Terms-Yanks Sign String,

BY the Associated Press
n YEW YORK, January 31-Base
mi balls Winter complaint, holdout
Y fever, has struck in two quar-
ters.
FRANKIE Frisch, veteran second base
man of the st. Louis Cardinals, and
Jim Bottomley of the Cincinnati Reds,
both have revealed dissatisfaction with
the terms offered them for 1898.
I'm not going to send my contract
back" Frisch said, but neither am I
going to sign it. I think it can be
Strengthened out more satisfactorily In
a conference with Sam Breadon and
Branch Hickey than through the
mails.
Frisch declined to say what the con-
tract called for, but In view Of the
Cardinals announced policy of big
salary slices, some base ball observers
believed Frankie probably had not been
offered much more than half the e18,-
500 he was reported to have received
last season.
Bottomley, sent to the Reds by the
Cardinals during the of season, said he
had been offered a contract for 50 900,
a cut of $1,000, which he maintains was
too much.
THE Yankees made no progress with
l. their list of holdouts which in
cludes Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig,
Ben Chapman and Johnny Allen. but
announced they had received signed
contracts from Wiley Moore. Walter
Brown, Lvn Larry. Bill Werber, Sam
Byrd and Marvin Duke.
The Giants signed Bill Shores. former
pitcher for the Philadelphia Athletics.
There were rumblings that the
Brooklyn Dodgers might have to add
Pitcher Hollis Thurston to an already
heavy ho.d-out squad.

Bank Holiday
In Country Is
Being Lifted
WHITE BLUFFS BANK EXPECTS
TO OPEN AGAIN FOR BUsI-
NESS LAST OF WEEK

President Roosevelt on Monday
morning began lifting the banking
holiday declared by him on March 5.
AS explained by him in his talk to the
public over the radio last Sunday eve
ming, the holiday extending over a
week was necessary to enable the gov
eminent to perfect the plan for open
ing the banks and to arrange for the
printing of two billion dollars worth
of additional currency to take care of
business demands when they were
opened again The details involved in
the closing of all banks in the coun-
try and the working out of plan to
open them again in order to take care
of the needs of the people to the great
est degree possible, is stupendous
task.
On Monday, banks were opened in
only twelve cities in the United States,
these being the cities in which are
located the twelve Federal Reserve
banks, San Francisco being the only
city on the Coast On Tuesday, banks
were opened in part of the clearing
house cities, which are the larger cities
of the country. In Washington this in
cluded only the cities of Seattle, Ia
coma and Spokane. On Wednesday,
further openings were authorized, in
such places as Yakima, Wenatchee,
Pasco, Toppenish, Walla Walla, and
other larger towns and cities Of the
country.
On succeeding days the authorize
lions to open will continue until all
banks that are to be opened again are
instructed to begin business.
The President selected this method
of progressive opening Of the banks so
| that the larger centers of population
and pay roll centers would be relieved,
and trade disrupted as little as pos
sible This is beneficial to the rural
communities as we'll as the larger CEN
tiers because nearly all farm products
offered for sale either have to pass
| through or be delivered and sold at
the larger centers. The sooner normal
business is restored at these points, the
sooner products will begin to move
again.
w. j. Kincaid, cashier of the First
Bank of White Bluffs, says that he
has received no word from the bank
ing department at Olympia regarding
the opening of this bank, but that he
expects information by the end of the
week.

Only One School in County
Will Not Finish Year

With the possible exception of one
rural school in Horse Heaven, all the
schools in Benton county will be able
to operate until the end of the school
year. The school district budgets for
next year will probably be slightly be-
lo,- what they were a year ago, but
may be raised little above what they
are this year in districts where last
years cut in finances impaired effic-
iency.
The county school tax this year is
$38, 1922 Under the new school bill this
tax will be cut next year to about
$4,000 This will materially reduce
school aid from the county, but will
give much-needed relief to the pro-
perty taxpayer. However, there will be
a very substantial increase in state
funds, which will be raised mainly by
non property taxes, and this ST in b,N-
port will more than offset tn b.. /,
county funds. The schools will v&.. q
able to realize fully next year the state
and county support provided in the

year of it's operation; but have ii
on very good authority that even next
year the annual county and state ap-
portionments will amount to at least
20 cents for each days attendance ir
grade and rural schools, ~ cents pei
day for high school attendance, anc
from one-fourth to one-third of the
cost of transportation in districts where
large buses are used.
Thanks to the income and sales tas
measures there will be large cut ir
the state school property tax in addi.
ton to the substantial cut in the coun-
ty school tax, as stated above. In many
school districts local taxes may bt
somewhat reduced next year; but thu
big saving. in local district taxes viii
