REWARD FOR SERVICES
It seems no more than fitting that
some public recognition should be
given to public servants who have
served the community long and ,well.
This district has two such {persons
and we would like to ,se’e them
honored for their long and gaifhml
efforts. We refer, of course to‘Jas.
Johnston and M. N. Hudnall, both
of whom have served as directors in
their respective irrigation districts
for more than twenty years.
Mr Johnson has made something
of a record in another way. He not
only has been re-elected term after
term, but he has an almost un
broken record for attendance at the
meetings. It the man was able to
be about, he was in attendance at
the meetngs—nothing came ahead
ofhisideaofhisdutyinthisre
spect.
Long hours, and many, many of
them, brought perplexing problems.
Each was given the very best
thought and judgment the man pos
sessed, and the progress made by the
organization attests the quality of
that work. Mr. Johnson has played
abigpartinarrangingtorthecon
duct and management of the Col
umbia district. His work has saved
every landowner in the district a
considerable sum oi.’ money and,
while it was all in line of duty,
nevertheless every landowner owes
Mr. Johnston personally as debt of
gratitude which will never be pad.
The least that could be done would
3 public acknowledgement of the
Mr. Hudnall. whle not yet ready
to retire from active service on the
Highlands board. can be credited
with many of the fine compliments
which have already been paid to Mr.
Johnston. These two men richly
deserve the acclaim o! the citizens
01' this community.
We are glad that Mr. Hudnall
feels that he can continue his
work. While we appreciate, per
haps a little better than most indi
viduals, the vast amount of time
and work and thought which enter
into these jobs, and so can evalu
ate Mr. Johnston’s services, we can
ice his VieWpoint. He has done his»
abate of community work and more.
Land is entitled to rest upon his
~laurels. .

capable of bringing on. Don't look

ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS
When President Roosevelt called
the special session of Congress the
country was virtually in a boom
stage, as compared with today’s con
dition. Stocks were at high levels.
Reemployment was going ahead on
a comfortable scale. Though un
favorable signs existed, they were
few and apparently insignificant.
and almost everything pointed to a
highly prosperous winter season.
Now, in two months, the picture
has changed completely. Stocks, in
spite of occasional flurries, are hold
ing stubbornly at levels close to the
October lows. With few exceptions,
industrial production conunues to
sag. Unemployment is increasing
alarmingly. And it is very likely
that this winter’s relief problem
willbeasgraveasinanyyearsince
1929.
Oneresultofthsisacomplete
change in the attitude of Congress
—and, to a lesser degree, a change
in the attitude of the administra
tion. The special session was pri
marily called for three purposes—
the wage and hours law, the farm
reliefproposalandthebilltocre
ate seven new regional electric au
thorities similar in nature to the
TVA. It was assumed that these
matters would absorb the undivided
attention of the session, and that
nothing else of moment would be
brought up on the floor or in com
mittee. ‘
What has happened? The wage

with warring factions seeking to
change it one way or another, and
with a strong Congressional bloc
opposedtothepassageofanylaw

it going through in the special ses
sion.
Thefarmbillisinasimilarpre
dicament—it seems almost impos
sible that a law satisfactory to the
various opposed factions in House
and Senate can be prepared for
months.
The seven regional authorities
bill is, according to last reports,
completely moribund.
Congress is almost wholly occu
pied with the business recession,
mm! with proposals designed to pre
rent it from becoming another ma
lor. long-lasting depression. Tax
reform seems nearer to achievement
pthanatanytimeinthelastfour
years. There is a defeinite senti
ment in favor of a more conciliatory
general policy toward industry.
Thereisagrowingfeelingthatwe
have gone too far with regulation.
especially as it affects the security
markets and exchanges. There is
a movement on foot to encourage
business to spend on a big scale—
of which the most significant de
velopment is the President’s an
nounced policy of a more friendly
attitude toward the electric utilities,
and his recent talks with utility exe
cutives.
The principal question now is.
can Congress act fast enough and
drastically enough to stop the de
cline? Some recent events have
been encouraging, but they by no
means assure a change in the down
ward trend. Whatever happens, it
seems impossible for any important
Change to take place before late
January—a. fact which augm-s badly
for the Christmas season.
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
Some day we are going to take
time off and go through all the old
files and compile therefrom a size
able lttle booklet on things which
Kennewlck almost got. After we
get all through with it we'll per
haps add a chapter on some other
things which we ought to have.
Among this latter group will be one
item at least which by all rights.
should be located here. Thls par
ticular one is the Washington State
College. ‘
There is plenty of room for the
institution on the bench just south of
town. It would be an exceptionally
sightly location. the soil and climat
ic conditions are much more suit
able than at Pullman: locaton in re
lation to the rest of the state is
much in its advantage. three rail
roads for transportation, on main-1
trans-state highway—in fact every‘
qualification for the establishment‘
of the insttution is here . I
‘Thisisjustoneofthemany
things which Kennewick is suited
for Don’t you think that this local
ity has bright prospects for the fu
ture? Can you think of another
towninthestatewhichhasas
many advantages? And yet the
complaint that Kennewick is the}
best “next year" town in the world
is heard almost every day. Well,
for that matter it is— and Just

find that “next yearn” 1

Robinson Crusoe. how be m
stranded on an island with only a
goat,aparrotandablaekmanas
his companions. and how badly he
wanted to get off of that island. But
most people do not know that it was
advertising that got him off. He
had only a ragged shirt with which
to do his advertising. but he stuck
it on a pole, planted the pole in the‘
ground, and waited. He didn't get
discouraged when no one came the
first day—no good advertiser does.
But he kept advertising his predica
