The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1909-08-27

Olympia, August 26-There need
be no guess work as to the fact that
the state OF Washington had an extra
session of the legislature. Just look at
your tax receipts in the future and you
will see traces of the $237,505 which
it appropriated, round $50, 600 OF
which is direct result of the investi-
CATION and extra session, not going
into sundries.
Whether the game will be worth the
candle is hard to say. The only pos
sible result seems to be the impeach-
ment of the insurance commissioner
and at this writing that looks possible
rather than probable.
At any rate the session, so far as
Legislative matters are concerned, is at
an end by decision of the attorney gen
eral, though the impeachment court is
still on, though some think it is off. "
And the state rested, having appar-
emily proved all that Mr.. Schively had
already admitted, possibly triae
more.
Enter the defense with testimony
and speechmaking. AS to the perjury
charge, Mr.. Schively did not sign the
notes. If he did sign them he had a
jag on, having been celebrating his
promotion to $40C per month from
$50; excuse sufficient some of US
might think. Whether, since his
resignation was never accepted, he
continued, also, to draw down the $50
does not seem to have been considered
worth looking into. Bige Eddy.

CannOniSm Is Not RepubIiCaniSm

The open letter of Congressman
Fowler, of New Jersey, addressed to
Speaker Cannon, published in the
daily press Of Tuesday, brought into
the lime light the part played by the
speaker in the making of the tariff bill
recently passed by congress. Cannon
ism is not Republicanism, and the
sooner the speaker is shorn of power
the better will it be for the Republican
party.
Much as some papers have endeav-
ored to convince the voters that the
bill passed was such revision down
ward as the people had right to be-
lieve would be made in response to the
platform pledge, there is good reason
for believing that the people are not
satisfied with the tariff bill, and that
they will show their dissatisfaction at
the polls. Congressman Fowler is not
alone in believing that the next house
of representatives will be Democratic.
If two men, with the advice of the
protected interests, are to be permitted
to shape the tariff, where is the use of
sending 478 senators and representa-
tives to Washington? The special
interests with their special representa-
tiyes in the house and senate fixed the
tariff rates. Of that there is no doubt.

WON'T IMPROVE OLD DEPOTS
6. N. Appeals to Courts from Orders of the
Railway Commission

Charging that the state railway COM
mission committed manifest error in
ordering certain changes to be made in
the conduct of the Great Northern rail-
way in the state of Washington, the
railroad has obtained writ of review
from Judge Gay, of the superior court,
requiring the commission to certify,
before October 4, transcript of the
record and proceedings under which
the commission issued its orders, for
review by the superior court. The
action is taken in the name of the state,
ex rel. the Great Northern railway.
In July last the commission, after an
exhaustive trip over the state, issued
orders for many changes, including
running water and modern toilets at
Leavenworth. Other orders, it is
stated, are not objected to by the rail3
way, but the changes indicated above
will be carried out only in case the
superior court sustains the railway
commission.
The petition of the relator states that
the company is now running all the
railway trains in the state of Washing
ton that the business justifes, and that
the company is under no obligations to
furnish running water or modern toilet
facilities at many Of the stations, and
at Stanwood is not under obligations
even to furnish water. Electric lights
and telephones may be desired at
stations, but the railroad company
takes the position that it is not obliged
to furnish them.
The relator filed bond of 5000
and during the tendency of the appeal
the orders OF the railroad commission
are superseded.

Amending the Constitution

The Youths Companion contains the
neatest explanation OF the manner in
which amendments to the United States
constitution are brought about. 1t is
worth reading and is as follows:
1t is just forty years since the last
proposition to amend the constitution
of the United States was laid before the
several states for ratification. 1t is there
fore not surprising that many persons
are unfamiliar with the process of
amendment.
The constitution itself does not pre-
scribe any details. Congress may by a
two-thirdS vote of both houses propose
amendments; or if the Legislatures Of
two-thirds of the states demand it, con-
gress must call a convention of all the
states to propose amendments. In
either case the amendments proposed
must be ratified by three-fourths of the
states-either by the legislatures or by
separate state conventions, as congress
may direct.
The frst-named method is the only
one that has ever been employed. All
amendments made heretofore have
been proposed by congress and sub
mitted to the state legislatures for rati-
fication.
Congress has just submitted to the
states an amendment authorizing the
imposition OF tax on incomes. 1t was
passed by both branches of Congress
by the necessary two-thirds vote, and
has been sent by the secretary of state
to the governors of the several states,
who will lay it before their respective
legislatures at the beginning of the
next session.
There is no limitation OF time
within which ratification must take
place. But the presidents seem to be
that although state which has once
rejected an amendment may afterwards
ratify it, state which has ratified it
may not thereafter withdraw the ratifi-
cation.
AS there are now forty-six states, it
will require the consent of thirty-five
states to make the amendment effective.
When the secretary of state has received
the certified ratification of the requisite
number Of states, proclamation will
be issued declaring that the amend
ment has become a part OF the consti
tuition"

