Exasperated over the de-
lay in reaching terms with
the T. r. 4 p. Co. for eN-
tending the municipal car
line to the Todd Shipbuild-
ing plant, the city council
agreed Wednesday to build
and operate the line strictly
as a city enterprise.
At the same time, the city and
county commissioners, in joint
session, sent word to Chester
Thorne, John S. Baker and James
Ashton, who had promised tc
pay part of the cost of the new
filled street across the flats, that
they would have to make good
their promise Immediately, or the
deal would be off.

The city's decision to operate
its municipal line entirely separ-
ate from the T. r. & p. Co. was
made after letter had been read
to the council from A. w. Leon
ard, vice president.
Leonard said that his COM
pany was willing to operate the
new car line If the city would pay
for all equipment, including
street cars, and would insure the
company of no loss.

man contended that war is a blum
der but both pledged themselves
to do their utmost to the end that
the war shall be successful.
AS the senator sat down there
was a profound stir In the gal
leries.
Senator LaFollette, one OF the
"wilful twelve was absent until
4 o'clock when he started speak
ing.
Senators Swanson and Lodge
added their voices to the plee CO
Senator Hitchcock for immediate
strong aggressive action against
Germany.
Anticipating spirited opposition
to the war resolutions by LaFol-
lette and Stone, republicans were
preparing to rebuke the former
and the democrats the latter on
the floor.
Many members, both republic
cans and democrats, II became
known today, for some time have
figured upon taking drastic action
against LaFollette and Stone, IL
they attempted any filibustering
tactics.

Urging that there be mo
faltering, no division, no
weakness i'm the natiOn,' Sem
ator Hitchcock, upon opening
of the senate today began his
argument for passage of the
resolution that will make war
with Germany an open actu-
atty.
Floor Leader Mann and Hitch
cock, in charge of the measure

wear out the opposition OF the re-
naming wilful men.
The senate stood ready to pass
the resolution by an overwhelm-
ing majority.
mo other business will be con-
sidered until this resolution Is
passed. said Martin.
No Grudge to Settle.
Hitchcock's appeal was the
more drastic as he declared he had
always been opposed to war and
even in face of that former belief,
asked congress to pledge the ma
ton to a war that may last three
years and cost much blood sacri-
flee; a war that shall have no
Gethsemane."
1--WE want no more territory, de-
mand no indemnity, have no his
toric grudges to settle and no ra-
cial antipathies,' Hitchcock be-
gan.
1--WE alone of all the nations
will spend our treasure and lives
without hope of material gain.
I'VE are going to war to vindi-
cate honor and independence as a
great nation. We are going to
war in defense of humanity.

taken, we know the decision-it is

1.-THE issue is not war or peace, '
Senator Swanson said. War has
already been wantonly and law
lessly prosecuted against us. The
question is whether we shall ac-
cept war or cowardly and abject
submission.
Norris Opposed.

DUTY TO

Every streak of petty selfishment in Ia

plant arising. BY July l, we are told, it will
be employing 1000 men; by Oct. /, 5000. The
present payroll of the whole tideflats indus
trial district will be doubled by the middle
of summer through its coming.
While this shipyard is private enterprise,
yet genuine patriotic considerations de-
mand that it be aided in its work to the full
extent of the community resources. 1t is
going to produce needed naval and merchant
vessels. 1t must be given good highway
from the business district, car service,
switching service. Comfortable and con-
venient homes must be provided for its EN-
ployes.
Other shipbuilding plants are coming.
Furthermore, our existing factories must be
run to capacity, especially the powder works
and the smelter.

duties as Americans in whatever capacity

few days in Albuquerque this week.
Mr.. Dodd deals extensively in live
stock, sometimes feeding and fatten-
ing both cattle and sheep on his
ranch of fourteen hundred acres near
Brush, Colorado. His visit here at
this time was to purchase 5000 head
of ewes, and he secured only 1000
head, and paid. $10.5O for three and
four year olds. Mr.. Dodd owns one
OF the finest stock and farm ranches
