Cars Travel a New
Highway and Boats
Ply a New Lake

Cars crossed the Columbia River
last week, not on bridge, but on
the new highway which will top the
Grand Coulee Dam. This was the
first caravan to travel in automo-
biles over the mighty structure
which has been the source OF so
many "first" and greatest" news
stories, and the event marked an
other step accomplished in the pro-
gress of the world-famous structure.
Moreover, not only are cars trav-
cling a new highway, but boats are
now making excursions on the new
lake which is rapidly forming be-
hind Grand Coulee and which will
ultimately reach to the Canadian
border and provide connections by
river to the great Arrow Lakes across
the border. A navigation company
has opened offices in Spokane for
the passenger boats now plying
these rising waters. This also is
significant in great history-making
development.

10% Decrease i'm
AAA Payments
Listed i'm County

Increased participation by farm
ers in the 1910 Agricultural and
Range, Conservation programs and a
decrease in available funds have
made necessary a 10 percent reduc-
ton in AAA payments for this year,
according to Fred Wilson, chairman
of the Benton County Agricultural
Conservation Committee.
1.-The reduction in rate does not
necessarily mean that less pay
ments will go to Benton County
farmers, but that more farmers will
share Them" Mr.. Wilson explained.
Tentative rates of payments are
announced in the fall, and are based
on the best possible estimates Of
available funds and farmer partici-
patton for the coming year. The
law under which the AAA program
operates provides that rates may be
increased or decreased as much as
10 percent during any one year, the
chairman said.
In 1897, before participation be-
came as general as it is now, rates
were increased 10 percent. Last
year it was necessary to decrease
payments in some parts of the
country, but not in the western
states.
MIR. Wilson said the rate decrease
will affect conservation payments
ON wheat, potatoes and on conserva-
ton practices for both farm and
range. However, there will be no
reduction in price adjustment
rates, nor will the commodity loan
or crop insurance programs be af-
fected in any way.

City Election to

Small fee will permit citi-
zens to become candi-
date for job with pay or
without

Now that there is revived inter-
est in politics is good time for To-
cal citizens to consider the city sit
uation. The city primaries come on
general election day, with the city
general election a month later.
A whole flock of offices will be
vacant in the city set-up. Clerk,
treasurer and attorney offices are
well paid sinecures, while the may
orality and councilmanic positions
take their pay in the feeling of pub
lie service rendered.
In addition to the three paid Of
fices, that of mayor, councilman at
large, two councilmen from the first
fard, one from the second and two
from the third ward will be vacant.
It costs one dollar to file for these
offices and there should be no
dearth of candidates.

Committee of
Council Against
Special Levies
City to delay gross reve-
nue. taxes on power and
phone companies; ask
compromise

A proposition to tax the public
service corporations percentage on
their gross revenues was tabled by
the city council Tuesday evening.
Towns in the upper valley have laid
such taxes on the power company
and the telephone companies and
have added considerably to their
revenues. In several of the cities
served by the Pacific company the
taxes have been levied, which vir-
tually means a reduction in rates,
which the towns not receiving the
tax revenues have to help pay.
The matter was submitted to a
special committee for investigation
several weeks ago. Tuesday night
they submitted a report unfavor-
able to the idea, but offered the sug-
gestion that in lieu of the tax, that
the power company grant reduc-
ton in the fire hydrant rentals.
This proposition will be submitted
to the power company in the near
future.

More File for
State and County
Political Jobs
Muldrow and Perry are
latest to seek commiss-
Toner job; Moulton and
Bachman running

Four counties make up this legiS-
lative district comprising Franklin,
Benton. Klickitat and Skamania
counties. The district is represent
ed by one senator and two repre-
sentatives. Last term M. M. Moul-
ton and Earl Coe of Stevenson were
the representatives and ChaS. Stin-
son, the senator.
So far, filings for these offices
are limited to three democrats and
one lone republican for the house
of representatives. Moulton has
filed for reelection, and Mrs. Hilda
Broughton, democrat Of Stevenson,
a candidate defeated in the primar-
les last year, has filed again. The
newcomer is DR.. Gail Bachman OF
Pasco, who is announcing his cand-
idacy this week.
Chas Stinson, dean OF the state
senators, has filed for the office
again on the republican ticket. So
far it looks like neither he nor Earl
Coe, who has filed for the office on
the democratic ticket, will have to
conduct primary campaigns.
w. G. Muldrow filed for county
commissioner this week. That makes
the third on the republican ticket so
far-MrS. Hughes and A. w. Camp
bell being the other two. Jay Perry
is the lone candidate for that office
on the democratic ticket, having put
up his filing fee yesterday.
