ORANGES DIVIDED
ON SCHOOL CODE
Finley Grange Goes on Record
Against Proposed Law While
Valley Grange FavOrs 1t

Evidently there is some difference
of opinion among the rural folk as to
the merits of the educational code
which proposes to put rural schools
under the direction and management
of a county board Of education. The
proposed law has been the subject for
discussion at several grange meetings
and other rural gatherings.
The Finley Grange Monday evening
after discussion of the bill adopted
resolution asking Senator D. v.
Morthland and Representative M. M.
Moulton to oppose the passage Of the
bill and in the event it does pass to
strive to have it referred to the peo-
pie. The following evening the Valley
Grange took action with a very de-
cisive vote in favor of the code.
Townspeople are not taking as lively
an interest in the bill as are the rural
people for the reason that the schools
of Kennewick and Prosser will not be
materially affected by the proposed
law.

To banquet or not to banquet. This
is the question which was finally dis
posed of by the Commercial club at
the weekly luncheon Wednesday. The
decision was not to banquet.
Some time ago the club voted to re-
vive the former custom of holding
an annual banquet. The date was
set for February IL and a committee
appointed to make the necessary ar
rangements. This committee reported
back to the club that it had been un-
able to arouse any enthusiasm among
club members and requested that the
club reconsider its former action. The
question was reopened and the ban
quet lost.
