TIE PRICE OUTLOOK

lie Et1CE OOx1OOh
While Kennewick merchants are
not given to making predictions,
the belief among them is general
that with farm products bringing
the highest prices for many years
the necessities Of life are due to
mount in price with the approach
Of fall and winter. Farm products
this year will reach the enormous
total Of ten billion dollars. With
all this money finding its way into
circulation. it is only natural that
price trends are going to be up
ward. Even now it is rising, and
each day sees q slight increase in
one or more commodities. Where
It will stop or when, nobody knows,
and since there is no way to avert
It the solution would seem to be In
buying now everything needed dur
ing the fall and winter months.
Stocking up with necessities at cur
rent prices should turn out to be
sensible and profitable investment.
It is safe to say there will not be
any decline from present prices.
The trend will be in the other di-
rection. The ones who buy now for
future consumption will, market ex-
perts assert, have reason later on
to be thankful they did so.

NOTHING IN COMMON

The recent announcement at Wal
la Walla by Irwin King. master OF
the State Grange. that he had en-
tered into an agreement with the
A. F. of L. looking towards the or
ganization of agricultural product
handlers, aroused some political
speculation around the state house.
The fact that both the A. F. of L.
and the G. I. O. have organizers
in the agricultural fields seeking to
unionize this industry has been OBJ
served with considerable interest by
the politicians OF the state.
The statement of the master that
he favored union organization Of
packing plants carried with it the
implication that he also favored
organization under the banner Of
A. F. Of L. all farm workers.
This means labor jurisdictional
war during the harvest season.
Whether or not the Grange will
stand for the action of its president
remains to be seen. Already rum
blings Of dissent have been heard
In Grange circles.
The farmers cannot afford to
have their crops tied up by labor
wars. This is just what is going to
happen. OF course Master King
sought to placate Dave Beck, the
Seattle labor king. incidentally, he
Is also playing q certain brand Of
politics. He did not learn his lesson
at Olympia last winter. At that
time certain Of his legislative rep
resentatives played around with the
G. I. o. This group will still play
With the G. I. o. The left wingers
always get together.
An affiliation with the A. F. Of L.
in the packing houses and the
handling Of farm produce will not
keep the G. I. o. organizers from
perfecting their units among the
farmhands. War is certain to come.
The only thing the State Grange
can and should do Is to stand clear
Of all labor movements. They have
nothing In common.

A platform to cut down taxes and
use every effort to reduce public
expenditures ought to prove q vote
getting one for any office, 1t seems
judging from the amount Of COM
plants relative to the numerous re-
ports now being required from the
several state and federal govern
ment agencies. A Kennewick cit
izen this week said he had q notion
to become a candidate for the leg
islature on such q platform. Ex-
Mayor Alfred Anon is the citizen
and its not too big bet that he will
be candidate for that office next
year. The community could do q
lot worse.

It's too bad that Kennewick fell
down on its share In the commune
ity program held at Benton City
last Sunday. It's like a lot Of other
things-it makes one conspicuous
by not participating in a thing Of
that sort. Several numbers had
been arranged for the Kennewick
portion but unforeseen events made
it impossible to produce them. Sub
situations might have been made,
however. There certainly is enough
talent in this community to have
secured number or two even at
the last moment. He hope the peo-
pie in that section will not think
for one moment that this district
deliberately let them down.

