Kiwanians Shy at
Sponsoring Pres. Ball

Because they can't possibly come
fast enough to suit the majority Of
the local Kiwanians, they don't care
whether they celebrate the PreSi-
dents birthday this year or not.
LeaStways, they showed a notice
able lack of interest yesterday when
a letter from George Beardsley was
read asking the club to take charge
of the annual Presidents Birthday
Ball in January. The club Just
amt agointa do it. But they do plan
to go to go to HermiSton on Decem-
Der 4 for a joint meeting with the
Hermiston Rotary club. If former
Kiwanian Chas. Hodge can secure
passes into the government works
down there, there will probably be
quite a delegation attend the meet
ing.

City to Receive
Two Percent on
Utility Incomes
Power, water and tele-
phone service to pay
on gross receipts

Municipal corporations will have
to pay the city a two percent gross
revenue, beginning the first of the
year, as a result of the final pass
age last night of Ordinance No. 1853
Two percent of the gross income
ON electricity, water and telephone
service will produce an income to the
city of about $1,000 per year. This
amount has been included in the
city's budgeted income for next year.
Upper valley towns have been re-
ceiving this discount on their pow
er bills for a couple of years and
the tax was levied with the full ac-
ceptance Of the power company, as
it eQualizes the rates with those
other towns. However, Kennewick
readily gets a little the best of this
deal, for the Kennewick water sys-
tenn is the only one in the valley
by the power company.
The telephone TAX Is a little diff
fei emit. Indications are that the
tax win be passed on to the consum-
er in July when the item viii appear
On the telephone statements, 1t Is
understood. The tax in this case
S based on a dollar year per tele-
phone. se~
Only those services inside the city
limits are affected by the new tax.

City to Set Up
Sinking Fund
For Future Needs
New law permits ac-
emulation for SPECIAL
uses of municipality

A law passed by the recent legis-
lature permits municipalities to
set up sinking funds for future civic
Improvements. With the memory of
the cost Of the old fire truck still
in mind, Kennewick's councilmen
last night were strong for the idea
of setting up such a fund for our
town. -"
Years ago bonds were issued for
$500 for the purchase of the old
fire truck-an expenditure, which
at the time, was considered abso-
lutely essential to the protection of
the town. However, before the fl
nal bond was paid the cost had al
most doubled, the interest item
having accumulated to that extent
through the years. ~ -.z..---,.,,..,,.aG
Other equipment Is needed every
now and then, but with the only
prospect of a bond issue, some
things are passed up as result. For
Instance, the councilaen think that
within the not too distant future
it will be necessary to install a
sewage disposal plant. A municipal
water system has been discussed
frequently within the past few
years. Other new items will be
needed. With a sinking fund, these
items can be purchased without the
necessity Of bond issue with its
attendant expense, interest, etc.
AT any rate, next year, the bud
get will contain an item for sink
ing fund, which, in a few years will
have amounted to enough to handle
such items as may be required with
out q bond issue. ~ w.. II

individual donations

Because of the almost doubled

will require a lot of work and COOP
Grafton, Urban Rocker, chairman
announced today. Every possible
source of help will be required, he
said, and the general public will
have to come through" in much
better style than in previous years
If the quota is to he achieved.
Principal reason for the increase,
is the jump from 5000 to $500 on the
Red Cross quota, Mr., Koelker ex-
planned, although the other bene-
ficiaries are also asking increased
allotments from the chest fund. The
drive this year, as for the past sew
eral years, will include Red Cross
memberships, as that organization
Will not conduct special campaign.
The committee is busy this week
preparing the letters to be sent to
all individuals and business houses
In the Kennewick area. The chest
drive will include the rural area this
year instead of the city limits pro-
per, as the beneficiaries are not
strictly city charities, but affect the
entire community as well.
The plan to he adopted this wear.
Rocker explained, is to have the
letters all in the mail by next Mon
day. Those living outside the town
proper are asked to mail Their con-
trlbutions, but in the business area
they are to be held for the solicit
ors, who will follow up next Mon
day when the 100 percent placards

Beneficiaries this year will be the
same as last year with the addi-
ton of a contribution to the school

ALBERT S. yGoss, for eleven years
master of the Washington State
grange, was elected yesterday to
head the National Grange.
AT the same time the Grange
voted to hold its 1912 convention

specific city in which the convention
will be held was left to the or
gauizationIs executive committee.
BUT, according to an Associated
Press dispatch from Worcester
Mass, where the Grange conven-
ton Is now in session, it is expect
ed that Seattle will be selected.
Goss was elected master of the
National Grange to succeed Louis
j. Tabor, who has held the post
for the last eighteen years. Be
cause of poor health Tabor had
made four different requests in the
last three months to be permitted
to retire. ~

istration and moved to Washington,
DC. - r..

the State Grange, he was also
chairman Of the executive commit
tee of the National Grange, and a
member of the board of the Fed

ADMINISTRATION farm policies. par
hcularly those pertaining to agri-
cultural credit. He resigned as
and bank Commissioners last year
after presidential order trans
.erring his agency, which had pre-
Hiously been independent, to the

Stand Presented
GoSs took the position that the
ederal farm credit system, with its
and banks and local credit associa-
ions, should be independent and |
cooperative in character.
The man whom he is succeeding
n office has served as master of |
he National Grange longer than
