GET TOGETHER FOR
PERMANENT PROSPERITY

Every man and engaged In
American factories, mills and mines,
whether they know English or speak
1t, are naturalized or intend to be-
come citizens, have a direct interest
in maintaining industrial prosperity.
When times are good, all workers
should not only be thrifty in habit and
lay up a little something for possible
rainy days, but they should do all they
can to keep the good times with us,
Simply because your language is diff
ferent from that of the foreman, over
seer, superintendent, manager or owner
of the plant in which you earn a living,
is no excuse for misunderstanding your
w common interest in prosperity by
hating your partner in your own in
dustry or listening to and following
the gospel. of dissension and violence
which selfish agitators so often preach.
Do not blindly follow the man who
tells you how hard your lot is. Often
he is doing so untruthfully and for the
purpose of getting you to contribute
membership money for his own support

We have not the slightest idea what
profit there will be in the making of
these shells. We do not know that
there will be any. There is no certain
ty that it would be possible for US to
deliver a shell to meet the test.
For officers in the Navy to assume
that any bid made under such condi.
lions is ''%exorbitant'' is utterly unfair.

Such was the experience in the light
of which we were called upon recent

the usual premium because the APP

DEMAND WAR
IN ARGENTINA
Congress Said to Favor a
Break with Germany.
Threaten Crisis.

A serious internal political crisis will
be precipitated In Argentina unless
President Irigoyen and his admins
tration Immediately announce willing
ness to declare war on Germany.
This Interpretation was placed In
high quarters on dispatches received
yesterday from the South American
Republic. telling OF the great .infiam-
nation of popular Indignation against
Germany as a result Of the revelation
Of the way in which Luxburg was
backed by the German foreign ONCE
and of the manner in which the Presi-
dent settled his dispute over Argentine
ships.
Lacking a prompt declaration by the
Irigoyen administration, dispatches
received here yesterday indicate that
the Congress will take the bit in its
teeth and demand q statement.
Have Majority.
,, The Conservatives, enthusia stically
committed to war, have a comforta-
BILE majority in the Congress.
The President has the veto power
over a declaration Of war by Congress,
however. and the leaders have been
reluctant to take this step until they
are sure 1t can be accomplished with
out the appearance Of internal fric-
ton.
In some quarters It Is understood as
meaning that the PRECEDENT is delaying
in order to permit himself to be forced
into the war by popular clamor. thus
saving his own face upon his hitherto
consistent stand for enutrality.
Frederick Jessup Stimson, American
Ambassador at Buenos Aires, reported
to the State Department that fifty
seven dispatches had been made pab-
lie in Argentina Only forty were
given out by the State Department
here. 1t was officially learned later
in the day, however, that none Of the
additional messages made public In
Buenos Aires contained anything or
special interest. They were merely
routine reports and instructions.

JUDGE ROB-

AN OPINION
on PENO|NG CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION QUESTION
(By the Associated Press)

Bismark, Jan 15-Justice ]. E.
Robinson of the supreme court, in a.
authorized statement given 10 ~
newspaper correspondent this HON
ing defined methods by which the
constitution can be amended and he
holds that the procedure initiated by
the Non-Partisan league in the house
proposing revision" of the state con-
stitutioh is in reality an amendment
procedure and must take the usual
course of amendments.
'"There are two methods of amend
ing the constitution" said Justice
Robinson" lone is the procedure
provided by the constitution under
which an amendment must pass two
legislative assemblies and ther he
submitted to the people for ratiEca-
ton. The other is the holding Of q
convention. Calling a thing s.'mc-
thing else does rot make 1t that
thing. The procedure now before the
Legislature is purely amendment pro-
cedure."
Justice Robinson, elected it was
said through Non-Partisan league
support, apparently takes an entirely
Opposite view from that of the league
leaders in his construction Of pro-
|ceedings by which the league has pro-
posed a complete revision of the con-
|stitution.
His statement is expected to play
an important part in the fight now
|centering on constitutional revision
plans.
League leaders have maintained
that revision can be brought about by

!" REVISION !" AND
:" AMENDMENT .
NOT The SAME
Referendum and Recall in
Redraft Of Constitution.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 16-(Spe-
ciaD People are forgetting the dis
advantages of the "Blue Laws" and
are giving attention to the latest ac-
tion of the governor in appointing a
new board of regents, the possibili-
ties of what may also happen to the
state board of control and to the pro-
posed constitutional revision.
Think Robinson in Error.
League leaders, attorneys and
others are not worrying over the pub
lished statements of Associate JUS
tice ]. E. Robinson, to the effect that
the proposed plan of constitutional
revision Cannot be DONE" They
contend that revision. and "amend-
ment" do not mean the same and
believe the Judge is in error.
The latest talk around the hotel
lobbies is that if the constitutional
revision resolution passes that in
junction proceedings will be insti-
tuted against the secretary of state
to prevent it's submission to the peo-
pie. Prominent attorneys, who are
known to be very adverse to the bill,
are stating that it is their opinion
that the method of procedure is H.
legal and unconstitutional, irregular
and not according to precedent and
custom. It is stated that the Indiana
Legislature attempted to do the same
thing once upon time and the pro-
ceedings were blocked by an injunc-
ton. 1t is expected that the same
method will be resorted to in this
case.
Will Extend Car Line.
The suggestion by the budget
board that North Dakota's first and
only publicly owned utility-the cap
ital street-car line-be abandoned,
has met with resentment from the
new administration. Not, only will
the enterprise not be discontinued, ac-
cording to league leaders and prom
inent members of the new admins
tration, but on the contrary it will
be extended. According to league
leaders the system will be extended
to connect all the state institutions
located in this part of the state-the
capitol, the penitentiary and the re-
form school, and later on the Indian
school and Fort Lincoln.
Railroad companies will be obliged
to reconstruct eighty per cent. of the
waiting rooms in the state If House
Bill No. 43, introduced by Charles
Peterson of Towner, becomes law
The bill requires separate waiting
rooms for women in all incorporated
towns, cities and villages with more
than 499 population.
