bly, "A Convention might give us
a brand new Constitution just
about right. Then again it
might get up one that would be
200 years out of date instead of
fifty in certain spots, AND for
fear we might not appreciate
our b eSsings proclaim it with
out submission to the voters.
Couldn't do it? Well, innocence
is what delights the grafters.
Since 1896 six States have had
just that kind of constitutions
placed on them. The interests
would pay out several millions
for votes to get a new Constitu,
tion in Oregon drafted and pro.
claimed. We would like to be a
member of the Constitutional
Convention of Oregon. After it
adjourned what we did not want
we would not buy.

COMPANY
To BUILD A
WAREHOUSE

The fact became known today that
the Chicago Telephone company will
next year begin the construction of
warehouse on certain property which
it purchased on the north side, which
is to be used for all of the supplies
that are to be used in the Calumet
region.
Hammond will accordingly be the
headquarters for Lake county so far as
the Chicago Telephone company is con-
cerned This IS also true Of the North
ern Indiana Gas and Electric company
which has plants in all Of the cities of
the region except Gary. and yet which
will make Hammond the distributing
center of the whole region.
The fact that Hammond has the best
transportation facilities of any Of the
cities in the country is probably the
reason for the selection of this city as
the point fro mwhieh the distribution
of supplies will be made.

company and the Great Northern Rail

street was laid out after the company
had acquired its right of way and laid
its track. which, they contended. i'm
posed upon the city the responsibility
of making the crossing safe.
