SHELL POOR SMOKE.

County Game Commissioner Con
zer was at Leavenworth one evening
last week and while at the fish
hatchery. of which it seems he has
charge, he filled his pipe and sat
down for a quiet smoke, and to
dream of how he would do things to
the violators of the game laws
Soon his dream was shattered by the
explosion of 10-inch shell, or some
thing about that size, right at the
end of his nose, and his pipe was
;, altered into a thousand pieces.
What really happened was that he
had had some revolver shells in his
pocket and they had been mixed
with his smoking tobacco and one
or more of the shells had been
scooped up and filled into the ample
bowl of his pipe.
The commissioner escaped with
out injury, and not even the most
hardened poacher would have it
otherwise.

The fight against the encroachments of the So
called nonpartisan league is that arouses all the
energies of the publishers of The Echo. We come
from North Dakota, the birthplace and of the
foul sponsors of this wouldbe defiler of American
homes and institutions. We know first hand that this
organization has engendered the greatest hatred
known to America since the days of slavery that its
MAN argument is to set class against class-alrav
farmer against all others; that has trebed taxation
ON farm ands that it has given the rotenest politi
Cal administration ever known in that state and that
farmers have been despoied of untold thousands of
dollars through subsidiary schemes. We know first
hand that there has been no legislation which has
brought about relief-that there has been no relief
from the complaints, real imaginary set up as an
excuse for the organization of the league We
know that the state grain elevators hence no
method of handling the farmers grain for his better
ment We admit that the state has one small -four
mill, capable perhaps of grinding flour enough for
one small county, but the product of this mill is sold
at prices higher than flour can be purchased at any
other mill in the state and still the mill is run at
loss: We know first hand that there has been abso-
utely no general benefit to the state or its people
from or through the non-partsan league But on the
other hand its damage to the state may be measured
IN millions of dollars
knowing these truths we say: Beware of the
socaled partisan league Let the state of Wash
ngton avoid making the colossal mistake made bv
North Dakota.

At the meeting of the council Mon
day evening the bids on the Icicle
road were all rejected, and it is pos
sible the job will be let on the per
centage basis. The engineer recent
ly employed in making a new survey
estimates that the road ought to be
completed to the dam for about
$4,000.
A petition was in for concrete
sidewalk around Block Q. which was
approved
A resolution was presented By AL
derman Beamish for a sidewalk on
both sides of Commercial street
from the West side of Sth street east
to Division street. thence south on
Division to the eastern section of
Commercial street to 18th street,
which was approved by unanimous
vote.
A resolution was presented by Al
lerman Payne for the construction Of
a sidewalk on the north side of Sher-
bourn street starting at the south
east corner of Block 21, 1st Add. to
Leavenworth (at the north end Of
the viaduct), thence west to Summit
avenue, thence west on north side #
Evans street, which was also APPROX
ed by unanimous vote.
The estimated cost of the sidewalk
in each instance was s1.30 per front

whole increase in taxes in 1919. l.
shows that the state tax on land was
Just about quadrupled. In fact there
was such an uproar about it over the
state that the legislature in special
session enacted a measure to return
Is per cent of the state tax, which
leave taxes for state purposes treble
the amount prior to 1919.
A third truth is: During the
special session of the legislature
January, 1920, it was brought out
that books on free love were being
sent out in the state public travelling
libraiy-books which are wholly un-
fit for the young if not unfit for cld-
er people to read. But, you may say
this practice was stopped Yes t
was, but it took all the fight there
was in the minority to bring it ABOUT
and even now, so great is the hat"od
that there are thousands of Townlev
adherents who still endorse the ac-
ton of the board in sending out such
books
Fourth. The league is in fact the
socialist party, and socialism SCOTS at
religion, knows no religion, knows nc
God. There is method in the mad
ness of these socialists, however
Mark well. The republican party
had always been the stronger party
in North Dakota and when Townley
and Mills were casting about for
means of securing control of the state
they hit upon the brilliant idea of adj
vising all league members to registor
as republicans. (lt should be eX-
planned that on even-numbercd years
election years-the township. vii
lage and city assessors register al
voters in April and May, either as re.
publicans. democrats, socialists. o.
whatever other party one desires tc
register under, and when the primary
election is held in June one must vote
as registered). Nearly all league
members, whether democrats, social
lists or prohibitionists, registered a.
republicans, and when the primary
was held they nominated their com
plete state ticket-but outside the
use of the republican name in tn,
primaries-which they continue tc
use-they have never been accused o.
being republicans-they, the leaders
invariably are socialists in spirit an,
in practice and in fact, and the,
recognize no God and have no re
ligion.
Fifth. The state house has beef
packed with socialist carpetbaggers
brought together from New YORK
California. Washington, or whereye

