Many From Idaho Schools.

1t is interesting to note what a
large part the educational institutions
of Idaho are playing in the training
of teachers of the public schools. Be-
sides Superintendent Lukens, who
was graduated from the University Of
Idaho in 1908, three other graduates
of the state university are on the
high school faculty, says the Idaho
County Free Press. They are Ennis
Massey, of the class Of 1917, Thurlyn
Shrontz and Miss Olive Merritt, of
the class of 1921. Mr.. Massey, since
his graduation, has been in the u S.
navy, and also has taught manual
training and coached atheletics for
two years in the state of Washing
ton. He is to hold similar position
here.

JuL|AETIA MELONS ARE
FIRST SHIPMENT OF YEAR

A big refrigerator car loaded with
Juliaetta grown watermelons was
loaded out from that town yesterday
by G. H. Hamm, of Lewiston, fol-
Great Falls, Montana. The growers
were Walter Cochran and B. 9.
Custer. 1t is significant that, while
seven or eight carloads of water
melons are raised at Juliaetta each
year, and this season was no excep-
tion to the rule-yet this is the first
load of melons to go by rail this
year-the increased freight rates
having been prohibitive The rest of
the melons this season went by
trucks to the many towns of the In
land Empire including Troy, Mos
cow. Bovill, Deary, Potlatch, Palouse,
Pullman, Garfield and Colfax. Julia

The Juliaetta melons are all grown
without irrigation, and their tine
flavor and high percent OF sugar
make them most popular. Juliaetta
growers are now beginning to

from being classed with melons

Troubles OF Year

statement to employees of the
Sheet and Tube Company, the largest
employer Of labor in the Mahoning and
Shenango Valley, reads:
The year 1921 was not a pleasant
one for workers in the steel industry,
nor for most Of those who work and
conduct business of one kind or an
other in this country. 1t was one of
the worst years from an industrial
standpoint that the iron and steel in
dustry has ever known.
"The scarcity of work and the great
reduction in earnings seemed even
worse than they were when compared
with conditions for several years past,
and it required good deal of philoso-
ply to accept them without complaint.
Nevertheless, we can find some com
fort in the fact that these conditions
were general and everybody had to
suffer from them in about the same
degree Where wages were not reduced
there was little work, and where peo-
pie did not have to labor, but de-
pended on dividends, they suffered even
more than the man whose capital is his
labor.
"Not a steel company in the United
States made any money i'll 1921. On
the other hand, many of them lost
vast amounts. The balance sheets of
many large companies will show an
actual loss of millions Of dollars. Only
the fact that all of them had enjoyed
prosperity for several years previous
prevented absolute bankruptcy in many
cases"
New-York tribune., 1921-12-25
Needs Of the Country

Conditions III regard to the need 10
additional railroad building hav'
changed little since January, 1920. Tn
der government operation the railroad!
were divided into seven grand di
visions, and these divisions make ;
convenient basis for the study of TIL:
railroad needs of the country. The
Eastern region included three district!
the New England district, the cen
tral Eastern district and the Ohio
Indiana district.
Except for Maine, the New England
district is not in need of additiona
railroad mileage. This was the con
sensus of opinion of railroad men anc
state commissioners in 1920, and i;
even more emphatically the opinion o1
these men to-day With the develop
ment of the motor truck New England
is finding it almost impossible to sup
port the railroad mileage that she now
has. There are some parts of Maine
largely agricultural districts, which lie
north of the Canadian Pacific. The
Canadian Pacific line runs east anc
west, dividing the state almost in two
1t is q question, however, whether even
this territory could not be better de
extension of motor truck service for
farm products than through the build
ing of new railroads.
In the central, the Ohio-Indiana dis
tricts, and the Allegheny region. which
include New York, Pennsylvania, and,
besides Ohio and Indiana, also Michi-
gan, the only need for any railroad
milage is the extension of branches in
to coal fields which have not hereto
fore been developed. This means that
at most. a few hundred miles of line
would be built in these states, probably
less than one hundred year.
South of the Eastern region was the
Pocahontas region. This includes Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and
Tennessee. There are considerable
districts in this region which are SUI
fering from lack of transportation IA
cilities, but the traffic that they have
to offer does not, in my opinion,
justify even inexpensive railroad build
ing. Where new lines can be extended
into coal fields or mineral regions, the
class OF traffic thus secured justified
ever, the road is dependent almost en-
out and farmers supplies moving in,
operating expenses and interest on the
Investment are unlikely to be earned.
The southern region included the ter
ritory southeast of the southern border
OF western Maryland, extending from
Louisville and Memphis to New Or
leans. In general, what has been said
III regard to lines in the Pocohontas
region to develop new agricultural ter
ritory applies also to the southern re-
gion. There is an area in North Caro-
lima, which lies between the cities Of
Wilson, Rocky Mount, Henderson, Wei
don, Raleigh, Goldsboro, Newborn and
Wilmington which is in need of local
service, and it might be profitable to
extend short line road. the Dover &
Southbound, to the Atlantic Coast Line,
but in the whole southern region there
are more railroad facilities than the
traffic of the country would Justify.
New-York tribune., 1921-12-25
NelU Era

