The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1920-11-26

In making the following suggestion
as to what he proposes to do when
the next session of the legislature
meets, Senator. Westfall of Spokane,
seems to have opened up a subject
and preached a change that would be
long step in advance:
81 expect to propose measure to
the next session of the legislature
that will do away with the present
Legislative system of two bodies, re
duce the number of men who have the
states lawmaking powers in hand to
% and eliminate much of the red tape
and delay and expense of this branch
OF the government as it now exists.
ave now have a body of men meet
| ing once every two years, their ses-
SION limited to 90 days, their pay so
ridiculously small that the ablest men
cannot be persuaded to become candi-
| dates, and the procedure so ncces-
| Saily cumbersome and tedious that
| the state is not getting efficiency for
the expense involved.
every session we have 700 or 800
bills presented No human being on
oarthcould study or render mature
Judgment on that many measures in
so DAYS time. Under the plan ] pro
pose. all but worthy bills would be
eliminated. Twenty-Five men could
discuss and render quicker, surer
| Judgment than 1870.
"Our Legislative sessions now cost
the state about $125o00. We could
pay the % men $4,000 year and get
able men and better service out of
them. With no business for them to at
tend to but the states business, they
could naturally save the state money
that a cumbersome body Of 1870 men
| can not.
Il propose that the 25 men be Sc
lected. five from each congressional
district, and they govern their own
procedure. STAY in session so long
y they ike. and t'X the time for their
next meeting. OF course this body
would work. as now. in harmony with
the executive. and would he addressed

FIRE SUNDAY.

Fire did some damage to the east
erly house of the three owned by
Geo. Blocksledge on West CONNER
cial Street. The house was occupied
by the family of Fireman Wilson and
when the fire was discovered all the
household goods were hurriedly NOV
ed out and when the fire department
arrived the house was empty. The
fire had evidently started in a wall or
the ceiling where a stove pipe passed
through and it was soon gotten un-
der control and put out. The prnci-
pal damage was said to have been
caused by the water and chemicals.
which of course could not be avoided

LET'S ALL TRY \ LITTLE
ENTHIrSI ASM

Why is it that the young men of
the farm and the rural town lose in
terest in their environment and tramp
off to the city to be lost-nne-t enths
Of them-in whirlpool of oblivion
In our opinion the reason lies large
ly in the absence of ENTHUSIASM
one OF the greatest words in langu-
age, no matter what tongue it is
spoken in. Perhaps you have forgot
ten how the word was made. EN-
thusasm' came from the Greek words
EN- for in, and "theos" for God
When a man was zen theos" the
Greeks said he had the divine spirit
in him.
And it is not divine to be enthusi-
astic? Faith divine moves mountains
and so does enthusiasm. But how
few of us realize it. Indeed the edi-
tor of this newspaper believes that
our rural communities need few
things as much os as seriously as en-
thusiasm. Enthusiasm for our work
no matter what that work is; enthu-
siasm for the human people who sur
round us; enthusiasm for our COM
munity and its interests, various and
Sundry; enthusiasm for all things of
life and for life itself.
There is hardly one of us who has
not the capacity for enthusiasm. The
trouble is that we do not cultivate it.
Don't be a bump on log. Try lit
tie enthusiasm. Develop it and you
will not only be mare of a success in
your niche, you will not only be oy
to all the people around you, bat you
will be totally surprised with your
self and also everlastingly pleased
with yourself.

DON'T MAKE MARTYRS OF
THEM. FOJKS'

The recent election proved beyond
all doubt that the revolutionaries,
Bolshevists and all others who have
been scheming at civil war in the
United States and the overthrow of
our government, didn't get very far
with the mass of the American peo-
pie. They have made great uproar
for two years, but when it came to
the point of showing us they had
some power, they were lost in the del
uge of votes that were cast without
any thought of them.
You would have expected that good
natured, personally popular but mis-
taken Gene Debs, Socialist candidate
for president, would have gotten a
very large vote as a martyr, but his

The National Grange, in session at
Boston, sustained four of eight charg-
es brought against William Bouck
master of the Washington State
Grange, and reprimanded him for his
alleged disloyalty to the organization
in injecting politics into grange SEES

seems to lean to conservatism, pre-
ferring tried and established Ameri-

have been shot down in the civil war
that has prevailed; shot down, not as
soldiers in battle, but taken from
their homes and killed or even killed
in their homes, hotels or in the
streets 1t seems incomprehensible
that enlightened people such as the
Irish and English should not be able
to understand that they have mu-
tual interest that can best be served
by defensive and offensive alliance
and not by offense.

Two thousand Japanese students
recently met in Toxic and discussed
the question, "Shall Japan Fight
America" 1t ought not take very
much discussion to settle that ques-
ton. America has no intention of do
ing the Japanese an injustice. Never
theless immigration from Japan must
be controlled, if not entirely stopped
and japanese in this country must be
curbed along certain lines. But JUS
tice must rule in every case.
