The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1909-06-04

One of the largest athletic events
ever conducted in the Northwest will
be the intercollegiate track and field
meet between the six colleges of the
Northwest, which will take place on
the Stadium of the A.-Y.-P. Exposition
June 14th. The colleges entering are
Idaho, Oregon, Whitman, Washington
State, Oregon Agricultural and Wash
ington. These six institutions have
never met before in single athletic
event, and the coming meet is attract
ing the attention of college men and
sport lovers all over the Northwest.
The new stadium is amply capable of
accommodating such an event, and is
already completed. VIM. Inglis, Direc-
tor of Athletics at the Exposition, has
sent out entry blanks and completed
arrangements for the big contest.

The opening guns of the Woman
Suffrage campaign in this state have
already been fired, but the first import
ant event of the fight for the ballot in
Washington will be the meeting at
Seattle, July 1st, of the National Wo-
mans Suffrage Association. Thousands
of women will be in the city from all
parts of the country, and Victory in
1910" will be the slogan of the week.
Rev. Anna Shaw, National President Of
the Association, will travel across the
state in the Suffrage Special on June
10Th and make speeches from the plat
form at leading cities. The special
train will be crowded with Suffragists,
will be decorated in yellow, the suffrage
color, and will be great campaign ad-
vertisement. The women are begin
ming early in their fight for votes in
1910, and their efforts are bound to
win results.

Reoklessness with Figures.

Statistics are forceful arguments
when rightly used, but figures, when
recklessly quoted, too often carry an
impression. In his effort to
make a point against existing indus
trial conditions Samuel Gompers has
on numerous occasions INDUCED in
some statements which will not bear
analysis. Instance his assertion that
there are now a million laborers in
the United States who want work, but
are out of employment.
Any accurate statement as to the
number out of employment at this or
any other time would be impossible,
but the population OF the country is
so large that a million or two million
appear to be the most convenient
number to handle. An analysis of the
last census figures, however, would in
dictate that a million of idle men In
the industries would mean a business
%stagnation almost unparalleled. Ac-
cording to the census there were 49,
00O, 900 people, men,, women n chill
dren, engaged in gainful occupations
in this country. OF this number TO-
434,219 were farmers and 5,691,746
professional men. leaving approx
mately Is, 200, 900 at that time en-
gagged in all other lines of gainful oc-
equations, including merchants. OF this
number there were 7~112,9S7 persons
engaged in the manufacturing, mining,
railroading, organized trades and
building Industries. Allowing for the
increase in population since then, TO-
OOO, OOe would be a liberal estimate
for the present, embracing all the in
dustries with which Mr.. Gompers, as
a leader OF labor, comes in contact or
takes into account in his estimate OF
what he considers labor. 1t must be
remembered, too, that the season of the
year precludes the employment OF
many In outdoor avocations in the
northern part of the country and that
there are always some people idle.
The best way 10 grasp the truth OF
falsity OF big figures is to reduce them
to the range Of personal vision. To
make good on Mr.. Gompers' 100000
voorhees, laborers it would be neces'
sary that at least one in ten OF all the
men engaged in the occupations
classed as labor should be out of EN-
pIoyment. This hardl! fits in with the
facts which are within the Observation

Departmental Efficiency.

The announcement from Washing
ton that President Taft has decided
to undertake the task Of making the
work Of the departments more eff
Client will be welcome new to every
one who has occasion to transact bust
ness with the general government. Mr..
Taft has undertaken a big job, but
Mr.. Taft is a large man, physically
and mentally. and has a record for
tackling big things. which gives prom
Use of results. That he can increase
the efficiency of the individual in the
service TO any great extent is not to be
expected, because the work is OF such
a routine character that employees
soon lose both initiative n energy.
For this reason any considerable in
crease in accomplishment must come
through the change in methods.
Red tape and duplication 80 grows
upon the government service from
time to time that the business man
who comes in contact with 1t is driven
to despair. He is kept chasing from
one department to another, with ex-
asperating delays at each stage, until
he is weary. All this involves a waste
of government money and in a meas

for which the departments we're Gre

three of the cabinet will be named to
take up the question of thoroughly re-
vising departmental methods so far as
1t can be done under existing laws,
and to recommend legislation needed
to carry the idea to full fruition.
The task which the administration
has set for itself is so large and in
volved that much time will be re-
quired to bring about appreciable re-
suits and much cavilling will doubt
less be INDUCED in in the meantime,
but Mr.. Taft is not the man to be
driven from his purpose or to become
discouraged.

Nothing Personal in 1t.

Two or three country papers are at
tempting to break the force of The
Bees protest against the appointment
Of State Senator Majors to a position
on the new Normal board by trying to
make out that its editor is inspired by
motives of personal enmity. There is
nothing personal whatever in The
Bees refusal TO gloss over such a pal
pable and deliberate violation by Gov
ernor shallenberger of the constitu-
tion which he took solemn oath to up
hold and defend.
The constitution of Nebraska says
in so many words that no member of
the legislature during the term for
which he shall have been elected shall
be appointed by the governor and sen
ate to n civil ONCE and endeavors to
clinch it by adding that any such ap-
pointment and any vote in conflrma-
ton shall be absolutely void. II this
appointment to the Normal board had
gone to any other member of the Leg
islature, or had the governor at
tempted to appoint any member Of the
Legislature to any other civil once,
The Bee would have entered remon-
STRANGE just as vigorously.
So far as State Senator Majors is
concerned his selection for this place
is simply incidental so far as The
Bees position is concerned. The edi-
tor of The Bee was offered an appoint
ment to the State Board of Education
by Governor Mickey at a time when
the governor was anxious to have
someone on the board to hold Mr..
Majors down, but the tender was de-
clined because there was ne disposi-
ton to have any personal quarrel with
Mr.. Majors. In the present case 1t is
not a question of the friendship or the
enmity of anyone, but a question
whether the plain mandate of the con-
%stitution shall be wilfully defied and a
standing reward held up for future
governors to trade members of the leg
islature into appointiye Offices.

