car loads of prosperity. After waiting
long time the confidence came, but
they sent word that all the prosperity
had been shipped to England.
Mr.. Larkin also tells me that the

Constitutional Commission.

Senator Fast has introduced a
joint resolution which will likely
pass providing for constitutional
commission. 1t provides for a COM
mission of six senators and nine del
egates to be appointed by the Presi-
dent and speaker Eight Republi-
cans and seven Democrats are to
have places and they shall sit dur
ing the present session and report
on February %. However they may
extend their labors after the expira-
ton of the legislative session. When
the work is completed a copy of the
result is transmitted to the Cover
nor. He may then call an extra
session of the legislature, or if not,
the commission will report to the
next legislature. This method will
be much cheaper than constitu-
tional convention and it divides the
responsibility while giving the Re
publicans the widest possible free.
dom of action. But while there are
many objections still there are many
features Of the bill which are to be
commended. 1t has met with very
hattering reception.
