MOVE TO RESTORE STATE
 ..RIGHTS" IS LAUNCHED
Wisconsin Solon Says National Gov. ernment Has Encroached
 Upon Them

Madison, Wis, Feb. 10.-A move to have Wisconsin take the initiative in restoring to states of the nation the rights lost through concentra- tion of power in the federal govern ment was made in the Senate today by Timothy Burke of Green Bay in the form of an appeal addressed to all state legislatures calling on them to request a federal constitutional convention.
 The joint resolution he introduced declared that the fundamental rights of self government guaranteed by the tenth constitutional amendment had been encroached upon by the national government.
 Senator Burke's motive represents the specialization of sentiment in Wisconsin that powers of the state are steadily being drawn away by gradual extension of the federal au- thority through legislative enact ments and executive and department tai order.
 Sentor Burke declared that the purpose of his resolution was to Safeguard the self-governing power of the states and specifically to de fine the powers of the federal gov ernment so as to restore to the peo- pie the rights of home rule as origi- nally intended in the federal consti- tution"
 ''The present policy of the govern ! ment,' according to statement ot the resolution, "contemplates nc longer that the people should uphold the national government but that the national government should uphold the people. The day of awakening has arrived and the growing power of the national government must be further curtailed by specific constitutional amendment clearly defining the pow CT of Congress"

Mir. K. A. Harper of Potomac, H., was looking after his business inter- ests here last week and while here made this office a pleasant call. Mir. Marshall is telling how the Volstead act affected the communion services of negro congregation down south. The parson was unable to find any communion wine, so he got one of the sisters to make some. She did, out of persimmons. It tasted well, and the ceremonies were success until all mouths so puck cred they had to whistle the dox- ology.
 About 100 members of Congress, the retirement of many of whom is with public approval, are packing up to go back on March 4. They are sending their things ahead while they still are able to use the postoffice frank One member sent out 50 mail sacks with Congressional Records to give him light reading mater dur ing the long winter evenings at home for the next two years.

ON STOCK LIST

New York, Dec. 5.-Continued
apathy of rails and oils, in the face
of general strength in almost every
other branch of the stock list was
the striking feature of the morning
session of the stock exchange to-
day. Equipment assumed a COM
handing position under lead OF
American Locomotive which rose
four points. Motors and their sub
salaries as marked by Studebaker,
Chandler, Pierce-Arrow preferred,
Bosch Magnetic and Stromberg rose
l to 2 points. Shippings, coalers
and textiles held their gains. To-
baccos and feathers became more
reactionary and standard Oil of
New Jersey fell three points. Lib
erty second and fourth AIS, and
Victory AIS attained new high &c
ords for the year. Call moneyOpen-
ed at 5 per cent.
Shipping shares were in further
demand at the opening of today's
stock market, probably as q result
of subsidiary reports from washing
ton. American International, Amer
lean Mercantile preferred were
among the active and strong fea-
lures of the initial dealings. Inter
national Harvester, Pullman, Gen
eral Electric, General Wooden, Unit
ed Rubber, Allied Chemical, Cru
chile Steel and Transcontinental
Oil also were firm to strong. High
class rails were ignored aside from
nominal dealings in coalers and the
usual favorites in the oil and in
dustrial groups. Leather, tobacco
and mail order issues eased mod
erately.

readily answer with the statement
that of course the United States in
reducing her naval streagth was
not planning to build up naval fort
iications greater than those she
already possessed This stould be
seized upon with gratifc< ltion by
the Japanese delegates aSk an in
formal assurance warrantnsg Japan
in accepting the American naval
ratio in entirety. Nj. Hughes
would not hesitate to remove any
apprehensions the Japanese may
have had If il led 60 a cl caring of
the air. But of one thing this or
respondent has been assured. The
United States delegation has not
felt it advisable to depart in any
sense from the fundamentals laid
down in the original Hughes pro-
gram and anything said since then
which might be construed as a con
cession or an assurance is simply
an explanation of the American
governments intentions. Some ex-
perts have gone so far as to caku-
late that a pledge from the United
States not to build up present
for~tifcations is as good TO the Jan
anese as getting the 10-10-7 ratio
which they have been seeking. II
this is true, the Japanese are at
taching far more importance to
f~ertiications than are the Ameri-
can naval experts, who admit that
the present Notifications in the far
east are hardly effective even for
a navy such as America was plan
ming before she proposed the con-
ference plan of reduction of naval
armament. So America can well at
ford to give Japan the assurance
concerning future Notifications.
This may have been the turning
point in the Friday meeting but in
any event the fact is the Japanese
delegation saw that Mr.. Hughes
meant business and that he wasn't
disposed to go further in the con-
ference without getting an accept
ance or rejection on the question of
capital ships and the scrapping of
all building programs.
