cheaply as they can build one. In
that they may be correct, but there
Is something about owning a home
that far more than offsets any adj
vantage in being a renter.
Those Kennewick citizens who
own their own homes enjoy a feel
ing of independence the renter can
not know. Home ownership makes
for good citizenship and patriot
ism. A mans home is his castle,
and the ability to say ''This roof
above my head is mine" makes him
a better citizen.
With the approach of spring there
is going to be launched q nation
wide home-building campaign, and
this community is certain to hear
lot about the subject before 1898
has progressed very far. Since It Is
considered today the most import
ant campaign that could possibly
be launched looking toward q COM
plete restoration of prosperity, and
as 1t comes when the nation has q
shortage Of millions of houses and
must take some definite action at
once, It Is q subject that everyone
ought to become interested in.
BODYBUILDING will be the biggest
movement in America this year,
and this year should be the logical
time for every man who has been
postponing the building Of q home
to set about it without further de-
lay.

GOOD RESOLUTIONS


Following q custom which dates
back far beyond the memory Of old
est citizens around Kennewick the
making of "New Year resolutions"
are now in order, and the usual
large number are INDUCING in this
innocent pastime. We say "inno-
cent" pastime, because as q general
rule such resolutions are not of q
nature to do much harm even II
they're broken. But as lightly as
such resolutions are usually kept
there Is always one that can be car
ried. out to the letter, and that will
benefit not only the one making
the resolve but the entire commune
ity as well. That is q resolve to
take some part during the year in
adding to the welfare and attract
iveness Of your hometown and by
deed and action halping to make it
q still happier place in which to
live.
No better resolution can be made
by anyone as the new year gets UNI
der way than one to take q more
active interest in the various move
ments, plans and discussions that
will come up during the year. A re-
solve to join in and help out in all
worthy public movements, instead
of assuming a disinterested posi-
ton and letting the other fellow do
the work and the boosting is as
fine a resolution as it is possible
to make. A resolution to enlist in
the ranks of the boosters and to in
every way ignore and discourage
the chronic knockers is a contri-
button to the community you need
not be ashamed to make.
If you make but one resolution,
let that be it. You hometown needs
your cooperation, your suggestions
for community betterment and
every good example you can pos
sibly set during 1898. Making that
kind of resolution, and then living
up to it, is bound to bring you a
lot of satisfaction and it will like
wise help to make your neighbors
still more glad that you are part
of the community.

MORE BIKES
Reports by the bicycle makers OF
the country show that they turned
out 1,250,000 Of them during 1897
an even greater number than In the
boom year Of 1929. The auto was
supposed to have driven first the
horse and then the bicycle into OBJ
hvion, but this doesn't look Ike t.
And both bicycles and horses are
as numerous as ever before. The
auto is not affecting the bike to any
extent, but the bike is setting up q
new problem for the auto. It Is
making It still more dangerous to
drive. and while most motorists rec
ognize the added danger the cyclers,
most Of whom are of the teen age,
fails to realize it. As q result rid
ing q bicycle has become q pretty
dangerous proposition both on the
streets Of Kennewick and on the
neighboring highways. Motorists
Will do their utmost, Of course, to
avoid collision with q cyclist. But
the motorist must not be expected
to assume all the responsibility. It
Is up to the parents Of boys and
girls who ride bicycles to make
that fact plain to them. otherwise
the increasing popularity Of the
bike will be source of tragedy in
stead Of healthful and enjoyable
form OF outdoor recreation.

and 1887 pupils in this country's
schools practiced the savings habit
to the extent of more than $4,000
OO0-a staggering total. And most
Of 1t, practically all of 1t, saved in
pennies and nickels. It is some
thing that should set older heads to
thinking, too. If saving pennies will
pile up such q sum, what will saw
ing few dollars each week mean?
Thirst is in the air in this country
now and the school child who isn't
being taught it IS going to lag be-
hind the procession when he gets
out into the world.

PROFITABLE READING

No matter what newspaper you
may pick up-read the ads along
with the news and usual features.
You'll not only find the ads carry
much information of interest, but
they also point the way to real
economy. Men Of wisdom no longer
argue that advertising no longer
pays. II it didn't pay, for instance,
Henry Ford would not be spending
over six million dollars q year to
advertise car that is so well known
already it is q household word.
Campbell wouldn't be spending
around two million dollars year
to sell soups. and so on down the
line with so or 100 other concerns
spending as much as $1,000 900 each
to advertise their products for q
single year. And the best part Of it
Is 1t pays those who buy the same
as it pays those who sell. So al
ways read the ads always re-
member that you can profit most by
buying from the men or the firms
that advertise all the time.

