Traffic Deaths on
Increase in County

Deaths from traffic accidents in
Benton county increased sharply
during the past year, Patrolman
Larry Grimes told the chamber of
commerce this noon, this county be-
ing one of fourteen in the state
which showed an increase during
the past year. There were nine
deaths from traffic accidents in this
county in 1910, seven of which were
in the Kennewick area, he reported.
There is a definite need, the pa
trolman said, for vigorous cam
paign of accident prevention here
and he urged the chamber to spon-
sor such a program. The cam
paign could be carried on in var
ious ways, but should not be ne
elected throughout the year.
Pedestrian deaths led all others
in the number of fatal accidents
throughout the state, he said, with
speed and liquor being the two next
causes. A large percentage of fatal
accidents occurred when the victim
was within Is miles of home, the
state records show, an indication
of carelessness on the part of the
operator.

New Switchboard for
Phone Co. Arrives

The new switchboard for the tele-
phone company arrived this week
and is being assembled. The new
equipment is of the latest design and
will add several advantages, chief of
which, insofar as the patron is con-
cerned, will be the selective ringing
feature on party lines.
The new board, built to order, will
be installed in the company's new
building and will require about
thirty days to wire before the change
over can be made. Because of the
new ringing, many phone num-
bers will have to be changed, and a
new directory will be off the press
in time to be used when the new
board is put into operation.

School Directors
Object to 4O-Mill
Tax Limit Law
To oppose voting require
ments, and ask for more
money for pupils and
bussing costs.

School directors of Benton and
Franklin county are opposed to
making the present 4O-mill tax
levy initiative law into a part of
the state constitution. This action
was taken at their annual meeting
held in Pasco last week. They also
favor the removal of the 40 per-
cent of the vote clause to make
a school election valid. They claim
in some instances it is difficult to
secure that proportion at special
election.
The removal of the requirement
that the school bond levy must
come from the county's ten mill
limit is also an undesirable feature
of the present law, the school di-
rectors think and they wish this
provision removed from the present
law. -.
The group passed resolution ex-
pressing their feeling of loss in the
death of H. S. Hughes of Hover,
who had served as president of the
organization ever since its begin
ming, II
The group went on record as
heartily approving the viewpoint
program recently adopted at the
state meeting in Seattle. The points
were: Basic support of Csc; school
district reorganization; concerning
school lands and their products;
building aid and reorganizing the
state board of education. PSI,
They also urged a more adequate
reimbursement for transportation
inasmuch as there is such a wide
spread difference in cost of bussing
ranging from below 10 per cent to
so per cent or over of the total
budget.
Superintendent E. S. Black of the
Kennewick schools was a speaker on
the program, his topic being Trans
portation Problems.

Sugar Beet growers have until

Farmers Hear Details
of Peppermint Deal

Considerable interest in the pro-
duction of mint is being aroused in
this community, about thirty grow
ers attending recent meeting when
the matter was discussed. At Rich
land last year there were about $50
acres in mint production and the re-
turns seemed ample to Justify an ex-
tension of the acreage.
Averaging a production of about
SO pounds to the acre one producer
in the Richland district harvested
los pounds last year. The mint oil
sold for $500 pound. Distilling
costs range about IS cents per GAL
Ion, according to the experience in
Richland, and several growers are
trying the crop locally.
