The Extra Session of the Legislature

Is there sinister influence at work to
prevent the extra session OF the legisla-
ture? That the friends of Land Com
missioner Ross and Insurance Commits
sioner Schively would do all in their
power to prevent an extra session has
been known for some time, but it was
not expected that the governor would
consider such influence. The mere
fact that such influence was being ex-
erted makes the whole matter look
darker. Led by Machiavelli Ruth,
who opposed the appointment OF the
investigating committee on the ground
that there was nothing to investigate,
the forces of evil have caused the story
to be given to the press that the senate
would block Schively's impeachment.
With Nichols resigned and Schively
resting under indictment, and convict
ed at the bar of public opinion, after
being assured by Ruth and his clan
that there was nothing to investigate,
the voices of evil should not be heark-
ened to.
Nothing but fear of investigation
could possibly prompt Mr.. Ross to OPP
pose investigation of his office. He
is under suspicion and the more he op-
poses investigation Of his Office the
stronger grows the conviction that
something has been done that needs
investigation. 1t is those who fear in
vestigation who pirate about the cost to
the dear people" of special session.
An extra session would not cost as
much as was flched from the public by
Hamilton.
Let the extra session be called and
the investigation proceed.

The State Investigation

The Legislative committee may be
right in not submitting its report to
Governor Hay until it has finished an
inquiry into certain other state Offices
now under consideration; but it must
be obvious to members of the commit
tee that they cannot possibly 60 thoroly
into the affairs of the state within the
time allowed them under the resolution
which authorized these investigations.
Recent exposures of wrongdoing in
the public service make thoro inves-
tigation absolutely necessary. No state
officer, no board, no department should
be left under cloud. The people oil
Washington will not be satisfied with a
hasty and imperfect inquiry into any
Office. Nothing short of a searching
investigation will satisfy them.
Some very wicked things have been
brought to the surface in the recent
history of this state. If these expos
ures have not alarmed the people they
have at least made the people sus-
picious, and they want the light turned
on. The people have right to know
whether the public funds of the state
are or are not secure, and whether they
are being handled in the right way.
Practices exposed in the investiga-
ton of the insurance department and
the exposure of the fraudulent methods
of Ortis Hamilton have given rise to a
very just suspicion that the investi-
eating committee has not yet been able
to get at all the facts even in the case
of the insurance commissioner, and the
people want all the facts in his case,
and in the case OF every other officer
or board charged with the collection or
disbursement of public funds.
This is not a pleasant chapter in the
history Of this state; but no matter
what the climax may be, it must be
read to the ost-Intelligencer.

A Little Talk on Land Values

For the past few weeks there has
been considerable activity in land.
This is no doubt caused by the cheap
price-compued with land values lower
down the Wenatchee valley-at which
land can be had IN this vicinity. In
the vicinity of Wenatchee land rarely
changes hands at less than $1,000 per
acre, and very often at price very
much higher. Near Peshastin, three
miles down the valley from Leaven-
worth, land has changed hands this
spring at from $500 to $500 per acre.
1t must be remembered, however, that
with every acre of this land there is
water enough guaranteed to irrigate the
land. Now many people here say, and
some believe, that fruit can be raised
in this vicinity without irrigation. From
careful observation the writer has con-
cluded that fruit culture can be sue
cessfully carried on here with much
less water than in the lower portion of
the valley, but he does not believe that
fruit growing can be successfully and
profitably prosecuted entirely without
water for irrigation. In the first place
trees will not grow as rapidly and come
into bearing as early on such meager
supply of moisture as the natural con-
dition Of the soil will supply. To con-
vince yourself Of the truth of this COM
pare the growth Of the trees in the
Cascade Orchards, where the water sup
ply has been abundant, with trees set
out in the same vicinity, at the same
time where no water is supplied
and you will note that the trees
in the Orchards have made fully one
third more growth in the same length
OF time. Now these trees will not only
come into bearing from one to two
years earlier, but on account of the
larger fruit-bearing surface will have
from one-third to one-half more fruit.
Then, too, when the tree is loaded
with fruit, from midsummer on till fall,
if there should happen to be no rain
and rain in this vicinity, as all those
who have lived here four or five years
know, is exceedingly rare-if there is
no water to irrigate the fruit-laden trees
your fruit will be dwarfed. That means
an inferior grade of apples and much

The Spokane Rate Fight

The great rate fight made by the
Spokane jobbers against the exorbitant
rates charged by the transcontinental
railroads, which attracted the attention
of not only the people of the western
states, but the entire country, and
which was thought to have been settled
by the decision of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in its decision rem
dered few months ago, is still very
live question. Two weeks ago the
railroad companies submitted a new
rate, ostensibly to comply with the de-
cision of the commission, but the rate
does not satisfy the jobbers of Spokane,
Salt Lake and other distributing cities
between Denver and the west coast.
1t is scarcely necessary to call atten-
ton to what gave rise to the fight.
The long established custom of the
railroads to charge more, considerable
more, for hauling freight from New
York or Chicago to Spokane or any
other point not located on the Pacific
Coast or Puget Sound, tho the haul is
from five hundred to a thousand miles
shorter, has always been considered
wrong in principle by everyone not
directly benefited, as are the jobbers
OF San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and
Tocoma. How anyone can escape the
Justice OF the contention that the rate
should be practically based on the ser
vice rendered, is difficult OF under
standing by the ordinary layman. In
no other relation OF modern life is this
rule so entirely out Of proportion, as in
railroad freight rates. Undoubtedly
there are instances in which compensa-
ton is not measured by the service
rendered with that exactness which the
just man would prefer, but at least an
approximate proportion is maintained.
Freight rates, however, are so mon
strously out of proportion to what is
just that the marvel is that the people
have stood the railroad exactions so
long. What storm of protest would
follow if the government followed the
rule Of the railroads in the delivery Of
our mail, and made a special rate to
the cities located on the coast because
there was what is called water compe-
tition. What would be said of the
man who wanted more for six hours
labor than for ten; for the merchant
who asked more for six yards Of calico
than ten; for the expressman who asked
more for hauling your trunk one mile
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1909-05-28

than three2 You would say he was not
only crazy but unfair, and you would
not stand it, but look up his competi-
tor. With railroad competition actually
eliminated the shipper can not do that.
We know of some of the arguments
made by the railroads in justification of
their course, but we submit they are
not founded on reason or justice.
Measurably, at least, the freight rates
should be based on the length of haul.
We are not sure but that a rate fixed
strictly on a mileage basis, with entire
disregard of the location Of the delivery
point, is not the best. 1t would at
least be just.
The Spokane jobbers say, in the
language OF Paul Jones, they have just
begun to fight. And we earnestly hope
they will win out. Their contention is
founded on the solid rock of right and
Justice.
