The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1916-10-13
LISTER MOST EXPENSIVE
GOV. STATE EVER HAD
Made Promises He Would Reduce H-
penSeS-The Record Points an
Accusing Finger at Him

for Office. Governor Lister promised
again and again that if elected he would
remain on the job at Olympia and give
the people business administration
with strictest attention to his duties.
He scored his opponent for what he
termed unnecessary absence from Off
cial duties and too much travelling
about the state.
The record shows that Gov. Lister
has violated these pledges in the most
hagrant manner. He has spent more
time travelling about the state and less
time attending to his duties at Olympia
than any other executive in the history
Of the state.
In the first 2o months OF his admin
istration he spent an average OF but
1876 days of each month at the state
capitol. The balance Of the time he
was fitting about the state or the
country attending social gatherings.
political meetings and public events
playing politics while the people paid
him literally for expenses and he drew
his salary OF $4,000 a year for work
unperformed.
He has been the most expensive ex-
ecutive this state has ever maintained.
In the first two and half months Of his
administration he spent 5,263.40 out
OF funds appropriated for mansion and
maintenance and improvement, while
his predecessor spent but 81, 889. 81 in
biz months. In the first two years
and three months Of his administration
he spent SIS .251.00 for like purpose
as against the $4.83o.51 expended by
his predecessor in practically the same
length of time.
Included in this extravaganza were
items of personal expense amounting
to S863.77 for the purpose which later
the attorney general instructed the
state auditor should not be allowed.
This amount has not been refunded to
the state, however. Other items OF
questionable propriety, to say nothing
Of legality, were a phonograph and
records, $276.25; greenhouse, garage
and gardner's cottage (not authorized
by the legislature) $5,73o.87; five
gallons OF oysters, $500 humidor,
$24. 90; footman, $500; hat (dis-
allowed) $1,000, and many similar
items.
His chief economies consisted OF a
reduction Of his stencgrapher' salary
of $500 per month and reduction
of salary Of his secretary. which was
applied on the salary OF another Office
employe. The reduction OF the ste
nographer's salary was nearly offset by
one item alone, that OF cut flowers for
the governors desk. 1t was the ex-
posure OF this personal extravaganza
that caused the governor to build a
greenhouse and garage out OF the states
money at a cost Of ss.739.89 that he
might continue to have cut flowers
without being embarrassed by publica-
ton of the cost of that little vanity.
In the first d months of his admin
istration Governor Lister spent 81 ,20o.-
As for transportation expenses, which
indicates that he travelled 48,376 miles,
or daily average OF so miles. In d
months his predecessor spent but
S458.74 for transportation expense.
This is the manner in which Cover
nor lister has kept his promise Of econ
omy and a strict attention TO the busi-
ness OF the state.

Importance of Dandelion.

Dandelion, once looked upon as
only a weed, is rapidly becoming a
plant of commercial Importance. The
Scientific American prints pictures of
a dandelion farm near New Haven,
Conn.,, and of the gathering of the
crop, detailing at the same time some
of the manifold virtues of the plant
''The use of the dandelion leaves
as pot herb or salad in the early
spring is we'll known in this coun-
try" it says. ''The country people
make from them a tonic recommend
ed for purifying the blood. It's use
for the table has become so universal
that in number of places large
fields are devoted entirely to it's cul-
ture. The leaves when boiled form
an agreeable substitute for the spin
ach and other greens at much
earlier period of the season than that
in which any other plant is found
to ripen in this climate. The flow
ers are used for making so-called
dandelion wine."
Many tons of dandelion roots are
imported from Germany, Austria and
France every year, local growers
seemingly not knowing that the roots
are worth more than the tops. They
are dug up in the late fall or early
spring, when they contain the full
virtue of their medical qualities. The
dried root is sold by wholesale drug
gists at from 22 to 28 cents a pound.

CONGRESS ADJOURNED FRIDAY.
LEGISLATION for National Prepared
ness Feature of Session.

Congress adjourned sine die Fri
day morning at ten O'Clock, conclud-
ing a session, record-breaking in
many respects, with appropriations
and authorizations for the future
running we'll toward two billion dol
lars.
Important bills passed by the six
ty-fourth congress since last Decem-
Der include preparedness, rural
credits, Philippines, child labor, vo-
cational training, workmen's COM
pensation, eight-hour day law for
railroads, shipping, good roads, emer-
gency revenue and rivers and har-
bors measures.
Other important acts of congress
were the ratification of the Nicara-
guam and Haitian treaties, the con-
firmation of Louis D. Brandeis as as
sociate justice of the United States
supreme court, the rejection of the
nomination of George F. Rublee to
the federal trade commission, and the
defeat Of the Gore and McLemore
resolutions to tie. the presidents S
hands in dealing with the submarine
crises with Germany. Each of these
acts involved warm controversy.
By far the biggest achievement of
congress, in the opinion of leaders
on both sides, was the passage of the
preparedness programme. This pro-
gramme was divided into six bills,
which appropriated total of near
ly seven hundred million dollars for
the national defense.
The six preparedness bills were
the army reorganization bill, the
naval appropriation bill, the army
appropriation bill, the Notifications
bill, and the naval and military acad-
emy bills. The army reorganization
bill is designed to increase the regu-
lar army to approximately one hun
dred and seventy-ive thousand en-
listed men and eleven thousand Of
fcers, peace strength, and to raise
the strength of the national guard to
approximately four hundred and for
ty thousand enlisted men and seven
teen thousand officers. The army
appropriation bill provides two hun
dred and sixty-seven million dollars
to pay for these increases.
The naval appropriation bills au-
thorize a three-year building pro-
gramme of 157 ships, including ten
dreadnoughts and six battle cruisers
and provides three hundred and thir-
teen million dollars to pay the first
years installment.

