QUIT PosTPoN1NG


Weather changes are always
somewhat indefinite, and waiting on
them to become 100 percent per-
feet before starting spring house
cleaning almost always results in
delays that make the job harder in
the long rum. Somehow 1t seems
that the women who take chances
on the weather and get at it regard
less, always find the task lightest.
And always the ones who, as re-
suit of it, always have the most lei
sure time No matter how clean
any woman may keep her house and
premises, there is always something
to be done in the way Of cleaning
and Frightening up at this season.
Paint, and paper and whitewash do
not stay bright forever; they must
be removed every so often. Winter
brings trash and rubbish to yards
and elleys, no matter what size
town one resides in. But nothing is
to be gained by using the weather as
a schedule for removing it. Spring
is officially here by the calendar.
That means it's time to do spring
cleaning, and it also means that
those who get at the job without
further delay will be rewarded by
having more leisure time later on,
possibly when they need it most.

OUTLAW STRIKES

The labor initiative bill sponsored
by the Women of Washington and
the Associated Farmers is being cir
culated for signatures. This measure
is designed to halt labor racketeer-
ing, and should do SO. The sponsors
expect to have little trouble in get
ting the required number of sigma
lures. Every manufacturer, mer-
chant, industrialist, farmer, ranch
er, orchardist, and wage Garner in
the State of Washington should be
anxious to sign this initiative.
The bill is designed as much for
the protection of the members of
organized labor as it is for the gen.
eral public. It would outlaw I'M
necessary strikes and labor disturb
ances.

to hit the road'-roaming all over
the countryside. living off of some
body else. They don't ride the
freight trains any more to amount
to anything. They find their trans
rattle-trap auto. Besides, with the
portation problems more easily SOL
we'd If they can get hold Of an old
auto, they can steal what they need
and get into another county in less
time and with smaller chance of de-
lection. There will be the usual
number of them in this section for
the next several months to come. SO
our advice for residents around
Kennewick is to make it so unwel-
come for the first few that come
through that it will get to the 9TH
ers that this is pretty good terri
tory to stay out Of.

IT'S COMING

There seems to be but little doubt
now but that the further improve
ment of the Columbia will be un-
dertaken during this administra-
ton. The recent change in the per-
sonnet of the officers in charge of
the work seems, too, to indicate
that the work will be authorized in
the near future.
The building of the dam at Una
tilla will mean as much to this
community in the way of increased
business as the Coulee has been to
Spokane. This will be the logical
port of entry for much of the ma
terial and supplies and head
quarters and the resultant activity
should make considerable differ
ence.
The more residents of this area
talk and write about this project,
the easier 1t will be to secure the
authorization, it appears, so this is
one of the things every resident can
do for the general welfare of the
district.

IT SOUNDS QUEER

Wisconsin'S new law to prevent
trucking over the main highways on
week-ends and holidays is going to
be watched all over the country. 1t
will come as a surprise to motorists
to be told that instead of entering
a protest against the new law the
big trucking companies actually are
welcoming it, so there will be no OPP
position from that source, queer as
it may sound. They contend they
can, by shifting schedules, get the
most necessary part of their freight
in the clear in time to observe the
weekend as a holiday. They say
it will provide more time for over
hauling and needed repairs, and
that means a saving of money. It
will mean shorter driving hours, and
that means their drivers will always
be in better condition. And their
damage suits will dwindle because
most of their accidents are said to
be over the week-ends. So the bal
ance of the country is watching
what promises to be one of the most
advanced steps toward safety taken
in this country in q long time.

IS SETTING

~ fAAO III III l. L LAW .
United States Senator, Homer T.
Bone, is apparently the only men,
Der of the entire delegation from
this state at Washington, D. c., who
has been keeping his ear close to
the ground. Senator Bone voted
mo" against the Roosevelt reorgan-
ization bill. Senator Schwellen-
bach voted EYES," as did all six con-
gressmen.
OF course Schwellenbach is not a
candidate for reelection this year.
He felt that it would be safer to be
friendly with Roosevelt than it
would to antagonize him. and then
attempt to wiggle out of his vote
after the voters had forgotten about
it. Bone, however, is on the firing
line this year. He played safe.
The six congressman are still
hanging on to the coat tails of Pres
ident Roosevelt. They do not know
that Roosevelt, as an individual, is
still popular in this state, but as a
leader, his star is setting.