Artificial Checks to Business.

Those who have been bending their
energies toward bringing about a COM
plete restoration of business activity
ever since the slump of 1907 will find
some comfort in the dilemma in which
the cement combine finds itself. In
the effort to keep up prices artihcially
the combine has been holding a large
portion Of the 1907 and 1908 produc-
ton until. IL Is stated on good author
ity. that il now has on hand 5000, 600
barrels of cement. This represents II
per cent of the product for the first
named year and 20 per cent OF last
years output. Whether the combine
holds or falls is said to depend solely
upon the action of western cement
makers, who hitherto nave steadfastly
refused to keep their products on the
market but have sold at ruling prices.
II is automatic that in times like the
present concessions rather than hold
ups are necessary TO iaduce capital TO
loosen up and ngage in new building
operations. Every day the combine

The news has gone out that the Pullman
Car company is preparing to make a gen
eral reduction In rates. putting into effect
the differentisl between upper and lower
berths long desired by the travelling pub
lie. II is stated that the new tariff law
will not 20 into effect before June 1.
II in truth the Pullman Car company
has at last needed popular demand for a
difference between upper and lower berths
in point Of price. IL has only recognized
an economic truth that should have been
established in the sleeping car service
years ago. There is no possible question
that the upper berth is a second-class ac-
commodation. It corresponds to the in
side stateroom on a steamship. or to the
small interior room in a hotel, for both
OF which lower rates are charged than
for first-class accommodations. A hotel
guest asked TO pay as much for a second
rate room as for a first-rate room would
Indignantly protest and would probably
change his hotel. The travelling public,
however. has no alternative and no APP
peal. 1t must pay the rate the company
demands or sit up all night.
Efforts have frequently been made to
secure federal legislation on this point,
but without success. The Interstate Com
merce commission has been unable, IL
willing. to compel the sleeping car compa-
MES to bring their tariff down to a rea-
sonable basis. the public complaint against
them being not merely of a lack Of dis
elimination between first and second-class
accommodations, but of general exorbi-
lance. Comparisons between services rem
dered on a sleeping car and In a hotel
show the former to be extravagantly ex-
cessive. The company has always main
tained in defense of the rates that its
patronage is necessarily limited, a plea
that the travelling public has been dis
posed to resist on the ground that IL the
rates were reasonable more business could
be done.
While they are about the matter of re-
adjusting the sleeping car tariff the Pull
mar officials might properly consider the
matter OF porters' wages. As the case
stands today the public pays the porter.
not indirectly through the price paid for
the accommodations, but directly in the
form of tips. The average porter, 1t is
said, makes three or four times as much

passengers. He depends upon the tips

that of the hotel chambermaid or porter
doing the necessary work of preparing
rooms for the accommodation of the
guests. The car porter should either be
thrown absolutely upon the generosity of
the passengers with a frank understand
ing that he is an unsalaried servant, or
he should be paid a sufficient wage TO
enable him to live without trusting to
the gratuities of the public.

ARMY n Full.

cants VIII He Recruited.

New York Times.
Fol the first time since the Spanish war
the United States army is recruited up 10
It's full strength in all OF its branches. and
In every recruiting station In New York,
Brooklyn and Jersey City there is promi-
nently displayed on the bulletin boards a
notice signed by the sdJutant general OF
the army ordering the recruiting officers
to confine themselves, until further orders,
TO the re-enlisting of honorably discharged
soldiers.
According TO some reports the increased
enlistment that has brought the army up
to it's full strength OF 1900 men, was due
to hard times. but this is denied, in part,
by the officers. They admit that many
men undoubtedly fell into the ranks as a
result OF financial depression, but say
that the majority are young men who
have gone into the army as a career, The
number of rejected applicants I'm the last
fifteen months indicates that this is true,
and that those who wanted to enlist be-
cause they could get nothing else to do
were for the most part refused by the Of
Ulcers in charge OF recruiting stations.

Impressive C~leRrness of Letter on
Packing House Rebates.
Pittsburg Dispatch.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
In warning the meat packers against the
prevalent practice of oyervaluing products
lost or injured In transit, Attorney General
Wlckershsm uses plain language. In short,
he tells them they must quit cheating.
Moreover, he recommends that the Inter
state Commerce commission shall prescribe
regulations for the investigation of all
claims for damages TO property In transit.
In the case in hand. the attorney general
found that Chicago packers had valued
products lost and damaged in transit much
higher than the products had been sold
for.
This is one form OF the rebate. The
favored shipper may be allowed any claims
he files, while the other shippers must
stand a rigid investigation and probably
a contest In the courts before they get
anything. In a large business this advan-
tage would be considerable. Mr.. Wick
ersham does not mention this aspect Of
the matter, but his recommendation 10 the
Interstate Commerce commission indicates
he had It In mind. And the public will

Department OF Justice. from his plain
speaking. The sort OF transactions he de-
seribes are properly characterized as cheat
