ATTITUDE
SEEMS CHANGED
MAY ACCEPT HUGHES PLAN FOR
NAVAL LIMITATION ON A
TONNAGE BASIS

London-(A. P.)-France will ac-
cept the original naval ratio laid
down by Secretary Hughes at the
Washington conference, Premier Bri-
and informed Ambassador Harvey
Sunday night.
Paris-(A. PA London dispatch,
semi-official, to the Havas agency,
said that Premier BRAND informed
Ambassador Harvey that France ac-
cepted Secretary Hughes proposal re-
garding capital ship tonnage as fol-
lows: United States, 5; England, 5;
Japan, 81 France. ITO; Italy, 16S.
May Still Oppose Program
Washington-(A P)-Premier Bri-
and has advised the French delegation
to go as far toward accepting the
American naval limitation proposal as
is possible without sacrificing the
essential interests of the French gov
ernment
The first impression of the French
delegates, after studying the premier's
message was that it is far short of a
formal acceptance of the ratio pro-
posed by the American government.
1t was indicated that discussions here
would go on with the French still op-
posing the American program.
Secretary Hughes is understood to
have received a cablegram today from
London stating that as result of
conferences between Premier BRAND
and Ambassador Harvey, France was
expected to accept the American pro-
posal for 175,000 tons capital ships
for France and Italy. The French ac
ceptance is reported to be on ton
mage and not on a ratio basis.

EDUCATION MUST
q iN0TIIBE CHECKED
PRESIDENT UPHAM SHOWS WHERE
IT is NECESSITY TO THE FAR
MERS OF THE NATION.

President A. H. Upham, of the
University of Idaho was one of the
principal speakers at the luncheon
given by the northwest potato grow
ers, at the Davenport hotel Saturday
DR.. Upham pointed out that tht edu-
cational institutions are training
schools for leadership in industry and
government and stated that the pub
lie must ignore the plea of propa-
gandists who are endeavoring to cur
tail expenses for education to an ex-
tent that will interfere with the eff
clancy of the schools Dr. Upham
said in part:
'There appears to be much COM
ment today, in a time OF economic
depression, that too much public
money is being spent on secondary
and higher education,' said Dr. Up
ham,
f1''I believe this a fallacy as in real
ity only 1 to 2 cents of the tax dol
lar in Idaho goes for higher educa-
tiOn.
"The farmer so years ago merely
had an occupation; today he is an
experimental scientist in a highly
specialized field, and the young men
of today must be educated if they ex-
pect to take a prominent part in the
civilization of the country 20 years
hence
Education can not be capitalized
at once. 1t takes years to realize the
fruits of university career, but the
public must not be deceived in think
ing that it is a wasteful expenditure
Of public funds.
Mechanical Power
"The farmer today is learning to
let mechanical power simplify his
tasks and make it serve his purpose.
He is an expert accountant, an engi-
neer, an economist, politician, and
4 hOme-maker.
mo one kndws the value of an
education better than the farmer, and
he realizes that his children must be
educated in their youth if they expect
% successfully compete in farming in
years to come" concluded DR.. Upham.

MOSCOW BANKERS
PRESENT PROTESTS
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TO
REACH DECISION ON ASSESS
MENTS MONDAY NIGHT.

