Mr.. Nash, who operates Nash's
Food Market at 37O1 Fourth Ave.
South, doesn't think so much of
the community from which he gets
his bread and butter. At least
that's the impression he gave a
member of this papers staff who
approached him on the matter of
expressing his thanks through the
columns of this paper.
This is yearly custom of MANY
merchants who really appreciate
the patronage of the colored COM
munlty. Mr.. Nash was hostile
when he was reminded that a large
majority of his customers were
colored. He grew nasty in manner
when it was suggested that he
should have at least one colored
person on his weekly payroll.
When it was suggested that such
merchants as he would change
their attitudes when their colored
customers woke up to their real
attitude his only remark was
more power to you"
Nash represents the type of mer-
chant who deserves to be awak-
ened, not because he doesn't adver-
tise in the colored peoples paper,
but simply because his entire at
titude indicates he has no apprecia-
ton for the people who feed him
and his family.
There are others like him in both
cities.

THE SEED CATALOGUE

Just as the first falling leaves in
dictate the approach of winter, so
the arrival of the first seed catalogs
presage the coming of spring and
the mails are now bringing them
into Kennewick. They are as well
come as they ever were, too, with
their pictures probably a bit more
exaggerated in color and their des-
criptions as alluring as a circus
posture. They are missionaries of
better and happier living and faint
of heart is the citizen who can't
work up a lot of hopeful dreams by
perusing them. They at least ac-
complish one good purpose they
serve notice that gardening time is
coming on at rapid pace and that
early planting means better results
and more profitable returns. It
isn't a bit too early to plant your
garden, nor too late to remember
that success lies largely in the plan
ming With food prices sure to be
higher as the year progresses, a
home garden is again going to be a
profitable investment.

OLD FAD REVIVED

Things go in cycles, and the
fads of quarter of a century ago
are sure to come back even though
in a different form. It is easy to
recall when the bicycle fad swept
the country, for Kennewick ex-
perienced it the same as every 9TH
er community. Now the bicycle has
come back and bids fair to achieve
even greater popularity than it en-
joyed in the gay nineties." Re-
ports show that more than million
bicycles were manufactured and sold
in 1886, and that employment in
this industry has aided greatly in
national recovery. In towns and vii
lagos thousands of children are
again enjoying this healthful form
of exercise, while in cities thous-
ands of men are finding it an eco
nomica1 mode of transportation to
and from their work. So sales are
mounting and more and more men
being employed in the industry. All
of which is good news because any
thing that Is both economical and
healthful Is deserving Of place
in the America plan of living.

One hundred and fifty million
dollars is a lot of money for state
government for one and one-half
million people especially when only
about one-third of them are pro-
ducers. It totals about three hum
dred dollars per worker per year, or
one dollar for each working day,
providing you are fortunate enough
to work three hundred days. In adj
dition to this you must care for To-
cal government. This kind Of q bill
makes government q personal mat
ter and we wonder what we get for
our money. About twelve millions
of the one hundred fifty millions
will pay the cost Of our ordinary
garden variety Of government-leg-
islative and judicial, elective Off
GERS and boards administrative code
and appointive departments; forty
five millions will be the cost to the
state for educating our youth for
the two-year period; highways viii
cost forty millions; and charity.
pension claims, awards and assist
ance, will total over forty millions
All Of which Is all right II we can
afford to pay it.

This issue of The Courier-Re-

arrangements with the merchants of
>Kennewick who take this method of
inviting rural residents to come to
town. If they make purchases, so
much the better, but the invitation
is just as sincere, whether any
money changes hands or not. The
business people really want to build
up a friendship with residents of
the district and are always ready
and willing to do anything for the
general good of the community. The
merchants whose invitations are
printed in this issue are the leaders
in this movement.

Of course it hurts everyone to see
the game birds all other kinds,
too, for that understanding from
the snow and cold. Thousands and
thousands Of ducks, geese and up
land birds are suffering from cold
and hunger. With the migratory
birds particularly, much indigna-
ton has been expressed over the
fact that the federal game depart
ment has not made adequate pro-
visions. With the regulatory con-
troll which the government now
manages and the special duck
stamps which are demanded from
the hunters, it would seem that
ample funds are available some
where. The government by rights
certainly should handle this prob
lem. It ought not be up to the local
communities.

Several hundred legislative bills
have already been introduced over
at Olympia. and of course a big ma
jority of them will never get past
their introduction. Many will die
in committee and never see the floor
of either branch. However, in both
house. and senate, bills have been
introduced to have the upper end of
the North, Bank highway placed on
the states primary highway sys-
tenn. This is necessary, apparently,
before any state money can be
spent on the route. There should
be a chance of either one or the
other of the bills getting through
and coming up for vote. The To-
cal chamber of commerce is doing
everything possible to help the sit
uation.

THE LITTLE THINGS.

"What this country needs" is an
expression you hear almost daily.
And the last word is always diff
ferent from the first. It is true
that the country does need lot of
things, so adding one more to the
list can't hurt anything. The coun-
try needs a real sympathetic atti-
tude on the part of all in relation to
their fellow beings. It needs citi-
zens who will use the telephone
more to send message Of aid and
comfort instead Of a line Of sus-
picious hints that leave cloud on
someone's character. It needs more
of the spirit of neighborhood help
fulness, and less Of envy and jeal-
ousy when good fortune or new
ray of hope and sunshine comes
into one of those neighbours lives.
They are little things, Of course. But
that is exactly what the world
stands in need of now-more Of
those little things.