OWNING A HOME

The desire to have and to own
the necessities of life is as old as
the human race. It is a natural in
stinct that is common to animal
life, high and low. It expresses q
truth that is undisputed, and yet a
recent survey shows that but one
out of every five actually own a
home. The largest majority, by
far, are renters. Their chief argu-
ment for remaining in that class is
that they can rent q home as

alism, and in the government itself.
First, business must be treasured
and that means that 1t must be
convinced that it will be permitted
under the American system of
free enterprise carry on it func-
tions without bureaucratic dictation,
and earn a reasonable profit from
its labors.
Second, it is essential that con-
gress take the necessary steps to
remove from the bent back of indus
try, the capital gains and the sur
plus profits taxes which are often
called taxes without a friend"
Third, business must be encourag-
ed to spend in channels that create
wealth, income and employment.
For example, it is estimated that II
the much discussed peace pact
between the administration and the
utilities is reached the electric In
dustry will spend q billion or more
annually for Improvement and ex-
panSion.
Fourth our basic medium Of
transportation. the railroads, must
be permitted tariffs that provide q
fair margin Of operating profit. This
industry Is normally the nations
greatest single empower the DUR
chaser Of supplies.
Fifth the government must put
its fiscal house In order - which
means q balanced budget and q
plan for steadily reducing the ma
tional debt.
Sixth, in matters affecting all in
dustry there must be a restora-
ton Of confidence. There must be
q cooperative spirit toward our
great security exchanges instead Of
an inimical attitude that tends to
render them impotent. There must
be rebuilding of our faith in the
processes and philosophy Of our
constitutional form Of government.
The industrial and agricultural
resources Of this country are great

national wealth, In living stand

can come finer civilization than

we use to the fullest advantage the

this the first essential is fairness

STOP THE PROCESSION"

The hopes that were held out dur
Ing the first half of this year for
continued expansion of industrial
production, growth of private en-
ployment, and an increasing ma
tional income, have been dissipat-
ed. The United States enters the
new year under the cloud of a crit
ical business recession.
The values Of securities depreciat-
ed by more than 40 percent in a
single week during October-and
they are still lowering near the lows
reached at that time. The unem-
ployment totals. notably in the
heavy industries, are soaring SER
iously. The standard indices of
business activity have shown alarm
ing and continued drops. Frighten-
ed investors reveal an increasing
disinclination to place their
money in productive enterprise.
individuals, worried as to the fu-
ture, are cutting their personal buy
ing to the limit, with te resultant
Oppressive influence on the entire
business structure. The chaotic
labor situation is still another bar
r1er to the normal progress Of
trade and industry.
This recession cannot be accur.
ately compared to the occasional de-
cl1nes which characterize almost all
upward business cycles. It is, in.
stead, the inevitable result Of q long
series Of deliberate acts which could
eliminate only in what we witness
today. Those whose voices were
dtsregarded for many years, because
they refused to view conditions thru
rose-colored glasses, are seeing their
prophecies and their fears come true
today.
The federal government has pur-
sued q policy Of competition with
private businesses, which has pre-.
vented the spending Of billions Of
private capital.
The federal governpent has pr,r-
sued q fiscal policy which long
enough continued must end in
Bankruptcy and has continuously
put off the day Of reckoning. Some
two dollars have been spent for
every dollar received In tax reve-
nueS. The federal debt has doubled
In about five years. And the bur-
den Of present heavy taxes plus the
prospects Of still heavier taxes In
the future has been one Of the most
dampening Of all influences that re-
tard investment and Industrial de-
velopment.
The federal as well as many Of
the state governments has hamper
ed normal competition in the field
Of trade, to the end that prices have
been artificially forced upward and
the consumer has rebelled.
Business has been burdened with
special taxes which while small
revenue producers, disrupt normal
Industrial operations, prevent the
creation Of the financial SURPRISES
which are essential safeguards
against bad times, and discourage
expansion.
In brief, government has tended
In late years to be the enemy, not
the ally, Of legitimate business
competitor, not an UNI
pire, In affairs that belong proper
" In the sphere Of private enter
prise In q democratic nation.
What can be done to remedy this2

F FLIP l N 0 BACHELORS
 WORRY CAL.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22.-Six- ty thousand bachelors, who have no hope of marrying or rearing families, are proving problem to social agencies and themselves. They are Filipinos the latest addition to Americas melting pot and the one that appears least
 likely to melt.
 In the wave of immigration that
 preceded the Philippine indepen- dence act, the new arrivals were virtually all men, Now that the bars have been clamped down there is no way for them to obtain brides from among their own peo- pie. Few American girls have mar ried them, nor is there much min gling with Mexicans, Chinese or other racial groups. The men sim ply remain single.
 The U. s. immigration service estimates that 97 per cent of the Filipinos now in the country are males, averaging 30 years of age. To permit them to go back to a normal life among their own peo- pie, Congress voted free transpor- tation to the islands but so far only 1900 have taken advantage of it. The offer expires next De- cember 31.
 We think our people should go home, but the movement will re- quire time and careful arrange ments" says Dr. Hilario c. Mon cado, President of the Filipino Fed eration of America. "Filipinos are proud people. The boys do not want to go back without money or without assurance they will earn a living"
 Edward w. Cahill, district i'm migration commissioner, who has made a close study of the Filipino problem, finds that 65 per cent en- gage in farm labor, while those in elites work as houseboys, elevator operators, janitors, etc. Their earn ings are small but few go on relief. They are Malay in race, Christian in religion.
 Even their own leaders concede that Filipinos spend their money largely on clothes, gambling and women" Their natty attire is pro- verbal in California, which con- tains about half the nations Fili- pino population. Taxi dance halls employing white girls and gam bling houses are allowed to run wide open in some agricultural areas that heed Filipino labor.
