corn has many kernels. Each kernel

WHY THE DOLLAR IS IDLE
Mr.. Shaw Tells How 1t Can Be Got Into
Circulation Again

To the Voter: The dollar partakes
of the characteristics of its possessor.
1t ventures in wherever and whenever
it believes it can enter and be en-
ployed at a profit; works day and night
where there is hope OF reward for the
effort it makes and the chances it takes;
is courageous when assured of security
and protection. When it works, the
wheels Of industry revolve, develop
ment progresses, railroads extend, in
vestors purchase and speculate, saw
ings increase, banks make loans in aid
of business, farmers increase their
acreage, public Improvements are
made, labor employed handed full
pay envelope with which to purchase
necessities, comforts, conveniences
and enjoy some Of the luxurieS of life.
This is absolute confidence of each
class in the honesty and integrity Of
the other. Republican Prosperity.
On the other hand when there is
reasonable apprehension that if invested
its loss or any part thereof is probable
or possible, it is timid, conservative,
pessirnistic; industry ceases, progress
retards, railroads suspend building, in
vestors stop buying, banks are ex-
tremely conservative about making
loans, business houses reduce their
stocks to actual necessities, their force
OF employees, their wages, labor is un-
employed, savings depleted, the people
wonder what is the matter with bust
ness conditions.
What the country needs right now is
men in Legislative halls big enough,
broad enough and patriotic enough to
unselfshly and without hope OF popular
approval of some particular class or
interest, propose and vote in favor Of
legislation that may be proposed to
restore the present depression to the
country's normal condition.
Do not deceive yourself into the be-
lief that the country is progressing by
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1914-09-04

a class of so-called proposed progress
sive legislation that intimidates the
manufacturer, farmer, banker, specu-
lator, small and large investor, and re-
suits in the large and small investor
and capitalist holding on to his dollar.
We must have Legislation that will
induce the idle dollar to start the
wheels of industry, seek new fields for
development, build new railroads, Gre
ate new enterprises, develope our nat
ural resources, open additional avenues
for the employment of the laboring
masses, a sale for the product Of the
farmer and restore confidence.

Much Feeling Against Legislative League

A big protest has gone up through
out the state against the action of the
self-appointed joint Legislative league,
which is once again engaged in its BIZ
ennial practice Of attempting to CO.
cree candidates for the state legisla
ture by demanding that they sign a
pledge to vote for all measures advo-
Gated by the league. The league this
year is going further by demanding
that the candidates enter into a writ
ten agreement not only to support the
leagues measures but not to favor any
amendments to these measures unless
said amendments meet with the full
approval OF the league. Candidates
for the Legislature are thus prohibited
from exercising any judgment as to
the merits of these measures or the
proposed amendments. Legislative
candidates are inc ensed at the action
Of the league and are returning the
pledges to the league unsigned. One
protest which has been made against
the action of the league declares
among other things:
No candidate possessing the de-
gree of self.respect which we expect
from our Legislators would stoop to the
signing of the pledge whereby he sells
his privilege and duty to reason on
any given piece of legislation. The
Joint Legislative League, conceived
in selfish desire and employing coer-
Give methods degrading to our poll
tics, merits the scorn and denuncia-
ton of every true citizen"

After final hearing given all in
terested parties, to afford an oppor-
tunity to point out any injustices Oh
inequalities, the public service COM
mission this week issued final order,
effective in 20 days, reducing freight
rates on coal from Roslyn to all other
points in the state. Since the North
ern Pacific railroad refused to COM
ply with the commissions tentative
order to prepare a new schedule Of
rates, the commission put in effect a
complete tariff prepared throughout by
its own expert, o. o. Calderhead.
The reduced rates will make it pos
sible to ship the product of the Ros-
Ign mines to all parts of the state, al
fording competition, while the reduc-
ton in the freight will be followed, il
is believed, by corresponding reduc-
tions in the price of coal.

]. Roy Owens, candidate for the re-
public nomination as representative in
the state Legislature from the 56th dis
trict, is a loyal citizen and heavy tax
payer of Chelan county.
His entire investments in the state
of Washington are in orchard lands in
Chelan county and his interests are
identical with those Of other productive
tax payers in the county.
In statement just issued Mr.. Owens
says: Il stand unpledged to any men
or set of men on any proposition or
Legislative scheme whatsoever. I am
for fewer laws and lower taxes. My
own share of the public tax burden last
year ran close to $1,000. Like all
other ranchers and property owners L
feel that taxes are too high and that
the burden should be made lighter.
If elected I will use my best en-
deavors to reduce the volume of legis-
lation and to tighten the tax load which
is now felt generally over the state.
I am opposed to new boards, new
offices, unnecessary laws and unneces-
sary appropriations"
This newspaper feels that Chelan
county is 70 be congratulated when
young men of Mr.. Owens exceptional
qualities will offer themselves for such
services as are required in intelligent
and beneficial legislation.
Mr.. Owens has never been candi-
date for public Office before and con-
has no old political debts to
pay. He is an energetic young man
and this district would do we'll to send
him to the Legislature where he may
have the opportunity to carry out his
ideas Of tax reductions. 35-t1

How Kansas Cities Compare With Mu-
inequalities Which are Wet

The Salina, Kansas, Union Of Aug
ust 10 says:
City Clerk Banker has just COM
piled and printed the first annual re-
port of the city Of Salina.
There were 400 arrests by the
police department, and of these $40
were convicted. OF the 402 arrested
1876 were pulled for being drunk.
This might be considered an unusual
number of DRINKS in a dry town and
state"
1t is. Salina had less than 10000
inhabitants in the last census, but u.s.
ing 10000 as the basis this is 1876
DRINKS per thousand. That is larger
ratio than the wet city of Baltimore
with 9.8; Newark, N. j., with So;
New York City with SIS; Cleveland,
Ohio. with DC; Milwaukee, Wis.,, with
83; Denver, COL, with 1875; and is
on a par with the drunk arrests in
Wichita, Kansas, where the ratio was
90; with Pittsburg, Kansas, with 15.5
and Topeka with 1916.
The Anti Saloon League following
their usual tactics will say these are
faxed figures. They are not. The
total arrests were taken from the an
nual police reports for 1913 Of the
cities quoted, and the populations from
which the ratios were obtained, from
the 1910 census. These are both
competent and unprejudiced author
tiles.
