Railway Accidents

last Sunday gives m It's magazine section an amazing record of fatalities of employees of Ameri- can railroads which, it is said if they continue to increase in the next twenty years as they have in the twenty years just passed will result in tke maiming or death of more than 22,000,000 men.
 The astounding announcement is made that one man is injured every six minutes and one killed every two hours by railway acci. dents. The article continueSi
 As a matter of fact, the num- Der of killed and injured employ es of our great railroad systems Will be far greater in the next 20 years than 1t has been in the 20 past.
 If the number of railway em- ployeS in the United States were to remain constant for 15 years, 100000 men, at the present mortality rate, will be killed or injured, according to an estimate now made by John M Gitterman.
 But the number, of course, will greatly increase, he says. Tt is therefore, probably no ex- aggeration to say that, unless the railroads radically improve their present methods of safe. guarding their employees lives, they will either kill or injure, within the next 15 years, not far from 2,OOO,000 men.
 And in these stupendouS fig ureS women and children depen- dent upon the men who are to be be killed and injured by the inc. vitable action of the railroad jug gernaut in the next 20 years are not estimated.
 It should be borne strongly in mind that these figures do ot comprehend the passengc who have suffered in railroad W 70 ks. Only the employees killed IL jured are taken into cOrSj lcra- tion.
 That the majority of thes e casualties are not mere accidents goes without saying and it is evi- dent that there is gross neg li- gence on the part of the employ = ees themselves and again it may be due to bad management, and it may be due to the lack of proper equipment in road build ing. In either instance it is neg ligence and it is a disgrace to our civilization that we as opera tors of railroads, think more of big dividends than we do of hu- man life.
 A prominent railroad attorney recently made the statemen that in more than 90 per cent of the personal injury cases the companies are liable. After hay- ing the opportunity he has of Investigating such cases this statement on his part must necessarily carry some weight with it.
 It is urged by some that legls, lation is the thing needed most. This is a question that involves a great deal and it is difficult to say whether or not it is a question of Legislation or a question for the court or the com bined efforts of them both. One thing is very evident and that is we need a change for the better some how.

out as Wall Street would have us
believe. Neither do his doctrines now
appear so revolutionary.
AS one writer has pointed out, his
precepts embody little outside of the
good old notices of the Spencerian
copy book: honesty is the best policy;
be good and you will be happy; a
stitch in time saves nine; it never
rains but it pours; all is not gold
that glitters; he who would free him
self must strike the first blow; easy
come and easy go. All that he did
was to clothe these principles with
force and fire and earnestness and
emphasis, so that their truth became
vital to the existing order of things.
Then he modernized his program
with some ideas of his own on con-
servation, the direct primary, wealth
acquired dishonesty and corruption 1 n
politics. Most OF these precepts have
been advocated by so conservative a
man as Governor Charles e. Hughes
If a man is to be counted out of par
ricipation in public affairs for the So
called Rooseveltian doctrines, we may
well expect that darkness of the Mid
die Ages is about to descend upon us
and eclipse our modern civilization
But we do not anticipate either me-
dieval terrors or Rooseveltian deca1-
ence.

WANT DRAINAGE DISTRICT.
Mckee Residents Vote in Favor of
Big Scheme.

Mckee residents once again on Sat-
urday declared themselves to be in
favor of the establishment there of a
drainage district The vote was 81 tn
13. The second election was held be-
cause the first election, which also
gave a majority in favor of the dis
trict, was illegal. That first election
was advertised to be held at the
Champoux store at certain location
but the day preceding the election
the store was moved and the second
ballot became necessary, the vote be-
ing at Mckee City. The result was
as given above and legalizes the
move in a manner that enables the
subject to be properly taken before
the county commissioners.

TRAIN DISPATCHINC
DISTRICT CHANGED
North Yakima Will be One Ter.
minus of New Territory Soon
to be Created.

North Yakima is to become the
terminus of a dispatching district of
the Northern Pacific railroad. This
is a change which will take effect
probably within a few days Trains
over the railroad will be dispatched
from Pasco to North Yakima and will
then be taken under the control of a
dspatching office at Ellensburg
which will carry them from North
Yakima to Easton. This means that
the dispatching office at Pasco will
handle the reins between Cheney and
North Yakima and the Ellensburg
office will handle them between
North Yakima and Easton. This
does not mean an increase of the
number of workers in the Northern
Pacific office here but means an addi-
ton to the work of the present tele-
graphers. 1t means also, it is pre-
sumed, a nearer approach of the
time when the telephone method of
dispatching trains will be extended
to this section of the country and
the Geographic method done away
with. The telephone is not largely
used in the western portions of the
railroad systems but its use is being
extended.

out of his meagre salary during the
last ten years. This despite the in
crease in the cost of living and the
demands of a growing family. SO we
must give him credit for being past
master of the art of frugality.
But the story of the case is pathetic,
nevertheless. The professor says that
he and his wife determined to save
money enough to purchase home.
They selected the lot and planned the
house. They made this ambition their
guiding star of hope to furnish them
inspiration for their long struggle.
Sometimes they spread a picnic dinner
on the little plot of ground to make
the picture seem the more real During
the long winter evenings they planned
and replanned the house over and
over again. Ground and house ac-
cording to first estimates would cost
about $4,000.
A few months ago the last dollar
to complete the scheme was safely de-
posted in the bank and realization
of the dream seemed very near To
their dismay they discovered that real
estate values had increased enormous
ly, disappointment which was en-
Uttered the more when the additional
discovery was made that the price Of
building materials and labor had more
than kept pace with the increase i'm
real estate values so that instead of
being able to carry out their original
plans at cost of $4,000, they must
pay nearly $500.
Really the accomplishment was
wonderful despite the disappointment
suffered. The professor declares that
he made a mistake in not investing
in real estate instead of farm mort
cages, which being taxable, cut down
the revenue from his investment, with
out allowing him any corresponding
opportunity to recoup through ia
creased valuations as would have
been true if he had purchased realty.
College professors are accused of
being dreamers and impra ctical theor-
lists, but this one has furnished an
example of financiering and self con-
troll which in these days, is extremely
rare. Little danger, indeed, is there
that this nation will go on the rocks
so long as it has such reserve strength
as is here manifest.

TAXATION UPHEAVAL COMING.

Some day there will be another av-
full demonstration of insurgency. The
last one grew out of the injustices i'll
cident to the present tariff schedules
which permit the wealthy industries
of the country to shift the burden o.
taxation to the shoulders of the poor.
The tariff being in the nature of an
indirect tax, was not easily discovered
in the guise of a burden. 1t may be
imagined that revision, schedule by
schedule, will correct the evil. and
so it will to a large extent. But all
of the inequalities of our present sys-
tenn of taxation are not concerned with
the tariff.
Now that the people are alive to
the tariff injustices, they will go fur
Their, and the property tax may come
in for a round of criticism. AS the
situation exists, the richer a man gets
the more opportunities he has for
lodging his taxes, the personal prop
erty tax being most easily evaded. The
poor make up the deficit on their cot
tages and little homes which cannot
be hidden from the assessors gaze.
Other civilized nations have discard
ed this tax as being no longer ade-
quate. The United States retains
it, probably because the subsidized
legislators whose presence has graced
the United States senate for so many
years have not had much time to dc
great deal of legislating for the
people. But sooner or later the up.
heaval will come and big business
will have another attack of hysteria
Just what sort of a tax will be evolved
to meet the situation is not settled
but something tells us that that mar
will pay the most taxes who is most
able to do so. And he won't be al
lowed to shift or evade or dodge OF
swear falsely either.

Such is the rather startling question

ed because it questions the most deep