Since the snow. we have changed

Since the snow. we have changed
our minds about the proposed par
allied parking on the streets of Ken
newick. We have no great desire
to ape city mannerisms, being con-
tent to remain a friendly country
town, where as few restrictions as
possible are to be enforced. How
ever, the angle parking has really
made driving along the main street
dangerous. The side parking Is
more difficult, but the added safety
will make the effort worth while,
probably. Certainly no one can OBJ
ject to the two hour parking limit
save the clerks who will have to
walk whole block, maybe, to get
to the front door of the business
house where they are employed. We
are glad to see the change made.

FrNDING A NEW GOAT"

For about 20 years the auto has
been the goat" in this country in
the matter of tax assessments. Every
time a state legislature has sought
additional revenue it has slapped
some sort of tax on autos, or the
things the auto uses. And that is
true of all legislatures.
Today there is a new shout OF glee
in legislative halls, for the old tax
s'goat" is appearing in new garb,
and the milking process is about to
be done over again. This time, I'M
less all signs fail, the auto trailer
is going to bear the burden, and the
man who owns both a car and a
trailer is going to be doubly soaked.
Already legislatures in several states
are drawing up laws looking to this
end. Trailers have become nation
wide fad, and trailer-making has
become a giant industry. Already
the highways of the nation are alive
with this new and popular vehicle,
while sales of new ones are pouring
into the trailer factories in flood.
So the chance to plaster lot OF
taxes on the trailer is too good for
the legislatures to lose.
Car owners around Kennewick do
not have to be told that the auto
has long been the 'tax goat" in
this country, for they know from
experience. Now if they submit to
the same sort of program in the
case of trailers, it's their own fault.
because they name their own leg
islators. No one is going to kick
on just and equitable tax on
either car or trailer, or both. But
since it has been found possible
to overtax the auto and get away
with it the same thing is almost GER
tain to happen to the trailer. Watch
and see how near this prediction
comes to proving true.

EYES OR HEART?

EYES OR HEART?
Are you reading the flood news
with your eyes or with your heart?
That is putting it very bluntly, but
this is a time when blunt words
should be used.
More than a million people in the
central states are homeless through
no fault of their own, because of the
worst floods in the nations history.
Here in Kennewick we live in COM
parative safety, but certainly we
should not pick up our newspapers,
scan the headlines, look at the pic
lures and say: cts too bad"
Our country is asked to help the
homeless and foodless sufferers with
dollars as well as sympathy. They
haven't time to appreciate our SYM
pathy but money will buy them food
and clothing, which they so much
need.
This county's quota is $1,000. That
is the amount today. If the waters
continue to rise it will be much
more. Certainly that is not great
amount for our hearts in this coun-
try to give to this cause. But it must
be given now.
Send your check or cash to this
office, the chamber of commerce OF
to one of the collectors who are
making the house to house canvass
They will see that it gets forwarded
to the proper Red Cross chapter fol
transmission to the flood-stricker
area. Do it at once.
This call is going to every com.
munity in the country. It should bs
counted privilege to have par
in such q work. There is no queS
ton about our meeting our quota
we are sure.

BUILDING A TOURIST BUSINESS

BUILDING A TOURIST BUSINESS
While the humorists may be able
to prove that those of British des-
cent are below par in seeing the
point of joke, our neighbors to the
north have not been at all back
ward in getting the idea that the
tourist industry is one well worth
cultivating.
Last year the Dominion of Can
ada as a government, invested $780,
600 in advertising for tourists and
the word from those close to the sit
uation above the border report that
the campaign was productive of
splendid results.
Our Canadian neighbors went
after the better class of tourist
trade and have been analyzing the
results. They are convinced that
the money invested in advertising
for this new industry was money
very well spent and plans are UNI
der way for the expenditure of a
larger sum in 1897.
In addition to what the Dominion
spends, a number of the larger cities
of Canada are planning to spend
money to attract tourists to their
points of interest.
This indicates that the compe-
tition in the tourist field is be-
coming keener every year. If Wash
ington expects to secure any ap-
preciable portion of this fine bus
mess there will have to be official
action taken by the legislature.
This is too large q task for any
one group, nor should the burden
fall entirely upon their shoulders
when the entire state benefits. Con-
structive advertising for tourist bus
mess is not a state expense, but
state investment that will pay
handsome returns.

WHEN PLANES FALL

It must have occurred to most
every KenneWick citizen by this
time that 1897 has started off with
an unusual number of airplane &C
cidents, and that the year seems
destined to be an Inflated one for
this form of transportation. At
least a half-dozen tragedies, with
more than score of deaths, at the
very outset of the year tends to
this belief.
Older heads who pause to study
these mishaps, however, are inclin-
ed to view them In a different light.
They recall that for long years rail-
way accidents were Of almost daily
occurrence and people used to be as
much afraid to ride on train as
they are now afraid to ride the air.
planes. Then came, slowly but
surely, new safety inventions and
new methods Of railroading; new
type signal systems were perfected.
Today a railroad wreck is so UNI
usual that 1t actually attracts at
&ention.
It should be remembered that we
hear of every plane that falls, but
we do not hear of the thousands that
make safe landings. And it should
also be borne in mind that this
method Of transportation is still in
Its infancy. Inventors are burning
midnight oil in their endeavor to
make the planes absolutely safe and
their operation as free of danger
as are the railroad trains of today
They will succeed, the same as they
did in bringing safety to railroad
ing, and the day will come when
there will be no more fear of trav-
cling by airplane than there is now
in travelling by train or auto.