Building Rush at Cashmere

The Farmers and Merchants Bank
has announced that work will be started
in a few days on new bank building.
The building is to be one-story brick,
31x62 feet, and will be fitted with the
latest bank fixtures. The old G. A. R.
hall is to be moved and the bank
erected on that lot.
The Big Department Store Co. will
soon begin the erection of an addition,
to be joined to the main store by
arches, giving the company 1000
square feet additional floor space.
The excavations for the additions to
the ]. A. Prentis and Union warehouses
are about completed, and work on the
new Cashmere State Bank building is
we'll under way. The addition and
steeple to the Presbyterian church will
be finished this week, and with several
dwelling houses under construction,
things are lively in the building line.

Initiative, Referendum and Recall

The Washington Direct Legislation
League will hold meeting in the Fine
Arts Hall at the A.-Y.-P. exposition
Tuesday, August 81. A number OF
prominent people have promised to be
present, among them Hon. w. S.
Uren, father of direct legislation in
the state of Oregon, who will speak on
six Years of the Initiative and Refer
endum in Oregon"
1t is not generally known that in
addition to Oregon the states OF Maine,
Missouri, Oklahoma, and South Dakota
have adopted constitutional amend
ments providing for the Initiative, Ref
erendum and Right of Recall. A
number of cities-Los Angeles, Gala,
Spokane and Seattle in our own state
have added this desirable feature to
their charters.
The Initiative, Referendum and Right
of Recall is good thing under any
government-city, state or national.
For the people to have the right to
ask that any law passed by the legisla-
ture shall be submitted to the approval
of the majority OF the voters upon a
certain percentage asking for such sub
mission is popular government, pure
and simple. That the right of recall
of some officer who was selected for a
term of years is both right and proper
was proved in Los Angeles recently,
when the mayor refused to resign after
having been practically convicted of
grating. AS soon as the machinery of
recall was set in motion he was willing
enough to resign. The right of recall
proved amply sufficient, without having
actually to resort to it.
The objection that it will prove ex-
pensive and cumbersome has not been
borne out in practice. The Initiative,
Referendum and Right of Recall are
rights that should be reserved to the
people. They do no harm TO honest
men and measures, and will act as a

Another Accident at Death Curve"

Ira Parry, killed in an automobile
wreck last week at Seattle, was well
known in Leavenworth, having mar
ried Miss Jessie Fritz, daughter of
j. G. Fritz, of this place about one
year ago.
Parry's body was recovered two
hours after the accident floating nearly
a mile southeast Of the point where
the automobile went over the bridge.
The accident was due to the automo-
bile crashing through the trestle rail
ing at Death Curve" the dangerous
turn in the Fourth avenue trestle that
gained its name from the accidents
that have occurred at that point. The
party, consisting of Parry and three
young ladies of Vancouver, B. c., were
precipitated into the bay and drowned
in eight feet of water.

pensation when he is not responsible
for the injury. Last year a bill was
introduced by that suave Senator from
Union, Mr.. Alderman. When we
showed him that 1t did not change the
existing situation, didn't broaden out
the law, that calling 1t an employers
liability bill didn't make Il one, we
could not change his purpose. The Re-
pubIicans were not there to put through
an honest bill. They were there to
put through something called an en-
ployers' libaility law to fool he people.
The labor men accepted 1t finally. but
now they wish that they had listened
to the Democrats. They want 1t re-
pealed.
Another big issue Is that Of control
Of public utilities corporations. I want
to express my respect and admiration
for the courage of a Republican in the
last Legislature from this county
named William p. Martin. You may
not like Billy Martin, but / want tc

pledges made In his platform kept hs

his fight he commands the respect anc
esteem not only of the men who pu,
him in the Legislature, but OF his po'
litical opponents"
After reading the platform pledge o,
the state Republican convention o.
1907 Mr.. Sullivan said:
Governor Fort has declared thai
unless the Republican party lives up t.
it's pledges 1t merits defeat. He made
that statement in a special messag,
sent to the Legislature. Fort II
fine at writing special messages. Blu
when Il comes to facts and deeds
where is he? Where is he on the pub
lie utilities question? He forced othe'
bills through the Legislature. but wher
1t comes to that pledge to give thu
people q public utilities commission h,
does nothing.
I'm vain the Democrats n New
Idea men tried TO get a public utilities
bill through In 1908. Last winter tn
bill was introduced again. The Demo
Gratis offered amendments to it and
day was set for argument. In SOM
strange manner, when the day set TO
the discussion came around, Republican
amendments to the bill were taken Vi
first. We Democrats discussed thes
and the good amendments were adopt
ed and the bad ones beaten. The bill
was then In pretty good shape. TIL
Republican Regulars planned to vot'
