The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1913-10-24

Arthur S. Cory, a Chehalis banker,
who was candidate for state treasurer
on the Progressive ticket, in the last
general election, has plan for making
Washington logged-of lands attractive
TO home seekers. His plan is to ex-
empt from taxes for five years all
logged-of lands on which certain
amount Of the acreage is cleared and
put into cultivation each year. It is
so exceedingly slow and expensive to
prepare this class OF land for the plow
that it is being summed By all home
seekers in quest Of land. How to
make this land attractive has been a
problem. There is so much Of it in
this state, and much OF it is the very
best kind Of land. Whether Mr.. Cor
ey's plan will make it sufficiently de-
sirable for men TO take hold Of and
make it productive, trial only will
demonstrate. Certain it is that we
would all like to see the logged-ofi
lands converted into farms as speedily
as possible.

According TO statement made By
former county assessor Osborne the
tax rate in Leagenzorth is two hun
bred per cent higher now than it was
FIVE years ago. This is statement
that viii stagger the property owners.
Our readers will quite naturally want
70 know where this increase comes in
and We must frankly state that the
largest item Of increase comes from
our city government. Mr.. Osborne
further states that the Leayenworth
rate is the highest percentage Of in
crease in the county. The state,
county and school district rate Is
higher but the city rate leads in the
increase. Chelan is the only district
in the county that lowered her rate.
The taxpayer should not forget that on
TOD of the taxes will come the paving
and street improvement assessment.
If these facts do not arouse interest in
the coming city election We have
missed our guess.

Ell Paso Tex, February ls.-Northern
Mexico today awaited assettlement of the
national dilemma. Gen. Antonio Rabago
seumander of the northern military zone,
notified of General Huerta's claim TO the
presidency, remains neutral, telling his
officers merely to keep order. Coy. Abram
Gonzales of Chihuahua is reported to have
resigned. He was one of the organizers
of the Madero revolution.
~ Chihuahua City and al Juarez the
Gtration was threatening. the volunteer
troops appeared displased with Huerta
in charge and openly threaten to join
the rebels. At Juarez an attempt failed
TO disarm the volunteers. Throughout the
north the irregular troops commanded by
many ex-insurrecto chiefs. who assisted
in the Madero revolution, nearly equal in
force the regulars. Should these join
with the rebels. the regulars would be
ortrrmbered. The regular troops. large

Mr.. BURNETT MADE
GAME FIGHT ON THE
Immigration BILL
Failure of Measure to Pass
Taft's Veto Attributed to
Absentees - Burnett
Is Disappointed

Washington, February I9.-eSpeeiaiD
Representative Burnett put up q game
fight today in his attempt to pass the
immigration bill over the veto of the
President. and felt disappointed in the
failure of the House to back up the
Senate with such action very keenly
Mr.. Burnett charges the failure Of
passing the measure over the objec-
tions of the President to friends OF
the bill who we're absent and whose
votes were thus lost
"Absentees defeated us" said Mr.
Burnett, "and the bad part of 1t is,
they were right here in Washington
and did not show enough interest to
appear on the floor and support the
bill Their constituents ought to, and
| believe will, remember this fact when
the next election rolls around. The
Alabama delegation" said Mr. Burnett
stood to me like men and every one
of them was there and voted
Mr. Burnett announced his intention
of continuing the fight and will brins
his bill up early In the SiNty-third
Congress.
Mr. Heflin closed the debate in fa-
vor of the bill with an eloquent appeal
to his colleagues on the republican side
who had so long stood for protection
to come forward now and help pro-
tect the American laborer and to pre-
vent the traffic in human beings prac-
ticed by the steamship companies who
were daily bringing hordes of foreign
ers to this country with absolutely
