Peay Opposed to
Woman Suffrage

Austin Peay, Democratic candl-
date for Governor, was one OF the
bitterest opponents of woman sui
frage in the State. The heat OF his
utterances against giving women
the vote was almost enough to melt
even the frigid dignity OF the CLARK
sville statesman. But now that the
women have the vote, Mr.. Peay
would have them forget how vigor'
ously he fought them, and go to the
polls and vote for him. Women are
taking more interest in politics than
Mr.. Peay gives them credit for, and
they have better memories than he
thinks they have. They are going
to vote, all right, but the majority
of them are not going to vote for
Mr.. PeaV.

simultaneously, the general economic
condition of the country.
Indicative of the confidence in the
future then and predicting greater
demands upon this system than have
yet been made, is the determination
OF the Oregon Short Line to double
track a large section of its system in
and out of Glenns Ferry. Not less
than a million and a half dollars. it
is officially reported, will be spent on
Medbury and King Hill grades this
spring and summer.
This money is not being thrown
away. Railroads are built only when
demands compel it. And this work
alone is sufficient indication that the
Oregon Short Line, at least, expects
Idaho to be forging forward at full
speed in the immediate future.
Here is evidence close at home that
better times are coming.

Not too Early.

For two years railroads have had
little or no difficulty supplying cars
to fill all demands. Agricultural
shippers in this district have been
lulled into the belief that the day of
intense warfare for cars is of the past.
But the truth is that railroads have
been able to meet demands simply be-
cause of nationwide business stag
nation. 1t was not increased facili-
ties, efficient handling or any other
strictly railroad cause which made
cars, if not plentiful, at least ade-
quate.
The economic history of the United
States demonstrates that every boom

age. Business is definitely on the up
grade today. And just as certainly a
car shortage impends.

Coming and Going.

Gem district farmers have reason
to feel aggrieved at the action of the
Caldwell Traction company in hold
ing up the construction of the Home
dale extension, a project that would
provide that district with long sought
transportation facilities. Surely no
one will have the temerity to argue
that farmers of that district have not
always acted in good faith, and those
familiar with conditions in the upper
Gem know that a railroad is almost
vital necessity.
Not SO long ago that we can for
get, Riverside and upper Gem farmers
made almost every possible overture
to the traction company, seeking an
extension of that line to the Pickle
Butte bridge-or bridge site, as it was
then. For reasons that are hardly
pertinent to the present controversy,
that line was not extended 1t was
only when all hope was abandoned
for this extension that farmers turned
naturally to the only other possible
source of relief, the Oregon Short
Line.
Had the traction line been extend
ed, the effort to obtain an extension
of the Nyssa-Homedale branch would
never have been made. This fact
should not be forgotten. The traction
company today is suffering because
of its own inability to provide facili-
ties for its legitimate trade territory
From every angle, while railroads
war, farmers appear to be only the
goats.
