may retain as an operating fund
from its earnings. Complete and
accurate books Of the business
must be maintained and are re-
quired to be audited at least once
each year by the office Of the
Comptroller General Of the United
States.
At the end of each fiscal year
the net proceeds derived by the
eva from its various activities,
such as the sale of power and
water, must be paid into the
United States Treasury. However,
before calculating the net pro-
ceeds, the board of directors is
entitled to withhold whatever
amount it may consider necessary
as operating capital. The Au-
thority may determine its own
system of administrative accounts
and may work out its own forms
Of contracts.
It is constantly offered as a
condemning argument against fed
eral business that they do not
pay taxes and that their activities
reduce the amount of taxes To-
cally collectible. The activities Of
many federal organizations have
increased the tax base of the re-
gion in which they operate by
helping business to expand and by
increasing the level Of income
penera11v MANY governmental
businesses, municipal, state, or
federal, have been accustomed to
make payments In lieu Of taxes.
The amounts Of these payments
have also offered grounds for dis
cussion and disagreement.
Senate Bill 400, in establishing
the eva, instructs that corpora
ton to make payments In lieu Of
real and personal property taxes,
and establishes in some detail how
these payments are to be COM
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1945-05-24

puted. So although the corpora
ton itself is declared to be exempt
from all taxes, whether state,
county, or municipal, it yet must
requite these taxing units in sums
equal to the losses sustained. In
general, these payments must
equal the average amount Of the
taxes paid by the previous pri-
vate owners of the properties ac-
quired by the Authority.
In conducting its business the
corporation will rely on its con-
gressional appropriation and its
earnings for operating and main
tenance costs. Whenever it finds
it expedient to acquire, or to re-
habilitate acquired properties
necessary for carrying out the aims
of the corporation, the Authority
may issue revenue bonds, notes,
or obligations for the requisite
amounts. The principal security
behind these obligations is to be
the power revenues. These reve-
nue. bonds are declared to be law
full investments for trust and pub
Lie funds. The Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation and the secre-
tary of the Treasury are author
lied to purchase these revenue
bonds, and may, when necessary,
offer them again for sale. In
the latter case the corporation has
the power to purchase its own
revenue bonds in the open mar
ket at any time and for any price.
The financial set-up established by
this bill has been based on the ex-
perience both of the IVA and Of
the government projects operating
in the Northwest region. The
claims and nter-claims of the
various financial procedures now
in use have been carefully
weighed, and it is felt that the es-
tablished financial system will
make for the most efficient, the
simplest, and the most direct con-
duct of what in its nature must
be an extremely complicated bust
ness organization.

WASHINGTON, March % -
up - Government control OF
foods in wartime involves the
regulation of distribution as
we'll as production. Shortages of
the past and present often re-
fleet an uneven distribution.
Rat.oning is designed to dis
tribute supplies evenly. But
there are loopholes as well as
violations which enable some
consumers to get more than
their share.
Even now, when complaints
of shortage of meats are ram
pant, show cases are well filled
in some areas. Often in the
same city, one store will have
more meat per customer than
another.
Food supplies tend TO remain
close to the source of produc-
ton Normally, it is only when
nearby consumers get all they
want that supplies move out to
areas of lesser production.
SALIENT EXAMPLES
This has been true especially
in the case of meats and but
ter, the great bulk of which are
produced and processed in the
midwest.
Because of this-and some
black marketing - there has
been a tendency for a larger
and larger portion of the hogs
and beef cattle to be bought and
slaughtered by small, local
plants serving very limited
areas. AS a consequence, the
large parking plants which nor