found, and the monthly pay roll which
in the last year of Gov. Hanna's ad-
ministration (before the league Sc
cured controD was about 5000,
now has grown to over S133,0O0.
Truth No. 6. Following the sum-
mer when the |. w. W. spread terror
through the harvestime, when an eff
fort was made to curb the red flag
faunters, the league stood as stone
wall against any legislation of this
sort and the league administration
has never in any manner known dis
couraged the use of the red flag. nor
do we know of an instance when sa-
botage, disloyalty and treason was
frowned upon by any Lacquer in au-
thority. On the other hand. A. c.
Townley, president of the league, was
convicted in a Minnesota court,
charged with sedition.
Does Washington want to join
hands with this sort of men?
DO the people want the press ter
rorized?
Do we want unjust laws, higher
interest rates, people driven from
the state and others kept out through
fear of the tyranny of socialism?
Do we want taxes doubled, trebleA
or quadrupled
Do we want free love taught in our
public schools?
Do we want to encourage tn 3,
Scoffers of religion and place them in
power in our state?
Do we want our state house packed
with theorizers and our state-house
monthly payroll increased 100000? ?
Do we want the l. w w. encourag-
ed and protected; do we want repe-
tition of the Centrala affair?
Answer these questions for your
selves. but for humanity's sake, if
not for Gods sake, do not make the
mistake that was made in North
Dakota.

The union members certainly
should be we'll satisfied with the out =
come. They have much the best of
the matter. They had no reason to
strike excepting as a protest and ou.
of sympathy for those who were dis
charged-the sawyer and two filere
and it is said that the two filers
had asked for their time before they
were discharged; that these two
were discharged by the superintend-
ent after calling for their time and
while the mill foreman was at the Of
fee reporting their time. That tie
sawyer's discharge was warranted
was the opinion of the arbitration
board as well as of others who have
viewed the lumber turned out JUS
prior to his discharge

So-called non-partisan league or
ganizers have begun working in the
Wenatchee valley and already have
deluded several farmers into paving
an eighteen-dollar membership fee.
The advance of this unholy organi-
aztion ought to be stopped right
now. Already are heard the outcries
of hatred which it has engendered.
Its adherents have lost no time in at
tempting to terrorize those who may
oppose it. The Echo has so soon re-
ceived a visit from one who thought
that we needed to be warned; one
who sought to put the fear of Town
ley in our hearts and prevent us from
an expression of the truth so in
delibly written in North Dakota
One truth is that North Dakota has
been damaged beyond measure by
this league. Unjust and discrimina-
tcIY laws have been enacted under
its regime, Interest rates on farm
leans have gone up from five and
one-half and six per cent to seven to
nine per cent. Money has become
scarce in the state although crops
have been fair and prices of produce
high. Thousands of people have
moved out of the state and thousands
have been kept out because of the
league.
Another truth is that taxes have
doubled, trebled and quadrupled. The
league enlarged the scope of the law
of eminent domain, making it pos
sible for the state to take over any or
all real property for state purposes,
which means that when the proper
time comes all real property with it,
Improvements will be taken over by
the state. In the meantime those
engineering matters-Townley and
Mills-have decided that an easy
way to bring about public sentiment
to the support of this scheme, is 70
tax real property to death. Taxes
have always been high enough in
North Dakota. Prior to 1919. how
ever, the assessed valuation of land in
the county in which we resided never
had been above eight or nine dollars
per acre. In 1919 the average value
per acre for that county was OVER
FORTY-FINE DOLLARS PER
ACRE. Prior to 1919 the state tax
levy had been for several years 4.3
mills In 1919 it was reduced 10
about 3.3 mills. Now get your pen
ell and figure what the state taxes on
160 acres of land would be at 50 per
acre. Then figure what il would be
at S45 per acre. The fact is that
this does not begin 10 indicate tie

is not questioned, either by the com
pany or by the public; but the right
to strike is being questioned more
and more each year. and especially
when not warranted, Unions should
if they have not, make it a rule that
no men should go on strike without a
thorough investigation by men of
good judgment into the matters H.
able to cause strike. If in this
case an investigation had been de-
manded and the facts ascertained. no
strike would have taken place If
each member had been impressed at
the time of becoming a member with
the Importance of demanding an in
vestigation, the union would today be
in better light than it is, though the
arbiters magnanimously make it ap-
pear that the company was wrong
excepting in the discharge of one
man, and they further open their
hearts and say that even he should
be taken in and given other employ
ment.
The Echo, in common with every
one in the community, is pleased to
know that a settlement was so early
effected, and we hope that through
the employment of good judgment
and a feeling of fellowship on the
part of both employer and employee
mot forgetting that even employer
have rights will eliminate future
troubles. The public is interested in
seeing this enterprise work to full
capacity and both workers and own
ers profit thereby.