Latah county commissioners, Sit
ting as a board of equalization on the
personal property tax roll, at late
hour Monday afternoon were expect
ed to decide on an order in regard to
the personal property tax assess
ments of the three Moscow banks and
the First Bank of Juliaetta
Appearances were made before the
board Monday morning to protest as
sessments on bank capital stock and
bank surplus by e. W. Porter of the
First Bank of Juliaetta, Harry Whit
tier of the Moscow State bank, H.
Melgard of the First Trust and Saw
ings bank of Moscow, and ]. S. Hecka-
thorn of the First National bank of
Moscow
Order Monday Evening
AS Monday is the final day that the
board of equalization can be in ses-
sion an order disposing of the bank
stock assessment matter will be made
late Monday afternoon.
At the opening of the equalization
session protests were made by every
Latah county bank against what the
representatives of the banks alleged
to be disproportionate rates of as
sessment as compared with other
personally of the county. The bankers
claimed that their capital stock and
surplus were being assessed dollar
for dollar
Order of November s
Under date of November s, 1921 the
commissioners entered an order IN
which it was found that both the
personally and realty of the county is
i tl.s - -
actual value. The order reduced the
assessments of eight banks and in
creased the assessment on capital
stock on the four banks. Notices
were mailed out to the four banks to
appear before the board on Monday.
The matter was argued informally
Monday morning. j. H. Forney and
Clayton Keane represented the bank
ers as attorntys and c. H. Orland ap-
peared for the First National Bank
of Moscow.
Commissioners Have Problem
The problem before the commits
sioners is to either affirm or dis
affirm the order of November 8. In
the event that the order is affirmed
the matter will probably be taken to
the courts by the four banks and in
the event of the disaffirmance of the
previous order the eight other banks
Of the county will probably make pro-
tests. The principal contention is the
'eduction from the personal property
AK roll of the assessments on bank
ng house furniture and fixtures and
real estate. Commissioners took this
reduction from the assessment roll
While the bankers contend that value
If the realty should be the book value
The bankers take the position that
he realty assessment should be de-
lucted from the personal property as
on capital stock and real
estate and that they should be as
,essed just like all other personally
II SO cents on the dollar.

MANY CASES OF
 RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry, Avoid Exposure and
 Eat Less Meat.

Stay off the damp ground. avoid ex- posture, keep feet dry, eat less meat drink lots of water and above all take a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep down uric acid.
 Rheumatism is caused by poisonous toxin, called uric acid, which is gen erated iii the bowels and absorbed in- to the blood. It is the function of the kidneys 10 filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of the skin are also means of freeing the blood of this impurity In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they be- come weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put a tablespoon full in a glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities
 lad Salts $ inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with 1ithia and is used with excellent results bs thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism.-Adv.

 Altogether, we believe the new plan is sufficiently broad to allow the producer to use his own judgment and market his products in the way that he considers best, while, at the same time, he has the benefit of a complete national marketing ma chine that has no purpose or excuse for existence but to protect his inter ests and return a larger per cent of the market value to him without in- fringing upon the rights of his con- sumner customers Of these three al- ternat ativeS, the method of marketing 2 which proves most satisfactory and more nearly returns a price that will make farming profitable, will be the marketing method that will develop and increase in popularity.
 This plan, is, in fact. we believe but the next orderly step in co-op- eration that the farmers have a1- ready undertaken. Through co-oper- ative elevators they are handling to- day a great deal of the grain they produce but their co-oprative effort stops at the railroad track. With more than 5000, of these cooperative elevators in operation the founda- ton is already laid for a new na- tional marketing agency"

PUSH INQUIRY INTOPRACTICE
 OF PEONACE

Monticello Ga, March 2S-State authorities were planning today to push their investigation of alleged peonage practices in Jasper and New ton counties following the recovery of two more bodies of negroes from the Alcovy river here, making a to- tai of eleven bodies found since the authorities began investigation of peonage and murder charges against John Williams, Jasper county [ farmer. The last two bodies found weighted down with rocks and iron precisely as were the first three pre- ViouSly recovered from the river.
 Appointment of Attorney General Denney to take charge of peonage in vestigadonS in the two counties was being considered today by Governor Dorsey at the request of Solicitor Campbell of Newton county. Follow ing a coroner's verdict yesterday at an inquest over eight of the bodies, declaring the slain negroes met death gro employed by Williams, and nam ing Williams as an accessory, Judge Park of the Ocmu1gee circuit was awaiting orders from the governor to- day to call a. special term of the Jasp- CT county superior. court and bring the two men before a. grand juNy.
 Manning, who led the authorities to where the bodies were recovered, declared in a confession that the eleven negroes, five of whose bodies were found buried on the Williams plantation Saturday and three previ- ously in the Alcovy river, were slain, five at his own hand with an axe, in order to prevent them from testifying in peonage charges against Williams.
