No More Annexations
OF Helpless Peoples

Then there is feature about this
covenant which. 10 my mind, Is one Of
the greatest and most satisfactory
advances that have been made. We
arc done with anneXations of helpless
peoples, meant in some instances by
some powers 20 be used merely for
exploitation.
We recognize in the most solemn
manner that the helpless and unde-
veloped peoples Of the world, being
IN that condition, put an obligation
upon US TO look after their interests
primarily before we use them for our
interests, and that in all cases of
,his sort hereafter a. shall be the
outy OF the league 10 see that the ma
uons VINO are assigned a. the tutors
ana advisers and directors Of these
peoples shall look TO their interests
ana thelr development before they
TOOK TO the interests and desires Of
the mandatory nation itself
There has been no greater ad-
vance. than this, gentlemen. If you
look back upon the history of the
world you will see how helpless peo-
pies have too often been prey to
powers that had no conscicncs in
the matter. IL has been one OF the
mary distressing revelations OF re-
cent years that the great power
which has just been, happily, de-
feated. put lntolcrable burdens and
injusticcs upon the helpless people

Conference Expected
To Adjourn June /

While the great project of society
of nations is under consideration by
the various governments represented
at the conference preliminary to the
New-York tribune., 1919-02-15
Purposes Declared;
Powers Unmistakable

ats purposes do not for moment
lie vague. Its purposes are declared,
and Its powers are unmistakable. 1t
is not in contemplation that this
should be merely Il league to secure
the peace of the world. 1t is league
which can be used for cooperation in
any international matter
THAT is the significance of the
provision introduced concerning la
Dor. There are many ameliorations of
labor conditions which can be effected
by conference and discussion [ an
tlcipate that there will be a very
great usefulness in the bureau of
labor which it is contemplated shalh
be set up by the league. Men and wom-%
en- and children who work have been
IN the background through long ages,
and sometimes seemed to be forgot
ten, while governments have had
their watchful and suspicious eyes
upon the manmuvres of one another,
while the thought of statesmen has
been about structural action and the
larger transactions Of commerce and
of finance.
'Now, if l may believe the picture
which ! see, there comes into the
foreground the great body Of the la
boring people of the world, the, men
and women and children upon whom
the great burden of sustaining the
world must from day to day fall,
whether we wish it to-do so or not
people who go to bed tired and wake
up without the stimulation of lively
hope. These people viii be drawn
into the field of international con-.
sultation and help, and Will be among
the wards Of the combined govern
ments of the world. This is, | take
leave to say, very great step in ad-
vance IN the mere conception Of that
Then, as you Will notice. there is
an imperative article concerning the
publicity of all international agree
ments. llenceforth no member of the
league can claim any agreement valid
which 1t has not registered with the
secretary general, IN whose Office, of
course, 1t Will be subject to the ex-
animation Of anybody representing
member of the league. And the duty
Is laid upon the secretary general to
publish every document Of that sort
at the earliest possible time.
81 suppose most persom who have
not been convcrsant with the busi-
ness of foreign affairs do not realize
how many hundreds Of these agree
ments are made in "A single year,
and how difficult it might be TO pub
lish the more unimportant of them
immediately How unintcrcsting it
would be to most Of the world to
publish them Immediately, but even
they must be published just as soon
rs it is possible for the Secretary
General to publish them.

tion between great and small states.
Later, he said this beginning must
be extended by a limitation of arma-
ments. One of the chief results of the
victory was in permitting the disarma-
mcnt of the barharous nation that had
stood in the way of world disarmament

N. Bourgeois said. Some states, like
France and Belgium, were especially
exposed and required additional guar
antces. lie urged system of per-

Freedoms Guarantee

of this representative body it is
provided, you will notice. that when
subject is submitted, it is not to
arbitration, but to discussion by the
executive council it can upon the
initiative Of either of the parties to
the dispute, be drawn out of the
executive council on the larger form
of the general body of delegates,
because through this instrument we
are depending primarily and chiefly
upon one great force, and this is
the moral force of the public opin-
ion of the world-the pleasing and
clarifying and compelling influences
of publicity, so that intrigues can
no longer have their coverts. SO that
designs that are sinister can at any
time be drawn into the open, so
that those things that are destroyed
by the light may be promptly de-
stroyed by the overwhelming light
of the universal expression Of the
condemnation of the world.
"Armed force is in the background
in this programme, but it is in the
background, and if the moral force
of the world will not suffice the ply
steal force of the world shall But
lndl is Ine ldSi resort, because LnlS
IS intended as constitution of
peace, not as a league for war
"The simplicity OF the document
seems to me to be one Of it's chief
virtues, because, speaking for my
self, | was unable to see the variety
of circumstances with which this
league would have to deal. ! was
unable, therefore, to plan all the
machinery that might be necessary
to meet the differing and unexpected
contingencies. Therefore, | should
say of this document that it is not
straightjacket, but vechiclc Of
life
"A living thing is born, and we
must see to it what clothes we put
on it. 1t is not vehicle of power,
but vehicle in which power may
be varied at the discretion of those
who exercise it and in accordance
with the changing circumstances of
the time. And yet, while it is elias
tic, while it is general in its terms,
it is definite in the one thing that
we were called upon to make definite.
1t is definite guarantee of peace
it is definite guarantee by word
against aggression. 1t is a definite
guarantee against the things which
have just come near bringing the
whole structure of civilization into
ruin