HOUSING BILL
is PRESSED TO
VOTE IN SENATE
Barley Impatient Over
Bipartisan Delay

Q.NS0. Ordered to speed
action by Majority Leader Bark.
ley, the Senate convened an hour
earlier today to continue debate
on the modified TOO million dollar
housing program.
Barley became impatient over
the delay as a large bipartisan
group peppered the measure with
restrictive amendments.
Senator Logan CD of Ken
lucky, proposed that the Secretary
of the Interior be given super
vision of the entire program, but
Senator Wagner CD of New
York, author Of the bill, and
others objected.
Senator Walsh CD Of Mass
achusetts, said Engan's plan would
place the program on the same
status as the PWA, adding:
"And there have been some
WubSb&uuAuS AASO1ACCS "a W@OS~
and extravaganza in that de-
partment."
Sponsors of the bill we're trying
to get another vote on the Byrd
amendment which would restrict
construction cost to $4,000 per
family, or $1,000 per room
adopted by the vote of 40 to 80,
and the Tydings amendment,
which would prevent any single
State from receiving more than
20 per cent of the total appropria-
ton.
Wagner said if the Byrd amend
ment is allowed to remain it will
destroy every objective Of the bill.
He said Tydings' proposal will de-
prive the slum-infested industrial
areas of funds necessary to carry
out the bills slum-clearance aims.

MONEY BILLS
SUCCESS seen

Q.N.S.). Senator Thomas I'D
of Oklahoma, author of the none

dicted its favorable reception in
the Senate next session, as public
hearings were brought to close
Thomas based his prediction on
the Endorsement Of the bill by a
number of monetary authorities
who appeared before the com
mittee. They included experts
from the financial circles of many
leading cities.
Thomas reiterated his intention
of spending part of the congress
Sional recess perfecting the Ian
guage of the measure and then
offering it to the Senate at the
next session. He plans to incor-
porate it in the proposed farm
rehabilitation program.
The bill would authorize the
board of governors Of the Fed
eral Reserve to stabilize the dol
lar at a point most beneficial"
to the economic welfare of the
nation, and work out a managed
currency system, to be offered to
the principal nations of the world.

HOUSE TO SEEK
MAGILL ADVICE
ON TAX EVASION
Doughton Determined
To Close LoophoIes

G.N.S) Undersecretary Of the
Treasury Roswell Magill today
was slated to be the first witness
at House hearings Monday, on the
Senate-House investigating com
mittee's recommendations for
drastic legislation to close tax
loopholes.
To speed action, Chairman
Doughton Cd OF North Carolina,
Of the Way and Means Committee,
called the hearing on the report,
instead of first framing a bill.
This shortcut, followed in draft.
ing the 1886 tax bill, brought bit.
ter protests from witnesses. They
declared they were forced to
shoot in the dark" in opposing
the Administrators tax program.
Film Stars Targets
Committee members believe the
most spirited protests will be
made against the recommends
tons striking at corporations
formed by movie actors and other
artists. and the boost in taxation
on aliens.
Many noted movie actors have
formed corporations to legally re-
duce their taxes and have de-
Tended their action on the ground
their years Of big earning are short
and their expenses high.
Possibility that the drastic
changes in the tax on foreigners
might drive foreign capital out Of
the country and depresS stock
prices was discounted by commit
tee members.
Time Is Short
The Treasury, it was understood,
was prepared to back the recon-
mendations for such stringent tax
legislation on personal holding
companies that they may be driven
out of existence.
While Chairman Doughton was
hopeful of enacting the legislation
this session, it might go over until
January, he admitted.

he was responsible.
The lobby managed to have the

BUDGET BUREAU
ASKS PRESIDENT
VETO FUND BILL
Three Items For Interior
Department Hit

G.N.SO. - President Roosevelt
today continued to study a request
from his budget director for q
veto of the $125, o00, 900 appropria-
ton, for the Interior Department,
which has been without funds
since August /.
It would mark the first time
within memory that a President
has vetoed a departmental appro-
priation bill if he follows the adj
vice.
Daniel w. Bell, acting budget
director, asked the veto in an at
tack on three items in the bill.
They are the 100000 fund for
the Big Thompson diversion tun.
mel in Colorado, 100000 for the
ella project in Arizona, and $14r
100000 for vocational education.
The Big Thompson project
would divert 100000 acre feet
Of water through a tunnel from
the west to the east side of the
Colorado divide, to irrigate
100000 acres Of farm lands in
habited by 175,000 people.
The ella project would take
100000 acre feet Of water from
the Colorado river to irrigate
lands in Arizona. Much Of this
land is already farmed, but the
additional water supply would
result in year.round crops.
