The court reminded Barber that he must have due regard for oth- CTS in the public highway and that he owed it to the public te do something else than blow the horn, expecting to see people run and teams draw In close to the curbing.

 Town Soiicitor Agard reminded the court that continuation meant in creased cost and in the event of ap peal and non-appearance of witnesses these costs would fall upon complain ant, especially if Barber should swear that he was not travelling at the rate of Is miles. as has been stated in this court Rather than take chance, as the matter is now beyond the coming session of the superior court. he would favor mol pros of the case on payment of costs at this time, and thus relieve the complainant of liability for costs.

Water Users Complaining

This Office has had numerous COM
plants the past week from property
owners about the water rates fixed by
the council and printed in last weeks
Echo. What is significant is that the
complaints are founded on statements
made by members Of the council about
the time the municipal water ques-
ton was under discussion and be-
fore the bonds were approved
By the voters. From statements
made it was generally belived that
rates would be lower under mu-
nicipal ownership, whereas they will
be higher because the rates appear to
be based on the rate made by the
Tumwater Light & Water Co., to
which will be added the special tax to
pay the principal and interest on the
bonds. II must not be forgotten, how
ever, that we will have better fire pro-
lection, a superior quality of water and
an adequate supply, to which some
Of the tax payers reply that we will also
have an interest bearing floating in
debtedness Of fifteen or twenty thou
sand dollars as a result Of purchasing
the distribution system Of the Tum
water Light & Water Co., and making
changes and additions to the original
plans.

Harping On the High Cost of Living

Books have been written, columns
upon columns have been penned for
the newspapers on the all-important
question of the high cost of living.
The question has been approached
from almost every conceivable angle.
Statesmen have made speeches in and
out Of congress about this pressing,
and, to most OF US, distressing, prob
lem, that, like Banquo's ghost, keeps
coming up. The other day when pay
ing for our light, water and phone SER
vice, three OF those modem conven-
fences which we have come to believe
are indispensable, it occurred to us
that twenty years ago few Of US knew
anything about phones, fewer still had
electric lights and all Of those who re-
sided in towns the size Of this drew
their water out of well. Now We pay
from 500 to $50 per year for lights,
about the same for phone service, and
as much or more for water. AS recent
" as ten years ago towns the size OF
this, $500, and even up to $500, had
an average Of one show per month the
year round. with perhaps circus, dur
ing the summer. Now every town
with 1000 population boasts of at least
one moving picture show, taking the
nimble nickles from young and old
seven nights in the week. The aver
age family pays at least $50 per year
to the movies-a hundred would per
haps come nearer the truth. The
modern conveniences, among which
the most important are light, water and
phone, with host Of lesser ones, have
come to be classed among the necessi-
ties, and much comfort and ease we
get out OF them, but do they not go far
to explain the high cost Of living3 OF
course there has been an increase in
wages and salaries, but this increase is
more than swallowed up in the increas-
ed cost OF the things we eat, drink and
wear. And yet-who wants to go back
to the tallow dip and the odd Oaken
Bucket" that hung in the well7

COMPLAINS ABOUT
THE HIGH TAX RATE
Correspondent Contends That Exorbitant
Taxes viii Retard Develop
ment

The following from a subscriber in
Houghton, Wash, will be read with
more than passing interest by many Of
our readers. We have had many in
quiries about the increase in taxes,
which have kept pace with the in
creased cost OF living and added to the
already heavy burdens Of many who
are trying to put by penny against
the day when they will cease to be
wage Gamers:
I have been an interested reader of
your bright and newsy paper for sew
eral years and heartily commend your
untiring efforts for the upbuilding and
development Of Leavenworth and sur
rounding country in the upper Wenat-
chez valley. There is at the present
time, however, a condition Of affairs in
Chelan county which in my judgment
demands immediate relief, if your beau
tiful valley shall continue to develop
and its settlers prosper as they should.
refer to the present unwauanted
and outrageous holdup by taxation as
our tax statements for 1912 for Chelan
county real estate attest. By talking
with my neighbors l find that the as
sessed valuations have been very
generally doubled over that Of the pre-
vious year, and this at time when
the apple growers can least afford a
doubling Of taxes, because Of extremely
low prices received for their 1912
crop. Now as to increased value of
these lands for 1912: It goes without
saying that they cannot actually dou-
Bile in value in any one year. Then
why is this double header" tax and
where is the justice thereof I own
20 acres unimproved land, being a
part Of the Sitter place, lying on the
county road between Leavenworth and
Peshastin, and my assessed valuation
has been exactly doubled each year
for three consecutive years, though the
land is still in its raw state, as I have
been unable, financially, to improve it,
thus far. Can any one contend that
this land has actually thribbled in value
in three years timer Under these
conditions how can we conscientiously
urge any one to invest in your midst ?
1t needs no prophet to toretell the ul-
innate result of excessive taxation for
We all know that these very conditions
drive away investors and those al
ready owning property become dis
couraged and want to sell out, even
at a sacrifice. What must be the
thoughts OF such men as Frank /.
Curtis, Wright and Day and scores OF
others who have each invested thou
sands of dollars in developing orchards
