The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1911-07-28

I asked no more. I fancied that my
nurse did not wish to be questioned.
Once convalescent. | began to mend
rapidly. Organ was sent for TO look
after me, but the princess did not
come. and Jasar only seldom. When
the priest did come he would tell me
little of what was going on Nor was
Organ much more communicative.
Faith, they've been crowding a lot
Of history into a few days" he said.
But see here, Sir Verrall. | am under
oath to answer no questions. | should
not have been allowed to come at all
without giving the oath. There have
been occasions when ! haven't kept
this kind of bargains. but I'm going
to keep this one"
"Who made you take an oathT
"Her highness."
''The princess?" l said in astonish-
ment. Gam | her prisoner"
"Wen. I don't rightly know whose
prisoner you are or why you're being
kept here. but her highness sent for
me and gave me my instructions. She
was mighty pleasant, too. Verrall-said
nice things about me and let slip q
good many promises for the future.
She may forget them. Of course, but
I'm not going to give her a chance
of Withdrawing them anyway. I'm go
ing TO act square with her"
l laughed and then asked after
pause:
did she say anything of meF"
"You were mentioned as my master,
that was all No, you were not a prom
inent feature of our conversation"
"And how long is this to last?"
asked, somewhat angrily. "a long Ill
ness makes q man irritable"
You'll oblige me by asking no ques
tons. I'm on oath to a lady not to
answer them"
Jasar was my only hope, and he kept
out of my way. However he came
one morning and was not in hurry.
He expressed himself pleased at my
appearance and said he had come to
have a long talk with me.
And will, l hope, answer my ques
tons"
Some of them, doubtless. but all
ah, Sir Verrall, that might not be
wise Stay; we will have a quiet talk"
He spoke to Organ and the nurse,
who left US at once
"Who is my nurse?' | asked
Zone of the ladies attending upon
the princess. You are growing well
again, so II is fair to say that her
highness made a good choice 1t was
suggested that Lady Aldrida should
be sent to nurse you. but thele were
circumstances which might have made
the lady an awkward nurse. No, !
cannot tell you what the circumstances
were"
"Why am l a prisoner here? Has
Vasca headed a revolution and been
successful?'
Had he done so you would have
been no longer even a prisoner But
come; | will save your questionings
and tell you what can. You perhaps
remember what the man who attacked
you said when he was dyingT'
THAT he should be free if he killed
me-"
81 judged that was what he meant"
said Jasar Il tried to get him to tell
more. but he died too quickly. He
must have been deceived, for freedom
had already been granted to all the
prisoners without conditions. There
fore, Sir Verrall, an enemy has en-
deavored to take your life by the hand
of this prisoner"
"And the enemy?' | asked.
1.-THE man died before he could
speak," Jasar answered.
But how did he pass the guards at
the head of the staircase"

1t is reported that the ice on the
river is four inches thick. If this is
true no fear need be experienced as
to its safety. However it is not in
immediate danger of being worn out

of inches Of snow. There are those
around town who feel that the city
would be justified in clearing afew

will find people who contend that

Down A fine Big Back

E. D. Lyman went north to kill a
deer and he has succeeded.

coveted animal had been laid low.
The message was brief but to the
point. Shot fine buck, was about
all there was to it. but that was
enough. Mr.. LYMAN will remain in
the woods during the remainder Of
his vacation. as spectator 50 far as
deer are concerned henceforth under

Falls people will have a chance to
see and examine the buck killed by

PROGRFSSIvFS
TO PLAN FIGHT
Gathering Will Be Held at Wa
basso on December IL Ac-
cording to Call
FAVOR THE STATE PLATFORM.
Principles of the County Or
ganization Similar to those
Of State

Progressive Republicans of this
county are to hold meeting at Wa
basso on December IL.
At least call has been issued by
leading progressives of this city for
such meeting and if the response
is as encouraging as those back Of
the move have reason to think it will
be. meeting will be held at the
time and place signified.
Local Proeressives Get Together
There was gathering of few OF
the progressives of this city last
week and the situation was canvass
ed. There were some at the meet
ing who favored making the start of
county organization right there.
Others opposed this thinking that it
would be better to secure more
representative gathering before TAX
ing any decided action.
The call sent out is accompanied
by copy of the state platform a.
dopted by the state Progressive
League and it is supposed from this
that the county organization will
Endorse the state position.
Not A La Toilette Move.
One or two Of the leaders have
declared that the county organi-
zatlon is not sought for the purpose
Of advancing candidacy, state or
national, of any man. There was
some disposition to assume that it
would be La Toilette move but this
strongly denied by those in posi-
ton to know.
PRINCIPLES and not men are to be
advocated. This does not mean
that the league will not favor La
Toilette when the time comes but it
seems likely it will not be merged
with the La Toilette league of the
state at present.

