states have a two cent passenger rate and whatever loss Is incurred is reCov- cred through freight revenue The jus tice of such a procedure was recently passed upon by the Supreme Court of West Virginia and the decision is so far-reaching that We have asked l.. K. Johnson, president of the Nor folk and Western Railway whose road contested the case to briefly review the suit. MT Johnson said in part
 Some ten years ago. passenger fares were fixed by the legislatures of a large number of states at two cents a mile. As a basis for such economic legislation. no examination was made of the cost of doing the business so regulated, nor was any attention given to the fact whether such a rate would yield 10 the rail way companies an adequate or any net return upon the capital invested in conducting this class of business
 Such a law was passed in West Virginia in 1907 The Norfolk and Western Railway Company put the rate into effect and maintained it for two years It's accounting during these two years showed that two cents mile per passenger barely paid the outof-pocket cost and noth- ing was left to pay any return on capital invested It sought relief from the courts.

desirable way as sight wads. is Of dis
tinct advertising value to a great manu-
featuring concern. Paying his employees
high wages, while surrounding them
with every comfort and advantage while
employed-without impairing his huge
profts-may be founded on the best Of
business acumen, and certainly makes
eloquent appeal to every working man
who is able to afford a machine.
It is not the purpose here to question
the propriety Of Mr.. Ford's methods or
his title to distinction as a great philan-
thropist, but to suggest, rather, that
here is new phase Of far-seeing Ameri-
can business sagacity. And further
suggest that it is much easier to in
dulge in philanthropies on a FIVE or ten
million dollar yearly income than on
a fifteen hundred dollar yearly income.

100 Per Cent Publicity to Advertisers

AS means to publicity The Echo
has no rival. The man who has some
thing to sell and means to apprise the
public OF the fact thru the medium Of
newspaper advertising can not afford to
overlook The Echo. There are not a
dozen homes in Leavenworth where the
paper is not read every week. II The
Echo is wanted it is read. That it is
wanted is evidenced by the fact tina, it
is paid for by every one receiving it.
Less than one hundred copies per year
are given away under the postal privi-
lege OF Sample Copies"
We can only repeat. the paper that
is paid for is wanted, and of course
read. The paper that costs nothing
may be read as matter Of curiosity or
because one has nothing else to do at
the moment. Nine times out of ten
its chief use is to start kitchen fires.

All Germans Are Not BunpdOuS

The following dispatch under an Am
sterdam. Holland, head appeared in the
daily press last Wednesday:
A vigorous protest against attacks in
Germany on America and Americans,
appears in an article BY Macmillan
Harden, editor OF the Berlin newspaper,
Die-Zukunft. Harden states that at a
recent meeting Of a great corporation,
one of the directors referred to the
American people as that pack Of
scoundrels in America" Harden adds,
Nobody protested. The chairman
did not rule out the remark. Such
proceedings disgust every right think
ing German and disgrace US before the
whole world and before our own con-
science. It is little wonder we are
hated" concludes Harden.

A Democratic SOAP Of Paper

The democratic party is committed
to a single term for president, accord
ing to the unequivocal language Of the
party platform Of 1912, the one on
which President Wilson was elected.
That the president expects to succeed
himself is too evident to be open to
question, and that the democratic party
is not seriously considering any one
else is equally evident.
The same platform committed the
democratic party to rigid economy in
the following language:
We denounce the profigate waste
Of money wrung from the people by
excessive taxation thru the lavish ap-
preparations of recent republican con-
crosses, which have kept taxes high
and reduced the purchasing power of
the people. We demand a return to
that simplicity and economy which be-
fits a democratic government, and a
reduction in the number Of useless
Offices, the salaries of which drain the
substance OF the people"
The last democratic congress author
lied the expenditure of one hundred
million dollars more than had ever be-
fore been authorized.

The Presidents Message

The innovation inaugurated by Presi-
dent Wilson at the first meeting Of
congress after his Inauguration, was
followed last Tuesday. He delivered
his message in person to the assembled
lawmakers. 1t is very creditable doc
ument. Preparedness, as was expect
ed, was the keynote. He reaffirms,
without calling in the name of the
Monroe doctrine. He goes step
further and wants our government to
take the South and Central American
governments into partnership in en-
forcing the doctrine if it shall ever be
necessary to employ force. We can
heartily agree with this extension. 1t
is the one and only way this country
can build up lasting friendships with
our neighboring governments to the
south. The South American govern
ments do not want to play the part of
Little Brother" They want to be
taken into full partnership in any
scheme that contemplates international
questions. This part Of President Will
sons message is to our mind evidence
Of sound craftsmanship. Close and
friendly political relations with South
and Central America will do more to
develop trade relations in that direction
than all the commissions and junketing
trips combined.
Evidently the president does not be-
lieve in large standing army, perhaps
not as large as We might deem neces-
sary, but he does believe in a second
line Of trained men behind the regular
army, and an adequate navy. Also,
he takes mild rap at those unpatriotic
and less desirable citizens, whether ma
tive born or naturalized, who would not
take up arms in defense OF this country.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1915-12-10

