(13) The Police Bureau shall be an adjunct of the Home Department. (14) Officials shall not ride on the streets in the high one-wheeled chair nor shall they be accompanied by a large retinue, nor shall the attendants call out for people to clear the way. (15) No one shall be obliged to dismount when passing an official nor to show any other sign of servility. (16) The Prime Minister shall have only four attendants, the Vice Prime Minister and all the other ministers of state shall have three, the vice-ministers shall have two and the secretaries one. (17) Even eunuchs, if they are men of ability, shall be eligible for office. (18) The law that relatives may not sue each other at law shall be abrogated except for very near relatives, and feuds between families shall be given up. (19) All debts of long standing shall be cancelled (such as debts contracted by a father who is now dead or by relatives). (20) There shall be but eleven official grades (in place of the eighteen which there had been formerly). (21) There shall be no longer any outcast class in Korea but butchers, contortionists, acrobats, dancing girls, sorceresses and exorcists shall all be considered equal to others before the law. (22) Even after holding high office a man may engage in business or other occupation, at his pleasure. (23) The matter of the national examination shall be reserved for fuller discussion. It is not necessary to go into an analysis of these proposed reforms. They speak for themselves; some of them were necessary and others were the reverse. But they form a striking commentary on the condition of affairs in Korea at the time. Whatever may have been the defects of this plan it was an honest and strenuous attempt on the part of the best statesmen Korea could produce and it promised much. If its terms could have been carried out it would have proved an inestimable blessing to the people of the peninsula, but one can easily see that some of the proposals struck at the very fabric of Korean society. For instance the attempt to make acrobats, dancing-girls and _mudang_ the social equals of reputable people was of course absurd. The submerged classes cannot be enfranchised by a stroke of the pen. What Korea needed then and needs still is education. This alone will make fundamental reforms possible.
