that the majority party is split wide
open. And it seems certain that in
January, when the second session
starts, the "rebeP' movement will
be much farther advanced than at
present.
Highly significant was an episode
occurring on the last day in the
Senate. Senator Guffey, Democrat
of Pennsylvania, has openly suggest
ed that the President use his influ-
ence to defeat Democratic senators
opposing his measures in the next
primaries. Four senators rose and
poured, in the words of an A. P.
dispatch, "vials of contempt and de-
nunciation" upon Senator Guffey.
The four were Senators Wheeler,
Burke, O'Mahoney and Holt. Wheel
er and Burke, though they disagree
on many issues, are considered to be
among the ablest minds in the party.
This incident accurately indicates
the way the wind blows inside the
majority party.

LAND GAMBLING

LAND GAMBLING
The average Kennewick citizen
capable of thinking back to the days
Immediately following the World
War will recall that the country at
that time passed through an era OF
"land gambling" He will also re-
call that with wheat, corn and
most all other farm products sell
ing at the highest prices ever known
many farmers plunged in and ex-
pended all their savings for more
land-also then bringing wartime
prices. Others mortgaged the acres
they owned and added more acreage.
Then the bubble burst. Prices OF
farm products declined, and so did
the value of acreage. Today, with
prices again in the ascendancy there
is fear that another land gambling
spree" is about to be INDUCED in.
Many new citizens have come upon
the stage since the sad experiences
of some 16 years ago, and they are
the ones most apt to suffer. Rising
prices for farm products can be
viewed with joy and gratitude. But

fashioned common sense.

YOUR CREDIT

YOUR CREDIT
There are in every community
people who repudiate moral obl-
cations, who shunt duty aside and
actually hope to escape payment Of
their debts through some sort Of
technicality. While it IS possible
that the obligation may not. in
every instance, be equitably just,
there still remains the duty to meet
those that are, or at least to ack-
nowledge them and make an honest
endeavor to do so. Refusal to be
bound by a moral obligation can
only mean the destruction Of credit
sooner or later, and in this as in
every community credit and person.

If you destroy one you destroy both.
Keep your credit good" is the sound
advice that was handed to the older
generation; it should be still bet
ter for the rising generation because
it's future is before it. But it will
not be a very pleasant future for
those who deliberately destroy their
credit by repudiating their moral OBJ
legations.

THE COST OF LIVING

There has always been a general
belief that there is a wide varia-
ton between the cost of living in
town and living out in the rural dis
tricts. Doubtless many Kennewick
citizens have at various times dis
cussed the subject, and yet failed to
reach a satisfactory conclusion. Now
the answer seems to be at hand.
According to home management
specialist at the Nebraska College Of
Agriculture, it costs much less to
live on farm than it does in q
town or city. She made complete
survey of $50 account books kept by
city and farm wives and the fig
ures arrived at would probably vary
little in any state in the union. The
accounts reveal that it costs a town
family an average of $1,612 to live
during the year, compared to $1,227
average for the farm family. Food
cost for the average city family was
1888 a year, compared to $500 for
the farm home. The summary shows
that Dad spends $49.38 for cloth
ing in the city while out on the
farm it costs him only $685.. Mo-
theirs clothes were more expensive
in the city, too.
House rents drove the city dwell
er's cost up considerably. Rent was
figured at 9 percent depreciation on
the assessed value Of the buildings.
With this as q basis the summary
showed farm families averaged $160
a year for shelter, compared to $17l
for the city family. Fuel, light. wa
ter, telephone and automobile ex-
penses ran higher in the city, but
expenditures for education, church,
recreation, health and gifts runs
even everywhere.

SAME OLD BUNK

SAME OLD BUNK
There are a good many people
around Kennewick capable of re-
membering the tales of Old World
atrocities told in America just aft
er Germany declared war on France
in 1914. They recall the stories of
how the Germans were burning lit
tie children in oil, cutting off the
noses and toes of war prisoners,
and all that. At first the stories
were just whispered. Then every
one began to talk out loud and the
first thing anyone realized q pow
erful public sentiment had been
created against Germany and
everything German. These stories
had lot to do with America get
ting mixed up In the war two years
later.
History is repeating itself, for an
other new batch Of atrocity stories
are drifting into America and be-
ing circulated, mostly by radicals
and Communists. Unless checked
at the source, however, more con-
sentative people will be repeating
them, and public sentiment will
again take q stand for or against
some foreign nation.
Right now, with cannon roaring
in the Old World and good reason
to believe that an even greater war
than the World War is in the maxi
ing, is a good time to turn deaf
ear to atrocity stories. Take all the
foreign reports of butchery and bar
barism with q grain Of salt and
don't repeat what you hear. In do
ing so you will help your country to
remain absolutely neutral. II we
can continue to remain that way we
won't get mixed up in the next
great struggle, and the ocean Of
blood that may be spilled over
there will not be the blood Of Am
erican citizens.

Acute When FDR Sends
In Appointment

Washington, Aug. 3.-Senator

there was no vacancy in the

Roosevelt to fill.
Borah, recognized as one of
the Senate's leading constitut-
ional authorities, took the floor
today to continue yesterdays
debate on the subject of when
the President should fill the
vacancy of the court caused by
the retirement of Justice Will

Attorney General Cummings
had ruled the President could
make a recess appointment and
need not nominate a justice
before Congress adiourns.
Referring to the vacancy as
a supposed vacancy the Ida

" J want to invite the Senatc's

do not think there is any vacan

Borah said he would not be

President Roosevelt he could
delay the nomination until Con-

There are only three ways
