TEXT OF WORLD COURT
PROJECT MADE PUBLIC
BY LEAGUE OFFICIALS
Lourt Will Consist of 15
Members, 11 Judges and
4 Deputies Hague Will

Republican A. P. Leased Wirej
LONDON, Sept. 14 The headquar
ters of the league ot nations today
made public the text of the project for
a permanent court of international jus
tice as adopted by The Hague commit
tee of jurists of which Elihu Root was
a member, together with a letter from
the council of the league to all gov
ernments which have entered the
league.
The letter says: "The council doe3
not propose to express any opinion on
the merits of the scheme until they
have had a full opportunity of consid
ering n."
It states, however, that the project
was prepared by a most competent
tribunal representing widely different
national points of view, and adds:
"The council would regard as irre
concilable difference of opinion on the
merits of the scheme as an interna
tional misfortune of the gravest kind.
It would mean that the league was
publicly compelled to admit its inca
pacity to carry out one of the most im
portant of the tasks whfeh It was in
vited to perform. The failure would be
great and probably irreparable. For,
if agreement proves impossible under
circumstances apparently as favorable,
it is hard to see how and when the task
if securing it will be successfully re
sumed." ,
The council states ft will later sub-,
mit its recommendations to the assem
bly of the league of nations.
The draft of the proposed world
court given out today consists of sixty-two
articles divided into three
chapters on organization, competence
of court and procedure. A preamble
states the general purposes of 'the court
as follows:
Purposes of World Court
"A permanent court .of fnternational
justice to which parties shall have di
rect access, is hereby established in
accordance with article 14 of the cove
nant of the league of nations. This
court shall bo in addition to the court
of arbitration organized by The Hague
convention of 189 and 1907, and to the
Epecial tribunals of arbitration to
which states are always at liberty to
submit their disputes for settlement."
Article two and three give the mem
bership of the court as follows:
"The permanent court of interna
tional justice shall be composed of a
body of independent judges, elected re
gardless of their nationality from
amongst persons of high moral char
acter who possess the qualifications
required in their respective countries,
for appointment to the highest judicial
offices, or are jurisconsults of recog
nized competence in international law.
'The court shall consist of 15 mem
bers; 11 judges and four deputy judges.
The number of judges and deputy
judges may be hereafter increased by
the assembly upon the proposal of the
council of the league .of nations, to a.
total of 15 judges and 6 deputy judges."
Manner of Choosina Judaes
The manner of choosing the judges
djt me anierent national groups is pro
vided. The members of the court are
elected for nine years. The president
and vice president of the court serve
for three years. The seat of the court
is established at The Hague. A ses
sion shall be held eaeh year beginning
June 15, smdr an extra session may be
called whenever necessary by the pres
ident or tne court, who must reside at
The Hague. The full court shall sit,
but if 11 judges are not available, 9
judges eh;i.ll suffice to constitute the
court. Three judges sit in chambers
annually to hear and determine sum
mary procedure. Salaries of the court
are fixed and expenses borne by the
league of nations.
Article 31 gives the court jurisdic
tion over suits between states. The
court is open by right to states be
longing to the league. Other states
may have access to it under conditions
provided by the league.
Article 33 provides: "When a dis
pute has arisen between states and it
has been found impossible to settle it
by diplomatic means and no agreement
haa been made to choose another juris
diction, the party compliinlng may
bring the case before the court. The
court shall first of all decide whether
the preceeding conditions have been
complied with; If so, it shall arrange
and determine the dispute according
to the terms and within the limits of
the next article."
Jurisdiction of Court
The question which the court Is com
petent to determine between members
of the league are given as follows:
"The interpretation of a treaty.
"Any question of international law.
"The existence of any fact which, if
established would constitute a breach
Of an international obligation.
"The nature or extent of the repara
tion to be made for the breach of an
international obligation.
"The interpretation of a sentence
passed by the court."
The court also shall take cognizance
of all disputes of any kind which may
be submitted to it by a general or par
ticular convention between the parties.

