The Federal relief load for 1889 is

The Federal relief load for 1889 is
now estimated at three billion eight
hundred million dollars. This is half
a billion more than the estimate for
this year. If present estimates are

will closely approximate twenty bill

The propaganda for larger pen
sions and for more and better relief,
coupled with the fact that more
than two-thirds of two year ap-
preparation for relief has been spent
in one year, should stir property
owners in the state to take the
field in behalf of the Forty Mill

islature is able to repeal or amend
the present limitation law, plac-
ing the extra burden on property
owners will look to legislators like

100 seats in the House next Novem-

by the Institute of Public Opinion.
They will gain some seats in the

Tor the Republicans to gain control
Of the House-but no one thinks
that can happen. It is mathemat-

INDUSTRY MOVES

INDUSTRY MOVES
Industry is moving to the south
and west at a rapid pace, according
to close observers. Ten years ago
textile factories began leaving the
east for southern locations. Today
the movement is not confined to
textile mills; factories of many kinds
are now joining in the move.
Lower wages, reduced living
costs, lighter taxation and freedom
from labor union troubles are de-
clared to be back of this movement.
It is noticeable that In choosing
new locations the factories are
avoiding the large centers of popu-
lation. Industry decided years ago
that concentration in and around
the big cities of many manufacture
Ing concerns is detrimental to both
themselves and the country.
This decision, and the results now
evident in carrying it out, are go
ing to mean much to towns like
kennewick all over America. It is
bound to result eventually in a de-
crease in size and Importance of the
big cities of the country and the
growth of our smaller towns and
cities as industrial centers. The
southern states, for instance, al
ready have shown plenty of proof
OF this. The growth of towns be-
tween 1000 and 5000 has been re-
markable through the south in the
past 10 years. Will these towns not
become the fair-sized cities of the
next ten years? No, say the wise
ones. Industry has learned its les
son. It prefers to do business in
many small towns rather than in
one large city. Not only is this
seemingly the wisest way for in
dustry, but best for the American
people. 49,.

A LONG STEP

Congress has passed and the pres
ident has signed the new housing
bill, and it is now up to every citi-
zen of Kennewick and surrounding
territory, who is anxious to secure a
home on the lowest and easiest pos
sible terms ever devised to get busy
and learn all about it.
The purpose of the measure is to
make possible vastly increased bus
mess in the building of modest
homes by government financink and
at the same time provide work for
the huge army of building trades
workers. The new plan is attrac-
tive and its possibilities are great.

pally to residents of the smaller

tinuation of slum clearance. There
is one thing that Uncle Sam will
have to bear in mind, however.
When man invests $500 to 5000 in
a new home, and undertakes to pay
the balance in the next 20 years, he
must have some confidence in the
future. If he is working man, he
must feel that his job is secure; If |
he is small merchant, he must
believe that business is not going to |

strictions that he cannot continue. !

There is the situation as it exists
today. We are in a period of leth-
argic business and, while the con-
sensus of expert opinion does not
anticipate further declones, it does
not anticipate substantial better
ment in the near future, either. The
Congress is in a rebellious mood.
The President has taken a more
conciliatory stand, and it is believed
that he will suggest no new "un-
usual legislation this year. What
that all adds up to is anybody's
guess. One good guess is that we
will have greater spending, and a
mild shot of inflation-but not on
as big scale as the President sug-
