NO KICKS AGAINST
PROPOSED TAXES
County, School District and City
Adopt Budgets Without a
Change

Last Monday, the day set for hear
ing on the annual budgets in county,
school district and city, was notable
in that no kicker appeared before any
of the taxing boards.
The county commissioners passed
their budget without change. It pro-
,vides for four-mill general road and
bridge levy and five mills in each of
the three districts.
This will provide a general fund
of $4,000 to be expended as follows:
Bridges, $4,000; resurfacing state
highways, $4,000; maintenance per-
manent highways, $4,000; culverts and
syphons, $4,000; signs, $500; emer-
gency work, $4,000; equipment crush
er, sprinklers, trucks and other i'm
plemcnts, $4,000.
The tax of five mills will raise $22,-
900 in this district which is to be ex-
pended as follows: Hover, outside of
permanent highway No. 8, $4O0; Fin
ley, outside of highways Nos. a and
g, $500; Richland, outside of state
highway, $4,000; Kennewick vicinity
outside of state and permanent high
ways, $4,000; Leslie road, $500; Ken
newick- -Vists-Erie road and other
roads in proposed new irrigated dis
trict, $4,000; Horse Heaven, $500;
maintenance and other new work not
listed, $4,000.
There were no material changes in
the city budget as adopted by the coun-
Gil Monday evening. It provides for
a general tax of IL mills and SIS mills
Indebtedness tax, making a total of
IT'S mills or a reduction of one mill
under last years levy. The city's as
,sessed valuation is 1851 900 this year
as against $s47,OOO last year.

RUNS OUT OF GAS
AND LANDS in JAIL
Man Who Stole Launch is Left
on Island by Capt0rs but
Wades Ashore

Elmer Gray, aged 25, who says his
home is in Spokane, is in the county
Jail in Prosser as the result Of a rath-
er strenuous burglary experience last
week.
Gray entered the home Of Mike
Driscoll in the east part Of town last
Thursday forenoon when there was no.
body at home. He took from the house
a suit case, revolver, a flash light,
some canned fruit and $1.50 in money.
crossing the river, tray appropriat-
cd gasoline launch belonging to Fed
Schuneman, headed her down stream
and opened the throttle. Misfortune,
however, oyertoot him when the sup
ply of gasoline gave o.. and he came
to harbor on an isl:.rd near Yellepit,
below Hover.
In the meantime the sheriffs OF
Benton and Franklin counties and the
police authorities of Kennewick and
Pasco were notified and a hunt began
for the missing man. Friday Capt.
Winslow, of the U. S. Steamer UNA
tilla, discovered Gray on the island
and in company with his chief engin-
eer, took the launch and revolver from
him after he had fired several shots
in their direction. Deputy Sheriff
Baxter was notified and he and Chief
of Police Copeland went down the RI
yer to get the man only to find that
he had waded from the island to Yel-
lepit where Saturday he hired out to
w. o. Meals as farm hand and went
out in Horse Heaven to work.
Sunday Baxter and Copeland went
to the Meals ranch and had hardly
placed Gray under arrest when he
beat it across the plowed field with the
two officers after him. Baxter proved
a good runner and the next day Gray
was sent to Jail. He will probably be
turned over to the authorities Of
Franklin county who will bring
charges of grand larceny for the theft
of the launch and afterward he will
be tried in this county on a petit lar
ceny charge.

of the Twin City Bakery served free
pie and coffee and presented each sol.
dier with tiny buttonhole flag. As
the souvenirs were presented Mrs. E.
Y. Hawley read the following:
eve give you tonight upon parting
this emblem of Liberty and pray Gods
blessing upon you as you journey by
land or sea. 'Tis the battle-worn ban
ner Of red, white and blue, whose
friends are legion, whose enemies are
few. Like an eagle who knows no re-
straint in flight, bear it on in it's ma
jesty, glory and might. AS Americas
sons forever be true to this silken BAN
ner of red, white and blue" ht
The community's farewell message
was expressed as follows on the last
pages Of the coupon book -
eff you have enjoyed yourself today
we are glad. The little we have done
is but a trifle, we know, but we only
wanted you to know that we appreciate
the fact that you are rendering the
highest patriotic service man can
render to his country; we wanted you
to know that we are proud of our
country, proud of our flag, and most
of all, proud of Our Boys who are go
ing to foreign land to face the fire of
a foreign foe, that this country and
this flag may endure and that the
world may be made fit for the free
peoples of earth. May God bless you,
keep you in strong body and Of stout
heart, and bring you back from Over
There to the arms of your loved ones

CHINKS NOT so PLENTIFUL
Week Ago There Seemed to be Just
Oodles of 'em but Scarce Now

Chinese pheasants since last Mon
day have not been nearly so plentiful
as they seemed to be before that date.
Since the season opened Monday morn
ing local hunters have missed no op-
portunity to get out after pheasants,
but they have had to earn all the game
they have bagged.
A week ago pheasants appeared to
be unusually plentiful in all parts of
the valley, but one days shooting was
enough to send the birds into cover
from which it is difficult to start them.
Altho a very few hunters have sue
ceeded in bringing back the bag limit
the average kill has been not more
than one or two birds to the man.

About Money

1t is convenient to have money. We
all see many ways in which we would
like to use it. But when we have money
we are all apt to wish just little more.
Who is to say what is the exact amount
it is right that we should possess
Wishes tastes, desires differ. We our
selves do not know what our limit should
be- With too much money one is likely
to become conceited, to lose sympathy
and be hard-hearted, and more than
likely regardless of the means he takes to
add to his store. If he has too little he
may be envious of others, embittered to-
wards society, tempted to dishonesty
Or there may be real suffering for need of
what money can buy. No one, not even
the man in a prison cell, can live in any
degree of comfort without money. 1t is
necessary to life.
Yet there are many things of greater
value than money, things that money
cannot buy, that are necessary to our
welfare. Undue love of money is a poi
son in the soul, eating out what is of
most worth. We may pay too high a
price for it's acquisition. We should
judge our desire for money by our pur-
pose, our motive in wanting it. Money
is power for good or evil, as we choose
