When the Violin Vocale, first num-
Der on the Peshastin Lyceum course,
appears there on the evening of Oct.
31st, local people will enjoy not only
q distinct departure in violin en-
semble, but a splendid program of de-
lightful entertainment features as
well. Among these should be men
toned the Country Dance" tie
Songs of the Sixties done in appro-
PIRATE costume, and the fascinating
lyrics of old Spain given in colorful
costumes of that country.

lists, and students of Carl Frederick
Steckelburg, noted violinist, who
heads the department in the Lincoln
School of Music.
Selections are featured from J.
Mortimer Wilson, of New York City.
Fred Cardin, noted violin soloist, and
Thurlow Lieurance, composer.
There is professional touch in the
artistry of this quintet which people
are talking about all along their sue
cessful tour.

REFERENDUM IL WILL
DEVELOP NEW INDUSTRIES

Referendum measure No. u, which
is to be voted on in November. is nei-
ther new law nor an experiment. It
has been the law of Wisconsin for fif-
teen years and of California since
1911. Similar laws are in force in
Oregon and Idaho, and in all in
twenty-siX states of the union.
In all of these states this law has
been of great assistance in extending
light and power and other utility ser
vice and in protecting the public. from
excessive rates. Rates and service, it
must be remembered, are regulated
by law.
Experience has proved that two
companies serving one community
with light, power or water, means
duplication of plant and investment,
and that such duplication means
poorer service at higher rates.
The law as drawn, however, does
not guarantee any company against
competition. 1t will provide compet-
ton when service is inadequate or
whenever public interest demands it.
1t will in no way interfere with TIE
operation, development or extension
Of any municipality owned or public
owned utility nor can it result in ty-
ing up or preventing the development
of the water power resources of the
state. California's experience with
this same identical law proves that,a
during the eleven years that law has
been in operation there, California
has witnessed tremendous develop
ment of the states water power re-
sources, development the people of
California admit would have been i'm
possible under old conditions.
Here, as well as in our sister states
of the coast, water power develop
ment is needed to furnish the energy
required in irrigation and for manu-.
featuring purposes.
Referendum measure No. IL will be
a big factor in reducing the burdens
of the taxpayer, by adding to the tax
able property of the state. Develop
ment Of power resulting in the Gre
alton of huge water power plants, the
extension of irrigated areas and the
establishment of manufacturing
plants will add to taxable wealth.
Our taxes in 1921 We're $30,0O0,0OC
in excess of the taxes in 1916.
reason for this may be found wher
properties exempt from taxation are
studied. Seattle and King County
for instance have more than S108,-
100000 of such tax exempt proper
ties, a condition which increases the
amount of taxes which must be as
sessed against the properties of tho
taxpayers of the state.

BOXING CARD NOV. II
TO BE \ DANDY.

The boxing card to be staged at the
Scenic theatre the evening of Nov. II
is going to be one of the best displays
of boxing talent ever shown in this
part of the state. Any one of the
three main goes, namely, Ad. Schlafli
VS.. Leo Stokes, Art Fitzsimmons VS..
Earl Miller, Ernie Daily VS.. Jimmy
Cole, would be a main event most
anywhere.
The bout between Bud Mitchell and
Doc Smell should be a dandy. The
winner of this match will be given a
match with the winner of the Daily
Cole bout.
Even the curtain raiser should be a
whale of a bout. Young Veter has
hosts of followers around town and
while Vic Walker is more of dark
horse, he has done considerable anna
teur boxing around Buffalo, n. Y.
and will give the local lad plenty of
action.
No one will be admitted to the show
who is not member in good stand
ing of the Chelan County Athletic
Club.
A membership drive will be made
and it is well to mention that mem
berships are open to ladies as we'll as
men. There is nothing going to take
place that evening that the manage
ment Of the club should keep the fair
sex from seeing.
So any club member wishing to
make his wife, sister, mother or lady
friend club member, may do so and
rest assured that nothing will be said
or done at the clubs entertainment to
offend any one.

GALA DAY AT LEAVENWORTH
ARMISTICE DAY, NOV, H.

Armistice Day, Nov. II, is to be a
gala day in LeavenwOrth From six
o'clock in the morning until the
smoke from the smoker clears away
the local Legion boys promise that
there will be something doing every
minute. Early in the morning and
continuing until the opening up of the
sports program, there will be a con-
tinuous bombardment of the town
from the surrounding hills. Six men
have been detailed to make sure that
no inhabitant will fail to know that
something out of the ordinary is
about to occur.
At ten o'clock program of foot
racing, log-chopping, freak races
basketball throwing and other COM
retitions will open up with prizes Of
fered the winner in each event. Then
there will be community singing fol-
lowed by the Armistice Day obse1v-
ance.
A big feed is to be served on the
street for very small sum, just
enough to cover expenses. A speaker
has been secured to give a 90 to 30
minute talk, after which the whole
town will move to tie football park
to witness a gridiron classic between
tie local high school pigskin artists
and their ancient enemy, Cashmere
The game is being handled by the LIE
gion.
Following the game will be more
sports down town. There will be a
tug of war from horseback and other
entertaining numbers.
All through the day, except during
the football game, there will be
booths operating containing special
features. Bally-hoo men will cry
their wares and the click of the rou-
lette wheel will vie with the whistle
of the peanut stand for the patronage
of the merrymakers.
All stores in town will be closed for
the day but plan to remain open on
Friday night preceding Armstice
Day.
The proceeds of the day are to be
used by the Legion boys to fit up a
room at the new Community hospital
to be dedicated to the use of needy
eX-service men, whether in or out of
the Legion. With this laudable pur-
pose no doubt the town and country
side will turn out and make the day
one long to be remembered

