The proposed Constitutional amendment is the first initiated by congress since that providing for popular election of United States senators, approved in 1911. It is the first time that either branch of congress nas approved a constitutional amendment for prohibition

few years ago a similar

resolution in the house received a majority, but failed of the required twothirds.

All efforts to amend the resolution failed except for the adoption of Sen. Harding's amendment fixing the sin year?' time limit within which threefourths o* the states must ratify the amendment to make it elective. This was approved 56 to 23.'

As adopted the resolution would add the following article to the federal condition: "The manufacture, sale or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof, into, or the exportation thereof from, tha United States and all territory subjects to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited. "This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the constitution by the legislature of the several states, as provided in the constitution, within six •years from the date of the submission hereof to the states by the congress. "The congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

WABASH AVE. STORES ACCEPT HEAT CONTRACT

Decide to Go With Traction Company Rather Than Build Heating Plants.

The burning question, ""What will I the north side merchants and others in the traction torrid zone do for. warmth when the winter comes around?" was decided at a meeting in the Chamber of Commerce-late Wednesday ftfternoon.

Those who have been relying upon the traction company for heat, ever since the plant was established and who were suddenly notified the ^eating plant would be abandoned, have agreed to pay for service at a ratio of from 50 per cent above the old contract price to 100 per cent, according to the actual cost of the service. The establishments represented at the meeting were: Terre Haute Water Works company, The Collins company, Askin & Marine, Scott & Hart, Prox & Burget company, Schloss Bros., Sherman's, Buntin Drug company, M. Joseph's Sons, W. H. Paige & Co., Swope & Nehf Jewelry Co., Lee Goodman & Son, N. Rubin, J. Goldberg, and etersdorf's, Joreph Duffy, E. 11. Bryant, Spencer F. Ball, George Schaal.

I'li'rence Royse, who had oe?a en-

paged to look into the legal as'jests

caucus and reverse its decision to con-" ',1® nn tter of securm heat, reported skier only war legislation were abandoned because it will be delaying action until the next session will hold the prohibition cause.

and told of his negotiations with the traction company. "After failing to irn ress the company with ihe pro.,o*..tion we on jit.:• ered fair, the company made a counte proposition," said h® This called for an increase in tV. present rale of heat of 100 per cent. This we considered unfair.. The OO'TIDIMIV finally came bad with another proposition-—provid-ing for an increase of 50 per cent ar. a primary rate to the consumer, the company to keep tab on the actual expense of providing the heat and pay for the service in accordance, up to 100 per cent increase—a contract to be for one year only. This offer look:reasonable to me and to the rest of our committee."

James Royse, president of the Chamber of Commerce, said that he considered the traction company's offer very fair, in view of the advance of the price of coal. "Last year," said Mr. Royse, "the Terre Haute Trust company paid $1.75 for coal. Now we can't hope to ge it for less than $4. with no contract in sight. I consider it far better to accept the traction company's offer than attempt to build, and maintain, an Independent plant.

J. L. Goodman was strongly in favor of accepting the 50 per cent increase with a possibility of the increase being double, with the five-year clause eliminated. He thought it was a happy solution of a vexatious problem.

Mr. Joseph declared he was satisfied. "It's the best we can do," he said. "We are up against it," said Mr. Jame, of Goldberg's. "I find that our contract is worded so it isn't binding. It calls for thirteen months' service, but after one month's service the continuance of the service is optional." Dow R. Gwinn, of the water works: "1 consider it best to close up the contract at once. -It is no certainty we could get the boilers and pipes required in the establishment of a newplant. And pipes are three times as high as they were a year ago."

Mr. Burget, of Prox & Burget, was asked, as a man who had practical knowledge of, just what it would mean to take over the traction plant, or build a new one, declared his company was in favor of accepting the traction's new contract. "I consider the offer fair enough, in view of present and prospective conditions," said Mr. Burget. "It would be hard, if not impossible, to get material for a new plant. We have been unable to get stuff for the Davis gardens that we ordered last March."

H. A. Salchert, of the Buntin Drug company, was the one merchant who couldn't see any justice or reasoi* in the traction company's proposition "I think it's a holdup," said Mr. Salchert. "And I think we'd better sign up before we change our minds," said Mr. Silverstein.

It was put to a vote, and unanimous- i ly decided that the new contract be accepted, Mr. Salchert not being heard in the registration of a protest. All property owners in the effected district I will be notified at once. It is understood some former clients of the truetion company may refuse to sign.