World Fast Reaching
Common Brotherhood

"We have had many instances Of
colonies lifted into the sphere of
complete self government This is
not the discovery of principle. 1t
is the universal application Of a
principle. 1t is the agreement of
the great nations which have tried
to live by these standards in their
separate administrations to unite in
seeing that their common force and
their common thought and intelli-
gence are lent to this great and
humane enterprise.
81 think it is an admission, there
fore, for the most profound satisfac-
ton that this humane decision
should have been reached in a matter
for which the world has long been
waiting and until very recent
period thought that it was still too
early to hope.
MANY terrible things have come
out of this war, gentlemen, but some
very beautiful things have come out
, of it. Wrong has been defeated, but
the rest of the world has been moro
conscious than it ever was before of
the majority Of right. People that
were suspicious of one another can
now live as friends and comrades in
single family, and desire to do so.
The miasma of distrust, of intrigue
is cleared away. Men are looking
eye to eye and saying: we are
brothers and have a common purpose.
We did not realize it before, but
now we do realize it and this is our
covenant of friendship

assembly Of twelve hundred million
people, but if you leave it to each
government to have. if it pleases, one
or two or three representatives,
though only with a single vote, it
may vary its representation from
time to time not only, but it may
(originate) the choice of its several
representatives (Wireless here un-
intelligible.)
"Therefore, we thought that this
was proper and a very prudent
concession to the practically univer-
sal opinion of plain men everywhere
that they wanted the door left open
to variety of representation, in
stead of being confined to a single
official body with which they could
or might not find themselves in
sympathy.
and you will notice that this body
has unlimited rights of discussion. l
mean of discussion of anything that
falls within the field of international
relations. And that it is especially
agreed that war or intentional mis-
understandings or anything that may
lead to friction or trouble is every
body's business. because it may affect

The voters of Highway District No.
I went on record Friday In favor of
good roads with a total OF % votes
over the necessary two-thirds majori-

Issue where there is n strenuous fight

tory OF the bonds Friday was unusual
ny significant. A few citizens were
snalterably opposed to the bonds IN

Sreat majority came out solidly and
unauestionably for good roads.

Why is il so many people insist up
on considering public officials ne
mics save only when those officials
are doing them some personal ser
vice? We choose as officers men In
whom we have confidence, or should
do so. It is a poor grade Of confidence
which is shaken by the first act that
does not meet with out entire approx
al. Our officials are selected TO re-
present us-to investigate and to act
for US on matters which we cannot DC
for ourselves. By every right they
should know more than most OF us o.
public matters with which they have
to do. Why not at least extend oui
confidence until we have real prooI
that II is unwarranted?

ing more and loaflng less.
The railroad mans trouble is not
low wages, neither is It the high cost
of living. but rather is IL a matter Of
trying TO live high while working less
hours than any other class Of labor.
Their present wage is higher by far
than the average throughout the coun-
try.
For IL is recalled that in their last
national convention the engineers linn
tied the mileage any engineer would
be permitted to run during a month
to 1900 for engineers on passenger
rtains and $500 on freight trains, af-
ser which, although this would mean
working only about half the time, they
must stop and loaf during the remain
der OF the month. This is the crux
o. the situation and explains why they
are not earning mOre-because they
refuse to work like other people,
n isn't a question OF too high prices
or OF too low wages. but OF too little
work, and this is a point and question

ing the public with higher rates.
And the same applies to many lines
OF industry. Increased production is
only sure remedy for high cost OF
living and increased production will
rot come out of the air or without

REDUCE OVERHEAD TAXATION

and cutting down taxes.
California has formulated a plan on
ahe same lines of getting rid OF hun
dreds of ornamental commissions and
consolidating functions,
Illinois has consolidated one hun
dred and twenty-five bureaus and
commissions into nine departments
with n director at the head OF each,
The tax rate In this state has been
reduced from ninety to seventy-five
cents on the hundred dollars. saving
the people $4,000. 900 a year.
Similar systems and n budget sys.

and sheriff-the rest TO be hired and

With all the a taxes TO be paid for

Cost of Project 5O.OOO.O 900.

II is estimated that the cost OF wat
ering the lands will total $4,000, 900.
Water would be diverted at American
Falls and conducted through a high
line canal to the south side Of the
proposed project. The Oregon Short
Line has surveyed a railroad south and
east from Homedale in 0wyhee coun-
ty to Bull in Twin Falls county, where
it would connect up with its Twin
Falls branch.
Mr.. Meredith, whom the governor
admits is promoting the irrigation
project in Owyhee county, promoted
the Twin Falls West End project in
Twin Falls county. He procured a
Carey act segregation in 1908 when
Frank R. Gooding was governor, but
aside from selling water rights did
little actual work until a few months
ago. He has reorganized the original
company and is now retaining 5000
acres in the neighborhood of Rose
worth on Devil and Cedar creeks.
In 1912 he was a candidate fol
United States senator from Iowa on
the Democratic ticket. His failure tc
build the Twin Falls West End was
brought up in the campaign that fol
towejIi He was defeated. In 1916
the Iowa Democrats nominated Mr.
Meredith for governor.
Mr.. Meredith is publisher of Better
Farming" an agricultural paper, a
Des Moines. He is said to be quite
wealthy.

Meredith expects to command eastern

they have been closed to settlement
Before the war Mr.. Prrin and as
sociates attempted to get control @
sufficient money with which to bull
irrigation works, and the Oregon Shor
Line made ready to construct it's rail
road across them, but the outbrea
Of hostilities caused capitalists to with
draw. At that time it was estimate
that the project would cost $40, 900
