and in 1921 with an average daily at
tendance of 23O,555 pupils, an in
crease of 39,114, the total amount en-
pended was $2S,553,333, an increase
of S15,473,O61 In other words,
it cost $15,400,000 in round figures,
in 1921 to educate the additional &c.
600 children, as compared with $751;
100000 to educate 191, 1000 children
in 1916. The increase per pupil DUR
ing this same period was $55.52, the
per pupil cost in 1916 being $6s.33
and in 1921 $123.S5.
This brief analysis of the increased
costs in the public schools surely
demonstrates that there is no finan-
cial emergency existing at this time
1t is claimed by the proponents of
the 30-10 measure that no tax in
crease will result if this plan is adj
opted for the reason that the differ
ence will be saved in the districts
This same claim was advanced by the
proponents Of the 20-10 measure
when that bill was before the state
Legislature, but let us examine the
results. During the year 1919, the
last year public school revenue was
raised on the 1910 basis, the total
amount of the levy for state, county
and school districts was S1S,99S, 100.
90. In 1920 with reduction in the
valuation of property for taxation
purposes, under the 20-1O plan the
total levy was S26,57S,191.13, an in.
crease of $7,579,4S1.21. Of course, g
part of this increase was due to nat.
ural conditions, but there was an in.
crease of SO per child in changing
from the 1910 to the 20-10 plan. Now
let us consider the claim that the diff.
ference would be saved in the schoo
districts. In 1919 under the 10-1C
plan the total school district levy was
S13,403, 2S007 and in 1920 under the
20-10 it was $17,196OS5.51 an in.
crease on district levy of $3,792 ,sO5..
A. The increase in county levy
under the 2010 as compared with the
1910, was S226,23669.
There are 375,000 school children
in the state of Washington. The 30
10 measure provides for an addition
al $40 per school child and it will
therefore directly raise S3,75O,OOO ad.
ditional school revenue.

TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION
ON THE 1910 PLAN

In any intelligent discussion of the
proposed 30-10 Initiative Measure,
the general tax situation in the State
of Washington should be taken into
consideration. During the past five
years the tax bill in the state has in
creased approximately 300 per cent.
going from S37, 1866, 7S5.05 in 1916 to
$6S,206, S09.9S in 1921, an increase of
$50, 40,024.S3. In addition to the tax
levy of sos, 206, S099S in 1921, there
was collected and expended approx
mately S25,000,00O.O0 of indirect rev.
enue collected in fees and licenses by
the several divisions of government.
On top of the state, county, municipal
and district taxes the taxpayers of
the State of Washington paid to the
federal government during 1921 about
$22,500,000 in federal income and ex-
cess profit taxes. Another alarming
feature of the tax problem is the tre-
mendous increase in the bonded debt.
During the brief period of 7 years
public Indebtedness in the state has
increased SS5, 654, $4,000, going from
$105,352,547 in 1915 to S191 ,007 ,543
on January /, 1922 This is a per
capita debt of $139.S7 on which the
taxpayers last year paid $8,77S,S42
or an annual per capita interest
charge Of $6.43.
A large proportion of the tax in
crease has been for public schools.
For instance, in 1916, with a daily
average attendance of 191,441 pupils
the total amount expended for public
school purposes was $13,OSO,271.38,

Editor Leavenworth Echo.
NV Dear Editor:

Editor Leavenworth Echo.
My Dear Editor:
note in an editorial of recent date
regarding the division of the county
also your editorial on taxes. Your
views are we'll taken and founded on
the principal of righteous welfare
not only for the future of Leaven-
worth alone but for the entire west
ern community.
1t is about time for Leavenworth
to awaken from their roost; they have
been roosting now for Is years, and
you never have heard "crow" and all
are not "roosters." Wenatchee has
never done parcel of good for Leav-
enworth and never will. The west
ern part of Chelan county has been
the vassal of Wenatchee, the Wen
atchee World has done more to injure
the progress of the western half than
you can imagine and in my travels, |
hear these comments, what has the
Wenatchee paper against Leaven-
worth? l only answer, selfish mo-
tives, selfish jealousy" and have
heard this from Montana, Dakota,
Minnesota, Oregon, California and
British Columbia.
would advise changing the name
of your city. Consult the Royal De-
velopment Company. l do not think
they would object to the name of
Royal City, County of Royal. But
change the name. Leavenworth has
| been so isolated, so ridiculed, by arti-
cles thus appearing that the name is
black listed, and again it conflicts
with Leavenworth, Kansas. You are
travelling on the right course for the
future and you should have the fullest
support Of the citizens and l admire
your public spirit.
Too much attention can not be Civ
en- to the Royal Development Com
pany, they are the right people. They
are people who are building up your
country for a future generation and
they should be consulted in every
welfare, every detail pertaining to the
growth of your city. For minerals is
one of the greatest foundations of the
| earth. One of the saddest mistakes
ever made was when few Leaven-
worth citizens prevented the estab-
lishment of the Royal Banking Trust
Company. 1t was a serious mistake,
a deplorable mistake. | have Gre
dentials but they are not for publica-
ton and l know of what l speak.
When people only live for selfish
greed, selfish motives, they only seem
to destroy the progress of our coun-
try. They live in the age of !;
they are deteriorating, and when
they seek only light and progress for
themselves in life they only carry
condemnation and darkness in death,
and the sooner the people realize to
work in concord, not conflict, the bet
ter their path in life will be. Tis
best to be strewn with flowers of love,
flowers of hope, flowers of external
progress, combined with civility,
kindness, attention, accommodations,
companionship, congeniality, courtesy
and a spoonful of diplomacy given as
a dessert or tonic, builds a multitude
of progress, and it is divine bless
| ing, for it costs nothing.