Intensive development, of the substi-
tuting of some other form of trans
portation for steam railwav transpor-
tation, is the present necessity in the
territory served by the Pennsylvania
system, and there probably are not
many railroad systems of two thou
sand miles in length for which the
managements do not have plans for ad-
ditional sidetracks, additional second
track, new railroad shops, new yards
improved terminals, etc. From this
point of view American railroad devel-
opment is very far from having reached
the limits of its possibilities.
For instance, the New York. New
Haven &, Hartford. poor as it has been
has built two large yards in recent
years and Is continuing to make sucn
changes in its terminals, etc, as VII
permit more economical operation or
viii relieve congestion. The Southern
Railway situation has previously been
mentioned. IN the Middle West. even
on such a road as the Burlington
where great sums of money, taken from
net earnings, have been pat back into
the property to pay for additional ia
cilities which would tend toward more
economic operation. there are literally
hundreds of projects for alterations
and betterments. One hears more about
such projects Oh the strong roads
which have a possibility of actually
carrying out the projects than on the
weak roads. but there is ample evi-
dence that the weaker roads need ad-
ditional shop facilities and better ter
minal facilities even more acutely than
the stronger roads.
The most fsrreaching development
of existing railroad facilities is through
electritication. There are five completed
electrihcations of portions Of steam
railroads-the New York Central ana
the New Haven electrications, the Nor
folk & Western clectrification over the
main summit of the Alleghanies, about
130 miles west of Roanoke. the two
Western divisions Of the Chicago. NIL
waukee e. st. Paul and the Pennsyi-
vania's eectrification, which includes
part of the Long Island. its ilne

delphia as far as Paoli and the Ches''

devclopment OF railroads.
In America an industry which is not
developing is almost certainly on the
decline, and applying this to the rail
road situation there are two questions
which should be answered: Is there any
likelihood within the next ten years of
there being expansion in railroad build
ing, and, if the prospects are that no
railroads will be built, is this because
the country does not need them or be
cause capital for such enterprises can
extension has stopped mean that the
industry has stopped developing?
At the termination Of government
operation of the railroads / had oc-
casion to make a comprehensive study
in connection with John Little, of the
engineering staff Of "The Railway Age, y
of the possibility of any railroad ex-
tension in the near future and the
need therefor. The net result Of that
study, in my opinion, was that, with
few exceptions, the country needed not
more railroads, but less railroads.
AS matter of fact there has been
worldwide overdevelopment of trans
portation facilities. We have too many
ships. Canada is overburdened with
railroads. In Australia, whore the
raliroaus are pulit by lhe government
and where railroad building is a po-
litical question, the building of uneco-
nomical lines has gone ever further
than it has in Canada. 1t behooves
Americans south of the Canadian bor-
der to give careful consideration to the
almost dangerous situation into which
Canada has got through too much rail-
way building. 1t is probable that the
taxes to pay the overhead on the Ca
madam national railways, which consti-
tute about one-half of the tota& rail-
road mileage Of Canada, will amount to
nearly $40 per inhabitant-man, woman

