constitutional Amendment Proposed to
Give the Presldene that Power.
WAsHINGToN. March 20.-The ques-
tion of amending the constitution of the
Lnited States SO as 70 give the president
tine right t0 veto items Of appropriation
bills has long been one THAT many mem
bers of congress have given considerable
thought to. 1t IS well known that the
chief executive finds provisions I'M these
bills that are Objectionable to him, yet
rather than sacrifice the numerous items
which would result from a veto, he signs
the oils and they become laws as
whole.
Fruitless efforts have been made In
previous congresses to remedy this un-
satisfactory condition Of affairs and in
made.
Representative De Almond of Missouri
has introduced in the house a resolution
amending the constitution SO as to en-
power the president to veto one Or more
items Of an appropriation bill Speaking
to q reporter today, Dir. De Almond said.
ssIt has become quite the fashion of late
years to load down appropriation bills
with all kinds Of riders OF course the
great appropriation bills must be passed
or the wheels of the government would
stop.
'sGreat Inconvenience, even hardship,
may result from a veto, and yet the bill
may contain items which have not in
fact and oughtnot to have the presiden-
tial approval With the constitution
amended as suggested. the president
would refer back to congress the Ques-
ton Of whether Objectionable items
should remain in the bill, or 60 out Of it,"
