SPECIAL ELECTION

Unless there is more interest
shown by civic groups, clubs, ETC., in
the special election within the next
two weeks, the election will fail be-
cause of a lack of votes, even tho
all those who do go to the polls vote
for the proposition. It would seem
that those people interested in see
ing the library and park work con-
tinued would show little interest
in the matter, because if the millage
fails to go over this work will Ger
tainly be curtailed during the COM
ing year.
Aside from these angles the hard
headed business man who wants to
see the city operate on as little
money as possible, should in his own
interests plug for the passage OF
the levy for it will mean the reduc-
ton of the interest charges on the
outstanding Indebtedness and a sub
stantial saving in insurance rates as
soon as the city is able to handle the
housing of the fire department ade-
quately.
Naturally, it isn't up to the city
officials to plug for the passage OF
the levy. They haven't anything
more at stake than any other citi-
zen. If the election is to pass there
must be more interest shown in it
from now on. ..

The anti-KK.K. people are now

The anti-K.K.K. people are now
wanting to know why their two
representatives in the Senate, Bone
and Schwellenbach, voted against
permitting the senate to investigate
this charge before it confirmed the
appointment of the senator. There
is not excuse for the senators. Sena-
tor Bone is up for reelection next
year. He will be the first to feel the
heavy hand of this antagonized vote.
Schwellenbach's turn will come two
years later. It is ticklish position
for the two senators, one which can
not be explained away. The very
fact that they both refused to per-
NIT an investigation naturally Gre
ates a doubt in the minds of the
public as to whether or not they
knew these charges were true. It is
not a question as to whether the
Judge was member of the xxx.
or not. It is simply a question of
permitting an investigation. This
the two Washington senators re-
fused.

GAS TAX MONEY


Under a new federal law the gov
eminent is Withholding $250,000 in
road funds from the state of New
Jersey as a penalty for that states
use of gas tax revenues for other
than road purposes. And the mo-
florists of the nation will be glad of
it. AS every motorist around Ken
newick knows, car owners have not
been getting a square deal in the
past few years so far as their gas
tax money is concerned. Legisla-
lures in all states used the depres-
sion as an excuse for diverting gas
tax revenue to sources for which it
was not legally collected and as a
result the nations highway system
has fallen into a sad state of re-
pair. The owner Of an auto pays
the same general taxes as the man
who does not own car. And on
top of this he has to pay through
the nose for the privilege of opera
ting his car on the roads. The law
specifies that his gas taxes shall be
used to maintain those roads. When
it is diverted to some other use the
motorist is being cheated. Uncle
Sam now has in this new law the
power to check such cheating, and
other states besides New Jersey
probably will ere long find out that
here, in reality, is one law that has
teeth in it.

The people of Richland are to
be congratulated on their new
school house proposition. Upon COM
pletion of the project, not only Will
the children of that district be pro-
vided with school facilities which
will be the equal of those provided
by the more populated districts, but
the community will be provided with
a public meeting place much bet
ter than most small places can hope
for.
Everyone realizes that these i'm
provements do not just fall into the
lap of the public. Every such prof.
ect means hours and days and weeks
of hard work on somebody's part
Those in the Richland district who
have put in this preliminary work
are deserving of unlimited praise
and should have the hearty thanks
of the community.

A CHALLENGE

=
If single men 80 years old or less
of sound mind and body, cannot
support themselves in days like
these it is worth an effort to fino
out why. The depression emery
ency is over. Except for strikes
factories are operating at near-rec-
ord production. The cry for more
help on the farms has been heard
for months. If any able-bodied
man, not more than 80 years old,
cannot manage to feed, clothe and
shelter himself under such condi-
lions then the taxpayers, out Of
whose pockets come the relief funds,
are entitled to know why. America
was built by men and women who
managed for themselves. If it is to
continue to be the kind of country
in which we all can take pride, the
job must be done by those who dig
for themselves and make a go of it
despite the difficulties. The aver
age citizen around KenneWick feels
the time is ripe for a show down in
the relief set-up in this country. He
doesn't want to see any worthy per-
son suffer. But he has grown tired
of helping to support those who,
in thousands of cases should now
be able to support themselves. rid
the relief rolls of able bodied men"
is about to become a national slo-
gan.

