JUDGE SCHWELLENBECH
DECLARES LAW N6@ VALID

In an opinion handed down re-
Gently by Superior Court Judge r.
W. Wellenbach, in an action to
test the constitutionality OF tho
school consolidation law pertaining
to school districts in the Ruff and
Wheeler districts, the Judge stated.
81 feel that the act is unreason-
able, arbitrary, oppressive and dis
criminatory, and is in violation Of
the fundamental principles of self
government, as it existed from our
earliest history and is preserved in
our Constitution taken as whole "
Commenting further, Mr.. Schwel-
lentach said 1T seems to me that
when the legislature attempts to
take away the fundamental rights
of minorities and individuals, and is
forcing parents, against their will, to
put their children on buses in the
early morning and send them miles
and miles away to attend school un-
til evening it is such and infringe
ment upon the fundamental rights
of these people that they should
have recourse in the courts.
at is true that the purpose of the
act is given to provide a more nearly
equalized educafiaal opportunity
for pupils of the common schools,
etc instead of being an act to
provide q more equalized opportun-
itv for pupils of the common
schools IT is . scheme to gohble up
the smaller districts by the larger
ones; do away entirely with rural
schools. and force these people to
submit to the will of the larger dis
tricts"

Gasoline Tax Collections
Showing Sharp Decline

The income for our splendid state
highways is from the tax on gaso-
line, and this tax collection showed
an increase each month over last
year until May, since which time it
is decreasing in volume at a sharp
rate, the past three months showing
half million dollars less in such
collections than the same months in
1871. This trend will become great
er, of course, as tires wear out and
gasoline sales become more restrict,

Legislature Will Find Some Forty
Million Dollars i'll Treasury
OLYMPIA, Aug. 19-Early in Jan
uary which is a little more than four
months from now, we folks who
own and live in the state of Wash
ington will hold our regular business
meeting in Olympia for the purpose
of planning for the following two
years
Not being able to attend this
meeting personally we are just in
the act of selecting our employees to
represent us there We call them
senators and representatives, but
they are just our servants and as
such we should give some care now
as to how they will perform as leg
islators, for the big job they will
have is that of finances, and they
will find almost forty millions of
dollars in the hands of State Treas
urer Otto Case, according to his best
estimate and this is important mon
ey, and it is our money.
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1942-08-20

from these sales there is no redemp-
ton. II you own property with de-
linquent taxes it is a good idea to
check with the county treasurer and
get copy of your county official
paper in which the list is being pub
ltshed, for checking purposes. You
might be surprised. Property taxes
are about one-half of what they
were in 1888 due to the 40 mill tax
limitation in part, and delinquent
collections are less difficult in Wash
ington than most states, the tax
commission tells us. Total amount
due the counties, about eleven and a
half millions of dollars and one-half
of this amount is on tax contracts.
About the State Tax Problems
Should the measure 151 be adopt
ed, all funds In sight and much more
would quickly be used, we are told
1.-The task of the legislature then
would be to vote more state taxes
of the outstanding state bonds.
the state owns in various funds alb
out one-half Which is almost five
million dollars and we have an
other ten millions invested in United
States Government bonds ........ We
wish to make the suggestion to the
legislature for spending money.
Why not vote raise to the state
treasurer? -.-.....The dispatches are
full of stories about giving people
increase in income who have had no
raise since last January ...... Otto
Case is working at rate of pay
fixed in 1889 That is before
the horse and buggy days. Sounds
like OK cart to usH He will handle
billion dollars for us in his present
four-year term 800. Has never lost a
dime---.....We pay him four thousand
dollars year.--..... Some shipyard
workers make more. It's a darn
cd shame.
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1942-08-20
Most Of Forty Millions
Already Spent

While the balance as estimated
by the treasurer will be some forty
millions of dollars, the present bal
snce being almost thirty-nine mil
lions as of the end of last month.
these monies are divided among 81
separate funds, which total now
more than tWenty-siX million dol
lars. The largest of these is the
highway fund, now amounting to
more than eight millions, and of
this amount much Belongs to the
counties and cities and should be de-
Quoted from any grand total Next
there should be deducted almost ten
millions of dollars which is the am
cunt of unredeemed bonds which the
state owes, plus three and one-half
millions which is the average am
cunt of warrants in the hands of the
public which have not come in for
payment.
There are other factors, too
which must now be considered and
these will be before the legislature
at its next and most importan. ses-
sion.

Lists Ways Of
Salvaging Corn

Failure of corn to ripen is a hard
blow to feed supplies, but now is the
time to get every bit of feed value
out of the damaged crop, says County
Agent Clyde Shumway. The need
for meat is so great that no feed
should be permitted to spoil or 60 to
waste.
H. G. Zavoral of University Farm,
suggests these ways of Salvaging
soft corn:
l. Feed in bundle as needed. Soft
corn will not spoil in the shock, and
livestock will get some good from
leaves as well as ears.
2. Put in silo, adding water since
leaves are dry. An excellent concen-
trated feed can be made by swapping
ears and putting the ears alone in the
silo, even after it is too late to cut
stalks.
8. Hog it off, letting young stock
finish the job after the hogs have
taken the best.
4. Husk out and feed after cold
weather sets in. Soft corn in cribs
must be fed up before spring or it
will spoil. Hogs will pick over
spoiled corn without hurting them
selves. Cattle can tolerate, some
mold, but moldy corn should never
be fed to horses, sheep or poultry
Needed protein in the form of good
alfalfa hay or concentrate should be
provided to balance the soft corn in
the ration

will do the job, but the farmer knows
that it is well to remember We have
to live seven days a week and fight
a war at the same time.
For months and years we have been
enjoying privileges denied the occu-
pied countries and our allies.
In England there has not been a
drop of gasoline for civilian use
since April.
Farmers in England have increased
production of food despite bombings
and black-outs and destruction of
animals and buildings.
We farmers have big order to
fill, and we can do it under better
circumstances than exist in any 9TH
er part of the world.

Do you wonder how you ever can

not been the cause of any casualties,

Our ancestors managed without
sugar until the 18th century; with

out butter until the 18th century;
without tobacco or potatoes until the

without tires, auto, radios and cleo