Assaiis Capital
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
BOISE. Idaho, Sept. 14 A fund of
from $25,000,000 to $30,000,000 is be
ing raised to defeat him. Governor
Cox of Ohio, Democratic presidential
candidate, declared today during his
tour of Idaho "and eastern Oregon.
Although the governor s charges here
tofore were that the total opposition
fund would be not less than $15,000,
000, he raised that figure today.
The governor's statement was made
during an hour's speech from the sec
ond story veranda of a Nampa, Idaho,
hotel and in response to a qustioiT-
from his audience asking how he ex
pected to return conditions to normal
"when SO per cent of the wealth is
held by 2 per cent of the people."
"If 80 per cent of the peonle will
ftorget their politics," the governor
replied, "and help me lick the 2 per
cent that Is raising a fund of from
$25,000,000 to-$30,000,000 to beat me,
we will make government an agency
for the 100 per cent and not for the 2
per cent."
Eieht speeches, dealing mainly with
the Democratic doctrines of "peace and
progress," were delivered today by
Governor Cox.
, Disregards Doctor's Orders
Disregarding his physician's orders
banning outdoor speeches, the gove nor
believing his attack of 'speakers' lar
nygitis" not series, delivered a string
of rear platform and other open air
addresses and closed his day with a
speech to a large feathering here at
Cody athletic 'park. His voice was
still quite hoarse, but he wettherod an
other strenuous day of campaigning
in good shape, he said.
At Huntington, Ore., early this morn
ing, the candidate began work, and
enroute here made addresses at On
tario, Ore., Weiser, Payette, Caldwell.
Meridian and Nampa, Ida.
The league of nations was preached
by the governor in all and was em
phasized here in the home city of
Senator Borah, Republican "irrecon
cilable" foe of the league. By a co
incidence. Senator Borah was said to
be speaking tonight at Dayton, O.,
Governor Cox home.
Says Opposition is Political Plot
Governor Gox told his audience that
opposition to the league was a "polit
ical" plot against America as well as
world civilization, designed to continue
"disorder," to increase feeling asainst
the Wilson administration, and to win
the present election.
"History will write it as the most
reprehensible of all time," he said.
Governor Cox reiterated that the Re
publican platform and candidate were
ambiguous and vacillating on the
league issue.
"You don't know where the reaction
ary candidate stands because he him
self don't know." the governor said,
repeating that tho opposition part's
position was taken because Senator
Borah and Senator Johnson of Califor
nia threatened to "bolt' and form a
third arty.
Disarmament provisions cf the
league also wer weighed upon by the
candidate as a means of reducing taxes
as well as precluding war.
"Stop building battleships." he added
"and we will use that money in the
main for reclaiming arid lands."
Denounces Separate Peace
The governor denounced making a
separate peace with Germany and the
"senatorial oligarchy" urging "inde
pendent, non-partisan" action in No
vember. He flayed the Republican
leaders and emphasized former Presi
dent Roosevelt's fight in 1912 against
what, the governor said, was "the same
crowd today."
The candidate repeated his charges
and evidence in their support regard
ing republican campaign contributions.
Referring to alleged promises by
William Wood, president of the Ameri
can Woolen company, to the republican
campaign hand book enterprise of
WHliam Barnes, Jr., of New Y'ork,
Governor Cox saH he observed by to
day's papers that the corporation's
mills had been ordered reopened. The
governor said he was "too modest." to
discuss the incident further, except to
recount his recent attacks on the cor
poration and Mr. Wood, whom he
charged with seeking to depress wool
prices, in the face of increased demand
and to force empoyes to accept lower
wages. In this connection the gover
nor again denounced ''big business"
and charged it with contributing to
ward "purchase of the presidency."
Against Recall cf Primary
Governor Cox was accompanied on
his tour through Idaho by Senator
Nugent, Democrat, who is seeking re
election; former Governor J. W. Haw
ley and T. A. Walter:!. Democratic
gubernatorial candidate.
Referring to repeal of the Idaho pri
mary law. Governor Cox said that it
was a mistake, adding:
"You can trust the people and when
you repeal the primary law and take
the power from the people you are pre
supposing that the people cannot be
trusted either in their judgment or
their patriotism that is a slander upon
the citizenship of any state."
The governor left here late tonight
to conclude his Idaho campaign to
morrow morning at Pocatello, Cache
Junction, Logan and Brigham, Utah,
wil lbe reached en route to Ogden for
an afternoon address and the Utah

FARM BOOKKEEPING
EXPLAINED BY
UNCLE SAM
Farming, like any other busi
ness, cannot be well conducted
without keeping records.
The farmer need no longer be
appalled by the idea of keeping a
set of books because the Depart
ment of Agriculture has worked
out a form so simple that any
man can understand it and put
it into operation.
Our Washington Information
Bureau has. for FREE distribu
tion, this bulletin which tells the
individual farmer how to pro
ceed with his record -keeping.

of these Oriental peoples, and in spite

they may be so different in racial