NEW DEPARTURE.
Washington Monument as Motion
Picture Screen.

What is probably the largest mo-
ton picture screen in captivity is
claimed by the city of Washington,
D. c., says the Popular Science
Monthly for September.
1t was nothing more or less than
the Washington monument and 1T has
been pressed into service by the re-
sourceful bureau of commercial eco
nomics, which has decided that as
long as the out-of-door public must
have it's cinema entertainment, it can
get along without Mary Pickford and
Charlie Chaplin for the time being
and subject itself to an educational
movement.
1t is the avowed purpose of the
bureau Of commercial economics
every once in while to conduct mo-
tion-picture shows which are to be
strictly educational, and the pictures
will be projected on the fair white
sides OF the Washington monument
in the capital city. !
The bureau inaugurated its season
by a special "invitation performance
on the evening of Decoration Day,
when scenes from the Grand Canyon,
the Yellowstone, the Yosemite, Cra-
ter Lake, Mount Rainer, Sequoia, and
other nationally famous places were
flashed against the towering shaft.
On account of the monuments S
rough surface it was found necessary
to project the pictures on special
silken screen, which local florist
provided together with a gigantic
wreath having a diameter of thirty
six feet.

The Dream of Love.

To love a dream forever and dream
of love today
Come, sweethearts, to the garden
gate that leads to lanes Of
May!
To dream of love, and dreaming,
Find stars and moon and sun
Kissed with the dews of yesterday
And the sweet days unbegun!
To love a dream forever and keep the
dream that lies
In bosoms of the loved that look
through light of dreaming
eyes.
To dream of love, and dreaming
Find truth of all that clings
In music that on lutes of time
The dream of love still sings!
To love dream forever and in it's
light to live
Come, sweethearts, never to forget
but ever to forgive!
To dream of love, and dreaming
Find that which died return
In visions where the golden wales
Of loves young dream still
burn.

Ticks and Prices.

w -. w., OSPS. Ac' AAN
average value of beef cattle over two
years old in ten tick-infested States
North and South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Louisi-
ana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas
was $3.50 on January 1, 1918.
For the remainder of the country on
that date it was s48.47. In Georgia
and Florida the average price was
SIS, in Alabama $40, in Mississippi
s22, in South Carolina $4,000, in
Louisiana s24. In every tick-free
State, with the exception of Vermont
and Tennessee, the average value was
$40 or more and in eighteen the av-
erage was over $50.
There are two reasons why cattle
in a ticky country are worth less
than in a tick-free one. They weigh
less and they bring less per pound.
They bring less because they cannot
be sold on the open market but must
be disposed of in quarantine pens for
immediate slaughter only. Expert
enced dealers estimate that buyers
offer from fifty cents to two dollars
a hundred weight less for cattle from
below the quarantine line and the
owner; who cannot transship his
herd to another market or sell the
animals as feeders, is in no position
to stand out for better price.
Ticky cattle weigh less because
they are scrubs to begin with and be-
cause the tick sucks the blood they
need to make flesh. Experiments
have shown that when the ticks are
abundant they will take in the course
of the year 200 pounds of blood from
a thousand-pound steer. They don't
take it all at once, of course, but they
take it nevertheless and the steer, in
order to live, has to make new blood.
While he is busy at that, he is not
likely to put on much weight. Fat
tening> ticky steers is like trying to
keep leaky barrel full; there is a
lot of waste in the process.
Furthermore, as all cattlemen
know, there is more money in grade
stock than in scrubs. Elsewhere in
the country farmers are turning their
attention to grading up their herds,
to securing animals that will respond
to good treatment and feed; in the
tick-infested sections of the South
this has been impossible for no one
will risk bringing pure-bred bulls in
to a ticky county to die from Texas
fever.
Both directly and indirectly, there
fore, the tick keeps down the weight
of Southern cattle and the eradica-
ton of the pest is essential if the
Southern beef producer is to COM
pete on even terms with producers
elsewhere. The matter is as vital to
the small farmer as to the large cat
tie owner. Students of agriculture
are all agreed that the average South
ern farm today has too little stock
upon it for it's own good. The rea-
son is obvious. Under the conditions
created by the tick, cattle raising is
not a sufficiently attractive industry
to appeal to the average man. With
out the tick, the business assumes a
different aspect. This has been
abundantly demonstrated in those
sections in which the tick has been
eradicated. Almost invariably the
ticks disappearance is accompanied
by an increase in the quantity and an
improvement in the quality of the
country's live stock.
