NEW CONSTITUTION .
COMING
Supporters of tho movo for n con
stitutional convention aro confident
that tho flftloth gonoral nssombly will
adopt a rosolutlon to submit tho ques
tion to a voto of tho pcoplo.
Ton votes woro lacking whon tho at
tompt was mado to put It through tho
houso on March 31, 1915, after tho son
nto had given the rosolutlon tho re
quired two-thirds majority.
Fifty out of tho ninety-two mombors
who voted for tho resolution In tho
forty-ninth session will roturn to tho
flftloth. Tho supporters of tho "con
con" dccloro they know that thoy may
count upon not loss than thirty-eight
of tho forty-two who tako tho places
of tho others being with thorn.
Twenty of tho thirty-two mombors
who voted against tho rosolutlon bo
foro wero ro-olected to tho houso,
which, opponents of tho plan say, Is
a bettor showing than tho other sldo
mado.
Slxteon of tho sovontoen whoso
names do not appoar on tho roll call
wero ro-olected, nnd It Is reasonablo
to supposo that most of thorn will
dodgo tho Issuo again and bo absent
whon tho voto is taken in tho noxt
houso.
It Is then necessary for tho pro
motors of a convention to got tholr
strength from tho new members. This
thoy Bay thoy can do nnd thoy liavo
hopos of winning ovor somo of tho
thirty-two who voted against them In
tho last session.
No pledges havo boon oxactod from
tho mombors this year, according to
report. Gcorgo E. Colo, Sholby M.
Singleton nnd tholr associates In tho
organizations that always havo boon,
behind tho convention movo havo
started to work rounding up tho
mombors.

Many Think the Population
Underestimated.
Has Chicago been slighted by tho
United Stntes census enumerators?
A great many business men and pub
lic officers bollovo that tho govern
ment coiiBim bureau Is grossly undor
cstlmntjng tho population of Chicago
by putting It at 2,497,722, when othor
consus inkers In tho city plnco tho
population ns high as 2,800,000.
Thoy pointed out that tlirco cen
suses taken within tho last year all
glvo a higher population than tho
govornmont. Thoy wero of tho opin
ion that tho great Industrial prosper
ity enjoyed in Chicago slnco 1914 has
brought thousands of now residents
horo and established a much higher
rato of yearly lncrcaso than tho offi
cial government census-takers allow
for.
Coincident with tho announcement
of tho Government consul records tho
census taken by tho Chicago postof-
flco was mado public by Postmastor
Daniel Campbell. It places .the popu
lation nt approximately 2i$00',000, -This
calculation Is mado with Information
In reports of letter carriers as to tho
numbor of parsons .who received mall
during tho year. Postmaster Camp-'
boll bollevcs its accuracy is nearer
correct than censuses based' on othor
methods of estimation.
Another census taken by tho Chi
cago Directory Company places tho
population nt 2.G10.000. This flguro
Is reached by comparing tho ratio of
tho last official population, which wob
2,185,282, to tho, numbor of names In
tho 191G directory.
A third consus in tho report of Wil
liam L. Bodino, Buporlntondont of
compulsory education, gives tho popu
lation of Chicago ns 2,550,000. Tho
roport says in part:
"Based upon tho minor population
consorvatlvo multlplo which proved
tho only ono successfully close to tho
actual federal enumeration of total
population In 1910, I ostlmato tho
total population of all ngos In Chica
go In 1916 to bo 2,550,000. Tho school
consus in 1914, whon tho enumeration
covered all ages, showed tho total pop
ulation to bo 2,437,520, which would
bo an increase in total population In
two years of 112,474,"
Engineers Of tho Chicago Tolephono
Company estimate the population at
2.GOO.00O. Thoy dotormino this from
tho number of telephones in use and
tho Increase of tolephono Installa

DEMAND EXPORT DUTY
With abundanco or everything in

Tho reason for this Is tho fact that tho
foreign markets aro ready to tako all

A big export duty is tho only thing
that will protect Amorlcans.