THE SCHOOL FLAG

Starting this fall, school teachers
in Georgia who do not display the
Stars and Stripes at their school
each day they are in session will not
be paid the salaries recently voted
them under a new system of state
school support. The state board of
education has ruled to that effect,
though it ought not to have been
necessary. School teachers in every
state in the union should have
enough love and respect for their
country to want to display its flag
before the future citizens whose
minds are entrusted to their train
ing. There is room for but one
flag in this country, despite the fact
that a radical element scattered in
all parts of it are constantly trying
to hoist a substitute. The school
houses of this country are the
foundation upon which future Am
erican citizenship rests. For that
reason alone the American flag
should have a place within the walls
or roof of every one of them.

BETTER READ 1T

The recent loss to poor widow
in a neighboring state of insurance
money that would have cared for
her comfortably the remainder of
her life must have impressed every
one who read about it with the i'm
portance of reading the fine print
on not only an insurance policy but
on everything else to which a sigma
ture is placed.
Almost every Kennewick citizen
is, in the course of his or her life
time, called on to sign some sort of
contract or agreement. In almost,
every instance such documents carry
stipulations, reservations or agree
ments in very fine print, and in a
majority of instances the person
placing his signature to it does so
without a careful reading of that
fine print. The results have been
anything but pleasant for thous-
ands of people. Where there is
deliberate intention of practice de-
ception, this fine print serves the
dishonest salesman or business con-
Germ with a loophole through which
to escape responsibility. No matter
what sort of verbal contract you
may have had, it is null and void if
the fine print on the printed con-
tract specifies differently.
Careful reading of every word on
the contract or agreement you are
about to sign may prevent serious
misunderstanding and financial
loss. No matter how much conf
dence you may have in the salesman
or his firm, always read the fine
print before you put your name to
it. If it's meaning is not then clear
ly understood by you, then let it
alone or insist upon it's being so
worded that you will not later on
be left holding the bag.

FINE TRAINING

Those Kennewick citizens who
have had little or no contact with
the training offered the youth of the
land through the various activities
of the numerous All clubs, are due
to open their eyes in establishment
once they become acquainted with
actual results.
Fourth work and the opportuni-
ties it offers for development of per-
sonal interests and self-reliance are
almost unlimited. Youths, through
their variius projects, learn useful
and worthwhile ways in which to
employ their spare time, and in con-
Quoting their meetings learn all the
fine points of rules of order and dis
cipline. A Al club meeting is not
q casual get-together but an order
ly, well-regulated session, and the
youths elected to office gain exper-
fence which equips them far better
to assume positions of leadership in
later life than was possible in years
past. The growth of the movement
has been rapid because it has SO
steadily proved its value.
Youth activities recently have
been developed by adults to give
them something to do which will di-
rect their excess energies in a pro-
gressive course. The work of the
4-H clubs is offering to the entire
country a fine example of what
youth founded and youth conduct
ed organizations can be, of every
citizen who has the best hearty sup
port, morally and financially, of
every citizen who has the best in
terests of future Americans at heart.
Parents of g rowing boys and girls
in this and every other neighbor-
hood can do no better thing than
to encourage them in the principles,
the purposes and the actual activi-
ties of All clubs of every descrip-
ton. -,

 During the last minute rush all day yesterday and last evening the local workers estimated that some 1000 returns were handed in at the office. All of these were mailed to Hartford today.
 A Busy Year
 This year has been the busiest from standpoint of income tax re- turns that the local office has had in many years. Last year in the entire city, including work done by accountants and sent in by mail to Hartford, there were more than 1000 returns filed. Judging from the in- crease in business this year and from the increase actually recorded at the local office during the en- tire period, it is estimated that more than 5000 persons in the city will have filed income tax returns.
 Work will start in checking up delinquent returns. It is not expect ed that there will be many in the city this year.
 Office Closed
 The internal revenue office closed last evening at 9 o'clock after a full day of taking care of last minute filers. This year there has been a great increase in the income earn CTS of the $l,000-$5,000 class, an item which reflects the gradual up- trend in business in the city during the past two years in some respects.
