FROM Standpoint comes
word of the revival of the oft
proposed formation of a new
state to include the ten north
ern counties of Idaho, to-
gether with other parts OF
what is called the Inland En-
pire. There are many diff
culties in the way of realizing
this golden dream, but if the
best interests of the territory
that would make up the new
commonwealth were alone
considered, those difficulties
would not stand a moment
but would crumble away like
an ice jam in the spring time.

THE non-arrival of federal
road funds the past two years
to aid in state projects in
Idaho does not necessarily
mean that the funds allotted
will not eventually be paid
over. But it appears that the
state has been somewhat wild
in its expectations and is
doomed to disappointment in
SO far as the sums expected
were not allotted by the gov
eminent and therefore cannot
be counted on. With only
its own bond issue, county
issues and the federal funds
actually allotted to depend on
for the present biennium, it
would seem that the states
road building operations will
have to be slowed down and
the program extended over a
longer period of time.
