Something for leavenwOrth People to
Think About

The Echo takes the liberty to in
vite attention to a matter in which
every citizen is interested. 1t involves
the improvement OF the gulch crossing
between the business part OF the town
and that portion which is sometimes
referred to as mill town, where the
Lamb Davis mill is located. Some
time since, to effect this improvement.
which everyone will admit is neces-
sary, the council created an improve
ment district and instructed Engineer
Barnum to estimate the cost OF build
ing a cement culvert and filling the
gulch where now is bridge which
needs replacing. He estimated the
cost OF the culvert and grading down
the hill on the west side of the gulch
to be about $500. Now, unless two
thousand dollars more is spent in grad
ing and improving the road that leads
from the gulch crossing by way OF the
river to Commercial street, travel will
have to go from the gulch crossing to
Front street in order to get to the bus
mess part of town, Here is where our
contention comes in. Would it not
be better to abandon the proposed
culvert and grade on Commercial street
and invest the $500 in building
permanent crossing on front street.
The cost would come pretty high but
would have to be born largely by the
railroad company. The Lamb Davis
Lumber Co., thru its manager, Mr..
Gardner, has offered to bear ten per
cent of the cost, tho it has no abuting
property that would be subject to as
sessment. The improvement would
involve building a retaining wall along
the railroad comRany's right OF way
and another wall Oh the lower side OF
the roadway, culvert over the gulch
and then raising the grade from five to
fifteen feet, where the old foot bridge
now stands. The city owns only sew
enteen feet for street purposes over
the gulch, and it would be necessary
10 acquire enough land from private
owners to make roadway thirty feet
vice. We have reason to believe this
could be done without cost to the
city. The improvement should also
include subway under the railroad
tracks, which Mr.. Barnum says is per
lectly feasible and which everyone
knows is very much needed. The
railroad company would not oppose
this improvement because its necessity
is obvious and the subway would per
nit the closing up Of one or two grade
crossings right in the center Of the
railroad company's yards. While this
improvement would necessarily be
somewhat expensive it would be per
manent. There would be no money
lost in makeshift Improvements, the
gulch crossing would be so much bet
ter and the entire improvement is so
necessary, and in any event will some
day have to be made, that it is worth
careful thought and consideration.

PROGRFSSIVES FIRM ON TARIFF

PROGRESSIVES FIRM ON TARIFF
The attitude Of the Progressive party
on the tariff is perfectly expressed in
the Progressive platform adopted at
Chicago on August 7, 1912, which
reads as follows:
We believe in protective tariff
which shall equalize conditions Of com
petition between the United States and
foreign countries, both for the farmer
and the manufacturer and which shall
maintain for labor an adequate stand
ard OF living.
Republican tariffs used to be written
quite frankly by their benefciaries, by
men who used to scruple to assert their
private demands, regardless of the gen
eral welfare. How much they con-
tributed' to republican campaign funds
in exchange for the privilege of taking
what they personally wanted in the
matter Of protection, rather than what
their business needed, is a pertinent
inquiry.
Prior to the election of Taft in 1908
the people demanded a downward re-
vision OF the tariff. The republican
party promised the revision. The
Taft administration, under the leader
ship of Payne and Aldrich, miserably
failed in redeeming its promise to the
American people, and because of his
earnest protest read the great Dolliver
out of the republican party.
The last democratic platform, upon
which Wilson was elected president,
declared the imposition Of tariff to be
illegal and unconstitutional, except Tor
the purpose of revenue. 1t is there
fore apparent that nothing can be ex-
pected from the democrats in the way
OF protection. The Underwood bill has
failed as completely to satisfy the peo-
pie as did the Payne-Aldrich tariff.
They represent the two extremes in
tariff making.
The progressive party is opposed to
either extreme. We say that there
must again be political revision Of the
tariff in this country, and that the de-
termination of what tariff rates and
schedules will correctly and wisely
carry out the protective principles
should be committed to an expert tariff
commission, far removed from the
vicissitudes OF party exigency and
partisan interference. The republicans
are now protesting to favor the creation
Of tariff commission. The insincerity
OF this pretense is demonstrated by the
fact that in the sixty-frst congress they
had three distinct opportunities to en-
act such a measure, but instead of pas
sing the bill they beat it by-connivance
with the avowed enemies OF a tariff
commission, and violated the rules OF
the House to do so. The republican
congress and president refused to create
such commission. The democratic
congress and president refused to create
such a commission. The progressive
party is the only party which offers the
tired business men and anxious work
ing men of the country a sound and
conservative remedy, which will pre-
vent for all time both the outrageous
exactions of a -Aldrich tariff and
the ruinous consequences of Wilson
Underwood tariff.
We of the progressive party believe
in a protective tariff. The American
protective system has become an es-
tablished institution. II regulated by

Marie, the 4-year-old daughter of

It is supposed the child wandered
into a vacant room during the few
minutes absence of the mother at a

old coal oil stove that stood in a
corner of the room. In the effort
the childs clothing caught fire and
she was burned to crisp.
The child had closed the door of
the room when entering and her cries
were not heard. The mother, not
seeing her baby. began looking and.
on entering the room, was staggered
by the sight of the little one groan-
ing and yet alive. with every stitch
of clothing consumed. 1t is believed
the girl inhaled the flame In a few
minutes after discovery death ended
the sufferings. DR.. Mcdonnell was

INTO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY;
THIRTY YEARS IN THE SENATE

Springfield he launched upon a politi-
cal career which, for a record of un-
broken service, is unchallenged as
exceeding that of any other Ameri-
can.
Cullom's career as a United States
Senator began in 1888. when he re-

to succeed Davis Davis His service
in the Senate chamber was an I'M

secutive terms---a record excelled by
only two other Senator Allison
of Iowa and Senator Morrill, of ver-
mont. He entered the Senate in
1888 spry, active man of 54. He
