Their names are certified by the

TO PASS ON BUDGETS
State Board of Authorization to Con-
slider Increased County Tax
Rates Under New Law
(By Associated Press

Sacramento, Aug. 27.-All bu. four
counties of California have reported
to the State Board of Authorization,
created by the last Legislature to
prevent the wholesale increase of tax
rates in counties, that their budgets
are complete or in process of prep
aration and soon will be sent to Sac
ramento. The board will then pass
upon them.
Already the authorization board has
allowed Kings county to increase Its
tax rate for the coming year, to pro-
vide for the expenditure of s232,0oo
for bridge work and contracts already
let but uncompleted.
The law under which the board Is
operating is now being tested by Sac
ramento county, which holds 1t un'
constitutional. nAttorney General u
S. Webb, in an opinion, has held the
law unconstitutional, but the courts
will be asked to pass upon it.

THE HOME GARDEN PLAN

Holders of vacant property WITHIN
the city limits should cooperate with
the garden committee Of the Board
of Trustees VINO are seeking TO pro
mote the vacant lot gardening in the
city.
Property within reach OF water is
the most desirable, and if the prop
erty is offered the city for garden
use. no doubt a cheap water rate can
be secured to encourage the patriotic
movement of increasing the home
production of vegetables.
The plan should be taken up at the
opening of the schools, and large gar
dens made ON the school property, as
has been done all over the Unitec
States in response to the appeals OF
the President. The opening of the
schools will come at the time that
the gardens should be planted, ane
the work could easily be encouraged
by the school officials.

GRASS HOUSES GONE
Primitive Houses of Hawaii Are Be-

Honolulu, Hawaii, Aug. u The
primitive grass house which has been
associated with the people OF the Ha-
waiian Islands, is becoming almost .
curiosity to Island people themselves
and the lack of them source OF
regret to tourists. Only here and there
on the private estate of wealthy pco'
pie are TO be found old time grass
houses, which are presedved as e%'
amples of the romantic days of the
now defunct monarchy. The grass
house used by Kamehameha V and
located almost ION the Beach at Wal

that beach resort. The art OF making
grass houses is known to but few OF
the modern Hawaiians and has be.

CATHOLICS MEETING

Peace Proposals Of Pope Benedict

| Which Began Today
(Hy Associated Press)

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 27.-Many
members of the Catholic hierarchy of
the United States are here to attend
the sixteenth annual convention Of
the American Federation Of Catholic
Societies which began today and will
continue until Wednesday.
The list of churchmen, headed by
Rt. Rev. Giovanni Bonzano, apostolic
delegate, and his suite, included more
than thirty-five archbishops and bish-
ops and about 500 of the clery. Sew
era Thousand delegates and visitors
fbro mall parts of the country also
are here.
Comment On Peace
The recent peace proposal OF Pope
Benedict lent particular interest to
the gathering and it is expected it
will be made the occasion for some
| comment.
The convention will be inaugurated
tomorrow afternoon with a pontifi
cate, Archbishop Glennon Of St. Louis
will deliver the sermon. In order
to accommodate the crowds expected
two field masses will be celebrated il
the Cathedral yard by Archbishop
Hanna of San Francisco.
Monday morning and afternoon bus
mess sessions will be held. In The
evening there will be at patriotic eel
ebration at local park at which the
visiting archbishops and bishops vii
! talk.
Consider New Plan
One of the important matters tt
come before the convention is tht
question Of adopting the so-callee
diocesan plan,' whereby it is pro
posed to affiliate practically all o.
the smaller Catholic societies in th'
county with the federation increasing
the latter's membership by about three
million. The federation is now com
posed Of thirty Of the larger Cath
olic societies. Under the diocesan
plan the jurisdiction would be place.

MILITARY INSURANCE

The insurance companies are tigh'-
ing the proposed government insur-
ance plan for our soldiers and sailors.
They profess to be greatly disturbed
by the loss the government will incur
on account of the low rates to be
paid by the policy holders. Premi-
ums as low as per cent, they say,
will not begin TO compensate the
government for the policies 1t will
have to pay, on account of the high
rate of casualties. a rate, they argue,
for men engaged in peaceful pursuits,
and is absurd wehn applied to fight
ing men in this deadly war
These objections need not carry
very much weight with Congress. The
public regards the low rate as a
merit rather than a defect. Aminis-
;ration officials explain that the gov
srnment is able to carry on life in-
sUrance business at much lower
rate than private companies, because
it has no such overhead charges as
they have. in the form of agents
commissions, advertising. promotion
rentals. etc. 1t is evident, too, that
the men concerned constitute excep-
tionally good risks" other things be-
ing equal, because they are picked
men, mostly young and all above the
average physically. Moreover, the
fatality rate among active troops i:

prove, than the insurance men admit

REED UTTERs WARMING.
Webb Dill Destructive Of Antitrust
leQislation.


Washington, Dec 12.-Warning that
the United States must prepare to as
sumo further burdens to win the war
was given today in the senate by Sen.
ator Reed in vigorously opposing as q
trust scheme the Webb export COM
bination bill, which President Wilson
in his recent address urged congress
to enact.
Declaring that congress should con-
centrate upon great war problems de-
fer consideration Of such legislation
as the export trade measure, the Mis-
souri, senator said that with Russia
out of the war and Rumania also
gone" the enemy, numerically, is now
superior in man power. ..-...
Although an opponent Of army con-
scription, Senator Feed predicted
that new draft levies probably would
be necessary and urged military train
ing for youths between IS and 81 for
coast defense work. Invasion of Amer.
lea, he asserted, was not beyond the
realms of impossibilities should other
allied powers fall beside Russia, Ru-
mania and Serbia. .
The Webb bill was denounced by
Senator Reed as destructive of the
Sherman antitrust law at behest of
trusts and monopOlies, and proposed
legalizing of illegal combinations
which would encroach on consumers
abroad, and increase domestic prices.
