SHOP EARLY

THE signs that we see everywhere
= reading only thirty, twenty, OF
ten more shopping days until Christ
mas may seem foolish to us. But
they ought to be taken seriously from
now on, After Thanksgiving we've
all got to plan for Christmas, but un-
fortunately most cf US put off max
ing the plans until the holiday crowds
have begun to return home and the
community Christmas tree is being
erected.
The editor of the Courier-Reportel
in his calls upon the merchants ot
Kennewick has been impressed with
the fact that the citizens of Kenne-
wick will have al, unusually fine line
Of goods from which to select gifts
this year. In fact our memory does
not bring to mind single Christmas
season during which the citizens Of
Kennewick had such a fine line OF
goods from which to make selections.
But these stocks will not last for
ever. This is likely to be heavy buy
ing season according to all indica-
tions, and the last minute shopper
will probably find it mighty difficult
to select just the appropriate gift for
everyone on his Christmas list.
So make your plans now. Do your
shopping early. If you don't you may
get left.

SCHOOL LEGISLATION

CCHOOL legislation which was in
! ~ cluded' with roads and reclamation
as being one of the great vital, out
standing problems of the state by
! Gov. Hartley in his message, should
be absolutely divorced from roads
and reclamation legislative contests,
| This is the opinion Of the legisla-
tive leaders in both the house and the
senate. There is an unwillingness to
consider the schools in combination
with either reclamation or roads, both
| of which subjects are more or less
tinged with politics, politics to GER
tain extent guiding both road appor-
tionments and reclamation aids.
! Because of this feeling, which is
becoming more deep rooted as the
session progresses, the formation OF
blocs, combinations or agreements to
tie the major problems together is
not meeting with any great degree
of favor. In fact the state of Wash
ington has never leaned towards bloc
legislation in recent years and is in
clined to be rather resentful towards
agreements designed for this ex-
pressed purpose.
The school question is large one,
the members realize and appreciate,
and there is no inclination to rush in
to this problem without a full and
complete consideration Of all sides
to the questions involved. On the 9TH,
er hand the reclamation groups are
demanding immediate action-willing
to make any sacrifice to get their
proposed measures enacted into law
and rushed to the governor.
Such speed in any school legislation
is bound to ultimately result in harm
to the schools. There are plenty of
legislators, men of long years of leg
islative experience who believe that
the school systems are not what they
should be, and hope that ultimately
the warning groups will be able to
meet on common ground and work
out some solution to these troubles.
However, as long as the groups are
engaged in forming blocs, combina-
lions and agreements, the prospects
of meeting upon common ground
become more faint, as there is no
common ground in legislation con-
trolled by blocs. Efforts to have the
entire educational question given a
fair and open hearing, and then to
pass it over until the next session
for further consideration during the
interim are now being made.
In discussing the school problems,
the legislators are strongly adverse
to have the entire argument hinge
around the taxation point. They are
demanding, in addition to the criti-
cism as to costs, something more
feeling that in the schools, as in all
public enterprises, a certain percent
age of the costs must be charged to
public ownership and operations. If
there is something radically wrong
with the curriculums, the text books,
the courses of study or the manage
ment of the schools, the legislature
desires to know what it is, before
acting.
For this reason the sentiment
against tying in the schools with any
other program in an effort to get

CITIZENS COUNCIL
PROPOSAL BACKED
kaIorama Association In
dorseS PIan-To Aid Zone
Law Fight.

The Kalorama Citizens Association,
st a meeting in St Margaret.s Parish
Hall, Connecticut avenue and Ban
croft place, last night, indorsed the
proposed citizens advisory council
and voted to aid in the fight for
coming.
J.. G. Yaden of the Federation OF
Citizens Association committee,
which drafted the original plan for a
citizens advisory council, at the re-
quest of the Commissioners briefly
outlined the history of the movement
and explained the effect of the
numerous reyisions and amendments
to the plan.
Mr.. Yaden stated that the scheme,
as 1t now stands, takes the formal
title of citizens advisory council,
that the members thereon shall be
elected yearly to serve for one year
and that no one is, eligible for cleo
tion who. is not a member of some
neighborhood civic organization. The
council he said, will consider only
sueh matters as are referred to 1t by
the Commissioners or the federation.
All fears of constituent associa-
tions that their rights and privileges
would be usurped or abridged should
be allayed, he declared as they Will
still have the right of direct appeal
to the Commissioners for needed civic
improvements. He commended the
Commissioners for their action in
calling in the citizens to aid in their
efforts to give to the city every
needed Improvement commensurate
with the appropriations available.
The association voted. unanimous in
dorsement to the principle of the
plan. but reserved the right to
criticize or reject any new provisions
attached to the finished document
Edgar B. Henderson, president of
the Piney Branch association and
chairman of the zoning committee of
the federation, spoke of matters per-
tinent to the pending court action
where mandamus action is asked to
have the rulings of the zoning COM
mission set aside as unconstitutional
The city Will develop in a hetero-
geneous way, Mr.. Henderson said, if
the court decides against the zoning
commission. At the conclusion of his
talk the association voted to aid in
financing the employment of outside
counsel to aid the corporation counsel
In fighting the attack.
The Commissioners and Congress
will be urged to- order a complete
codification of all municipal laws of
the District, according to a resolution
presented by j. NJ. Murphy and
adopted by the association. This
action was taken as a, result of
suggestions by Justice Siddons in a
recent address before the Kalorama
association President George A
Kicker presided.

President Coolidge declined to

closing days of the last Congress,
Mr. Steward said.
"The President, for what seemed
to him adequate reasons, declined
to interest himself in the mat

will have TO be resumed in the
NEXT Congress. The failure to Sc
cure the actual enactment of addi-

Dissension and friction within
the ranks of the Federation was
scored by President Steward.
