the work connected with the prep

to celebrate its centennial in 1913.
This work was done in Tacoma and
Seattle and vicinity and was in the
nature of securing subscriptions to-
ward the centennial fund. This fund
will be used for wiping out the in
debtedness of the church, for in
creasing pastors pensions and for
building a library for our Seminary
in st. Paul. Reports from through
out the church indicate that this
centennial appeal is meeting with
very hearty response.

INDEPENDENT STORES
THREATENED

For some time far-sighted leaders
Of independent merchants organi-
nations have opposed punitive laws
agains the chain stores the
very sound reason that they feared
such laws might eventually be con-
strued to affect independent stores
as well.
The state Of Georgia has a law
which levies excessive class taxes
against the chains. Now, according
to the State Revenue Commission
er, voluntary groups and coopera-
tives will be classed as chain stores
for taxation purposes" under this
law. This official previously said
that "the department is of the opin-
ion that two or more stores which
operate as members Of the so-called
voluntary group or cooperative asso-
citation constitute chain Of stores
in contemplation Of the Chain Store
Tax Act Of Georgia -
II that principle Is extended to
the other states having chain store
taxes land it certainly will be, SOON
er or later, judging by the rapacity
Of legislators in pursuit Of new
sources of tax revenue-it will pen

alize every store which joins with
one or more other stores in order to
buy goods more cheaply, or to adj
vertise jointly, or to carry on any
similar cooperative endeavor intend
ed to lower selling costs and In
crease service. This latest move
broadens the economies that are
made possible by mass buying and
distribution. and by forcing up costs.
Give the politicians an inch and
they will take a mlle-and whether
it is at the expense Of chain
store, an independent store, or the
consumer, seems to be of no in
terest to them. Once we permit the
unsound principle Of class taxation
to be applied against any legitimate
business, we Immediately endanger
the existence of all other business.
Punitive taxation Of chains has be-
come very real problem to the in
dependent store, and to all con-
sumers.

THE HORN HoNKER

It seems that one of the hardest
things a Kennewick car owner has
to learn when he first starts. in is
what the horn is for. In fact, so
many of them throughout the
country never have learned that
laws have had to be passed to
guide them. Observe the careful mo-
torist and you will note that he sell
dom finds it necessary to resort to
his horn. He doesn't glide easily up
to pedestrian crossing street and
then suddenly issue q loud blast on
his horn. Nor does he, in passing
the car ahead Of him rend the air
with loud and unnecessarily long
blasts. He uses the horn as it was
intended to be used, for the purpose
of giving signals, and then only
when they are absolutely needed.
The horn is subject to more abuse
than any other part Of the auto,
when in fact it should be the least
part of it to be resorted to. There's
a right and wrong way to use it,
the same as there is to use anything
else. And it is hoped, for the nerves
of the community, at least, that this
years crop of new drivers learn that
early.

HERE'S ANOTHER WAY

HERE'S ANOTHER WAY
Using whitewash is still another
way of killing two birds with one
stone. You not only beautify and
brighten whatever you apply the
solution to, whether it be residence,
garage, outbuildings or trees, but
you at the same time lessen the dam
ger of contagious diseases in the
community. Lime has come to be
recognized as the very best disin-
fectant that can be used around the
house. Spread on the yard in prop
er amount it also feeds the soil
and helps the grass to grow, though
care should be taken when using it
for this purpose to see that the
quantity is not too generous. It
furnishes protection from the wea-
'ther for fences and buildings and
insects that feed upon wood steer
clear of lime when it is applied in
the form of whitewash. And there's
still another advantage, too, not to
be overlooked costs so little. No
other disinfectant, and of course no
kind Of paint, can be had for so
little money. No other brings such
a widespread return on the invest
ment.

TOO MANY LAWS

When wise old Moses was on
earth, and had a prominent part In
running it, he found that only ten
laws were needed for the regulation
of it's conduct. Woodrow Wilson be-
lieved that the famous IA points he
submitted to the Versailles peace
conference was sufficient to save
the world for democracy.
Keeping these figures in mind, it
should interest Kennewick taxpay-
ers to learn that the legislatures OF
our 48 states passed during the
year 1937-in one single year alone
more than 10000 new laws as they
joyously assumed the burden Of reg
ulating the lives and activities of
our people. Either the world, has
grown to be a terrible place since
it accepted the Ten Command
ments as all that was necessary to
keep it morally safe, or the making
of laws has become q habit and q
racket" there's no way out Of. It
scarcely seems possible that so many
human transgressions were still at
liberty after q century and q half
Of lawmaking.
Thomas jefferson, third pred-
dent of the United States, once
said: That government is best
which governs least" But we have
come a long way since Jefferson's
time. Are we any better off? Is the
world any better with its thousands
of laws than it was when 1t had but
the Ten Commandments? Surely
the average taxpayer, who has to go
down into his pockets for the cost
of all these laws, has an interesting
answer to those questions.

ECONOMIC H1GHL1GHTs

One OIL the 1rAnkeSG CONTEMPORARIES
made on the business situation by
any high administration authority
recently, came from Secretary Of
the Treasury Morgenthau, who said
that business appears to be steadily
getting worse. That pessimistic con-
clusion is amply supported by the
statistics. Business is not getting
worse rapidly-but the trend of the
indices is undoubtedly downward,
April was an exceedingly disap-
pointing month. Attitude of many
experts is reflected by the Annalist,
which said on April % that "by the
time the new pump printing pro-
gram becomes effective assuming
It becomes effective at ally, BUSH
ness will be so depressed that any
probable stimulus will merely result
In raising the business index to a
level little if any higher than 1t was
when the program was first an
nounced."
Looking at the picture from the
statistical point of view, the bus
mess activity graph in Business
Week for April 80 provides some IL
Illuminating comparisons. At that
time, the general index for the lat
est week covered stood at 58.1 as
compared with 58.4 for the preced-
ing week a month previous. A year
before, the index was at u. The
average for the years 1933-37 was
66.3. Thus, business is now operat-
ing at level substantially below
even that average, which includes
three years Of abject industrial de-
preston, one fair year 1885, and
only about seven or eight months Of
> comparatively prosperous times
(January to October, 1887.
Equally serious is the fact that
the decline has finally reached
practically all lines of activity NOT
Just limited number, as was the
case when the current recession"
began. Extremely severe drops have
occurred In electric power produc-
ton and freight car loadings+ a
fact that casts q great deal Of light
on the retrenchment taking place
throughout all industry and COM
merce. Steel is down again, with
prospects for the immediate future
dark. The automobile industry is
largely In the doldrums, and it IS
reported that plans for 1899 changes
and innovations have been aband-
oned by some makers. In all the
basic industries strongly favorable
factors, either for the long or the
short pull, seem to be almost en-
tirely lacking.
Industry tried to gain some cheer
from the Presidents recent state
ments to the effect that he wished
to cooperate with business leaders.
However, there Is only q tenuous
hope that anything tangible will
come Of 1t. There have been many
conferences in the past, and none
have been fruitful.
Summing up, the outlook is for
little change in business in the near
future, with the tendency continue
ing downward. Hopes are pinned on
the fall. And what that season
viii bring is an unknown quantity.
