G. p. r. NOW HAS
MANY SMALL
STOCKHOLDERS

The increasing number of stock
holders in Canadian Pacific railway
gives vivid indication OF the
growth of confidence In the COM
pany's position, and In the Domin-
ion of Canada, as center for capi-
tai investment.
In the annual meeting Of the e.
p. r. In 1907 II may be recalled that
Sir Thomas Shaughnessy remarked
that there were upwards OF $4,000
shareholders whose holdings did not
exceed 80 shares, each. OF the COM
pany's stock. BY June, 1913, this
number had swelled to $1,000.
The Financial Times secured the
definite assurance this week that
there are now $4,000 names on the
company's list. Of persons holding
80 shares or less. This II . mar
velous record. and gives striking
evidence OF the increasing popular
ity OF the shares among small in
vestors.
The dramatic increase In Cana
dian Pacific's earnings continues to
be q sensation In the railroad world
New York Observers are already
confident that the company viii
easily earn its 10 psr cent dividend
In the present fiscal year: In fact
this week forecasts were made thai
the company would earn at the rate
OF Is per cent on the capital.

they wanted as easily as they should
have been? Certainly not Too much
machinery. Too much uncertainty in
connection with the use OF the ma
chinery. No guaranty OF united ac-
ton by the States.
ITO cure this the Committee on the
Federal Constitution framed a resolu-
ton for introduction In the present
Congress. In preparing it the com
mittee took the ground that for the
people TO have effective control over
the machinery or government at
east one process of revising the Con-
stitution must be Independent. so far
as the proposal and ratification OF
amendments are concerned, OF any
organ or organs of Government al
ready constituted. They must have
the easy facility OF holding a con-
stitutional convention without having
II made a privilege granted by Con-
gress. The resolution revises the
amending article OF the Constitution
in brief:
First, by reducing the vote by
which Congress may propose amend
ments from two-thirds to simple
majority; by reducing from three
fourths to two-thirds the proportion
Of States required for ratification OF
amendments. The proportions as they
now exist in Congress and the States
for effectiv" action are prohibitlve of
action, The fraction is altogether out
Of the workable ratio of reasonable
accomplishment,
Second, by fixing a set date, at least
once in every twenty years. when the
electors of the country shall have the
right to say az the polls whether or
not there shall be a convention held
for the purpose OF considering propo-
sitions to amend the United States
Constitution. And by providing that
all amendments that may IN adopted
At convention so voted for shall he
submitted for ratification by tho
electors direct, two-thirds afTlrma-
tive being necessary for the validity
of adoption"

Take the States OF Delaware, Rhode
Island, Vermont Nevada. North Da-
kota, South Dakota. Montana. Idaho,
Wyoming. Utah, Arizona, New Hamp-
shire and New Mexico. with their
population OF 4.5262s7. as against the
91,l095i2 population OF the entire
United States. and you will see how
absurd Il is that these thirteen SOW
ereign Commemorative. as many
proudly call them, should be able
just because they number thirteen
or more than one-fourth OF the States
in the tnion--to thwart the wishes
Of thirty-five other States.
cor. as II was long ago pointed out,
the absurdity is even greater when
the vote OF the electorate is taken
instead Of the population. on the
basis Of the election OF 1876 there
were 9s2. $50 votes cast in certain
few States as against S,123,55s votes
cast in all of the other States. Yet
the States in which this absurdly
small vote was east were sufficient
in number to balk the ratification OF
any constitutional amendment had
one been submitted.
THE resolution the committee urges
for adoption remedies this to a great
! degree by proposing the amendment OF
Article V. of the Constitution so that II
shall he of three sections instead OF
one. Section / sets forth that ma
jority, instead of two-thirds, Of Con-
gress may propose amendments IA