ton by working in concord. Those

gave the company IT'S lots free gra-
tbs. In addition we used our infu-
ence and bought land for the company
at prices that the company could not
obtain and with other courtesies
shown Mr.. Pretal Davis and his peo-
pie they changed the location of their
mill to Leavenworth and the results
are shown from the efforts on our
part.
The present park ground was
bought for 5000 or $500 for the COM
pany, they intending to use it for
buildings. Later selling the ground
to the Great Northern Railway and
through our efforts was set aside for
park which today is a monument to
your city, Leavenworth has bright
future. You have good people, bright

if you exercise the use of these en-
dowments God so kindly bestowed
upon you, success surely will follow,
and you will always have in me a
kindly word and my heartfelt wishes.

BROTHER SANS TAXES.
BY Charley L. Cant.

My brother Sam he says to me, in
accents wild, one night, says he; I'm
paying taxes on my hogs, my chick
ems, cows and sheep and dogs, my
mower, harrow, pillow and rake and all
improvements that l make; on every
spoon, fork and Knife paid five dol
lars on my wife-and blast if | can
understand why must pay so much
on land, on which l worked for many
a year to get little spud patch clear
They tax my Ford nine different ways
they tax the oats and stock I raise
tax me for the roads and schools, my
tractor and my farming tools, and
then a poll tax I must pay or in the
Jail I'll have to lay; it sure is one
back-breaking load, this tax admin
istration code"
Says ! to my brother Sam, "They
tax me on each crab and clam, pole
and log and single bolt and keep
big Gull Nelson holt, upon each
thing from planks to slabs-I pay
some tax on taXicabs, and that is why
that we should call, old Louies autos,
one and all, just taxicabs, for it is
true the things are surely taxing you
and | and all our neghbors here
our tax runs higher year by year, till
| admit that | am full of Louie's tax
reduction bull. I've had a big, full
feed for me of tax reducing, G. o. p,
when tax run higher every June and
still they hum the same old tune that
grand old party lullaby, which
soothes our slumbers with lie, while
some old bilker grinds his ax-then
we awake and pay more tax"
Old Louie. heaps on gall and bile by
asking taXbroke folks to smile-he
tries to charm us, so to speak, so we
can fast and smile a week, at taxes
ranging mountain high and pocket
books that're Volstead dry. Here at
home, this very hour, Old Louie Taxi
cabs in power. He has his henchmen
all arrayed in taxicabs, and on parade
with party music which might charm
the court house and the county farm,
for it has long been understood, at
either place the "Pickens" good. The
voters have been used as tools, and
Sam and l, two monsterous fools,
have each year cast our ballot wrong
while listening to that siren song
which like Calypso's music smacks-
but means more taxicabs and tax.
Good friends and neighbors, why
should we not make a change in
things and see, if we can stop tax
| robber curse-we cannot make it any
worse? Some of the bunch have hit
the wall. ooh! How the Mighty
Come to FALL" from out that great
and grand dominion of hard ex-
pressed Public opinion. Come all you
folks with weary backs from Juggling
loads of CRATER tax, and let US all
throw up our hats, Republicans and
Democrats and Farmer-Labor neigh
bors too, come on and let's step
through the dew and with a big tri-
umphant shout, turn all that bunch
of promise out and put in men of
sterling worth who do not want the
whole round earth. Let's have a
change in tax and purse, all hades
cant make it any worse.
