Schools Gain Cash,
Teachers and Value
Under Limit Law

That the present tax system i'm
the state of Washington has result
ed in an increase in the value OF
school properties, more teachers at
higher salaries and gain in the
cash in hand in the general fund
over warrants outstanding, is shown
in figures compiled by the Bureau
of Governmental Research and the
State Department Of Education.
Benton county school districts
showed gain of $44615.41 in their
general fund over outstanding war
rants in June, 1897. over June, 1884.
On June 30. 1894, outstanding
warrants totalled $8,512.16 and cash
on hand $56.467.41, showing net
gain of $44.615.41.
Current outstanding warrants OF
all school districts of the state i'm
June, 1897, were $137 079.96 less than
the amount reported on June 80,
1886, and bonds outstanding were
less by $1,649.756.
Before the 40-Mill Tax Limit Law
went into effect in Washington, the
financial condition of schools was
precarious since their income de-
pended almost entirely upon over
loaded property taxpayers. Follow
ing the passage Of the 40-Mill Law,
provision was made to secure school
revenues from variety Of sources.
How the change has safeguarded
the schools during period Of lower
ed incomes and increased govern
mental costs is shown in their inn
proved financial condition.

Not Much Hope
for Local Berry
Freezing Plant

Nothing cheerful has yet de-
veloped in the efforts to secure
some sort of stable market for
the Kennewick strawberry crop. At
the request of number Of grow
ers, a special committee from the
chamber of commerce has been at
tempting to secure information re-
garding the freezing process in the
hopes that something along this
line could take care of portion of
the crop.
A short season is looked for in the
fresh market this year, principally
because of the fact that Decora-
ton Day falls upon a Monday. This
it is pointed out, will definitely
break the market, while 1t has never
been able to bounce back after once
having slipped.
More than q dozen farmers at
tended, the club luncheon today to
hear what the committee had &C.
complished. It was shown that the
establishment Of freezing plant In
Kennewick for the berries alone was
out of the question from an invest.
ment standpoint. Whether one Of
the established agencies could b'
persuaded to handle the crop re-
mains to be seen. An attempt viii
be made to interest one Of the or
CARNATIONS now freezing product
in the hopes of being able to taxi
care of the surplus crop in tina
manner.

Well Attended

The carnival sponsored by the
Parent Teachers association was
very successful as there were near
ly 600 Kennewick citizens who
gathered at the high school to par
ticipate in the evenings entertain
ment. The program held in the
auditorium proved most interest
ing, particularly the fashion show
put on by the Kiwanis club. The two
dwarfs, Happy" and Grumpy"
made q hit as did the "Hill Billy
Band" The tumbling act put on by
the junior high girls and the school
band did exceptionally well in their
performances.
The committee in charge has ex-
pressed appreciation to all indiv-
uals and organizations for their CO.
operation and support in making
the affair q success. Crawford
Donahue should be given special
mention for his very capable lead
ership in arranging the carnival.
The PIT. A. also provided school
bus transportation for the country
peojle.
The amount taken in was over
$500 and there will be approx
mately $40 cleared. This amount
will be used for the construction OF
q fence along the ditch bank and
also to help send delegate to the
state Parent-Teachers convention
A detailed report will be given by
the treasurer at the next regular
meeting.

will interest not only farmers but
lawyers. To put the burden of proof
on any accused person is something
very novel, and decidedly alarming.

Now 60 back and read again the
reply which the Assistant to the
Secretary Of Agriculture wrote to a
disturbed inquirer. Maybe there is
able to see. There is a possible techni-
cality by which the reply could be
justified. The reply says there is no
pending legislation which would
prevent you from planting anything. ="
The technicality may lie in use Of the
word planting" True, under the
bill the farmer can plant anything

farmer tries to sell that the bill
catches him. The penalties are for

imposed on him. And planting any,
thing doesn't do the farmer much
good unless he can market it.
The Department Of Agriculture Is
frequently charged with carrying on
propaganda. But this letter of the
Assistant Secretary-oh, we'll, let us
refrain from any Wisecrack about a
shorter word than propaganda. Let
us rather, courteously and euphemisti-
cally. inquire whether this letter
comes up to the quota of candor.
