Chamber Opposes
Passage Of
Initiative No. 127

The chamber of commerce this
noon passed a resolution opposing
the passage Of Initiative 127, the
proposed bill giving incorporated
cities a larger proportion Of the gas
tax money.
County Commissioner Jay Perry
appeared before the chamber quot
ing figures as to the effect 1t would
have upon the local situation. These
figures conceded with those as dis
cussed by the local council and the
grange officials. After the explain
alton the motion was passed as
above stated.
This initiative, while the hackers
have sufficient signers to have it
put upon the ballot. Is being much
discussed by civic organizations
throughout the state and it is prob
able that it will be withdrawn be-
fore the closing Of the final date.
As a result, however. Of the dis
cussions, much of the controversial
matter contained in the present
highway bill will probably be elm
mated in future and greater spirit
of cooperation shown between coun-
ty and city officials.
: Passage of the bill will give Ben
ton county the net result Of re-
duction Of some twenty-five thous-
and dollars year for road money,
while increasing the proportion al
located to the three Incorporated
cities of less than five thousand dol
lars-a net loss to the county as q
whole Of more than $4,000.

KenneWick's 1888
Cherry Crop
Totals Ito Cars

The harvesting of Kennewick's
largest cherry crop Is now q matter
of history, as today saw the final
windup of the packing. The crop
totaled approximately ITO cars, &C
cording to q rather close estimate
made today by II. w. Desgranges,
manager of the Big Y warehouse
here. Z
This is the biggest crop ever
grown here, Mr.. Desgranges said.
The next largest was shipped ten
years ago, when some 20 cars rolled
from this point. Records this year
have shown that more than Is per-
cent of all the cherries shipped from
this state were Kennewick grown.
The crop ten years ago, however,
brought the growers more cash than
this years larger tonnage. The crop
was of an excellent quality, Des-
oranges said, the cullage, including
the small ones received in the last
days cleanup, would probably aver
age less than fifteen percent. Most
of this was for doubles, virtually no
damage being done by the rains
causing splits. 49,
Probably three hundred people
were employed in the four packing
houses handling the crop after 1t
had been delivered from the orch
ards. At that, local equipment was
insufficient to handle the crop and
much of it was shipped to other Big
Y houses, seven Of them working on
the Kennewick crop portion Of the
time. 49, ..z.s.
More than 200 tons Of KenneWick
cherries were processed at the Rich
land cannery. .-,.z. Z. 49,.

of the states largest potato grow
ing counties, meeting in Ellensburg

growers approve the final draft of
the agreement. Testimony offered
by growers and shippers at the var

number or potato volume is neces-
sary before the order can be APPROX

wick's big three-day celebration will

Several reasons contribute to this
belief. In the first place, no other
town within a long distance is hav-
ing celebration, the advertising
has been much more extensive and
much more interest is being shown
by outside communities.
Placards, banners and newspaper
ads are covering the district from
Spokane to Ellensburg and the ads
on private cars and trucks have
spread the news to still further
limits.
Everything that can be thought Of
to be done to make the show sue
cessful has already been done. The
grounds are In shape, both the park
and the rodeo grounds, the horses
and riders are ready, the booths and
their stocks are ready. the queen
has been chosen. the bands have
finished practicing and some Of the
floats are getting the finishing
touches.

CITY to Back
Grange Against
Initiative No. 127

kennewick'S city officials. under
the leadership of Mayor e. II. Behr-
man, are going down the line with
the Grange Initiative No. 127. Aft
err a series Of conferences with rep
resentatives of the @ range and the
members Of the city council, Mayor
Behrman stated that he was in fun
accord with the grange detectives.
For some time city administers
tons nave been hard put to manage
their street improvement programs
with the small budgets permitted
under the 40-mill tax limit laws,
plus the present division of the
state gas tax money. Particularly
difficult because of the strict super
vision of the expenditures which the
state highway department demand
ed Bound by red tape, the smaller
cities were unable to spend their
share of the state tax money except
on certain specified type of improve
ment on state specified streets.
This supervision and the high
handed demands Of the highway
department. such as was experienced
locally when the state spent all OF
Kennewick's gas tax money on max
ing requirements on the state high
way between town and the bridge.
In this case three sections prob
ably needed replacing, but the state
arbitrarily replaced ten additional
ones, at q figure which city officials
considered exhorbitant.
Because Of this sort of thing the
cities of the state became organized
and endorsed change by initia-
tive, eliminating the red tape and
placing the expenditures back in the
hands of the city officials. The
initiative also gave the cities a larg-
er division Of the state gas tar
money, twenty percent.
AS the larger cities had the most
influence in drawing up the bill,
they profited most by the new d.
vision. An analysis OF the initia-
tive, however, displaced the fact
that while the city of Kennewick
gained an increase Of almost one
hundred percent, the county as a
whole lost about $4,000 from the
state gas tx collections.
IN fact,Aa similar condition exist
ed in all the counties in the state
with the exception of King, Pierce
and Spokane counties. Now ono
by one the smaller counties are
dropping their backing of the initi-
alive. f.Bt
Because of this feeling throughout
the state sponsors OF the initiative
are seeking a compromise, whereby
the initiative will not be filed. I'M
der the compromise, the cities win
be allocated fifteen percent OF the
tax collections, but the counties viii
not lose by reduction.
This action has the endorsement
Of the oranges and the smaller cities
are anxious to join in their move
ment.
