FIRST AND SECOND
MONDAYS In DECEMBER

Congressman Clifton n. Macarthur
of Oregon is the author of two pro-
posed amendments to the Constitu-
ton recently introduced in the
House of Representatives. Both aim
to reduce the time which now elapses
between election of President, Sena-
tors, and Representatives. and the
date upon which they take their
oaths of Office and enter upon dis
charge of their duties.
AS the Constitution and the old
laws now provide, the President as
sumes control of the executive branch
Of the government on March 4. four
months after the people have elected
him chief executive. Senators and
Congressman are compelled to walt
until the first Monday in December
of the following year, a delay OF thir-
teen months. before they are able to
participate in national legislation,
unless the President in the meantime
sees fit to call a special session OF
Congress.

clares Mr.. Macarthur, "tolerates the
grotesque conditions which surround
the election and inauguration of the

President of the United States and
the election and qualification of Rep
resentatives and Senator's" AS OBJ
jections to our present system, he
charges that often legislative and
executive authority are permitted to
remain in the hands of political par
ties and individuals who have been
discredited at the most recent cleo
tons.
The period of depression and I'M
certainty between elections and the
time when the victorious party as
sumes control of national affairs
should be prevented. AS an instance
of the harm which may come to the
country as a result of those long de-
lays. Mr.. Macarthur cites the vacil-
lating policy of President Buchanan
following Lincoln's first election.
Had Lincoln been able to take his
seat in December following his cleo
tion," he asserts, "the Civil war
might have been averted."
The first of Congressman Near
thurs amendments fixes the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in
November as election day, and pro-
vides that the terms of service of
Senators and Representatives shall
begin on the first Monday in Decem-
Der of the same year, instead of
March 4 of the following year. Ii
automatically abolishes the short SEES
sion of Congress, and makes impos-
sible any legislation by so-called
lame ducks" or political parties re-
pudiated at the polls.
The second amendment provides
that presidential terms shall begin
on the second Monday in December,
or about five weeks following the
election and one week following the
meeting Of Congress. That week is
needed, in the opinion of the author
of the amendment, to v the
vote for President and Vice-President
and to elect those officials in case
there is no majority in the electoral
college. The amendment further pro-
vides that the electoral vote shall be
~canvassed by the Speaker of the
House instead of by the president Of
the Senate; and, in case no candidate
gets a majority, that the House shall
elect by individual membership vote
instead of by states, as at present.
II am prompted to introduce these
amendments" said Macarthur, "only
because of my wish to bring about
progressive and economical admins
tration and legislation. I am not at
all sanguine that they will be con-
sidered at the present session, but I