The presidents Recommendations as
to preparedness on the part Of the
United States, in his message read 10
congress last Tuesday, will meet with
the approval OF very large percentage
of the people Of this country. An
army and navy is in the nature Of ma
tional insurance against destruction,
much as life insurance is a protection
against want. The people of the
United States are willing to pay some
hundreds OF million dollars for the pro-
lection that an army and navy would
give in the event OF assault, and pray
every day that it may never be needed.

Tile Supreme Court Criticised

Considerable adverse comment in
the press appears over the delay in
handing down the decision in the Gott-
stein case, involving the constitution
atty of the prohibition law. It was
generally believed that the decision
would be rendered about Thanksgiving
time last month. The delay in arriving
at decision leads to the belief that
the court is divided, with the possibil-
ity that the court may take favorable
view of the law as presented by the
attorneys for the vets.

A Great Boom in Mining

Not for many years has mining en-
joyed such prosperity as the final re-
turns for 1915 show. The Couer de
Alene district, just across the line from
Spokane, in Idaho, shows a net in
crease in profits over 1914 Of $3,2ll,-
1874. The Interstate Callahan, new
dividend payer, since April last paid to
its stockholders $2.557,445. The in
terstate-C Callahan is a zinc producing
property and the tremendous rise in
this metal since the war began is
largely responsible for these heavy
profits.
All the copper producing properties
in the same district increased their
dividend over the previous year. The
present high-up price Of copper bids
fair to hold up until the war ends and
for years after. A number of new cop
per mines have been opened in the
past year and old ones that had been
closed down have resumed operations.
Indeed. it may truthfullY be said Of the
whole mining industry Of the United
States that it was never so prosperous
as right now. The high price Of cop
per is responsible for the determination
Of the Vance Mining Co., owners Of
valuable copper properties on the head
of the Icicle river, to build railroad
from Leavenworth to their mining
property to give an outlet for their
ores to the smelter. Al Van Epps,
discoverer and principle owner Of the
Icicle property, has highly developed
mine. All it lacks to become highly
remunerative is transportation Tor the
ores. 1t has been repeatedly ex-
amined by experts and pronounced a
sound proposition. The ore is there
in large quantities, which the tunnels
and shafts have laid bare to the eyes OF
the expert. Repeated assays have
been made. The value has been
proven beyond question. Making
Leavenworth the delivery point for the
products OF the property will add much
to her prosperity. The building of
the road will open up other mining
property. 1t will also open up the
finest body Of virgin timber in the state
OF Washington, much Of which is cedar
of the very best quality. Some seven
or eight miles from Leavenworth the
Icicle river widens out and much valu-
able tillable land in the forest reserve
will doubtless be opened for settle
ment.
The road. according to information
given out is to be completed by the
first of August, 1916.

The county authorities have under
consideration the remodelling of the
courthouse at cost of some eight or
nine thousand dollars. There is very
strong sentiment in favor of not spend
ing any more money on the old build
ing, as the construction of a new court
house will come up in the near future.
There is sound sense in this sugges-
ton. The old building has undergone
remodeling several times in the past
eight or ten years and may well do for
a few years without any further expense.

Philanthropy or Business Acumea!

Mr.. Henry Ford in a few years has
amassed fortune oil some fifty million
dollars selling automobiles for $500
that cost 500. So much Of this same
kind OF thing is going on all over this
country, only on a smaller scale, that
Mr.. Ford's activities did not attract
attention until the f1ashlight of newspa-
per publicity was thrown on him, and
10, overnight, Mr.. Ford became ia
nous. 1t seems he employs a large
number OF men under factory condi-
lions that are said to be admirable. He
even divides a small portion Of his ten
million yearly profits among his work
men. Also he gives every purchaser
of a Ford machine rebate OF $50
about a year after purchase. Further,
it may be admitted that he makes a
very good and cheap machine, as autos
go-which is prompted BY good bust
ness judgment.
For some time we have been har-
assed with the question, is not Mr..
Ford, after all, not only the greatest
philanthropist. but also the shrewdest
advertiser this country has ever pro-
duced? Being extensively advertised,
without cost, too, in these piping
times when so many Of our men Of big
money are being advertised in less
