You and Your
Nations Affairs
Lip Service to Economy

The mag that has been encountered
was not anticipated when the revenue
deficiency, vas first appreciated The
President suggested. IN his economy
message that he would exert his fun
influences to keep the various DEPART
ments well. within their appropria-
tons for the next year. This sugges-
ton. Of Itself. IS a rather damaging
revelation, for Il raises the question
whether or not such policy has been
applied heretofore in the fullest pos
sible degree. And il not. why notz
The essential question at issue Is
whether Congress shall have hand
in such economy program as may be
adopted. or whether il shall be left
to the PRESIDENT to be applied along
the lines Of the procedure just noted.
Under one proposal. Congress would
reduce the appropriations. Under the
other. Congress would authorize the
amounts originally asked for and the
President would DO the cutting.
Reduced TO its fundamentals. this
becomes the issue whether Congress
shall assume some initiative and some
responsibility in fiscal affairs. or shall
further promote the growth and
power of personal government by
evadins its own fiscal obligation.
Stated thus. the answer is clear. Con-
gresS should TX the total appropria-
tons with due regard to the need for
economy. There would be no objection
TO some administrative economizing
within these reduced appropriations.
and there would no doubt be plenty
Of room for It. No special sanction IS
needed for such administrative ex-
penditure control. as was regularly
exercised By President Coolidge.
Nothing can Be. more clear. how
ever. than that Congress VIII be seri-
ously negligent If il approves total
appropriations that show no effect OF
the present need to economic and
merely relies On executive discretion

appropriations Popular control over
the public purse means Congressional
control and not simply presidential
control. II We are 70 have rubber

DANGERS FOR A STRIKE

Something new comes from Canada
where a business concern has secured a
judgment of s2.S69 against the officials of
union as damages the loss suffered dur
ing strike which the court termed moth
ing more or less than mob law
So far as we know no company in the
United States has ever been awarded a
verdict for damages inflicted during a
strike but such verdict is net an impos-
sibility. The strength of the labor move
ment in this country, as well as anywhere
else, is public sympthy and support If
that is lost, all is lost.

One Of the shrewest comments on the
elevation Of Major Geo. L. Berry to the
senate comes from Arthur KrOck, veteran
correspondent of The New York Times,
who points out that there was day
when newspaper correspondents at a
slate capital knew with certainty that a
corporation lawyer, large campaign con-
iribuior in the ranks of industry. or its lob
bylst. o. a political kingmaker would get
an al interim appointment to the Senate. .
He says there is long distance in Amer
lean history from Major Berry to James r.
Grundy. Of Pennsylvania. which in the
opinion of many observers makes the Sem

aressional houses.

IT ALWAYS WORKS

TT ALWAYS WORKS
Everybody knows the story o.
Robinson Crusoe. how he wa:
stranded on an island with only 9
goat, a parrot and q black man a
his companions, and how badly hi
wanted to get off of that island. But
most people do not know that it was
advertising that got him off. He
had only a ragged shirt with which
to do his advertising. but he stuck
it on pole, planted the pole in the
ground, and waited. He didn't get
discouraged when no one came the
first day-no good advertiser does.
But he kept advertising his predica-
ment by means Of that old shirt
waving In the air-and finally he
got results. II Robinson Crusoe
with one old shirt could reach the
people he sought. how much more
easy 1t Is for merchants in this ter
ritory to reach the people they want
to sell goods to through the columns
of q modern, hometown newspaper?
Now that the winter buyizg season
is in full swing, this Is q pretty
timely subject to devote q little
study to.

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING

The Kennewick citizen who con.
tends that you can't get some
thing for nothing" is wrong. AL
he has to do Is catch cold and he
will realize that he can get enough
free "cold remedies" to fill book
OF the number, some may be ben
eficial, yet all of them are worth
less to those who know how to avoid
catching cold. Comfortable cloth
ing, fresh air in the sleeping room,
careful attention to the elimina-
ton of waste matter from the sys-
tenn and drinking plenty Of fresh
water daily will, it has been deter
mined, go far toward preventing
what we know as the common cold.
But even this fails at timeS-and
then is when a cold becomes dang
erous. In that case the best pos
sible advice i+go to bed. Don't
try to wear it out. Better the loss Of
little time spent In bed than con-
tracing one of the many serious
conditions that common colds are
capable of bringing on. Don't look
lightly on cold. Go right after it
the moment you feel it coming on,
and don't stop doctoring it until
you have it under control.

REWARD FOR SERVICES

It seems no more than fitting that
some public recognition should be
given to public servants who have
served the community long and well
This district has two such persons
and we would like to see them
honored for their long and faithful
efforts. We refer, of course to Jas
Johnston and M. N. Hudnall, both
Of whom have served as directors in
their respective irrigation districts
for more than twenty years.
MIR johnson has made something
of a record in another way. He not
only has been reelected term after
term, but he has an almost un-
broken record for attendance at the
meetings. If the man was able to
be about, he was in attendance at
the meetings nothing came ahead
OF his idea of his duty in this re-
spect. .-E,I'.
Long hours, and many, many of
them, brought perplexing problems.
Each was given the very best
thought and Judgment the man pos
sessed, and the progress made by the
organization attests the quality of
that work. Mr.. Johnson has played
q big part in arranging for the con-
duct and management of the Col
umbia district. His work has saved
every landowner in the district a
considerable sum of money and,
while 1t was all in line of duty,
nevertheless every landowner owes
Mr.. Johnston personally q debt of
gratitude which will never be paid.
The least that could be done would
be public acknowledgement of the
debt.
Mr.. Hudnall, while not yet ready
to retire from active service on the
Highlands board. can be credited
with many Of the fine compliments
which have already been paid to Mr..
Johnston. These two men richly
deserve the acclaim of the citizens
Of this community.
We are glad that Mr.. Hudnau
feels that he can continue his
work. While we appreciate. per-
haps little better than most indi-
viduals, the vast amount of time
and work and thought which enter
Into these jobs, and SO can evalu-
ate Mr.. Johnston's services, we can
zee his viewpoint. He has done his
share Of community work and more,
and is entitled to rest upon his [
laurels.

IT NIGHT HAVE BEEN

Some day we are going to take
time off and go through all the old
files and compile therefrom a size
able little booklet on things which
Kennewick almost got. After we
get all through with it well per-
haps add a chapter on some other
things which we ought to have.
Among this latter group will be one
item at least which by all rights.
should be located here. This par
ticular one is the Washington State
College.
There Is plenty of room for the
institution on the bench just south Of
town. It would be an exceptionally
slightly location, the soil and climat-
ic conditions are much more suit
able than at Pullman; Location in re-
lation to the rest of the state is
much in its advantage, three rail-
roads for transportation, on MAIN
translate highway-in fact every
qualification for the establishment
of the institution Is here
This is just one Of the many
things which Kennewick Is suited
for Don't you think that this local
ity has bright prospects for the fu-
ture? Can you think of another
town in the state which has as
many advantages? And yet the
complaint that Kennewick Is the
best next year" town in the world
is heard almost every day. Well,
for that matter 1t is and just
as soon as we find which corner
prosperity Is lurking behind, We'll
find that next year"

would be the finest guarantee