New-York tribune., 1921-12-25

tion also to the treasury bills, which
their holders can turn into cash at all
early date if they want to. If the cx-
change value of the mark remains at
its present level and German internal
prices become adjusted to it, far
greater volume Of notes than hitherto
will be required to carry on the bust
ness of the country. Bankers and
others hold as little as possible Of their
liquid resources in notes, which carry
no interest, and the balance in treasury
bills. If prices rise violently they will
have to turn more of their treasury
bills into notes. This will appear in a
corresponding increase Of the Reichs
count and Of it's holding of treasury
bills on the other side. Thus the in
creased note issue may be far greater
than the new imitation occasioned by
the governments currency deficit, and
may reflect the preeXisting potential
imitation of past unfunded debt. The
increased note issue will, therefore, be
better described az a result of the COL
lapse Of the exchange than the other
way round; and it will be quite outside
the control of the government. which
would have no remedy except refusal
to meet its treasury bills on maturity
Outside Holdings
Earlier in the year the amount of
German banknotes and bank balances,
held more or less speculatively outside
Germany, was estimated at fifty mil
lard paper marks. At the rate of ex-
change then prevailing, of $50 marks
to the pound, these holdings came to
the formidable figure of s200,0O 900
Now they are worth little more than
S40000,00o, a much more manageable
figure. Ii the foreign holdings were
bought 1T an average exchange of 200
(and large part was bought at lower
,ate than this), the spectators have at
present prices lost something like
1200,000,0O0.
SO far, therefore, foreign spectators
have not only paid the whole of the
indemnity up to date, but much more
besides. No wonder that the specu-
lative market is upset. The position is
very artificial though l do not believe
q word of the silly stories that sthe
German government could be SO bold
or so mad as to engineer on purpose
what will in the end be a great catas-
trophe for their own people. whether
the mark reacts or falls further.
New-York tribune., 1921-12-25
Lo'ver Freight Costs

Lower costs of transportation are
among the matters of moment that add
hope of better business in some lines
after the coming of the year. In agri.
culture 1T means moderate increase
OF price to the farmer, although not
necessarily to the consumer of farm
nNodvats.
Industrial life, where now active
adds distinctly to the welfare of some
communities. There has been better
business recently in many scattered
localities where shoe factories are full
of work. or because of the presence of
furniture factories that are fairly
busy. Throughout the nation local in
dustries of one kind or another are
the saving grace of an otherwise in
tolcrablc situation.
The universal feeling is shat there
can be no better times that ..re endur-
ing or worth while until the prices Of
farm products advance materially or
else the prices of other commodities
decline proportionately.
New-York tribune., 1921-12-25
Spectators i'm Marks
Pay German Indemnify

Foreign spectators in German mark
exchange have not only paid the whole
OF the German indemnity up to date,
but much more besides, in the opinion
of j. M. Keynes, author of the Geo
nomic Consequences of the Peace" who
declares in an article in "The Man
chester Guardian" that the record de-
probation of the market has been
largely due in its later stages to sell
ing by spectators who bought at
higher levels.
ut is very dangerous position. "
says Mr.. Keynes, "for the currency Of
any country to be held abroad in vast
amounts by persons who entertain
erroneous ideas about its future value.
When once these preconceived ideas
are thoroughly upset they discover that
I..ey have no rational Idea whatever as
to what their holding may be worth.
and they fling it on the market accord .
ingly.
The future value of the mark now
depends on the policy of the Allies.
which | shall not attempt to forecast.
But as recent movements have loosened
everybody's ideas from their previous
moorlngs, and these are all at sea. it is
useful to steady ourselves by looking
again at some of the facts.
Imitation i'm Germany
"Ihe existing imitation in Germany is
usually measured by the volume of the
kelchsbank's note issue. This is a it,
tie misleading. We have to paw atten-
