C1ark's Paper

Senator Edwards remarks on tho
constitutional convention and the op-
position to 1t so far recorded was the
principal event in the senate today.
Senator G. II. Williams. Powell, to-
day gave notice OF bill authorizing
the state board of railroad commits
sioners to put into effect Il passenger
fare of one cent a mile for the trans
portation of prisoners to ana from all
parts OF Montana when engeged in
the work of building public roads.
1t is thought that this will aid in
making the services OF convicts avail
able for road work throughout tho
state. The expense of moving prison.
crs has been one of the features mill
tating against the use of prisoners in
the districts far removed from the
state penitentiary.
Following Is Senator Edwards
speech with reference to the proposed
constitutional convention:
Edwards Speech.
In an editorial OF January 8, the
Butte Miner. n newspaper edited
by Larry Dobell and owned by w.
A. Clark, of Paris, New York and
Montana. II violent and slurring
attack Is made upon the intro
ducer in this body of n measure to
submit to the people of this state
the question Of holding a consti-
tutional convention.
THE voters of Montana surely
need no further evidence OF the
urgent necessity existing for the
calling Of constitutional con-
vention than this same attack
from the aboves described source.
That the personnel OF the constitu-
tional convention held in 1889 or
2s years ago was of the highest is
well known and fully appreciated.
and that it gave to the state OF
Montana a constitution admirably
fitted to meet the conditions then
existing Is proven. But, that it was
endowed by the Almighty with
power to forsee and provide for
the conditions Of today, IS years
later, we most emphatically chal-
lenge. No man in Montana in the
year 1889 ever dreamed OF q state
wherein the economic and political
conditions OF today would exist
Our constitution has from time
to time received amendments, but
we are fully aware of the hit and
mss policy pursued in amending
the present existing constitution.
This provides for the submission
to the voters Of three amendments
at any one general election. The
result has been, in the event OF
one political party controlling the
legislature, it selected the amend
ments. If the control was divided.
then a compromise would be re-
sorted to.
What resident Of Montana at
this date would even consider the
possibility Of success for busi-
ness venture conducted today on
the same lines of general policy
pursued in 1889? At that date
there existed no agriculture
worthy even of mention. The busi-
ness of the state was mining and
stock raising in its territory. The
mining OF the state is conducted
upon an entirely different basis
today as compared with 2S years
ago. The same ID true Of stock
raising. while agriculture, then un-
known. has taken first place in
! production among the resources OF
the state.

1t Is understood that the employ
ment committee will add about 20
more clerks and stenographers tomor-
row which will bring the number of
employees up to approximately so. This
Is n number considerably below the
legal limit. but as 1t has been the Gus
tom to add employees from time to
time during the session 1t Is thought
that the limit will be reached long be-
fore the 60 days have passed.
The committee on judiciary will re-
port unfavorably tomorrow morning
on the bill introduced by Bernard.

Report on Bridge Construction.


OF interest to Great Falls particu-
larry is the report which the commit
tee on highways will make tomorrow
with regard to the construction Of
bridges within any city or town upon
n highway crossing a natural stream
separating one part from another part
OF any county. 1t Is understood that
the report of the highway committee
will be favorable. The passage OF this
bill will permit the county of Cascade
to construct n much needed bridge
across the Missouri river. The city
of Great Falls has been unable to
build this bridge as it is too near the
constitutional limit Of Indebtedness.
The bill also provides that street rail-
way systems shall pay not less than
one sixth and not more than one
third of the cost Of construction for
use Of the bridge. The committee is
said to be in favor of raising this limit
to e-half of the cost of construction.

A SIX Federal La,U
to End Po1yga,,1y

The house of representatives today
received a communication from THE
Connecticut legislature with reference
to the passage of Il federal law pro-
hibting polygamy. The resolution
states that rolygamy exists today in
several districts of the United States
and that this condition should receive
the attention of the federal govern
ment. The same message has been
sent to all of the legislatures in tho
various states of the Union and they
are asked to memorialize congress
with regard 10 the passage of n fed

about forty-five different trades for
service in the aviation section of the
Signal Corps. These men will be en-
ployed as close to the fighting lines as
airdromes can be built, and the great
part Of their work will consist in keep
ing every battle plane ready for safe
and instantaneous service: in tuning
engines for duty four and five miles In
the air, and in seeing that each plane
and its parts are mechanically perfect.
About two-thirds of the men will be
made non-commissioned officers and
each will be detailed to the class of
work for which he is best qualified.
Sailmakers are wanted, as we'll as
.cobblers and tailors, for making,
stretching and repairing wings; cab
inetmakers and boatmakers for wood

Powell-Karle Concert.

The throng present at the National
Theater yesterday to hear Maud Powell
American violinist, and Theo. Karle
American tenor, expressed enthusiastic
approval. While the achievements of
foreign musicians have been univer-
Americans are coming to the top in the
art of music is marvellous. and in a
few years America may be first in mu-
sic. as she is in everything else.
Maud Powell surpassed all that was
said of her in advance notices. Much
was expected of her, and expectations
were realized MANIFOLD. Her fingers
are most dexterous. as exempliied in
the D fiat valse of Chopin. a succession
of runs played at furious tempo with
out the neglect Of single note. An
other example Of technique was shown
in vieuxtemps Polonaise. Her appeal
however, Is in the soft, sustained work,
wherein her violin lacked only words
evident in Loves Delight" by Martini
Powell, and Dvoraks well known
Songs My Mother Sang" Her other
numbers, all worthy Of special mention
nata, Tartini; Rhondo, G major. Mo-
zart; Hungarian Dance, Brahms
Joachim: Waltzing Doll, Poldini, and
Cobbler's Dance, Sarasate.
Mr. Karle's splendid tenor was heard
in Washington last winter. While a
great singer then. much Improvement
was noted yesterday. especially in his
versatility and ability to control high
soft tones. His opening numbers were
three Italian songs, Ultima Rosa"
Spier: "Sternelle." Gimara, and "Apri la
tua finestra," Mascagni. followed by
Paradise" from Meyerbeer's 'L'Afri-
caine" Decidedly the best and most
pretentious was the aria from Puc-

The words were too true to the present
time to be enjoyed. although Mr.. Karle's
rendition was beautiful and appre-
ciated.
Mr.. Arthur Loesser. accompanist for
Mime. Powell, was artistic, his work in
the Tartini sonata being especially
noteworthy.
