STACKER LISTS RECEIVED BOISE

The United States government
Stacker lists" for several Idaho
counties have been received at the
office of the state headquarters of
the American Legion, it was amour
ced last week by Lester r. Albert,
state adjutant. AS soon as the list
is complete for every county steps
will BIO taken by the legion to pub
lish the names, he announced.
Z. Before the names OF men accused
of evading tho draft. are published
broadcast, however. it is the purpose
OF the American Legion to mako a
complete check of each man listed.
We want to preclude every pos
sibility of having tho name OF some
man brought into the public eye in
this light unless his name should DO
there" said Mr.. Albert. Local
posts will be asked to cooperate
with the state department in efforts
to make positively sure that the pub
lished list will be correct.
Should the name of man appear
wrongfully on the Stacker" lists, the
state department of the legion in
tends to give the fact the broadcast
publicity in order that the uninten-
tional wrong may be righted, IL is

OF FREIGHT
RATES OF IDAHO PRODUCE
BY H. M. Adams


Vice-President U. P. System In charge
of Traffic
There has been no more serious
problem confronting western ship
pers than their requirements for
higher efficient service in the trans
uortation of perdshable and semi
perishable products to the eastern
markets, and 1t was necessary for the
western rail carriers after construct
ng and equipping their railroads, to
not only provide refrigerator cars
required for the movement of the
traffic over their own roads, or, in
other words, their quota of the re-
quirement but to provide refriger-
ator cars to move the freight through
to destination over all the railroads
involved, the eastern and southern
connections having assumed no OBJ
legation and provided no refrigera-
tor cars for the safe movement OF
these crops especially.
Freight rates are not elastic, can
not be reduced and advanced at will
and there is no way In which the
rail carriers may insure a profit from
the operations OF the growers of per-
ishable products nor Is there any
way in which tho rail carriers may
so manipulate their charges as to
enable them to participate in tho
sacrifice of profit in lean years, nor
in excessive profit which may be
earned in fat years; nor is there any
way in which the rail carriers may
materially reduce the transportation
costs without a reduction in wages
it being wei known that labor costs
now constitute a very large percent.
age of the transportation expenses
of the rail carriers.
Economics to BIO Enforced
Economics are and will be exercls-
ed wherever possible, probably to q
greater degree in the business Of
transportation by rail than in any
other business, but with the insis
tent demand for improved passenger
service and faster freight schedules
1t is difficult to see wherein a re
duction in transpS rtation costs il
to come about excepting by reduc
ton of wages.
Tho rate OF wages Of railroad EN-
ployes now paid was fixed by the
government railroad labor board
cannot be changed by railroad man

able that there will be a readjust

are that the government shall recog-
nize the fact that 1t is as much a fed-
eral function to cooperate with the
states in road building as it is for
the states to aid their minor sub
divisions. We have passed the pc
riod in our national life when it
should be necessary to prove that
highways are arteries of trade of ma
Lional Importance. Our only con-
Germ should be to see that such leg
islation is enacted and enforced as
will conserve the public funds. guard
against political abuses and serve the
common good.

ment downward, possibly i'm the near
future, II is impossible at this time
to anticipate such reductions and
base reduced freight rates thereon.
Will Mako Read iuStments.
While requests for reduced rates
on fruit and vegetables from western
points to the far east havo been de-
cIined, the rail carriers interested in
the movements of the traffic ara not
without a full realization of the inn
portance of the continuation OF the
industry Of producing these products

1t will not in my judgment be oHt
of place to call attention to the fact
that the demand for reduced freight
rates is not confined to perishable
products OF the soil. nor to products
OF the soil as a whole. but the de-

We should not forget, in our anx-
iety to bring about a reduction in
transportation charges, the necessity
for an efficient rail transportation
system within this country. Notwith-
standing the fact that. there is sur
plus of transportation facilities avail
able at this time, a resumption OF
business activity would very soon
again establish the fact that more,
rather than less, transportation facfl-
tiles are NECESSARY to insure the
prompt movement OF freight traffic
as required by the public in times
when business is good.
