Schools are FlOurishing.

DR.. Sisson declares that he is rapid
ly becoming familiar with the educa-
tional institutions of the state and
declares them to be in most flourish

board of education of Idaho would
probably meet the latter part of the
month but was non-committal on the
subject of president for the universi-
ty. "The state board has full confid-

until president is selected and as
a result the board is not rushing this
matter" said DR.. Sission.

Interesting Lecture.

Insect Pests" was the subject OF
an interesting lecture by Professor I.
H. Parks, field entomOlogist for the
university. He employed number
of huge charts to illustrate his talk,
showing the most dangerous pests and
how to exterminate them. His lecture
was one of the most popular that has
been heard thus far on the weeks
program.

Is Convincing Speaker.

Mr. Lingle is an interesting and
convincing speaker. He spoke of the
wonderful changes that have taken
place in the attitude of the Chinese to-
ward Christianity and all things for
eign in the past quarter century. Now
all doors are open and China is beg
ging for teachers and missionaries.
The Chinese government is sending a
hundred new students every year to
our American universities and col
leges. They are holding their own
here as students. A 16-year-old Chi
nese boy, former pupil of Mr.. Lingle,
last year stood at the head of his
class in Park College in English Ian
guage and literature.

Has Standing Offer.

John R. Mott has standing offer
from the Chinese government, of po-
,sitions for the pick of the American
university and college graduates on
the one condition that they be Christ
ians. The vice president of China is
Christian. Large numbers of the
officials of the new republic are
Christians. The common people are
discarding the idols. This does not
mean they are turning to Christianity,
but it does mean that unless we take
the Christian religion to them at
once, the Chinese at large will turn,
as did the Japanese, from their old
worship to atheism and infidelity.
Mr.. Lingle placed emphasis upon the
fact that the Chinese now realize that If
they would grow as a nation they must
elevate their women; and girls
schools are springing up galore. In
some provinces compulsory education
after the plan of that in our own
country, is being attempted. He also
said that sectarianism is being done
away with in China. At the last con-
ference of missionaries of all the diff
ferent denominations working in HUI
nan province, it was decided to drop
UNCONVENTIONAL lines and have one
ohuroh IN ba lxnoWn nc tha Chin oaa
Christian church.

LabOrs Not Completed.
The committee did not complete its
labors, school and road taxes only be-
ing touched in general and municipal
taxes being eliminated until some lat
er period. The meeting was opened
by President NJ. E. Lewis who stated
that the chamber of commerce was an
open forum for the discussion of topics
of public concern and could not as
sumo the responsibility for statements
made.
Mr.. Lewis said that the civic COM
mittee was named to investigate the
organization and operation of county,
school and city government as
means of improving them and to sug
gest changes in the laws if necessary.
He emphasized the Importance and
magnitude of the task and the care
necessary in collecting data and
drawing proper conclusions.
NOn-Partisan Probe.
He pointed out the fact that the in
vestigation and report was entirely
nom partisan, and stated that the
chair would hold any remarks tending |
to introduce politics into the discus
sion out of order.

subject matter to the public it is i'm |

Committee Summarizes.
THAT owing to the report made by
Mr.. Morgan at our previous meeting
and which has been largely published
the county an erroneous
idea has prevailed, that the action of
our county commissioners was ques-
Lionable in reference to the amount of
money which they had raised for 1913; I
hat unfortunately wrong basis was
assumed as to the cost of our county [
government and in making a compari-
son Herewith false conclusion was
'eached. The public was lead to be-
ieve that the cost of our county gov
,rnment had increased 100000 in 1913,
which is not true. The truth is that
he actual amount raised by the coun-
y commissioners over and above
What can be assumed to be an average
ost of government was approximate
v $4,000; that they were justified =,
n raising said amount to take care
# new expenditures and to take care :
f the deficit for 1912.
Why Taxes Increase. n
"That the great increase in the /
mount of taxes collected during the il
asst several years is due largely to t.
he ever increasing amounts being
oted by road and school districts, and
tiles and villages. The great increase S
an be attributed very largely to our f
wn initiative rather than to the coun- z
officer.
"That we have attempted to answer C
le following questions: Where does h
lr money go?' Are we obtaining full c;
alue for our money! Can we reduce h
lese expenditures? If SO, how?' In Of

Thornber Makes Talk.

In the tree selection varieties must
be chosen which are especially adapt
ed to the particular region in which
the orchard is located. For this Sec
ton Professor Thornber recommend
ed the planting of Johnathons, Rome

titudes and in irrigated sections he
would plant Winesaps, Spitzenburgs
and Yellow Newtowns, while for al
titudes somewhat higher that the Pa

Norway and Sweden
May Form Alliance

STOCKHOLM. July 1.-THE campaign
Ior an alliance between Norway and swe-
den continues without dissenting note.
Prominent politicians OF all parties are
advocating such a course on the public
platforms and In the newspapers. The
movement, however. still lacks any Off
ciai action.
Sven Hedin. the Swedish explorer. and
siguld Isben have exchanged visits be-
tween Stockholm and Christianla, and
each has found public sentiment sgree-
able TO the proposed alliance. The ir
reeoncilable differences which led to tho
disruption Of the union between the twl
countries in 1905 and which barely es-
Caped causing war seem 20 have smoothed
out 90 the extent at least that both peo-
piles desire to unite in defensive alliance
against possible Russian aggression.
The increase IN the army and navy OF
Sweden. instead OF exciting the concern
of Norway. is greeted there with the ut.
most satisfaction. Il Is said, and Norway
itself has strong movement under way
for an increase In armaments. lsoen
in his lectures here. has argued that the
two foreign offices and the general staff,
should have some formal arrangement for
working together in case OF war.
