ABOUT FREE PASSES.
w. j. Mcconnell Speaks for
Equal Taxation League.

w. y. MCCOnnoIl speaks TOR
Equal Taxation League.
Editor Idaho Free Press:
The following, which is an ex-
tract from the Moscow Evening
Journal of the 25th inst, explains
itself:
editor Journal: If you will
permit I would like to address a
few questions to the officers and
members of the Equal Taxation
league. Is it not true that you are
making a good deal of fuss about
nothing? 1t is probably true that
the members Of the legislature, the
state officers and others are favored
with railroad passes, but how does
that harm the rest us? IL it not
true that they are in luck, while
you fellows are simply kicking be-
cause you have to pay your fare
or walk? Please explain how the
public is damaged because a few
people ride on passes.
"Citizen."
AS you may have other citizens
who are seeking information on
the subject of railroad passes, per-
NIT me to give them through the
columns of your paper the statistics
which show the additional amount
paid annually by the people of
south Idaho to the Oregon Short
Line for passenger fares in conse-
quence Of the state officers and
members of the legislature being
bribed by passes.
1t is doubtless known to all that
passenger fares over the o. r & N. .,
the N. P. r. r. and the Great
Northern are but three cents per
mile while the Oregon Short Line
charges four cents over it's main
lines and five cents on its branches;
yet the last legislature, which was
under the absolute control of Gov.
Gooding, made E. w. johnson
from Ada, subject of ridicule be-
cause forsooth he introduced bill
looking to the relief of the people,
while the agent Of the road who
doled out the passes to the mem
bers and the their wives sat in the
lobby with a smile that was "child-
like and bland" deeming it rare
sport to see the representatives Of
the people become the ready tools
of his company, and that, too, at
such paltry price.
For the information Of "Citizen, !"
together with the governor and the
members of the legislature, who in
their indecent haste to pocket their
little pasteboards failed to con slider
how much their passes cost the
travelling public, permit me to give
the following mathematical analy-
sis:
The interstate commerce COM
mission in its report on the income
of railroads for the year ending
June 80, 1904, (See page 60) gives
the income for passenger fares on

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1906-04-13

Prizes Rapids, about sixty miles nom
Wenatchee, to connect with the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul road.
The traffic, both freight and passen-
ger. which chat large aud thickly set
tied region of Douglass country a. ound
Waterville, now entirely without a
railroad, would furnish will be almost
enough of itself to make the road q
paying proposition. With road run
ming from here direct to Waterville
the saw mills of this town would have
an absolute monopoly of the lumber
business of Douglass county. For
years to come they would need in
round numbers two thousand cars OF
our lumber In return Douglass
county would have to offer to road
running to her wheat fields from three
to five thousand cars of wheat per year
In relation to this proposition
Leavenworth is so fortunately located
that it cannot be left out of the ques-
ton Here is located the natural
water power necessary to develop the
electrical energy to operate the road
The freight tonnage we have to offer
to road of the character above out
lined is not to be despised. An exten-
sion of the line to Lake Wenatchee is
also within the bounds of possibility.
Including Waterville in the scheme
furnished the solution of the whole
difficulty in the building of a line OF
electric railway down the Wenatchee
river valley-the needed freight and
passenger traffic to convince capitalists
that it would pay to build the road.
This is the key to the proposition.

Cashmere Sees Her scheme Growing.
Now Ii Is Proposed To Build From
LeaVenwOrth 10 WaterviIIe.

"A little leaven hath leavened the
whole lump"
Some six weeks ago the commercial
club of Cashmere. the people OF that
town then having been reduced to one
train each way every twenty-four hours,
and these arriving at midnight, re-
solved to build an electric line from
their town to the county seat. The
matter got into the newspapers.
Then Wenatchee resolved to take a
hand in the movement, and Leaven-
worth was asked to join hands.
On Monday of this week meeting
was held in Wenatchee at which it was
decided to incorporate with a capital
stock of ten thousand dollars. all of
which is to be paid up. The purpose
of this company is to have survey o.
the route made, secure right-of-way,
make careful estimate of the cost of
construction and the amount of passen-
ger traffic and freight tonnage that
would be tributary to the route.
Later on a corporation will he form
ed to build the road and the original
corporation will be absorbed.
The following board of directors was
elected: NJ o. Tibbits, c. Fl. Huston,
Thos. Boleman and A. S B ,rbank of
Cashmere; Jno. B. Adams, of Leaven-
worth; F. NJ. Scheble, Marvin Chase
and Leonard Fowler, of Wenatchee; w.
H. Gridley, of Monitor. If Watervile
Joins the movement. as it is confidently
believed it will, two men from that
town will be substituted for two of the
above

Scheble, J. B. Adams, A. S. Burbank
and Walter Olive was appointed 10
visit Waterville and lay the matter be-
fore their people ard ask them to join
in. The committee took the boat
Yesterday morning at Wenatchee.
As the plan is now outlined it is pro-
posed to build from LeavenwOrth TO
Wenatehee, cross the Columbia river
on the bridge now building at Wenat-
chee and continue the line to Water
Vile. Later a branch line viii be con-
structed down the Columbia river to

In view of all the adverse comment
on the great ditch which the govern
ment is digging on the Isthmus of
Punama, the New York Independent
decided to send two OF the most dis
tinguished and learned members OF its
editorial staff to Panama to study the
situation, and to prepare for the public
an unbiased and intelligent statement
of facts and theories. Its papers are
the best we have seen on the canal
question. We cannot give for lack OF
space even digest of the articles.
1t appears that If built at sea level it
will cost So a head for every man, wo-
man and child in the country and if
built at 85 feet elevation with locks it
will cost SO head and then be of doubt
full efficiency.
1t will require a greater mass OF
masonry than any modern enterprise.
In time of war little piece of dyna-
mite secretly exploded in the locks, or
shells from a warship which can come
in easy reach, may render the canal, ii
built on the lock plan, useless when
most needed. The elevated plan re-
ouires dam across Chagres river one
mile and half long high enough to
hold 50 feet of water 1t cannot be

is demonstrated that the expense oi

out of the question. Engineers claim
that a canal at sea level can be finished
by 1919 and that if locks are used it can
be finished by 1915. The chief objec.
ton to the sea level route is its cost
and the time required to build it.