MAN
TACKLED BY
WOBBLIES

Last Saturday afternoon two wob-
blies were cleaned up on by an able
bodied workman in a manner to warm
the hearts of those who believe in fair
play and decency.
The laborer had climbed aboard
freight near the depot and was in an
empty wood car waiting for the train
to pull out when the two wobblies
climbed aboard and wanted him to
join the |. W. w. and fight ensued.
The first seen of it by others was the
exchange of few blows and. then the
workman leaping from the car. He
lodged through the train and then
came into view around the remains of
the old burned ice house near the de
pot, and one of the wobblies piled off
the car and made for him with
board. Mr. Workman stood his
ground and when the wobbly struck
at him, merely lodged the blow, and
as there were five CT six of the wob-
blies about, he then sauntered across
the street and stopped in front of the
Burgess barber shop. After a short
confab the wobblies crossed in a BODY
and while one of them threatened him
with gun in his coat pocket, others
talked. But the workman squared
off and told them to wade in if they
had anything to say by hand. A fair
fight evidently was not in their line
and they did not attack him either
singly or collectively.
Finally when Officer Dude Brown
and Special officer Bentley showed up
the wobblies skunk off.
The workman, whose name was not
learned, told the following story
He had climbed onto the train to
ride over to the Sound and presently
the two wobblies also climbed on.
They wanted him to join the I. w. w.
which he refused to do. They then
threatened him and said that if he did
not they would 'frame" him. He told
them, according to his story, that if
they We're going to do that they had
better begin then and there, and they
both assaulted him. One he knocked
down with blow from his fist and
then, grabbing a conveniest piece of
board, he Crowned" the other and
then jumped from the car, as told
above. He was somewhat bruised
about the mouth and face, indicating
that the assault was intended to be
real.
The Echo thinks it is high time that
our county officials showed some ac-
tivity and check up on this wobbly
outfit. Had not this workman been a
big husky fellow, he undoubtedly
would have been murdered right here
in this city in broad daylight, for it is
evident that these strong-arm leaders
of the |. W. w. gang are capable of
committing any crime in order to en-
force their demands among the labor
ing class. They are evidently the
same old gang of outlaws that they
were known to be few years ago,
notwithstanding the claims of their
soapy-mouthed orators.

FLASHES OF ACTION.

The picture, Flashes of Action,
shown last Saturday evening by the
Victor H. Johnson Post, American
Legion, at the Scenic theatre, was
greatly enjoyed by all present, though
parts of it was a repetition. No doubt
the picture will be preserved and
shown probably for century or per-
haps down in the years so distant that
no one now living will be there to see
it; and perhaps in those days it will
be a crudity. illustrating to genera
tions to come old-fashioned and anti
quated methods and means that now
appear to be the last thing in up-to-
dateness.

ADMINISTRA-
TIVE BOARD OP-
POSES "3O-lO"

Olympia, Oct. 26.-The effect that
the change from the 1910 to the 20
10 plan for raising common school
funds, that is $40 per census child
from tie state and $40 from the coun-
ty had on the common school tax lev
'ies IN Chelan county, is shown in com
pilations recently made by the divis-
ions Of municipal corporations of the
state auditors office.
In 1919, the last year of the 1910
apportionment the total state, county
and district levy for common schools
IN Caelan county was $312,2335S. In
1921, the second year under the 2O-IO
apoprtionment, the total was S49S.-
9i9.68, an increase of $1S6,716.1O.
In 1919 the district levies of the
county were 1921 ,446.75, and despite
the fact that it was claimed the $40
per child increase on the part of the
state would lower the district levie7
for the county they had increased in
1921 to $325,097.71.
The county common school levy in
1919 was $54,434.2S, in 1921 it was
$62,415.91, while the state levy by
reason of the adoption of the 2O-1O
had increased from $36,352.55 in 1919
to $111, ,436.06 in 1921.
These figures were presented at a
recent meeting of the administrative
board and were so conclusive that the
board adopted resolution opposing
the 30-10 plan. The 30-10 will be
submitted to the people at the No
vember election as Initiative No. 49,
1t was the conclusion of the board
that since the 30-10 is but an enlarge
ment of the 20-10, an increase of
$4,000,000 for common school purpo-
ses was threatened by its passage
The total schoo tax levy common
schools in 1919 was $1S,998, 709.92, in
1921 the total was $26,33O .936. 90. in
crease of $7,342,225.17.
