To Water Users of Nampa and
Meridian Irrigation District:


Meridian Irrigation District:
Il seems to be a very common
practice of the water users from
our canal system to waste water in-
to the drains constructed by the
United States Reclamation Service
for orr Irrigation District without
providing a waste water ditch and
connecting the same with the
drain boxes provided for this pur-
pose.
Regarding this matter. | wish TO
to say that this practice cannot be
tolerated for the reason that to
waste irrigation water over the
banks into drain at point where
no drain box is provided. viii have
a tendency to fll up the drain and.
in time, make ii necessary for our
District to provide itself with ex-
pensive dredging machinery for
the purpose of cleaning its drain
age canals and thus increase the
maintenance cost.
Trusting that all water users
along our drainage system will CO.
operate with the officials of our
District in this matter and provide
the necessary waste water bitches,

CHINESE RESOLUTION SIGNED
PIedae Made To Refrain From Seek
ing Special Privileges" lnimieal
To other Nations

Washington.-A resolution declaring
for the territorial and administrative
integrity of China was adopted unan-
imously late recently by the confer
ence committee on Pacific and Far
Eastern questions. The resolution,
the first concrete action of the arm
ament limitation conference was draft
ed and presented by Elihu Root, one
of the American delegates.
An agreement embodying the reso-
buttons, was signed by eight powers,
China refraining from attaching her
signature, it was said, because she
could not very well pass upon docu-
ment expressing a policy concerning
herself.
One of the delegates declared with
reference to the agreement that "a
long step already has been taken to-
wards formulation of the Far East
question"
THE firm intention of the eight
signatory powers was asserted ito
respect the sovereignty, independence
and the territorial and administra-
tive integrity of China"
The further intention ito provide
the fullest and most unembarrassed
opportunity to China ito develop an
effective and stable government was
asserted. The purpose of the powers,
lit was declared, was to use their in
fluence in establishing and maintain
ing the principle of equal opportunity
for the commerce and industry of all
nations throughout the territory of
China"
A pledge was made ito refrain
from taking advantage of the present
conditions" in China to seek special
privileges which might abridge rights
of friendly nations, and also to re-
frain from "countenancing action in
imical to the security of certain
states"
Adoption of the resolution follow
ing two hours discussion of Chinese
problems at the recent meeting of the
delegations of the nine nations on
Pacific and Far Eastern questions.
The discussion was said to have been
general and participated in by spokes-
men for all the principal nations rep
resented.

ed, was one of the principal subjects

HARDING SUGGESTS.
WORLDASSOCIATION.
ALSO PLAN TO SUBMIT RESULTS
OF PRESENT FARLEY FOR APP
PRoVAL OF OTHER NATIONS
Observation-Disclosures
Nothing Definite In Presidents Pro-
posaI, But Delegates Replies
Are Encouraging

Washington-In the midst of devel-
opments that helped clear the air for
all the big subjects before the arms
conference, President Harding let it
be known recently that he had taken
the first step toward a continuance
of international discussions which may
lead to an association of nations"
Conferences among the nations once
a year to consider whatever may men.
ace good understanding have been sug-
gested by the president informally to
some of the foreign delegates and their
replies are said to have encouraged
a hope that a permanent plan of con-
sultation will receive world approval.
Lacking all the properties of a
formal proposal, Mr.. Hardings plan
is declared to have been offered only
as a personal suggestion, without any
hint as to the details of it's accom-
plishment. Whether a more formal
approach to the subject will be taken
before the end of the Washington con-
ference remains to be developed.
Within the conference itself, definite
progress was made in both the Far
Eastern and naval negotiations and it
became apparent that although the
question of land armament had been
laid aside for the present without an
attempt to agree on limitation of ar
mics, some of the delegates hoped later
to translate the sentiment of the con-
ference into a point declaration of
general policy.
The naval discussions centered for
the moment about Japans recapitula
ton, of her present naval strength, in
connection with her hope for a modifi-
cation of the 5-53 ratio of the Amer
lean plan. Experts of the British,
French and Italian delegations with
held their decisions but the American
advisers made known their conviction,
reached after examination of the Jap
anese data, that no change in the ratio
was warranted.
Resuming the Far Eastern negotia- |
tons, the delegations of the nine ma
tons approved lin principle China's
plea for amelioration of the extra ter
ritorial rights now enjoyed by the pow
ers. A plan of modification with |
view to final abolition is expected to |
be worked out by an international COM
mission of jurists.
The Harding suggestion has by no
means reached the point of a definite
proposal for an association of nations

PRINCE HIRORITO
REGENT OF JAPAN
EMPEROR SAID TO BE VERY SICK
NOT EXPECTED TO
RECOVER
REGENCY NOT UNEXPECTED
Regent Has Already Accomplished A
Great Deal In Establishing A More
Liberal Understanding

Tokio.-CTown Prince Hirohito has
been designated regent of Japan.
Designation of Crown Prince Hir-
ohito as regent of Japan follows re-
ports which have been in circulation
for about year that Emperor Yos-
hohito was in bad physical condition.
A despatch to a Honolulu newspaper
in May of last year reported that he
had suffered a mental and physical
breakdown.
Early last month a rumor that he
was dead circulated in Toxic and the
imperial household in denying it at
the time, stated that he was so i'll
it was feared that he could not re-
cover.
Washington The announcement
from Toxic of the regency of Hiro-
hito was expected in Japanese circles
here as the recent tour of the crown
prince to Europe generally was under
stood to have been the first step
in the court arrangement to give Hiro-
hito the conduct of the empire because
of the continued illness of the EN-
peror This tour, which was quite
extensive, was arranged in order that
before taking up the duties Of regency,
the young crown prince would have an
opportunity to study foreign lands and
foreign customs.
Representative Japanese recently
emphasized how much this visit to
western countries had meant for
Japan. 1t was recalled that when the
crown prince returned to Toxic he
made a memorable speech to the peo-
pie, in which he frankly admitted that |
Japan had much to learn from western |
countries, and that all the subjects |
of the empire must strive their utmost |
to bring Japan to the high develop |
ment necessary for her national prog
ress.
The regent, who is only twenty |
years old, has already accomplished a
great deal in establishing a more lib
eral understanding between the i'm
perial court and the people of the
empire. He has already abandoned /
the ancient idea of imperial aloofness
and in striking contrast to the earlier
days when Japanese were not sup
posed to gaze upon their emperor,
Hirohito has recently appeared at va
rious public meeting in quite an in
formal manner and has made num-
Der of speeches.
Japaneses here assert that the re-
sponsibilty of having Japan emerge
from the olden days to the present
liberal movement as regards the court,
however, is in the hands of Viscount
Maxine, minister of the imperial
household, who was one of Japan's
delegates at the Versailles conference,
and Viscount Maxine has before him
the task of meeting the wishes of mod
ern Japan with it's democratic ten
denotes without offending the old court
mobiles who are inclined to resist too
many innovations.
1t is the understanding here among
Japanese that the immediate reason
for the regency is the conviction that
the emperor is incurably i'll and is
quite unable to carry on the duties of
the throne.
