HELPING SOME

"Truckportation" is'a newly coined
word which promises to come ulti-
mately into general and popular use.
1t should. The word is expressive
and worthy.
Never in the history of the United
States have larger sums been spent
on roads and highways. Never, with
the poor railroad service, particularly
in the east, incidental to the switch
mans strike and an acute shortage
of freight cars to meet an increasing
demand, have trucks been called upon
to care for SO large a share of the
transportation of the country. In
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1920-07-20

deed. the railroads of the east are
daily seeing their legitimate business
going to trucks.
Trucks have a real function in the
country's scheme of transportation.
But they are not designed to make
long trips with freight which can be
handled more rapidly and cheaper by
railroads. 1t is on the short haul that
the truck is supreme, where truck
portation" come into its own. Good
roads over the country make it more
possible for the farmer to market his
product, give him a wider field for
the disposition of his crops. At the
same time, railroads, badly congested
as they are, can be only too glad to
be relieved of some of this response
bility of the short haul. 1t means
more cars for the field where railroads
will continue to ramain supreme.
If we can't have an adequate sup
ply of freight cars, we can do great
deal to fill the void by making more
and better roads. Trucks and good
roads are an essential of the nations
transportation facilities.

ANGLES OF PREPAREDNESS

Something more than note of op-
tomism prevailed among those Boise
Valley citizens who accompanied mem
bers of the appropriations committee
of the house of representatives over
the Boise-Payette project Saturday.
no time of the year could the men
who hold the destiny of the west in
their hands have cisited the project
when conditions were more opportuns
for bringing forcibly home to them
the necessity and value of reclamation
appropriations.
Saturdays trip must have been an
eye opener. Crops were in full YER
due, grain fields, giving indications OF
maximum yields, are approaching
harvest stages, acres of potato land
await only the digger and the refrig-
orator car and irrigation bitches are
still carrying almost a maximum flow
Of the precious life-giving water. If
there is any lesson in contrast, visit
ing congressman must have been i'm
pressed with the marked difference
between the productive acres they saw
uEde, the Boise Payette project and

A FREE REIN

Canyon county can expect an ade-
quate supply OF refrigerator cars tor
handling the potato crop this season,
accordin gto }. A. Reeves, general
freight agent Tor the Oregon Short
Line. At least, everything possible IS
being done to prevent duplication OF
last seasons disaster.
At least one factor makes this year S
outlook more optomistic that last
years. Under the railroad admins
tration, the chief difficulty resulted
from the inability Of the producer to
convince federal railroad officials early
enough that early potatoes is per-
ishable crop, entitled to refrigerator
freight service. This light will not
have been duplicated. If there are
sufficient available refrigerator cars
to move this crop, they will be sup
piled.
Of course, it is freely admitted that
there is a pressing shortage, not only
Of refrigerator cars, but all others.
Railroads could easily use 100000 Cars
of various kinds. And they are not
under construction or even contem-
plated for construction in the near
future. The $1,000 cars of air de-
scriptions to be delivered for US this
year is mere drop in the bucket.
Western conditions, however, are
good. The O. S. L. is virtually free
of freight congestion. In the eastern
industrial centers, this situation is re-
versed. On some lines, only essen
tials are moved at all and thousands
of cars are idle, swamped in the big
railroad terminals. Many manufac-
turers are~ha,iling steel to New York
and~New England in trucks because
the railroads cannot handle quantity
shipments expeditiously.
Automobile manufacturers are ship
ping thousands of cars under their
own motive power. Railroads and
; freight are resorted to only where the
distance and roads made the former
method prohibitive.
The United States has truly won
derful transportation system but It
has not kept pace with the country.
One of the visiting congressman Sat-
uray remarked that he had recently
priced sweet cherries in New York.
They were selling at SIPS per pound.
And Saturdays press dispatches con-
veyed in the interesting contrast that
cherries in the Willamette valley were
drug on the market and were being
offered, almost without buyers, at two
cents per pound.
OF course, no freight rate can &C
count for such discrepancies. The
The only possible solution lies in the
fact that the railroads cannot handle
the crops. Transportation by rail
cannot always be relied upon to bring
producer and consumer together. The
railroads are prabably as good as they
were 10 years ago. The are certainly
as we'll managed. But they have not
kept pace with the constantly increas-
ing demand made upon their service.
And they never will until they arc
once moSe put back on a business ba-
sis, basis where they can attract
capital, insure decent return on money
invested in them and with sufficient
additional income to provide for es-
sential expansion. Less muddling and
meddling and more freedom to con-
duct their own railroads need.
If Canyon county this summer mar
kets her potato crops and has always
sufficient refrigerator cars. she can
count herself fortunate.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, May 27.-Disaster said
to have been suffered by the Aus
tralian wheat crop as result of
drought had notable bullish influ-
ence today on the corn market
here. Closing prices of corn. how
ever, were unsettled, varying from
sc net decline to ZEE advance,
with July s16Sh to $1.6SA and
September $1.557s to $1.56A. Oats
finished sc 20 11ac down. In pro-
visions the. outcome ranged from
Acc decline to rise Of 2kc.
Reports that the Australian
wheat yield would not amount to
enough for home consumption at
tracted special attention as appar-
emily meaning the second consec-
utive virtual crop failure in Aus
tralia. The inference was drawn
that except Argentina, the only
real competitor Of North America as
an exporter of wheat had thus been
eliminated. Previous to notice of
this situation, the corn market had.
been weak owing to gossip that
more corn was being offered by
rural shippers than had been the
case before for weeks. After the
Australian news became current,
however, the buying side of the
corn market showed unusual snap
until the last hour. Then heavy
sales to realize profits made prices

LEGION CHAPTER WILL
 BE STARTED IN LONDON

LONDON.--The founding of a London chapter of the American Legion has been officially sanctioned by the National Council of the le- zion. Edward Cantor, American Le- zion commissioner for Europe, has received q charter from America.
 Many former members of the Am crican eXpeditionary force have been enrolled. The chapter is to take over the Washington Inn, the fam ous hostelry for American officers on leave from France to London, the object being to keep the vet erans in touch with one another. There are accommodation for 100 men, a place thus being provided for visiting members of the Ameri- can chapters when in London.
 Lady Waldorf Astor is a patroncss of the new chapter.
