The Reason Why

Here's why:
Most of the 300 who are to be
released and given preference"
for field posts under collectors
could well have been transferred
outright and thereby kept their
civil service status. .As it is, they
must resign, then take their
chances in the field. Revenue
officials point out that those who
resign retain their status" but it
is also admitted that while they
work in the field they are without
civil service protection.
Anti-Merit Gesture
Another item: Many Of the Bu-
reau'S 300 unluckies are married
and have established homes in the
District. Furniture and houses
have been bought, and now the
question of moving expense faces
many. In shifts from city to city
the Government will not pay ex-
penses of moving for an employe
who has resigned" and "ac-
cepted" another post in the same
bureau, though. in certain cases
of official transfer workers are
given some amelioration. q. Inter
nal Revenue says it believes all
separated" personnel will be "ab-
sorbed" one place or another with
in its structure-in not more than
six months reconsideration
of this anti-merit gesture would

About the r. C..
Swimming School

Kennewick people are to be vel
coined at the Red Gross swimming
school to be conducted ut the Pasco

ment made at the chamber Of COM
merce meeting this noon.
Last week the announcement was
given out that the Pasco beach was
open to the general public but that
participation In the swimming
school would be limited to residents
Of Franklin county only.
The school has been conducted
by the Red Cross branch and not the
Kiwanis club although the Kenne-
wick club participated In its cost q
couple Of years. For the past two
years however the Kennewick club
did not help out with he expenses.
which run something over q hum
dred dollars for the two weeks
course.
As Kennewick is In the Yakima

week from the Yakima chapter for
an appropriation for the swimming
school. A hundred dollars was al
located for the purpose, so Kenne-

Property Owners to
Petition for
Irrigation Service

Distribution OF irrigation water In
the city limits has long been mostly
a matter Of individual effort. Pri-
vate and group pipe lines have been
constructed at various times, most
Of them by now in sad state OF re-
pair. The leaks are causing the
city more or less expense In the way
OF road repairs, etc. aa
The plan to have the situation
handled by the city has reached the
stage where the irrigation district
has agreed to the formation OF the
improvement district, IL the city will
handle the operation and mainten-
ance. Before the district can pro-
coed, however. petitions from prop
erty owners requesting the service
must be submitted.
Boundaries OF the district have
been tentatively agreed upon and
will include the land south OF the
tracks to the ditch and the east por-
ton Of the land north OF the tracks
from the Duffy property to the
bridge. The Olmsted and Morains
addition are omitted because they
lie In the Kennewick Irrigation dis
trict. Tomkins addition In the Gar
den Tracts is also included within
the district.
Petitions will be circulated this
week asking property owners TO
sign up for the service.
Mayor e. II. Behrman appeared
before the chamber OF commerce
meeting this noon explaining the
details Of the plan and asking for
assistance In circulating the petit
tons. While he was unable to es-
innate the cost Of the service TO the
property owners Il was agreed that
It would be very nominal spread
throughout the district.

Shooting Dates
Set for Upland
Bird Hunting

Release Of approximately thirty
thousand Chinese pheasant roosters
from this years hatch has been
commenced by the Washington
State Game department.
Game farm men and state game
protectors will be busy until early
September transporting the pheas-
ants from eight of the nine state
game farms to wild converts. The
birds will average eight to nine
weeks Of age at liberation. They
will be virtually full grown and q
welcome addition to any nimrod's
bag by the time the booming OF
shotguns heralds the opening of
the hunting season late in Octo-
Der.
Previous to the present paintings
the game department already had
liberated this year nearly $4,000
pheasants, mostly hens that were
turned free early enough In the sea-
son to raise broods OF young In the
wild. Game officials look for this
total plant Of approximately $4,000
pheasants-the largest ever made In
the United States--to offset losses
sustained by the wild bird hatch
during the heavy June rains.
Jump dates" for the open season
this fall for hunting Chinese pleas
ants, and Hungarian cartridges and
quail In some counties, will be Oct.
"a, IS. "a. 80. 81 and Nov. 3, 6 and z.
Without quoting any definite
number, Game Director Bernard T..
McCauley has promised that during
the next winter the state game de-
partment viii retain as many birds
as ever before, even though the to-
tai summer liberation will consti-
tute q new high record.

