DECLARES IT "A BONUS"

WASHINGTON, Feb, 2.-Senator Mcclellan. Democrat, of Tennessee, declared today in the Senate that Congress is without right to grant such bonus or subsidy" to Great Britain as contained in the proposed debt settlement.
 Senator McKellar declared the re- duction in interest would be $5S,- 750,000 annually for the first ten years and 140.000.000 annually for the remainder of the period cov- cred in the proposed settlement.
 The Tennessee Senator argued that Great Britain should pay the United States nc more and no less" on it's debt than the United States must pay those from whom it bor- rowed the money from her own tax payers.
 Debt Settlement.
 The proposals made by the Am erican Delft Funding Commission to Great Britain, and upon which the present negotiations are being per feeted suggested an interest rate of 3 per cent for the first ten years and 3 F per cent thereafter, with pro- visions for extinguishing the entire debt in sixty-two years.
 The suggestion included provision for stated annual payments and an amortization rate of one-half of per cent in addition to the yearly payments on the principal. The yearly payments, it was explained, were to increase as the amount of the interest decreased.
 The whole scheme. considered over tho entire sixty-two-years period would average a rate of approxi- mately 4 per cent.

HONOLULU, Nov. 1.-THE system
of government. .yof the Territory OF
Hawaii "cannot endure half-Ameri-
can and half-Japanese," Circuit Judge
Frank Andrade has declared, in up
holding the constitutionality OF the
territorial law regulating the con-
duct of alien language schools which
are predominately Japanese in num-
Der and attendance.
The decision came in the suit
of the Palama and Kaliki Japanese
language schools to restrain territor-
ial officials from enforcing the law
in question, which was adopted by
the Legislature in 1920. The meas
ure provides that all teachers in the
language schools must have obtained
from Territorial school officials 8
certificate following an examination
into the applicants knowledge OF
the ideals of democracy, American
history and institutions, and the abil
ity to read, write and speak the
English language.
The Palama and 'Kalihi schools
contended that the measure violated
the fifth and fourteenth amendments
to the Federal Constitution.
"That the right to teach foreign
| language to pupils in a private schoo

ROCK RUNS OUT.

The foreman and crew OF the
General Construction Co., who
arrived here a couple of weeks
ago to begin the work of surfac-
ing the state highway between
this place and Lawyer canyon,
have been having many difficult
ties to contend with since estab-
fishing camp. After a great
deal of delay in getting their
equipment located because of
bad roads and heavy rainfall,
they prepared a crusher site on
the Bieren farm north of town,
only to find later that the rock
was not as extensive as had at
first been thought and it then
became necessary to locate ano-
ther quarry site near the Bieren
farm house further north. Here
the rock formation proved salts

ing the clusher site has practi-
cally been completed. 1t is the

able to begin operations with q
full crew within few days pro

GASOLINE TAX SHORT.

Total receipts from Idaho's
new gasoline tax for the month
of April are $24,257.47, it was
announced by F. A. Jeter, COM
missioner of law enforcement,
charged with collection of the
tax. A few small dealers are
yet to be heard from but their
collections will not change the
total much, Mr.. Jeter said. The
department is having some tr0u-
BILE with one company which
operates out of Spokane, he said,
and which has refused to collect
the tax.s
April was the first month in
which the new law, passed by
the 1923 session of the legisla-
ture, was in effect and the total
receipts are lower than was first
anticipated by officials Of the
department. They estimated the
receipts for that month would be
close to $4,000.
However," said Mr.. Jeter,

month of May to be more than
twice what they were for April

ATTENDANCE SMALL.

The sixteenth annual c0nven-
ton of the Idaho County Asso-
ciation of Odd Fellows, which
convened in Cottonwood last Sat
urday, was marked by the small
est attendance since the organi-
zation of the county associa-
ton, due entirely to the incle-
mency of the weather and the
almost impassable roads. Only
a few lodges were represented,
but in spite of this fact the en-
tire program was carried out,
the only change being that both
afternoon and evening sessions
were combined into one session
during the afternoon followed
by the banquet at six O'Clock
and dancing in the evening.

ing place for the convention in
