THE CONSTITUTIONAL
CONVENTION

One of the big questions of the day
is as to when the Illinois constitu-
tional convention shall be called,
where it shall be held, and how the
102 delegates who will sit in It are to
be chosen are among the most impor-
tant questions that will come before
the new Illinois legislature that as
sembles in Springfield Wednesday,
Jan. 8.
1t is conceded that the proposition
to call the convention was ratified on
Nov. by majority of the total vote
cast of at least $4,000 There seems
to be no doubt but the new general
assembly, following its constitutional
duty. will pass the enabling act that
fixes the date and place for the assem-
bling Of the convention, prescribes the
method of electing the 102 delegates
fixes their compensation, and makes
appropriation for the expenses Of the
convention.
Already there are symptoms that
there is to be hard fight over this
bill.
The constitution Of 1870 provides
that two delegates shall be elected
from each senatorial district as they
now exist.
Here is where the first argument
seems to have arisen. Close con
struction of this section, 1t is claimed
in some quarters, prevents the non
partisan election of convention dele
gates, and requires that delegates
shall be nominated in party primaries
Politically, as the districts now
stand, there are nineteen districts In
Cook county, six of which are clearly
Democratic and thirteen undoubtedly
Republican. Downstate there are only
four districts out of thirty.two that
are Democratic, with twenty.eight Re
publican.
This would seem to indicate that II
is the Republicans who object to the
non-partisan system of electing dele
gates. The objection. however, comes
from Democratic quarters, chiefly
from Democrats who will be in the
next legislature. who are lined up al
all. points against woman suffrage and
who fought the constitutional conven
ton proposal at all stages Of its legis
lative progress.

BUSBY FOR
Settlement

Willingness to cooperate in any
movement that will better the trans
portation system Of Chicago was ex-
pressed by Leonard A. Busby, presi-
dent of the Chicago Surface Lines, in
statement to the city council COM
mittee on local transportation. The
aldermen were considering Mayor
Thompson's recommendation that for.
fixture proceedings be brought be-
cause of alleged failure of the surface
line companies to comply with the
terms of the 1907 ordinances. The
mayors contentious were riddled by
Walter l.. Fisher, traction counsel for
the city, and Mr.. Busby.
Tho service is now the best which
Il is practical to maintain under exist
ing physical conditions, and separate
ownership and operation of the sur
face and elevated lines said Mr..
Busby.
The reason we cannot get better
service during the rush hours and
carry more people with greater speed
and comfort is that It is physically i'm
possible to operate more cars during
the rush hours In or through the con-
gested down town district. These con-
ditions in the down town district i'm
pose limitations on the service out
side this district, for the reason that
the main trunk lines from the outlying
sections of the city nearly all run into
or through this congested territory.
"The congestion in the territory
from Chicago avenue to ed street,
and from Halsted street to the lake
IS increasing every year, and traffic
conditions are growing worse.
THE only solution practicable is the
unification of the surface and elevated
lines, and the construction of subways
through the congested territory. We
cannot stop where we are. A solution
of the problem must be found.
Il wish to make 1t plain that the
surface line companies will cooperate
with the city in any plan which will
furnish better conditions"

AMERICANS PUT
NEW SPIRIT IN
THE ALLIES

Washington, D. C.-What the be-
s I'M! of the new year finds at the
battle fronts is outlined by Secretary
Of War Baker in his weekly review of
military operations. issued on the eve
ming of Dec. 31st.
In the west, he says, the British
dominate the Flanders plain with a
great wedge into the principal Ger
man line of defense at Cambria, while
the French. with their own lines un-
broken, hold the key to the Laon area
thru the capture of Chemin des Danes.
Italy, supported by the allies; is
holding firm, while the enemy, after
battering in vain for six weeks against
the defenders. is busy preparing for a
renewed offensive.
OF Russia the review merely says
the Germans are endeavoring to per-
suade that country that they are eag-
er to assist in restoring normal con-
ditions and that the German embassy
building at Petrograd is being made
ready for occupancy.
While the operation of the Ameri-
can troops at the front has been con-
fined to narrow limits, the secretary
says their presence has heartened the
allies and increased faith in final vic
tory.
The review follows in part:
The military situation at the begin.
ming of the new year is as follows:
"1n the west the British in the Yprea
salient occupy the high ground of the
Passchendaele ridge and dominate the
Flanders plain.
"Their wedge in front of Cambria
has ripped a great gap in the princi.
pal German line of defense.

NlstFict. ASIDE from the irrigated
section Sedgwick county can boast Of
large area Of dry farming table
land, which in many instances during
the past year the crops raised there
from have more than paid for the price
of the land. and it common express
sion from visitors to this section for
them to remark that at is the best we
have seen anywhere" And these
statements have been backed up by .
large number Of farmers from the
east purchasing tracts of land, and
coming here to make their home and
enjoy the prosperity of this section.
Sugar beets, wheat, rye. oats, barley,
corn, beans and other cereals, alfalfa
and other stock feeds. and potatoes
are cultivated extensively by our
farmers. The production Of sugar
beets in the irrigated section is one Of
the chief crops, and it is only ques-
ton of time until this section will b
the home of modern sugar factory.
to take care of the large yield Of thia
crop. Wheat has produced forty to
sixty bushels per acre for several
years under irrigation, where it has
been scientifically tended; when not
irrigated, thirty-fivc to thirty eight
bushels was the yield.
Dairying and stock raising is no
| small industry in this county, and ev-
cry year sees this industry carried on
more extensively and it is growing to
be very profitable.
Many improvements have been made
in Sedgwick county during the past
year, due to the rapid progress being
made in all lines. A trip out over the
county will convince you that there is
prosperity on all sides, and that the
rural sections are building up in a
most substantial manner, and it is an
unusual occurrence to pass farm
place where there is not in evidence a
new house or barn, granary, garage,
ilo, or some other permanent improve
ment, which speifs PROSPERITY in
the simplest way.
Yes, the year 1917 has been a not
able one for Sedgwick county, and in
dications point that the year 1918 will
bring even greater results in improve
ments along lines which go hand in
hand with the fertility Of this section
and the bounteous crops derived by
the Sedgwick county farmer from the
results of his diligent labors.

Among these was the matter of tele-

a formal manner In response to the
complaints registered, Mr. Croll made
short talk, explaining the situation
and stated that the company would
use their best efforts to remedy the
service as much as possible. He fur
ther stated that owing TO the scarcity

and this feature no doubt will result
in an even greater crop production for
the year 1918.
Throughout the county the popula-
tion has increased materially, and
naturally the acreage in all crop cult
walton has become larger and larger.
In 1918 and succeeding years this
growth in population and acreage of
cultivated land will continue, as all in
dications point that there will be a
large number more of newcomers to
this fertile section in the early future,
they coming here to make their home
where many opportunities abound and
where, by diligent labor. most salts.
factory results are to be obtained.
SedRwick county is situated in the
very northeastern corner of the state
More than four fifths Of its total area
of 1884, acres is under private con-
troll. A very small tract Of govern
ment land, only about 200 acres, open
to entry remains. Excepting line Of
hills following the South Platte river,
this territory is either flat or slight
ly rolling Besides the South Platte
river, strong underflow, reached by
drilling to an ordinary depth, furnishes
dependable supply of water for all
purposes
The principal occupations in Sedg-
wick county are general farming,
dairying and stockraising. There is
a large tract of irrigated land, watered
from the Jumbo reservoir, which is
controlled by the Julesburg Irrigation