Communism Is
Real Threat Here,
Speaker Says

The threat Of communism is very
real in this country, DR.. w. d.
Herrstrom told members Of the XII
wants club at their luncheon Tues.
day noon. DR.. Herrstrom Is spend
ing a week in Kennewick delivering
lectures at the Methodist church. He
has direct communication with the
activities Of the communistic head
quarters both in this country and
abroad. He claims to know many Of
the inner1nost workings OF the or
ganization.
This country, DR.. Herrstrom stat
ed, has made its astounding record
Of progress under the so-called cap
italistic plan, the American way OF
business. Other countries. under
other forms Of management, have
Jagged behind in every line OF en-
deavor and labor particularly has
suffered thereby.
While not denying the right o,
labor to organize. to bargain collect.
lively or to strike, DR.. Herrstron
stated that these rights should b,
exercised in q legal manner. Sit.
down strikes or violence violates thu
constitution and are evidences o.
the activities OF the communism
element which endeavors to over.
throw all organized branches o.
government.
He said that there is plenty o.
evidence to convict q New York banl
Of financing the Russian revolu.
ton, which he characterized as tn.
most colossal failure In history. II,
said that the advancement Of Mus.
solini and Hitler to dictatorship
was all that saved Europe from be.
ing taken over by the communists
who had plans all worked out ant
even had ammunition in the larger
cities for the overthrow Of the 10.
cal governments.
The same threat Is rampant ir
this country, he stated, citing thu
Go efforts here. He had positive
proof, he stated, that John w
Lewis name was upon the com.
munists' honor roll for 1887, along
with Stain and Earl Browder, He
said that it was up to business as Q
whole to start and wage an active
campaign against all forms Of COM
munism IL this country was tc
maintain its present standards.
DR.. Herrstrom, in connection with
his religious activities, has been
preaching against the spread OF
communism for years and on five
separate occasions attempts have
been made upon his life.

About Work ON
Washington Street

It will probably be another ten
days before the county construction
crew gets at the resurfacing Of
Washington street according to word
received by the city council from
County Engineer n. J. Strandwold
Monday evening.
The job was promised for the 18th
Of June then postponed until the
fifth Of July because Of an unexpect-
ed condition found on the Weber
Canyon road near Benton City
where the road crew was working.
For the same reason this last delay
was caused. The equipment cannot
be moved until that job is complet-
ed, which will require another week
or ten days.
The city was required to replace
sixteen section Of the concrete high
way the past week. This work came
under the city jurisdiction and ran
considerably over the estimate. The
engineer first required but three
sections to be replaced, then called
for seventeen, cut it down to four
teen, and through an error (Which
the city had to pay for neverthe-
less) sixteen were actually replaced.
The cost was in excess of q hundred
dollars section, which may cause
some skimping Of he Washington
Street work.

Concerning the
Pillsbury Mill

When the general manager for
the Pillsbury Mills left Kennewick
recently, he stated that as soon as
there was some definite information
available concerning their opera
lions here, he would see to it that
this paper had the first opportunity
for publication. Since that time no
information regarding their activ-
tiles has been received.
The apparent delay In getting
started on the work here is due to
the fact that the task of clearing
the titles to the land which the
company has purchased Is taking q
longer time than was expected. This
work is going ahead as rapidly as
possible and will no doubt be clean
ed up in the very near future.
In the meantime, however, other
angles are being taken up by the
company. For instance, 1T is learn
ed that inquiries concerning power
facilities have been made: arrange
ments for the use of a switch engine
for use in the yards for the mill
have been made; officials Of the
railroad are making arrangements
for moving one or two Of the Oil
company storage plants to other To-
cations to make room for the yard
tracks.
These things are not learned from
the company headquarters, but are
picked up here and there, which all
put together show that the company
is going ahead with the plans as
rapidly as conditions will permit.
Purchase contracts for all the
land in the triange between the
three railroads have been completed,
it is learned.
The company made official an
nouncement last week Of their plan
to purchase wheat here this fall. The
warehouse will be in charge Of II.
G. Gall, who win handle their pur-
chases here temporarily at least. He
states that the company will take
as much wheat as Is offered, the
warehouse having q capacity Of
something over q hundred thousand
bushels.

County Shows Big
Gain in Income
During Last Year

Benton county's retail sales gain
Of AZ percentage points from 1888
to 1885, and an estimated total re-
tail sale Of $2.576,O00 in 1886. ex-
plains the county's contribution to
Washington's national ranking as
the sixth st ate in the country in In
dividual buying power. National
average gain was 80 points.
The survey shows Benton coun-
tvs passenger car registration stands
at 214 per 100 people, above the ma
tional average of 1872 cars per 1000.
OF the first six states in average
buying power, five are in the west.
Nevada with an index Of 1853, is
first, California second with 40,
Oregon third with 1876, Wyoming
and Michigan tied for fourth with
131, and Washington is sixth with
126.
Grant county, Washington, leads
the nation In per capita registra-
ton Of cars per 1000 population,
with 528 out Of every 1000 people
there driving cars.
In composite Pacific Coast statist-
les, it was shown that 300 persons
in every 1000 drive passenger cars,
far above the PIT passenger cars per
1000 population recorded in the East
North Central division, including
Michigan, Illinois, Indiana. Ohio
and Wisconsin.
Living standards on the Pacific
coast, considered from any angle,
are appreciably higher than any one
geographical district in the coun-
try. The survey, which included re-
tail sales, income tax returns, car
registrations and income per family.
shows that Pacific Coast residents
pay less for basic necessities OF lie
and have larger spendable incomes
after the necessities have been paid
for"
