TRAFFIC.
!. NORMAL IN SOUTH
DESPITE EFFORTS OF RAIL.
ROADS FREIGHT ACcUMU-
LATES AT CENTERS
(By the Associated Press

Washington, May 13.-With freight
accommodating at the big railroad gate
ways centering in the large industrial
and port cities OF the country as fast
as it can be hauled away, and despite
the efforts of the railroads to relieve
the situation, the congestion is con
tinuing to obstruct industrial opera
tfons and commerce. in many sections
Of the United States.
Reports today showed that the
South was the only bright spot on the
railway map. Southbound freight in
the Southern states is moving with
but little delay, but the connecting
roads are unable to handle all of the
northbound freight. and the South is
affected only to limited extent as
result of the prevailing freight con-
gestion, said by officials to be the
worst that the country has expert
enced since the winter of 1917.
The cause OF the freight jam is at
tributed by railway officials, to inabil-
lily to procure sufficient motive pow
err. and shortage of labor. The gov
eminent has been appealed to for aid
in clearing UP the situation, which
will undoubtedly result in further
curtailment Of production and seri-
ously interfere with industry.

GEORGIA MAY &c 7
NEW CONGRESSMAN
INFORMATION is THAT 1920 CEN.
SUS FIGURES INDICATE ONE
AND MAYBE TWO

The best obtainabIe information fl
tering through from Washington is
to the effect that Georgia will gain at
beast one congressman when the 1920
census figures are completed
There is no official information
available other than the announce
ments which have thus far been made
las to the population of towns These
figures show fine average increase
ever the corresponding figures for
/ 1910, however, and may be fairly
taken as representative of what has
happened in the urban cmomunities.
Even if the rural communities OF
the state should not show so large a
ratio of increase as the towns. it
would be pretty safe to count upon at
least one additional Georgia congress
man, provided of course. the ratio Of
representation for the entire United
States is not so radically changed by
Congress as to prevent any increase

ativPs. That is unlikely Congress
usually alters the numerical basis Of
representation so as to keep states
which have gained little in population
from losing a congressman.

changed at all by Congress after the
present CELSIUS, Georgia will be very
siikeis TO, gam two congressman. II
'fhe compromise basic change which
is considered most probable is made.
which would keep Central Western
states like Iowa from losing repre-.
sentation. the best guess on Georgia's
gain would probably be one member.

gressional district now is 211.43O.
From 1900 to 1910 il was 194,264 and

CONGRESS GETS
CALLING DOWN
ACCUSED BY PRESIDENT OF IN
TERFERING UNDULY WITH
EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS

Washington, May 13.-President
Wilson very pointedly informed con-
gress today that in his opinion the
Legislative branch of the government
is guilty of showing an increasing
tendency to interfere unduly with the
executive functions.
The statement was made by the
in explanation of his action
in vetoing the legislative. executive
and judicial appropriations bill. and
was occasioned because Of a section
contained in the bill to prohibit the
printing or mimeographing of any
government publication, except by
the authority of the congressional
joint committee on printing. :.
The statement of the President
aroused considerable interest in con
gressional circles. but it is not prob
able that the bill can be repassed
over the Presidents veto.

PAINFUL ACCIDENT
SUPT. OF SHIP BUILDING PLANT
SUFFERS LOSS OF THUMB
AND TWO FINGERS

o. J. Mccoy, superintendent of the
mill at the plant OF the U. S. Maritime
Shipbuilding Corporation, was the
victim of a painful accident yesterday
afternoon at 4 o'clock, when he suf-
ferred the loss of a part OF the thumb
and the first and second fingers of
his right hand. In working at the
moulding machine Mr. McCoy's hand
was caught in the gears of the ma
chine, and SO badly crushed that it
was necessary to amputate the in
jured fingers.
!, Immediately after the accident he
was carried to the city hospital where
the injury was quite painful, no
serious results are anticipated, and
Mr.. Mccoy will be removed to his
home on Egmont street from the hos
spital today.
This is tie second accident in
which Mr.. Mccoy has been injured
at the MARITIME plant. About two
years ago he sustained, injuries about
the head which came very near re-
sulting fatally, and from which he
was confined in the city hospital for
several weeks,
Mr.. Mccoy has a wide circle OF
friends in Brunswick, who deeply
sympathize with him in his misfor
tune, and hope for his speedy recov
cry.

WHY THEY FIGHT.

