DR.. HOxsey Will Go Fast

DR.. Hoxsey expects to leave about
the fourth OF next month for St. Louis,
Mo-, to be absent several months. 1t
was in the year 1886 that the doctor
left St. Louis, where he received his
license to practice medicine, and he is
now going back for the first time in
% years. He naturally expects to
meet some OF his old chums, but his
primary object will be to consult a
specialist about his neck, which was
injured in an automobile accident sew
eral monies ago. 1t was first thought
after the accident, when the Barclay
auto left the grade on the Lake We
natchee road, that DR.. Hoxsey was one
of the lucky passengers and escaped
with only slight bruises, but since that
time his neck, which was undoubtedly
badly sprained, has not improved, but
if anything has grown worse. Even
now the Doctor is unable to-turn his
head on his shoulders and when the
occasion requires is compelled to turn
his whole body. 1t is hoped that on
his return from the east his trouble will
have been cured.

State Forester Makes Report

Approximately 100000 acres Of
lands were burned over dur
ing the past summer, State Forester E.
w. Ferris announces. after compiling
statistics from some 10000 burning
permits issued by his deputies. OF
this total 5000 acres consist of land
adapted to cultivation. The clearing
OF this area means that it will be made
the means of supporting thousands OF
persons. The remaining 1000
acres of land burned over is reported
as being suitable for reforestation.
Reports OF deputies to the state for
ester show that although last summer
was one OF the driest seasons in the
history OF the Pacific Northwest, the
fires were kept in close check, being
confined in all but few instances to
logged off land. The only reports OF
destruction of green timber in any
quantity were in fires in Clallam and
Pend Oreille counties.

THE ECONOMIC WELFARE
OF THE STATE is AT STAKE
A Straight Talk on the Effects of PrOhi-
bitiOn-WCuid Mean Higher
Taxation

Dangerous economic effects that
would come to the state of Washing
ton should initiative measure No. 3,
the prohibition bill, be passed were
pointed out TO the real estate men in
Tacoma last week at their banquet at
the commercial club by Ellis Lewis
Garretson. He said:
Laws are being proposed in the
state OF Washington which affect the
commerce and the individuals of the
state alike. To me it is refreshing to
note the fact that two Of our judges
OF the supreme court had the courage
to put the seal of disapproval on part
Of these initiative measures Judge.
Chadwick and Judge Gose are surely
entitled to niche in the hall of fame
for this act alone
The trainers of one of these re-
form measers say: This entire act
shall be deemed an exercise of the po-
lice powers Of the state, for the protec-
ton Of the economic welfare, health,
peace and morals of the people.
Before taking up the question of
the economic welfare" | want to tell
you a little story which illustrates my
opinion OF the moral aspect OF this bill
A sailor was unfortunate enough to be
wrecked near the coast of one Of the
cannibal islands. After swimming
ashore and lodging around under the
brush for several days, not making
himself known to the natives for fear
he might furnish a meal instead of re-
ceiving one, his hunger finally drove
him to despair and he found his way
toward a light which he observed in
the distance. Before giving himself
up to what he supposed We're the can
nibal inhabitants OF the island he knelt
down to dedicate his soul to the Lord
He had hardly finished his prayer when
he heard the exclamation from the
clefts of the adjacent rocks: Who in
in the devil trumped my ace7' He
raised his eyes to heaven and said,
Thank God, am among Christians
Il have do doubt that if this prohi-
bition law is passed in Washington
those who vote for it will fervently
thank God that they live in prohibi-
ton state, where each man and each
woman is permitted to have two quarts
of whiskey and a dozen quarts of beer
every 20 days, and if, perchance, that
is not enough to satisfy the appetive,
they can call on their next door neigh
Dor to help.
Being a total abstainer myself I
cannot say exactly how drunk person
may get on the quantity Of liquor al
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1914-10-16

lowed by the proposed Washington
prohibition bill, but I judge that, if
properly mixed, fairly good jag might
be acquired.
II this so-called prohibition measure
should go into effect there will be lat
store rooms on the prinpal streets Of
Tacoma made vacant inside of 80 days
after November D; in the city of Sc
attic there will be 3l5 vacant build
ings and in the city of Spokane 1873.
And these represent the buildings at
present occupied only by saloons to
say nothing of the many other build
ings which will be made vacant as the
result Of the passage OF this bill.
There are many vacant buildings IN
these cities now, which is a guarantee
that vacant buildings created b. this
proposed law will remain vacant for
many years. The city of Tacoma will
lose $147,0O0 annually from license
revenue; the city of Seattle $315,000,
and the city of Spokane $4,000;
while the state Of Washington, includ-
ing counties and cities, will lose ST.
329, 900, to say nothing Of the amount
lost as the result OF the loss in value
of taxable properties. All of these
amounts will have to be made up by
increased taxation if the state and the
cities continue their era OF advance
ment.
Very likely what is true here in
Pierce county is true throughout the
state. After every effort has been
made to cut down appropriations, we
have Just been advised that tax for this
year will be cents, in other works 81
on the hundred or $40 on the thousand.
This is enough to stagger any property
owner and frighten away prospective
investors. If you add to this pros
pective deficit which will follow the
enactment of this prohibition law, it
will come mighty close to putting the
real estate dealer out of business.
If we pass this prohibition law the
people of this state will not recover
from the disaster in the next 10 years.
Sane men who canvass the expert
ence of other-states where this expert
ment has been tested will never vote
for initiative measure No. 8.
Men who know the serious results
of business depressions do not idly
court them. Every fact and every
figure OF all the states that have tried
emotional panaceas for fancied evils and
Ills bear out my contention tnat not
single good thing has ever resulted
from the adoption Of prohibition. In
the state Of Washington it would de-
stroy pay roll of over So, 100000 an
nually, throw more than 5000 men
out Of employment, destroy immense
realty and industrial values, without
even pretending to allsy the the ship
ping in and consumption Of liquor.
Surely no man or woman in his or her
right mind can be for such a measure"
