MES for the government from tax
evaders, would spend a fraction OF
the energy and determination In
saving billions to the government by
enforcing efficiency and economy
measures, some worthwhile results
could be secured that might save
the people of this nation heavy in
creases in taxes and provide less in
centive to tax lodging.
The private tax dodger and the
economy lodging public official will
be in the same boat in public es-
TEEN before long. The only differ
ence between the two is that the
tax dodger may cost the hard-press-
ed taxpayer pennies, while the off,
cial economy -dodger costs him mil
lions.

HEADING WEST

A little over hundred years ago
courageous and intrepid pioneers in
covered wagons were blazing trail
from the Mississippi river into the
great northwest territory, a route
today familiar to most everyone
around Kennewick as the Oregon
Trail. Just now, according to gov
eminent reports, a new trek is un-
derway. This time the fortune
seekers are using autos and trail
ers instead of covered wagons, but
their object is the same. They are
hunting.
Today the going is easy. Modern
bridges span turbulent streams that
exacted heavy tolls of life and prop
erty in the early Gays Of pioneer
ing. Perfectly paved roads shorten
the distance to hours instead of
weeks. In three years, it is carefully
estimated, $4,000 families have ar
rived in Washington, Oregon, Ida
no and Montana, most Of them
from the drouth-plagued states.
Some are able to purchase land,
erect buildings and buy farm ma
chinery. Others, however, arrive
in broken-down old cars and are
penniless. They must rely upon
state or government agencies not
only for their existence, but also for
a chance to develop new home.
Few realize better than residents
of the Northwest themselves the
problems arising from the influx
and already organized effort is UNI
der way to discourage the migra-
ton of those who are not able to
finance themselves and pay their
own way. It is matter worthy of
serious study by anyone contem-
plating a change of location.

SOCIETY MEETS

Several members of the literary
society showed promise of being
good debaterS at the weekly meet
ing of the club at the home of
Oliver Brownlee last Wednesday
night. Each try-out for the team
had prepared a very elaborate de-
bate on one specific point of both
the affirmative and negative sides
of the query, Resolved, that the
government should own and oper-
ate all electric light and power
utilities. The program was not a
debate; members merely read their
papers, no attempt being made TO
present polished debates. This col.
umn listed last week the names OF
those participating. l.. X. Singley
and George Fain were also present
at the meeting to act as judges,
and later gave very helpful sug-
gestions to the debaters.
On Monday past the club met at
the home of Marion Bracket, with
a variety program consisting OF
impromptu debates. Two-mlnute
debates were held on the queries,
Resolved, that extra-currlcula ac-
tiyities are more valuable than
classroom work. and o nthe above

Are Substantially
Without Clues In
Butcher Murder
Alabama Officers Open
New Avenues of Probe
in Double Killing

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Jan. 20.
(UP)-Policc last night opened
two new avenues Of investigation
as they threw all their forces into
hunt to track down the dutch
er" who murdered a young couple
keeping q love tryst in cemetery
briar patch here.
Officers admitted, however.
that they virtually were without
substantial clues to aid them in
their search for the man who cut
the throats Of blonde, 22-year-old
Dora Billiard and 36-ycar-old
Leon X. Nichols.
One clue, however, was the
report that q white man, crossing
the briar patch approximately at
the time of the Staying, saw
negro in the vicinity and heard a
woman's screams.
While they sought to run down
this report. officers checked ru.
mors that the cStrangcd husband
of Miss Bullard. who had rc-as-
sumed her maiden name, was seen
in Montgomery recently.
Detective A. G.. Dennison said,
however, that neither Of these re-
ports had been verified.
The couple, apparently taken
by surprise and overpowered with
out struggle, were killed almost
instantly by the butcher" Their
throats were cut, apparently with

Advisory Board
To Aid Colored
Civic Leaguers
Library For Colored En-.
ployment For Women,
Are Among Goals

The advisory board, appointed
to assist the Carter G. Woodson
Civic League, colored, met with
the organization on Monday night
at the city hall, and several prob
lens were discussed.
The new board is composed of
Mayor A. V. Edwards. Mrs. o. A.
Meyer, DR.. L. B. Mcdonald, Mr..
w. II. Gale and Rev. N. Colin
Hughes, and will serve as inter-
mediary Of the league in its ma
jor problems and undertakings.
The problem of securing some
type of work for the colored wo-
men who were dropped from the
WPA payrolls when the sewing
room was closed to them last
spring, most Of whom have been
unemployed since that time, was
brought to the attention of the
board.
While there are several prof.
ects being worked out, the fore
most is the effort of the league
to establish a public library for
the colored people of this COM
munity.
The local unit of the N. Y. A.
is cooperating with the league in
this effort in that they are pre-
pairing class room in the Ebe-
nezer Presbyterian church to
house the library at present. We
have the promise of quite selec-
ton of reading matter to be
placed in the library already. we
will appreciate any contribution OF
books. magazines or reading mat
ter Of any kind. ,
We wish to inform the general
public that the drive, or campaign,
launched several weeks ago to
better equip the colored ward at
Patton Memorial hospital for COM
fort of patients is soon to be
closed and ask that any person
wishing to contribute to this
cause do so in this final plea. =,
The league is indeed grateful
to Rev, Mr.. Hughes in his effort
to obtain such fine characters as
the personnel Of the advisory
board. We appreciate the interest
that each individual manifested IN
our organization by accepting
membership on this board:
With the aid of these influen-
tial persons we hope to accomplish
many needed and worthwhile I'M
dertakings.

every Scout to go up for some ad-
vancement at the court of honor

my COUNTRY IT'S OF THEE"

to himself has said, This is my
own, my native land-'"
And how much do we know
about our native land. Our coun'
try. These United States. There
probably isn't a one in our own
home town who doesn't know al
the cross roads, the by-roads OF
that town. But what does he know
of the rest of his state. Does he
know what the major crop of his
state is? Does he have any idea
as to what minerals might abound
within his states Does he know
whether his state has state flow
er? A state flag? A state nick.
name? Any idea as to what is on
the state seal? The motto of his
state, if there is one? Does he
have any notion as to what the
major industries of his own state
might be? If his answer is mo"
to all these questions, then the
likelihood is he knows little or
nothing about the rest of the
states in these United States. And
why should he know about his
country? That is likely the most
often answer that would be given
to his questioner. We counter
with the query, "Why shouldn't
he?" Our country is a vast one.
1t is a magnificent one. 1t is an
Industrious one. 1t is a tremen-
dous agricultural one. Doesn't il
arouse your curiosity to want to
know more about your country?
The people of any European
country know more about their
native land than the citizens of
the United States know about
their own land. Isn't that some
thing to be proud of? No, en-
phatically, no!
1t is for this reason that / am
attempting to tell the people of
this town, through the columns of
its daily newspaper, some OF the
more or less important and inter-
esting facts about our state and
our country. Are yuh readin'?