Nonpartisan leaders are shrewc
enough to use every effort to turn ac-
cusiations and assertions made agains,
them through the press of Idaho upon
the shoulders Of the rank and file Of
the Nonpartisan membership. Re-
peated statements that no paper in
Idaho has ever fought the, farmer OF
his interest in this effort to stamp
out one of the fore paws of Socialism
arouse Nonpartisan leaders to new ef-
forts to saddle false charges upon the
disagreeing press. And their most
effective method is by repeating and
repeating the utterly. false charges
that newspapers are engaged in a
great combined effort to down the
farmer. And they have kept so per-
sistently and everlastingly at it that
there are farmers who have permitted
that poisonous propaganda to seep
in until they are blinded to fact. No
person familiar with southern Idaho
would dare contend that this section
could long survive. in its present state
of prosperity without the farmer. II
there is any business which can hope
to long survive in the face of united

farmers condemnation, that business
has not been admitted to this district.
Even if they chose, Idaho newspapers
could not fight farmers More than
that they never will, because they do
not so choose.
What Idaho papers have been doing
is this; they have and will continue to
fight the ideas embodied in the Non
partisan leagues Socialistic platform
and they will continue to expose the
disloyalty of Nonpartisan leaders as
being unfit for any American to fol-
low. Townley has been convicted of
attempting to impede the operation of
the draft law. In the civil court he
has been convicted of crime that
borders of treason and which, in a
military court, would have meant
either death or life imprisonment in
Leavenworth at hard labor, shorn of
citizenship for all time, branded for
life. 1t is Townley and his ilk, not
the farmers, who have, we believe,
been misled into joining Townley's
organization, that The Tribune is
| fighting.
Nonpartisan leaders cry about the
kept press" Such word is a dream.
No nation of people so enlightened
as those of the United States could
long exist with a press that was sub
servient to the will even of the gov
eminent. But while the league cries,
in North Dakota every paper which
will not do the bidding of the league
is already out of business or is hang
ing on the ragged edge Of bankruptcy.
This is because the league selects an
official paper in every Nonpartisan
controlled county and virtually drives
the other and unfriendly papers out
of business.
Wednesday The Tribune was po-
litely informed that it should get on
the band wagon because unless it
did SO when the league came into con-
troll it would be wrecked financially.
With this paper were mentioned the
Leader Herald of Nampa and The
Statesman. We believe it. In other
words, we are fighting for existence

CARELESS CYCLISTS.

No better evidence is required of
the necessity of enforcing the city
traffic ordinance than the large num-
Der of too enthusiastic Automobiles
who have fallen into the hands of the
city police since motor cop has been
designated to stop fragrant attractions
of the law. But there is one phase of
Caldwell traffic conditions which may
be overlooked and that is the increas-
ing tendency of boys and girls on by
cycles to ignore every reasonable pre-
caution in riding on the streets.
Not only do the children invite dis
aster by turning sharply in any direc-
ton on the street and frequently in
the face of rapidly moving automo-
biles but their misuse of the sidewalks
for thoroughfares has reached the
state where pedestrians are expected
to yield the right of way to them. :
Possibly the difficulty is with par
ents who have neglected to call the
attention of their children not only
to the fact that they are violating the
law but that they are almost hourly
inviting accident. As to the former,
one of the first principles of citizen
ship which should be impressed upon
young America is a proper obedience
Of law. Home is the proper starting
place for this education. And surely
no parent has so little regard for the
physical welfare of his child that he
will knowingly permit the child to
invite accident on Caldwell streets.

A HOME BOOSTER.

Undoubtedly some scheme will be
worked out at the next session of con-
gress to provide funds for reclama-
ton, not only of the arid west, but OF
cut-over timber and swamp lands as
we'll. The nation needs greater agri-
cultural productivity and the best way
to get it is by increasing the coun-
try's agricultural acreage. If appro-
priations are made for anything other
than conducting government and
meeting outstanding obligations, it is
safe to say that reclamation will be
recognized.
Idaho is intensely interested in
reclamation. With many thousands
of acres in the immediate proximity
of Caldwell and the Boise valley wait
ing the magic touch of water, every
interest here hangs on each whisper
of promise from Washington.
Idaho is going into a political cam
paign which promises to be a bitter,
hard fought contest Particularly is
this true since the Republicans have
chosen to nominate Frank Gooding, a
VIGOROUSLY hard fighter, for the
United States senate. Whatever his
most bitter opponents may say against
Mr.. Gooding, every one of them must
admit that he, above perhaps anyone
else in the state, knows and appreci-
ates Idaho's problems. In the senate
he would be work horse, true
fighter, for the things this state needs.
A vote for Frank Gooding is a boost
for the development of Idaho.
