Comments on Weeks News
(From American Commonwealth F.

The Constitution provides for
amendments when they are deem
ed necessary by the people. The
League serves notice that it will
accept only amendments which
care in harmony with its funda-
mental principles. Amendments
which would overthrow the dual
form of government or break
down the division of authority
among the legislative, executive,
and judicial branches are outside
this category" This seems to
mean that Liberty League would
declare unconstitutional any con-
stitutional amendment to increase
the power of the federal govern
ment Con child labor for example)
or to curb the power of the Sup
RENE Court, or to make other
changes which it considers q
threat to the power of the men
whom it represents.
It also calls for further elucid-
alton. If the sovereign people Of
the United States solemnly de-
eide to amend their basic law in
a way which this super-govern-
ment disapproves, what measure
will the super government, the
Liberty League, take to nipple
ment its decision. Will it go sc
far as to declare war on the peo'
pie of the United States?

AAC 4OIOW4nS ISCCer explaining
the situation at Fort Peck was
sent in behalf of the hungry and
unemployed men by Clara Mae
Perkins:
Glasgow, Mont,
Jan. 5, 1886
Senator B. K. Wheeler,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Senator Wheeler,
I wondered for long time why
the government built only 300
houses in Fort Peck for a pro-
ject which was to employ 1000
men. Now l know. The govern
ment had had experience in other
places and wanted the men live
far enough away so that they
would not be asphyxiated by the
graft and corruption. / know that
there have been whitewashes of
. this graft and corruption and that
: the Kansas City Colonel thinks
. that everything is hunkydOry, but
e the workers have different Opin-
e ion. l know because l tried to tell
= one of them what the Kansas City
r colonel said about how the investi-
e CATION showed that there were no
n justifiable grounds for complaint.
d He said, "But I have worked on
d the project"
e I ran into a man the other day
who had worked $4,000 worth for
d subcontractor and had never
been able to get a cent from him.
y All his property was IN some
10 body else's name. He knew other
a, workers who had had the same
c. experience. He was in the RELIEF
As office applying for relief when
saw him.
at Another man 1 know is miner
ry working in Mason and Walsn's
is tunnels. He is classed as drlHel
e, and gets ninety cents an noul
r. instead of the dollar twenty. Whlci
is posted as the rate which TIT
miners should be getting. In fact
Mason and Walsh hold world
record for building l don't know
how many feet of tunnel it j
now without employing a singh
,r+ miner.
80 And you ought to hear the wa
t"o a crowd reacts when someOn
.ne mentions Ed Miller, the reemploy
IRE ment man here in Glasgow. EV
ne erybody thinks that you gave nj!
'il0 the Job and are keeping him,
it. It's probably a good thing tina
Won won't need any Of their vol
es for five more yeasr.
L. Anothe worker I know cam
lIsI here with a thousand dollar
. sn5 built a house in Wheeler, and b
"a and his two sons worked steadll
~ ~. for % months. They were laid d
Nv. tV- the first of November. Now the
1o4 are on relief. l know that the
1 were very extravagant and tnre
aIS awav their money. In fact, inc
~ ~ even went to the movies once.
- remember hearing you speak !
e the school house here when yc
10 ~ were running for reelection la
o dS, wear. You talked lot about Wn;
"a Won had done for the workers
getting Fort Peck Dan started
:, rive them employment. 1c
ga sbo1ld come here and see VIII;

It's twenty below here and u
