whole of that time?
 C.: Yes, I was there the whole time, sir, as they kept me pretty busy mixing drinks, except, of course, for two brief absences be- tween TAO and 7:45. MT. Stodart took down some figures from the notice board in his pocket book, tore out the leaf and asked me ot take 1t down to MT. Blane's cabin. I knocked and there was no reply, so I took it up again, and then Mir. Stodart remarked that MT. Bane was probably in his bath, so he sent me down with 1t again and told me to slip it under MT.

YOU CAN'T DO TT

YOU CAN'T DO 1T
No matter what you may have to
say in praise Of the radio as COM
pared with the newspaper, there are
a lot of things you can't do. For In
stance, you can't put q radio broad
cast in your pocket and read it at
your leisure. You can't save clip
ping from a radio broadcast. You
can't stop listening to answer q
knock at the front door without
missing something. You can't get a
line on market prices when you
he program ha is beig beaoinnnn
have but q few minutes to spare
but the program that IS being broad
cast has another half-hour to run.
You can't find out what your own
neighbors are doing, for you can
listen to the radio forever and you
will never hear about the deaths and
accidents, the marriages and the
births, the fires and the festivals
in your own community. You can't
mark something Of interest and
send it to distant relative by mail.
And no housewife in all the world
can use radio broadcast for nice,
clean pantry shelf covering. It's a
wonderful thing, this thing we
know as radio. But it hasn't taken
the place of the hometown paper.
And it never will.

BE A GOOD SPORT

All this talk about what will hap
pen unless trees are protected from
slaughter and soil from erosion is
worthy Of study. But there is still
another phase Of conservation that
is treated too lightly by quite few
people around Kennewick during
each fall and winter season, and
that is the mater of conserving wild
life.
Protecting game does not mean
refusing to hunt when it is legal to
do so, nor does it mean abstaining
from the killing of such game in
season as the laws Of the state per-
init. Game conservation means
nothing more and nothing less than
being good sport and killing in
lawful season only sufficient amount
for your needs. It does not mean
killing by wholesale simply because
the game is to be had and your
craftsmanship is good, nor does II
mean killing your quota If a lesser
amount will meet your food de-
mandS.
That this community, like mos,
all others, has its share Of game
hogs" Is common knowledge to 9
great many real sportsmenthe
kind who are satisfied to kill only
what they need and who are too Law
abiding to kill during the closet
season. But the game hog" iks
the man who poisons dogs or dyna.
mites fish, is almost always too willy
to be caught in the act. A nttl'
closer cooperation with the stat,
game conservation department, ant
a more careful watch for game Law
violations will, however. go q loni
way toward discouraging such act
ivity in this community. II tn
honest sportsmen will make 1t plail
that they are the enemies Of 81
game hogs" then hunting will b
more Of a Joy for those who In
dulge in it. and human needs VII
be more easily satisfied becaus
there will be more game to kill.

TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT

Start out tomorrow and canvass
the county, asking every man you
meet how many different divisions
of government there are in the o.
S., and it is safe to say not one Will
be anywhere near correct in his es-
innate.
For two years the Job Of counting
the actual number has been under
way, and the result should make
every taxpayer in Kennewick open
his eyes in wonderment. The total
shows that there are in this country
$4,000 school districts, 10000 town.
ships, 10000 incorporated cities,
towns, boroughs and villages, 5000
counties, and 5000 miscellaneous
sewer districts, park districts, levee
districts, etc. It must be remember
ed that each of these 175,418 dis
tricts has its payroll, and also that
each district has the power to tax.
This is, as all must admit, most
wasteful setup. There are at least
ten times too many of these gov
ernmental subdivisions. Because
they are conferred in Washington,
federal employees draw concen-
trated fire of criticism because Of
their numbers. But, in reality,
their numbers are insignificant
when compared with the great army
of overlapping employees of lesser
political and governmental units.
Residents of every state cry aloud
for economy in public affairs and
reduction in taxes, and never turn
a hand toward consolidating some
of their units of state and county
government, and abolishing those
for which there is no real need.
Until there is a nationwide move
In that direction we must continue
to live in a country that suffers
from too much government.

ECONOMIC H1GHL1GHTs

ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS
Mr.. Roosevelt's announcement OF
q special session of Congress, to con-
vene November Is, cannot be head
lined as surprise. AS this column
pointed out some time ago, men in
touch with the White House were
convinced that the President had
determined on special session
months ago, and the only question
was the precise date.
Asserted reason for the session is
new farm aid legislation, with fed
eral hours and wages laws as run
ners-up in Importance. But in the
view of some commentators. the real
purpose of the special SESSION has not
been officially announced.
Those who follow politics have no.
tced rather remarkable change in
Mr.. Roosevelt's recent speeches and
pubic announcements. He has been
much less critical than in the past
Of the groups which oppose his adj
ministration's aims and methods. On
his swing around the country, most
of his major and minor talks were
comparatively mild In tone and
wording. It has been widely said by
responsible newspapermen, that the
speech he had originally planned to
deliver at Bonneville was a slaShng
attack on the opposition-and that
he changed his mind once he got
away from the always stultifying air
of Washington, and substituted the
calm and relatively dispassionate
speech he actually delivered.
As q consequence, to use the
words Of Paul Mallon, there Is q
strong feeling that ."al this maneu-
vering Of the past few weeks Is q
clever and effective screen lor 8
