ASKS AID FOR
BRIDGE OVER
!. !. 3. THE. MISSOURI

A resolution calling upon the feder-
al government for federal aid for the
building of one or more wagon bridg-
es across the Missouri river was in
troduced in the senate this afternoon
by Senator King of Burleigh county.
The resolution sets forth the fact
that the development of millions Of
valuable land owned by the federal
government and the state is retarded
by the lack of practical means of
crossing the Missouri and that the
construction of suitable bridges by ad-
joining counties would place too great
a burden on the local community.
The resolution asks that federal aid
be provided for the building Of wagon
bridges in the same manner as is now
provided for the building Of public
highways.

CONSTITUTIONS
SAY NOTHING ON
CHANGE notice
Townley Says People Are sover-
eign-Can Change Govern
ment When They Wish
DECLARES IT IS GOING 10
BE DONE PRETTY QUICK

A. C. TOWnley, president or the
Non-partisan league, addressing an
audience OF about 500 men in the
Grand theatre Sunday afternoon, de-
clared that the constitution of the
state, and the constitution OF the Unis,
ed States say nOhing about how a
change shall be submitted.
But your constitution does say,
said the president, that the people
of the state are the sovereign power
and they can change their. govern
ment any time they want. And we
want to. And we are ging to! And
we are going to do it pretty quick.
81 asked an attorney yesterday If
the present constitution of the state
of North Dakota said anything about
how a new constitution was to be
submitted? He said it did not. |
asked him if the constitution OF the
United States said anything about
how new constitution was to be
submitted to the people. He said it
did not. asked him then, who
adopted this constitution, and he said
the people of this state.
81 said are those people still here?
He said they are, most of them and
some more. | asked him If the peO-
pie didn't have the right to do what
the people did q years ago. He said
they did not do it that way in Texas,
or in New Hampshire, or in some
other place. But | would like to
know whether the state Of North Da-
kota is being run by the constitution
of Texas. Alabama, South America.
or Mexico?"
Time is Ripe.
President Townley declared that
when the time is ripe the league will
attempt to emulate the typograph-
ical union in establishing home for
aged and decrepit workers.
"Not for the members of the
league" said Townley. "That would
be impossible. There are too many
of them. But, still I believe, it is up
to this organization to establish a
home after the manner of the home
established by the typographical un-
ion. would make this difference,
however. l would establish and main
tain this home Of the bouty and
the generous spirit of the members Of
the league and would establish it
to take care in the years to come Of
the aged and decrepit and lame duck
politicians that the league is going to
put out of business.
81 would go further than that and
when the organization is big enough
so that its resources will permit, I
would establish home covering ter
ritory enough to take care not only
of the lame duck politicians, but the
reporters and editors of newspapers
that served the old politicians, be-
cause they will need place to 60
to-"
The mass meeting was held under
the auspices of the Bismarck Typo
graphical union and was presided
over by Frank J. Milhollan, president
of that organization. Among other
speakers were, Attorney Arthur LIE
Sueur, who spoke on House Bill Al.
and Editor Thomason, who discussed
legislation before the legislature re-
latjng to labor.

CABINET CHANGES

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The expected
cabinet changes will not, # ever, come
at this time, or at least until after the
presidents second Inauguration, it is
believed here In all cases it is stated
that cabinet designations, if any are
to come, will be voluntary. The
changes will seriously complicate
things in official Washington, the most
important of which is the report that
Secretary Lansing will succeed Am
bassador Page at London. This shift
is said to be based only on reports that
Secretary of Agriculture Houston will
leave his post probably early in the
summer, it was reliably stated.
