REED ANNOYED
BY COX STAND
Senator'S Statement Indi-
Gates He Probably Will
Stay in Party.
CBy Universal Service.D

Dayton. Ohio. Aug. 9.-Win Sem
ator Reed, of Missouri. bitter-end
opponent of the league of nations,
support the candidacy of Gov. Cox
or bolt the Democratic party?
This question was the absorbing
topic of conversation among party
leaders here tonight after Senator
Reed had left for his home in Kan
sas City without making known
his attitude
The statement issued by the Sen
ator and conversations he had with
party leaders and newspaper corre-
spondents Indicated that he would
not bolt, although there is no doubt
he was displeased with the candi-
dates position on the league of
nations issue.
His statement follows:
1T now seems plain that nobody
is in favor of the league covenant
as it was brought here and pre-
sented to the Senate. Everybody
admits it has to be changed Tho
truth is it has been literally shot
fun of holes. Nobody dare any
longer sponsor it as presented
Some are in favor of one change
some arc in favor of fifteen oil
twenty changes. Some are against
it altogether. But nobody is will
! ing TO take it without some changes
"Evidently we are making fine
/ progress. The longer it is discussed
| the more changes the people favor
/ The critics of the league have beer
vindicated."

SHOWS
SLUMP IN EAST
Car Miles Per Car Day
Improves in West and
South.
public Ledger Service.D

A general improvement in the
freight car service of Southern At
lantiC and Western railroads and a
decline in public service rendered
by Eastern roads is noted in a re-
port made public by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The report shows that the aver
age car-miles per car day for the
first five months of this year have
increased on the Southern Atlantic
and Western roads and decreased
on the Eastern roads.
The statistics on the average car
miles per day are viewed as par
ticularly important considering the
present shortage of cars. The Com
mission has set thirty miles as the
average which every freight carry
ing car should cover in a day
When that average has been at
tanned by the railroads, it is said
that the Commission will be in a
better position to solve the nitric
acies involved in the shortage OF
cars.

ON RAILROAD BUILDING

Rumors of railroad building have
been so frequent in Idaho for many
years, and have With very few ex-
ceptions terminated in naught, that the
public hesitates to put much credence
in reports coming from Boise, indicat-
ing that extension of the Camas Prai-
RE railroad to New Meadows will be
forced
Yet legislation enacted by the CON
gress of the United States, prior to re
turn of the railroads by the federal
government to their owners, on March l,
last, empowers the interstate commerce
commission to force necessary railroad
construction.
Many straw railroads have been
built in central Idaho. They have been
built up the Salmon river to connect
with the Pittsburg & Gilmore, at
Salmon City, they have been built up
Snake river from Lewiston, and they
have been built through the Lolo
pass. Yet, they have not been built,
and are no nearer actual construction
then they were ten or twenty years
ago
1t must be admitted on all sides,
even by those who are bent upon sew
ing up the resources of central Idaho
that additional railroad construction
in Idaho county would be to the pub
lie good Transportation by permanent
highways and railroads is essential I
to adequate development of the Ia
tent resources of Idaho county, and
until the country in all its virgin
splendor is opened to the outside