had made him the central fig
ure in one of the most intensive
manhunts launched within re-
cent years in the Eastern Mich
igan district.
The man, highly respected in
his home community, attracted
the attention of Port Huron Of
ficers on Tuesday when he dis
patched an acquaintance to
near. bank to "crack" a one
thousand dollar bill for him.
A POCKET-FULL
Ban officials, reputedly,
tipped off police that mysteri-
Gus stranger had brought the
bill to the bank with the story
that "a man at the hotel has a
whole pocket full of them"
BY the time police reached
the hotel, to inquire into the
source Of the impressive roll,
the man and "three handbook
ing companions" had checked
out.
Immediate blockade of the in
ternational bridge and of Ora
tiot avenue points was instituted
and the hunt was on for what
police feared might be "a bank
robber on the LAM" Later a
check Of the hotel register re-
vealed the mans name and
Macomb county address. A hur-
ried check with officers in his
home town showed that he was
a wholly respectable business
man, evidently just out on a
days jaunt.
Strangely enough when police
finally located him at his place
Of business he had $4,000 in
cash still in his pockets; and was
amazed to learn that he had Gre
ated such q sensation by simply
sending q friend to the bank for
change.
ELUDES BLOCKADE
Most surprising of all, how
ever, was his discovery that he
had apparently driven right
through supposedly escape
proof police blockades enroute
to his Macomb county home.
Police have suggested that,
for his own protection, he carry
smaller sums on his person in
the future.

ion" crops to those nearest
them.
Names of the crops are shown
in the rows. Parentheses aroun/
a crop name mark 1t as a sue
cession crop to be planted after
the first crop is harvested.
The asterisks (') mark the
rows which can be planted as
early as soil conditions and sea-
son will permit. If possible,
plant all crops so marked on the
broken lines first. Other rows
may be planted rs soon as dan
ger of late spring frost has pass
ed. Successive crops are plant
ed Immediately after the crops
which they are to follow are har-
vested.
Tomato plants are spaced for
stalking and tying; plants which
are to grow on the ground
should be spaced from three to
four feet apart.
AS noted, the major crops are
tomatoes, beans, carrots and
green's, including lettuce and
spinach, Swiss chard, endive,
beets for tops, mustard and 9TH
ers. If more of these crops are
wanted, substitutions in place Of
the other crops can be made; as
for example, carrots in the pars-
nip row, tomatoes where aspara-
gus and rhubarb are shown, and
others. Follow the plans as
closely as possible, especially in
the smaller plots, SO as not to
upset the crop arrangement

Argentine Eyes
Possibility Of
War with Japan

BUENOS AIRES, March o.
R-The Argentine government
was believed today to be consid-.
ering the possibility of declaring
war upon Japan as a means OF
qualifying this country for a
place among the United Nations
end ending her diplomatic iso-
lation.
Informed quarters expressed
belief that a decision probably
would be reached before the
weekend on the question OF de-
claring war, which was gener-
ally regarded as the implied pre-
requisite for solution of Argen-
tina's international difficulties
under the formula laid down at
the recent inter-American con-
ference in Mexico City.
Ever since the conference
there has been intense activity
in Argentine government cir
cles, but a decision has been de-
layed with the explanation that
no action could be taken until
the government has had an OPP
portunity to study the Mexico
City documents.
Ernesto Uriburu, secretary OF
the Argentine embassy in Wash
ington, arrived here last night
with official copies of the Next
co City declarations. He confer
red Immediately with Oscar
Ibarra Garcia, under secretary
of foreign affairs, and it was
expected the cabinet would meet
today.
While there was some talk Of
Army opposition to . declare
ton of war, especially among
the younger officers, the army
high command was reported
! favorably disposed.
The Argentine press for the
most part refrained from com
ment on the situation, but Ii

Slow time may be the only
legal time standard in Michigan
under a new act of the state leg

lators.
Speaker Howard Nugent, a
slow time advocate, acknow-

set on fast time, because that is
the prevailing time in Lansing,
although virtually all clocks in
the capitol are kept on slow time
by order of the legislature.

It's a great story Of parental de.

but he had so much singing when
he was at Minsky's that if he

There is nothing modest about
Aida. I don't mean that he is

worth, and he is not going to let
anybody say he is second best in

happy, but he is ambitious and
nothing is going to stop him from
following up Rhapsody" with
other pictures. He waited "a
months for Rhapsody" to be re.
leased. In the meantime he re.
ceived dozens and dozens of let.
tiers from boys overseas who had
seen il before it was brought out
