mission for Idaho.
! The word of the regional board
since it's organization last June
has been to eliminate as much as
possible all trouble over securing ca
RS for agricultural shipments.It was
said Saturday that this section has
been the first in many years where
thereexisted no serious car shortage
in the movement of grain and live
stock, and but little shortage In the
movement of perishable crops.
Mr.. Shepherd, who was instrumental
along with Mr.. Gibson in securing
the meeting for Pocatello, in sta
tement Saturday said:
Endorsed By I. C. C.
"Our organization has the indorse-
ment of the interstate commerce COM
mission, as well as the utilities COM
missions of the several states. 1t Is In
position to ascertain the exact factors
relative to car service and Transports
ton, and it's representatives are, to a
large extent, relied upon in disposing
of the questions growing out Of car
service.
1.-THE board holds meetings every
second month, at which time all per-
sons having questions involved with
car service are most earnestly invited
to be present. Or person may axe
up his problems with the proper COM
mite, which will see that it is pre-
scented at the meeting.
"There are special problems in
Idaho growing out of the use Of re-
frigerator cars. This state Is large
producer of fruits and vegetables and
there is special committee having
to deal with car service for potatoes
alone.
Room for Improvement.
"While much was accomplished this
fall in car service, there is still much
room for Improvement, and 1t will be
very helpful to those responsible for
the movement Of refrigerator cars to
meet in conference with the shipper
who requires refrigerator service.
There are in the United States about
100000 refrigerator cars. There is
something more than 25 per cent Of
these cars owned by the Pacific Fruit
Express company. 1t is necessary to
move large per cent of the fruit and
vegetables of California, Oregon,
Washington, Utah, Colorado, Nebras-
ka and Idaho with these cars. Idaho
alone this year will have more than
$4,000 carload of fruit, vegetables and |
potatoes. 1t will readily be seen how
important it is that these cars be |
handled to the best advantage.
"The meeting at Pocatello will be
he first held west of the Rocky
1t should be understood
hat this organization has nothing to
10 directly with freight rates, except
hat the proper handling of cars will
Increase earning power by affording
more frequent loading and this in
urn will be important in the question

Commodity committees Of the Ida
70 division are as follows.

OPPOSE CHANCE IN PROHIBITION LAWS
Federal Council of Churches oI
 Christ Take Definite Stand

Washington. March 10.-Oppositior to any change in the prohibition law. to permit sale of beer and light wine. is expressed in statement issued to. day by the Federal Council oi Churches of Christ in America.
 The statement, based on action talk. en at a conference of religious or carnations called by the councils commission on temperance, which is headed by former Governor Carl E. Millilsen of Maine, asserts that such liberalization of the statutes would ef- feet a virtual nulliflcation" of the prohibition amendment. Declaring that the church has the same moral oblgation to finish Lhis task that it had to initiate it." the council adds that by every moral standard the buyer of illicit liquor is as guilty as the sellep."
 After three years" it says. 'it is demonstrated that prohibition has produced wide benefits despite diff 'ulties in enforcement and constant misrepresentation. xxx
 We call upon the Christian citizens of the nation to sustain the expressed purpose of the federal governnfent to enforce the law: to report violations of it to the proper officials as is their duty so declared by the United States Supreme court; and to support all To- cal, state and federal officers who obey and effectively enforce this law in accordance with their oath of ot- flee. x \ X
 The churches have special re- sponsibility to interpret to the people the meaning and demonstrated bene- fits of prohibition, to set forth the reasons for personal total abstinence, and to build on firm foundations re- spect for all law.
 The education and mobilization of l public conscience favorable to the .etention and enforcement of the law Ire fundamental to it's success.
 The churches of America were argely responsible for the creation of he public sentiment which resulted n the adoption of this amendment. | The church has continuing respon- ibility to create and maintain the ecessary public sentiment to enforce he prohibition law"
 Among the organizations which igned the statement are the Women's Temperance Union, the Ma ional Temperance Council, the Sci ptifc Temperance Federation, the committee on Public Morals of the Church in America, the So- ial Education Department of the .mercan Baptist Publication Society. he Baptist Brotherhood Federation, he American Baptist Home Mission ociety, the Presbyterian Board of the Methodist Episcopal oard of Temperance, Prohibition. nd Public Morals, the Social Service commission of the Methodist Episco- al Church, South, the Board on emperance and Social Welfare of the isciples of Christ, the Friends Board .
