BRANCH LINE FOLKS TO
HAVE HEARING TOMORROW

A hearing for better train service on
the various branch lines Of the North
western railway in this part of the state,
will be held at Sleepy Eye tomorrow,
when members of the Minnesota Rail
road and Warehouse Commission will
hear complaints of those towns affected.
It is expected that New Ulm will be
represented by committee of the Com
mercial Club and make a plea for the
restoration of another train on the
branch line between this city and st.
Peter. Towns along the Marshall, Red
wood Falls and Vesta branches are
interested in the hearing and their repre-
sentatives are expected to be out in force
for the hearing. What the people on
those branches want is eastbound con-
nections following the afternoon trains,
as was the case before the change was
made some months ago. S
So far as New Ulm is concerned. the
town had no voice in arranging for the
hearing, but President Ottomeyer of the
Commercial Club, has considered the
time opportune to place the desires of
this city before the commission, and this
will probably be done.
The hearing was to have been held
several weeks ago, but owing to the
snow blockade at that time, it was post
poned, members of the commission
having been unable to reach Sleepy Eye
for the meeting. -.

Miss Helen Sonday visited over Sun
day with New Ulm friends. Miss
Sonday says that during four months just
past, she has had pupils in her school
in District No. 33 who have been per-
feet in attendance in spite of the cold
and storms Of January and February.
There are 81 pupils enrolled and consider
ing the wether the record is indeed a
remarkable one, and shows the interest
the parents as we'll as children take in
the school. The District is a very pro-
gressive one and the board has had in
stalled one of the sanitary bubbling foun-
tains to take the place of the old unsan-
itary common drinking cup.

The leaders Of the Nonpartisan
League movement have at last an
nounced that they are going to work
for the calling of a constitutional con-
vention.I The people Of North Dakota
feel that the time has come when the
state needs constitution in keeping
with the times. The present consti-
tuition is largely one Of restriction.
making it impossible almost to put into
active operation any radical or pro-
gressive legislation.
5 To amend the constitution is slow
and uncertain process. The calling OF
u constitutional convention is at this
time the logical step to take Already
experts are at work on a new consti-
tuition that will be submitted to the
convention to be accepted. rejected or
made over, but at least it will be some-
thing to start from. The first thought
in the minds of the farmers of the new
document will be to so write the con-
stitution that it will be easy and not
hard to let the people put into laws
their wishes.
One reason why a constitution is de-
sirable at this time is because the pro-
gram of the farmers is such a revolu.
tionary one that it is next to impossi-
BILE to accomplish their will without
running up against wall in the pres
ent constitution. All state constitu-
tons should be written in this day not
for the purpose Of making changes
hard, but with the end in view of maxi
ing it simple and easy for the majority
to speedily put their desires into laws.
and into laws that will not be over
turned and set aside by the courts.
North Dakota needs a new constitu-
ticn, the agricultural interests are
paramount in this state, and it is right
that the new constitution should be
written by and voice the will of the
agriculturalists.

practically all hold are Republi-
cans. They also point that the districts
of most Of the holdovers showed at
the last election that they are over
whelmingly in favor of the League pro-
gram and that the hold overs will not
oppose their constituency, even if
they would personally like to.
Following is the list of the senate
committees. Those which are marked
with star (') are controlled by hold
over senator's and newly elected SEN
ators who did not have the farmers

Out of 40 chairmanships Of commit
tees the Leuguers are given only eight.
AS a whole the committees of which
League membes have been made chair
men or given majority are unirn-
pOrtant, while all the big important
committees have been packed with
hold-over senators.
The excuse for this practically
complete ignoring Of the senators
elected on the farmers platform
last fall, as given by hoId-over
senators, is that the farmers men
lack Experience" and capacity"
to handle properly the commit
tees. Several hoId-over senator's
have stated that "the League SEN
ators have been given more rec
ognition than a minority of its size
in the senate usually has been
given". The farmers senators,
who have come to Bismarck with
the single aim of executing the de-
rands Of the people at the last
election, have been chagrined by
this pushing aside of themselves
and the cause they represent. They
point out that control of only six
committees out Of 40 and only eight
chairmanships out of 40, and those
on mostly unimportant committees,
can hardly be called and recogni-
ton at all for the farmers Of North
Dakota.

STEAMROLLER WORKED
FINE IN THE SENATE

The opposition steamroller in the
senate certainly did its work up in
great shape. The farmers senators
were given a majority on the commit
tees on enrolled and engrossed bills,
which has no authority except to check
up the bills as enrolled and engrossed:
on the committee on Statistics"
which has no important duties what
ever; on charitable institutions, which
is an unimportant committee with lit
tie to do; on warehouse and grain
grading, on irrigation and drainage
and on corporations other than muni-
cipal. These latter three are more inn
portant committees than the first three
but are not numbered among the real
big important committee assignments
of the senate.

senators have been packed on the
agricultural committee, the appro-
priations committee, the bank and
