Until Bonneville power rates

discussion about the actual dis
tributon of power to country
users is a bit beside the point.
v.However, long-time proponents of

up a cage which draws much ap
plause when they sketch the ad

The fact that the utilities dis

the utility district enthusiasts.

The much - heralded budgetary
control plan through which the

control is that the legislature pro
poses what each department shall

down to the last penny.
Carl Cover, industrious assist
ant to D. O. Hood and mentioned
as executive secretary to Gover
nor Martin, has been working for '
months preparing the forms each
department will use In checking
up with the administration. No
less than nine large forms go each
month to the, head of each state
department. Thereon he must list
his actual expenditures for the
nearest prior month, his estimat
ed expenditures for the month the
report is made and his requested
; expenditures for the following
month. To this data he must add
the actual expenditures for the
three months reported on tor the

Kipling May Rest
In Historic Abbey
Own Wishes to Rule; Many
Honors Heaped on Him
Following Death
LONDON, Jan. 1 g.-j-Rud-yard
Kipling, Great Britain's poet
and story teller of empire who
die dearly today, may be buried
in Westminster Abbey among the
nation's greatest sons.
Kipling's own wishes for his
burial place,, friends said, prob
ably will be the only deciding fac
tor. Throughout his life he
shunned national honors, refusing
knighthoods several times, and
this attitude, it was pointed out,
may also have led him to prefer
burial in some quiet spot. Final
arrangements will be made to
morrow. The British museum disclosed
that Kipling, shortly before his
death, gave it the manuscript of
"Kim,": probably the greatest as
well as one of the most popular
of his longer works.
Gift Kept Secret
Until After Death
The poet, who has been called
the- "favorite author of the Prince
of Wales," asked the museum not
to make public announcement of
the gift until after his death.
He stipulated that the manu
script, a bound volume, should
not be used "for purposes of col
lation or reproduction."- Anoth
er volume of manuscript poems
also was presented to the Mus
eum by Kipling.
The body will be cremated, the
family announced. It was taken
to a chapel from the hospital bed
where be underwent an emergen
cy operation Monday for a per
forated stomach ulcer. His Am
erican born wife and their daugh
ter were at the bedside when he
died.

WASHINGTON." Jan' 18:-fflV
Political strategy in both major
parties appeared tonight to be
approaching a 'bedrock basis at
last. ' - ' :
On the democratic side, an im
mediate aim evidently was to
keep factional strife in important
states to a minimum. Conferences
at the White House prompted new
tactics in camornia ana Georgia.

next week." v - "
The New Tork situation also is

Formidable Bolt
It Not Expected - .
Whether the 19 28 presidential
nominee will hint or any determ
ination to participate actively in
the Philadelphia convention is es
pecially awaited. Party leaders
profess no concern over the dan
ger of a formidable bolt; but ac
knowledge that convention pro
ceedings may not be all harmony.
W. Forbes Morgan, secretary of
the national committee, spoke of
the possibility in a radio address
advertising the convention to
tpnight. "We democrats have had a
great many charges and com
plaints,, hurled against us during
our many years of political life,"
he said, "but no one yet has ever
accused us of being tiresome or
dull. . . . . "
"When we have a family, dis
agreement, we 'speak right out in

gathering and say exactly what
we mean. We take it that dem
ocracy itself is founded on that
principle.