EXTRA SESSION
TALK IS USELESS
Governor Eberhart Says Le9is-
lature will not be Convened
This Winter
WAITING FOR THE RATE DECISION.
If Sanborn Ruling is Upheld
He May Act-Talks ,of
Reapportionment.

There will be no extra session Of
the Legislature convened by Cover
nor A. O. Eberhart.
This statement was made to The
Gazette last Thursday by the COVER
nor. unqualifiedly, save that the final
decision of the Sanborn case in the
United States Supreme Court might
warrant the call Of an extra session
to deal with the railroad taxation
question.
No Demand From Public
The governor insists that he has
received no demands from the peo-
pie for an extra session. either in the
form of personal or written requests.
and that in view Of this fact, COUP
led with others, he does not feel
justified in using the public funds to
defray the expenses of an extra ses-
sion.
Will Do What He Thinks. Right
In this matter | am determined
to do what / consider right" he says.
Il know that by going up and down
the state advocating an extra session
for the purpose of increasing the
railroad taxes | might gain personal
popularity, but should do so at the
expense of my conscientious belief
of what is right and just. That |
will not do.
| Thinks Tax Should Be Increased
In nv message to the legislature
last winter advocated an increase
| in the railroad taxes to the point Of
making them pay tax as large as
that levied upon other classes Of
property, whether the same is own
ed by individuals or corporations.
The State Tax Commission can COM
pute this amount, basing the same
upon the valuation of the railroads
made by the Railroad and Warehouse
Commission and the increase should
be made in proportion to what other
property is paying.
People Would Pay 1t
IF I were to call an extra session
now and the legislature increased
the tax to 5 per cent that would
mean an additional million dollars,
but who would pay it? Under the
Sanborn ruling it is evident that the
roads could, if they chose, raise the
rates correspondingly and the tax
would be paid indirectly by the pub
lie. Would | be justified in impos-
ing this additional burden upon the
people?
i. No Reapportionment Hope
/ AS to reapportionment. can see
nothing to hope for from an extra
session. No one believes the pres
ent senator's have changed their at
titude on this question and there
would be nothing gained by passing
in an extra session law operative in
1914. The attorney general has
ruled that any session of the legisla-
, ture can reapportion, and we can
not go back Of that opinion. There.
fore. the friends of reapDortionment
should unite their efforts to pass the
reapportionment bill at the regular
session of 1918.
, There is but one side to this
J question Of an extra. session and JUS
tice to the people and to my own
sense of what is right compells me
to refuse to call an extra session at
least until the rate case is finally de-
cided."

GOV. HAWLEY
ISSUESSTATEMENT
EXPLAINS HIS POSITION IN RE
GARD TO ENFORCING THE
FULL CASH VALUATION
Executive VIII Soon Travel over the
State and Talk Directly TO Citi-
Gems on the Matter Of the Taxa
tion.

Following an extended campaign Of
misrepresentation on the part OF a
biased coterie of newspapers. which
have recklessly twisted conditions for
purely political motives. Governor
Hawley today issued an open state
ment to the people of Idaho regard
ing the stand he has taken in enforc-
ing the law requiring that property
shall be assessed at its full cash val
uation
Despairing Of getting a square deal
from these political organs, and real
izing that the gates Of fair exposition
of his views have been closed by
newspapers which have abandoned
the pretense Of fairness to a political
opponent. Governor Hawley has adj
addressed the people through the Ida
no Evening Journal.
But he viii soon travel over the
state and will talk to the people face
to face.
Following is his statement:
To the People Of the State of Idaho.
The course Of the Idaho Dlily
Statesman and the Evening Capital
News in the matter Of assessment OF
property at its real value continues TO
be an invitation to the assessors of
the state to disregard their official
duties, and the absurd misrepresen-
tations continually repeated in these
newspapers possibly demand some
answer.
That the plan Of assessing at low
value, which necessarily entails a
high tax rate. is against the best in.
terests Of the state. is not denied
