FRANCE AND CHINA
APPEAR TO BE IN A
HOPELESS MIDDLE

Picking, Dec. 25.--France and China
have become involved in a hopeless
diplomatic muddle as result Of the
forcible seizure by France of an adj
dition to its concession in Tien- Tsin
on oct. q, as previously reported in
these dispatches.
Sir John Jordan, the British minis
ter and dean of the diplomatic corps
at Picking, attempted to bring about a
compromise by proposing to convert
the disputed territory, which consists
of about $50 acres, into a Sino- French
settlement to be administered jointly
by the French and the Chinese.
The Chinese press and much of the
Chinese public opposed such a settle
ment. and criticism Of the French Off
cials was SO harsh that the negotiations
came to an end. The British minister
has left for England on a four months
vacation, and the Tien-Tsin dispute
is at a standstill.
Spasdomic runs have been made by
Chinese on French banks both in Pc
king and Tien-Tsin, and many of the
Chinese newspapers are advocating a
general boycott against the French.

RADICAL CHANGES IN
EDUCATION PLANNED

Rome. Italy. Dec. 25.-Some changes
in the Italian educational system after
the war are proposed by the minister
of public instruction, Leonardo Bianchi,
himself former professor who says
that the public school and university
must be readapted to the life of the
nation. Let us hope" he says, that
the war will bring us a clearer national
conscience and a more proper concep-
tion of the application of science to
education.
In the past the university has been
used too exclusively for purely profes-
sional careers, without taking account
OF the vast growing activities of hui
manity. The future of the world lies
along material lines. and these univer-
stiles must do their share in indus
trialiZing science"

FARMERS OPPOSE
COMMISSION idea
Latah County Union Objects
to Proposal to Give Aid
to the State Supreme
Court.

The proposal to create a commission
ture the object of which is to assist the
supreme court Of this state to dispose
of a large number of appeals pending
for hearing, does not meet with the APP
prevail of the Latah County Farmers
union. That organization has adopted
set of resolutions protesting against
the proposed act. 1t is claimed such q
movement, il carried to a successful
issue. is an attempt to annihilate the
state constitution.
A copy of the resolution received in
Boise, as approved by the union, fol-
lows:
Whereas, it is reported that an eff
session of the legislature to enact legis-
lation which has for its object the
creation of judicial commission, to be
composed of three attorneys appointed
by the governor, said commission to
have like powers and receive the same
compensation as the justices of the
supreme court, the purpose being to re-
lieve the alleged congestion of litiga-
tlon before our HlBneSI JuuiClal III
bunal and
CONSTITUTION QUOTED.
Whereas, such attempted legislation
is most bold attempt to violate and
set at naught the constitutional pro-
vision as set forth in article 5, section
of the constitution of the state of Ida
no, which, among other things, pro-
vides; The supreme court shall con-
sist of three justices. The justices of
the supreme court shall be elected by
the electors of the state at large;
therefore. be it
Resolved, by the Farmers Union of
Latah county, in convention assembled,
at Moscow Idaho, that we record our
emphatic protest against this attempted
annihilation of a constitutional provi-
sion, and demand that if a necessity
exists for an increase of the member
ship of the supreme court that this mat
ter be referred to the electors Of the
state by the submission Of proper
constitutional amendment, and
OBJECT TO EXPENSE.
Whereas, our county commissioners
were viciously, maliciously and con-
temptuously, and so unjustly attacked
during the last campaign for their de-
termned efforts to maintain justice
and protect the interests Of the taxpay-
ers of Latah county, which caused
heavy expense to the commissioners in
having to appear before the supreme
court-through which source came
complete vindication; therefore, be it
Resolved, that we, the members Of
the Farmers Union of Latah county, 10
hereby assume and contribute to the
payment of said expense for our hon
est commissioners.