IMPRESSIONS
The state is spending 10000 this
year to publicise the advantages
and attractions of the nations most
favored municipality, one of the big
gest spreads appearing this week in
the national publications. Other
states have found the tourist crop
one of the most profitable they could
cultivate and this state is out to
publicise the attractions of this
area.
Some localities are attempting to
cash in on this advertising by get
ting out information concerning
their own areas. For instance Che
land is getting out 100000 booklets
extolling the beauties of that re-
gion, eastern Lewis county is getting
out a similar batch of folders and
several of the Western Washington
communities are getting in touch
with the visitors under unified
head of Evergreen Playground asso-
citation.
AS the Ferndale Record says; I'VE
have one job ahead of us; and
that is for every community in the
state to get busy now and beautify
their yards with shrubs and flow
ers," to which the South Bend Jour-
nal adds: "Not only for the sake of
personal satisfaction and neighborly
rivalry. but for a good impression on
our visitors from affair.""
Here's something Kennewick peo-
pie could well employ themselves at,
too. The appearance of a commun-
ity is the most lasting impression
a visitor will have.

PENSION MONEY

Governor G. D. Martin has already
established as policy of his ad-
ministration that the state shall not
go into debt; that it shall not levy
any more taxes; that it will not
go upon a wild orgy of spending, but
will proceed on "pay-as-we-go'
program. Ike
In fact the governor is now
broadening his state program to
take issue with the national con-
gress and is vigorously opposing the
plans of President Roosevelt to
spend several more billions of dol
lars in relief work.
A review of the recent statement
from the treasury department of
the nation showing that already the
treasury has borrowed" more than
$4,000, 100000 from the social Sc
curity funds. has acted as stop
look listen sign" for the state adj
ministration.
When the social security program
was under consideration in con-
gress, some of the more careful
members there, and included in this
group were Democrats and Republic
cans alike, the charge was made that
the administrators program as adj
vanced in the resolution or bill fin
ally passed, was simply setting up
machinery whereby the federal gov
eminent could market more of its
unwanted securities. The financial
institutions of the nation had been
MIXED dry.
Now the treasury department is
using the cash which the workers
of the nation are pouring into it as
a nest egg against old age and UNI
employment to meet current ex-
penses. When the time comes to
pay pensions, the nation will not
have available cash, but must eth
er market billions of dollars worth
of bonds, upsetting the financial
structure of the nation or print pa
per money, wrecking the entire eco
nomic structure.
The fact that the state no now
unable to even meet the demands
of the existing statute requiring $50
q month pensions for those over
the age of IS, has not dampened the
advocates of the new drive for lower
ages and more money in starting
their proposal.

The last issue of this column dis
cussed the pros and cons of the adj
ministration government reorgani-
Zation bill, and offered the opinion
that the measure would pass, plus
one or two important amendments,
such as that authorizing Congress
to override an act of the President
under the bill by a majority vote,
instead of the two-thirds vote or
iginally specified.
This column was wrong-though,
In self-defense, it can say that it
had lots of company. The reorgan-
ization bill is apparently dead-due
to the astonishing action of the
House on April 8, when, by vote
of 2O4 to 1876, it sent the measure
back to special committee. Before
the vote, according to an AP dis
patch, Democratic leaders had adj
mitted that this action would kill
the bill. Every weapon at the
command of those leaders in the
House was used in an attempt to
save the bill.
This Administration defeat is Sec
ond only to the Supreme Court re-
organization bill defeat in import
ance. It means that the White
House has definitely lost control OF
Congress, and that a great many
members who could once be trusted
to take "the party line" when New
Deal measures came up, are in open
revolt against the Roosevelt leader
ship.
The opinion is now growing that
the President will take the fight
