Doctor Kept Him Home.
Congressman BIanton told the
committee that Reed had endeavored
TO get in touch with Chairman
Focht all morning but had failed.
Focht did not reach his office until
IL o'clock, the time set for the
meeting. Reed then called Blan-
ton on the phone and explained to
him that, while he felt well enough
to attend the session. his physician
had ordered him to remain indoors.
Blanton told the committee that
Reed should be shown the same
courtesy. which has been shown
other congressman in a similar po-
sition in the past.
The vote was as follows: For

Some of the committee members

that they favored representation for

Among them were congressman
Focht and Gilbert. Their idea,

Boise-Receipts totaling more
than 100000 were received from the
eight land and timber sales recently
conucted by 1. H. Nash, state land
commissioner, in seven north Idaho
counties. The commissioner sold
1910 acres of land and 1900 acres of
timber. In Boundary county go acres
of land brougt an average of SIT an
acre; 500 acres of land in Bonner
county sold for an average price of
$40 and acre. Timbered lands total
ing $40 acres in Kootenai county
were sold for $SO22.5O. Mr. Nash ex-
planned that this was cut-over land,
the virgin timber having been sold
from the same land more than 10
years ago. The recent sale, how
ever, brought more money than the
virgin timber.
Eighteen hundred acres of timber
in Benewah county brought 24,725;
Latah county land totaling 800 acres
was sold for an average of $13 an
acre. In Clearwater county $40 acres
of land was sold for a average of
$40 an acre. In the same county 600
acres of timber brought $27,953.75.
In Shoshone county $50 acres of tim
ber was sold for $23,455.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS EXPERTS
ANALYZE VARIOUS NATION
AL FINANCES

Geneva-(A. PIN view of the
present plans to hasten settlement
of the reparations problem, with the
cooperation, if possible, of the United
States, special interest attaches to 6
review of the financial position of Ia
countries, mostly European, together
with certain remarks on the German
reparation question, contained in a
memorandum issued by the League OF
Nations.
The report shows that in most coun-
tries a retrenchment policy has been
adopted and considerable savings
have been effected, although the ever
increasing burden of the public debt
has in many cases swallowed up
what may have been saved by cutting
down the administration. The de-
Velopment of the public debt has
been compared with the changes in
the price level, i. e., the nominal
amount of the debt has been divided
by the wholesale price index number,
and in this way reduced to pre-war
price Level When this is done it is
seen that the French debt has risen
to three times the amount of the pre-
war debt, the British debt to seven
times amount and the American debt
to 13 times the amount of the pre-
war debt
At the same time, it is pointed out
that before the war France had. per

debt. 1t is rather remarkable, says
the report, that the two countries in
which the public debt shows the
greatest real increase are the only
countries which have been able to
make any substantial repayments of
their debts.
Leaving out of account Germany,
where the interior debt has been
practically wiped out by the enor-
nous initiation, the country which
boast the smallest increase in it's
public debts is Finland, and after Fin
land comes South Africa, Switzer-
land and Sweden
Special care has been taken to pre-
sent full information regarding for
eign debts and claims on foreign gov
ernments. The debt is shown both
in the currency in which it is pay
able and in domestic currency, the
rates Of conversion being indicated in
each case. The act passed by the

the British debt is quoted, and other
