STOCKS AND BONDS

New York. December 9-Exceeding in importance and scope all other eventsSof the week in the stock market were the recommendations of the interstate com merce commission dealing with the transportation lines of the country It was generally conceded that either uni fication or absolute federal control would place the roads in a better position than they now occupy.
 The Presidents ringing address to Con- gress, declaration of war against Aus tria- a-Hungary, another acute crisis on the Italian front and a fresh Teutonic offensive in France were among the other outstanding developments that kept the market in confusion.
 Trading again fell to meager propor- tions the tendency most often being towards lower levels. Some of the more conspicuous and one time highly fa- vored railway shares recorded new min imums.
 Industrials also showed renewed un- settlement, for which humors of further governmental regulation were chiefly re- sponsible. Coppers and a few equip ments held comparatively steady. Bonds reflected the long continued stalemate in the investment situation. Internationals were affected in greater degree than others, some of the French issues declining to lowest quotations.

COTTON

New Orleans, December 9.-The price of cotton on this market last week was held below the level of the preceding weeks close throughout, chiefly because of the pressure of liquidation, prepara- tory to going over the annual crop esti-
 mate form the government the coming week.
 The lowest levels were reached Tues
 day, as the result of the stand taken
 by President Wilson against Austria, and
 the active months at that time were sent
 1S to 146, points below the preceding
 weeks close. A partial recovery came
 about during succeeding sessions and
 last prices showed net losses of $ to So points. The steadinesS of interior
 spot markets and refusal of spot holders
 to follow the decline in contracts were
 steadying influence. It was not a week
 O. large trading and, to some extent
 business was restricted by the new war
 taxes, which went into effect the first of the month.
 This week the annual crop estimate by the department of agriculture Tuesday promises to be an important influence. Many traders and brokers regard this as the most important bureau report of the year. Private crop estimates range from 10,5O0,000 bales up to 1l.250,000, not includ- ing linters. The average of expectation is generally put around 1lsO00, 900 rum ming bales.
 As sentiment stood on the weekend, 1t will require 8 report from the gov- ernment of over Il, 300 0O0 bales to cause a decline and figures under that amount to cause an advance c

Big Business

From the Indianapolis News.
 The children of the ncighborhood had started an amusement company, which they planned to operate for commercial and recreation purposes with the other children as the vic- tims, or rather, patrons. The company's s property consisted, among other things, of fine new swing. Since business was rather dull the first aft- ernoon the owners of the park" were taking turns enjoying the rides them selves. One of the little girls evident iy thought that she had not received her share of the
 George" she Cha If you don't let me swing now I'll go tell mamma! p
 George was not abashed. "Aw, Ro on" he remonstrated We're not run- ming this company on the tell-mamma plan."

IRON AND STEEL

New York, December 9.-Threatened re- duction in iron and steel prices by gov ernment action just as the industry is recovering from the effect of previous regulation is causing an unsettled feel ing in the trade, partially expressed in suspension of efforts to place impor- tant commercial orders with the mills and furnaces. There is a feeling in the trade that if the government makes ad- ditional radical changes now the effect will be disastrous, consequently efforts to further reduce selling prices, while productive costs are rising, will be viz orously opposed by representatives of the Iron and Steel institute, who, on Monday, will confer with government officials by invitation of the war indus tries board.
 The curtailment of the coke supply is believed to be due as much to the gov ernments action in at first establishing what the trade generally considers as a pdice too low for coal as to the made quate transportation service. Similar fixing of iron and steel prices, 1t is claimed, would hamper the government as much as the industry. Alien labor at the steel works, now that war has been declared against Austria, also Is serious problem.
 A prominent feature of the steel trade is the vigorous distribution of govern ment war orders. Allotments to mills range from 5000 to 15o,00O tons a day The government is making a special drive to increase the output of heavy forgings and of all ordinary steel.

and by robbing the new prairie soil Of
its fertility and by contracting debts
and rating the land at an increased
valuation, the people of the state have
made a living with some show Of
prosperity, but the total value Of all
buildings and permanent improve
ments in the state is not moro than
the sum stotal Of the public and pri-
vate debts and the cost Of replacing
the soil fertility. Hence. We conclude
the people have been working for q
mere living; they have been made
hewers Of wood and drawers Of water
and slaves to the corporations Of 9TH
er states. The wealth and products Of
the toilers flow out of the state in q
continuous stream to enrich and build
up cities. factories, packing plants,
combines and trusts in other states
Under proper amended constttu-
ton, proper laws and an honest eff
cient administration, the people may
retain the products Of their industry
and in every year add to their wealth
millions on millions Of dollars. Now
is the time for the leaders Of civic
reform to consult and to act wisely
and to prescribe a just remedy for the
great social wrongs, as think most Of
the senate who voted against House
Bill a. did so on principle, and they
are not disposed to block the wheels
Of progress by voting against bill
for a constitutional convention.
Grand Forks herald., 1917-02-05
Amending the Constitution
(By Justice J. e. Robinson. (,

House Bill No. "A is no more. The
senate has held that 1t did not present
the proper method Of amending the
constitution; that the business of a
legislative assembly is to make law
and not to draft and submit new con-
stitutions. Thus the supreme court is
relieved from the responsibility Of de-
Gliding the question. If the bill had
passed. tho question was sure to be
submitted to the supreme court. the
same as the capital removal case. by
a suit to enjoin the submission Of the
measure to vote Of the people. And
of course, whether right or wrong the,
the decision Of the highest judicial
tribunal is final and conclusive.
No one really questions the pro-
piety of amending the constitution,
but Of course it must be done in a
proper manner so that when done it
will be above question and suspicion
There ts way to do 1t within the
present year. 1t can be done pursu-
ant to valid law providing for q con-
stitutional convention and a special
election to ratify the measures approx
ed and submitted by the convention.
Under the present constitution the
people have had some show of pros
perity by reason Of our accession to a
vast, new and fertile prairie country,
probably one hundred times more val
liable and productive than the Land
OF Canaan. By working late and early
