EASIER AMENDMENTS
Ratification by Two Thirds, In
stead of Three-fourths, of
States Proposed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ia reso-
luton to amend the federal constitu-
ton by providing that majority, in
stead of two-thirds, of both houses of
congress may propose constitutional
amendments and make their ratifca-
ton by tWo-thirds, instead of three
fourths of the states sufficient. was
introduced today by Representative
Bryan of Washington. The resolution
was drawn by the committee on the
federal constitution, composed of
many prominent members, with head
quarters at Brooklyn, N. Y. The
resolution also proposes a new pro-
cedure of amendment independent OF
congress and state legislatures.
Voters Could Call Convention.
This new plan calls for the submits
sion to the voters every 20 years Of
the question whether there shall be
a convention to propose constitutional
amendments, which, if aff1rmatively
decided, would be followed by choos-
40 NO~OoS"SSo
convention on March 4, two years
afterward, and for submission of the
conventions recommendations to pop
ular vote at the ensuing presidential
election. , A majority of congress or 4.
majority of the state legislatures
might call for the submission Of the
question of holding a convention at
other presidential elections than those
falling on the 20-year intervals. The
resolution would require a majority
vote to call convention and a two
thirds vote to ratify amendments pro-
posed by conventions.
Would Give People Voice.
The committee, in explaining this
plan, commended that it would enable
people to ultimately get what theysde-
mand in constitutional reform and at
the same time made sufficient conces-
sion to conservatism by the slow pro-
cedure prescribed.

Plum
PROVES PUZZLE
Proposal to Favor the Democrat,
Against the State Journal,
Strikes Union Obstacle.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. Ex-senator
w. M. Perry's bill to make The Mad
son Democrat the official state paper
instead of The Wisconsin State Jour-
nal has been pigeon-holed for tho
time by the senate committee on
state affairs because another bill af-
fecting state printing board, is ex-
pected to be. introduced. The hear
ing developed two agles, one political,
the other from the standpoint of un-
ION labor. The Democrat is an "open
shop" while The State Journal plant
is unionized. Representatives of the
printing trades oppose giving the
plum to The Democrat.
Senator Perry, declaring that no
one could question his Republicanism,
charged that The State Journal
merely masquerade as Republican
paper, and referred to it's support Of
Blaine.

UNITED HAT Frs
FILE CLAIM FORA AID
Petition Congress To Pay Dam
age Because of Misuse of
Sherman Law.

= WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 19.-On
Wednesday the five nUited States rep
resentatives from Connecticut each
presented a petition to congress ask
ing for an appropriation to relieve the
petitioners from the award Of dam
ages made by the court in the case Of
D. E. Loewe, hat manufacturer Of
Danbury, against them. The petition
recites the history of the controversy
and the suit, in all it's phases through
the courts, and also recounts the gen.
eral understanding that the Sherman
anti thrust law should not have been
held ito4apply to the voluntary organi-
cations of the working people, and
that: the courts did 80 hold and that
under the interpretation of the Sher-
man anti!trust law the hatters of Dam
mulcted in damages to the
sum- Of $252,000,. with interest and
costs amounting to nearly $3,000,0o0.
!: The petition sets forth that either
the United States congress in enact
ing the Sherman antitrust law erred
In failing to make it's meaning clear
in so far as that act was not to be ap-
piled to the normal activities Of an or
Of labor, or that the courts
erred: in interpreting the law that it
did 50 apply. +. And that in either event
the congress should make an appro-
priation to meet the award made by
the courts and relieve the ISL petit
TONERS who otherwise would have
their small savings and investments IN
humble homes confiscated to satisfy
the judgment. The petitioners are the
survivors of the 243 who were orig
inally sued, and all Of them are Of far
advanced age. ...@. a.a " d, /. .tts@s* 81 ~

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-An agree
ment on the seamen's bill is expected
Monday night by the senate and house
conferees. 1t is reported at the cap
ital that Senator r. M. La Toilette Of
Wisconsin, the father of the seamen's
bill which was passed by the senate,
will flibuster against the conference
report, it being his contention that too
many concessions have been made to
the ship owners. Representative w.
S. Greene of Massachusetts,, who has
been opposed to the legislation from
the first, declares that when the
measure comes from conference it
will be in such shape that he can sup
port it. ,
While Senator W. A. Smith OF Mich
igan maintains that no agreement has
been reached with reference to- regu-
lations Of the Great Lakes, it is I'M
derstood! that It Is 9pracacally certain

MADE IN THE D, S. A..
Next Week Has Been Set Aside For
National Observation

Next week has been declared a
national Made in U. S. A." week.
Hundreds of the leading retail con.
Germs throughout the country have
Joined in nationwide booster move
ment to show the people of the Unit
ed States that we are not dependent
upon Europe for the manufactured
goods and raw materials with which
she formerly supplied us but which
we're cut off when the war opened.
Oskaloosa's representative in the
movement is the Baldauf Rosenblatt
Company store, which featured Made
in U. S. A." goods in its displays this
week, and which cordially invites the
people of Mahaska County to ssee
these exhibits and witness how the
American manufacturers have seized
upon the opportunity to show what
they are capable of doing.
This nationwide movement is bas.
cd upon a sound idea. Since interna-
tional commerce has practically been
stopped by the European struggle it
has become necessary for the Ameri.
can manufacturers to find a home
outlet for their goods or close down
their factories. Everyone knows what
it means when factories close down.
But there is another solid reason for
buying American made goods. Did
you ever stop to think that when you
buy foreign-made stuff you pay a stir
customs duty? You do-and that is
one reason American made goods are
better and cheaper than imported mer
chandise.

the current year was privately award
ed by the Board of Supervisors yes.
terday afternoon to H. E. Whitlatch
of Beacon and w. f. Orr of Lacey. at
ia fiat price of $4,000. The contract
was made privately after the sealed
proposals of nine different companies
had been publicly opened and reject.
ed. 1t is subject to the approval of
the state highway commission
Mr.. Whitlatch and Mr.. Orr entered
separate bids for the work among
the sealed proposals, but the con.
tract as made was with Orr and
WhitlatCh as a firm. The lowest
bid price for the work among the
sealed proposals was 2l,127.8O, and
the engineers estimate of the cost
| to the contractor was $24,82J. The
contract as entered into stipulates a
price for extra concrete with rein.
forcing, of $3.50 per cubic yard, and
for extra concrete. without reinfOrc-
ing, of $11.jO For foundation pill
ing, in place, a price of 4J cents per
lineal foot is fixed. The county is
to furnish all concrete and all struc
tural steel for I-beam bridges. The
contractors will furnish all other ma
terial, and all hauling and labor.

tural steel for the I-beam bridges

tractors were warned against doing
this in the notice issued by the Board
