new CONSTITUTION
COMING

Supporters Of the move for con.
that the fiftieth general assembly will
adopt a resolution to submit the ques.
tion to a vote of the people.
Ten votes were lacking when the at
tempt was made to put it through the
house on March 81, 1915, after the SEN
ate had given the resolution the re-
quired two.thrds majority.
Fifty out of the niDety-two members
who voted for the resolution in the
forty.ninth session will return to the
fiftieth The supporters of the CON
con" declare they know that they may
count upon not less than thirty.eight
of the forty.two who take the places
of the others being with them.
Twenty of the thirty.two members
who voted against the resolution be.
fore were reelected to the house,
which, opponents of the plan say, is
a better showing than the other side
made.
Sixteen of the seventeen whose
names do not appear on the roll call
were reelected, and it is reasonable
to suppose that most of them will
dodge the issue again and be absent
when the vote is taken in the next
house.
II is then necessary for the pro.
moters of a convention to get their
strength from the new members. This
they say they can do and they have
hopes Of winning over some Of the
thirty.two who voted against them in
! the last session.
No pledges have been exacted from
the members this year, according to
report. George f. Cole, Shelby M
Singleton and their associates in the
organizations that always have been
behind the convention move have
started to work rounding up the
members.

CITY has COLD
w. "' s STORAGE BAN
Federal Officials Wonder Why
Ordinance Has Not Been
Invoked.

Federal officials discovered the ex-
istence of city ordinances which If
enforced would prevent the boarding
of food articles i'm cold storage plants
and would aid in the campaign to
reduce the high cost of living.
Why the ordinance which specific
ally forbids keeping articles of food
in cold storage for purposes of fore.
stalling the market or increasing the
prices has not been discovered by the
city authorities, or why, IL known, 1t
has not been invoked, is the question
which some of the federal officials
are asking.
"The fact that eggs are put into
cold storage when they sell at II
cents for the purpose of holding them
there until the price is raised to more
than As cents is a clear case of fore.
stalling the market and clearly in
violation of the ordinances dealing
with that question:" said Assistant
United States District Attorney John
II. Lally today. "In going over the
various methods by which the per-
sons and firms responsible for the
high cost of living can be brought
to time we stumbled upon the city
ordinance. Why It has not been re-
sorted to by the city administration,
when It is so easy to help the situa-
ton, is a pertinent question for the
general public to have answered.
perbaps the ordinance was over
looked. II that is true, then now is
the time to begin to secure warrants
for violations"

UNCLE SAM after
FOOD SPECTATORS

Two of the largest cold storage
plants in Chicago were raided by in.
vestigators from the United States De.
partment of Justice, their books and
records seized and taken to District
Attorney Clynes office.
1t was the first step In campaign
by the government to show that the
alleged food shortage and high prices
are the result of conspiracy. Other
raids are promised at once.
The government investigators are
certain every cold storage plant in
Chicago is crammed with foodstuffs
being held for higher prices, while
dealers are crying that food is scarce
and are raising prices to the con-
sumer.

The Christmas buying has extend.

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS.

That the spirit of Christmas is upo1
US one need but walk through thu
busy shops today and be convinced
Visit the toy department of any store
and learn that Christmas, with its
kind old Santa Claus, and, in fact, the
whole Yuletide spirit lie deep in the
hearts of the children.
!. Perhaps there are among the grown
ups some who haven't noticed that
Christmas dolls and rocking horses
and skates and such delectable things
are even SO different from the common
or garden variety of the year around.
Miss Bessie, the Christmas doll, for
instance, is not to have her silk clad
body and waxen curls swathed in
brown paper and delivered by an or
dinary delivery wagon. Most en-
pathically not!
The spirit Of Christmas is abroad,
and he whispers to Santa Claus and
reindeers that pull the jolly old man
and his sleigh over the snow covered
roof tops and stand prancing and
paving at each home while Santa
slips down the chimney.
For it is in just this way that the
Christmas dolly, the Irish mail, the
rocking horse and even the big toy
automobile are transported from the
show cases and windows of the de-
partment stores to a place beneath
The Christmas trees Of eager little
boys and girls on Christmas eve. If
