TOO MANY FARMING
Statistician Declares Agriculture
0vermanned 0ne-fifth.

st. Paul-Putting reverse English
IN the popular cry of Back to the
Soil,"" Roger w. Babson declared in
st. Paul that there are too many men
engaged in agriculture already and
What the industry needs most is to
ose about 20 per cent of its farmers.
Agriculture does not. need more
legislation to increase its credit and to
get it far deeper into debt" he said.
This, together with the endeavor to
hold up the prices of farm products,
only attracts more men to the farming
industry and there are too many of
them now. The proper way for the
government to help the farmer would
be to say, here about 20 per cent of
you fellows should get into some other
trade or some other line of business
and create some sort of an agency to
make it possible for them to do so."

PRESIDENT DELAYS MESSAGE

Washington-A precedent established
early in the history of the republic
was broken by. President Harding
when he failed to deliver his annual
message to congress which was con-
vened in regular session. 1t has been
the custom for the chief executives
to deliver their messages in person or
in writing on either the first or second
day of a session. and according to
officials at the White House, the only
time this practice has been broken
heretofore was in 1855, when President
Pierce deferred his message until the
last day in December because of the
Inability of the house to organize.
At that session it required 1873 ballots
for the house to elect its speaker.

ELECTION AMEND.
MENT OPPOSED
Agricultural Committee Gives
Favorable Report on Pro-
posed Amendment.
HARDING AGAINST BILL
Progressives May Have Test Of
Strength on the First Measure
Brought Up-WouId Abolish
Electoral College.

Washington-AIembe Of the new
Progressive bloc in congress got into
action but at the very outset ran into
White House opposition.
Led by Senator Norris, Republican.
Nebraska, bloc members sitting on the
senate agricultural committee, OBJ
tanned favorable report from that
committee for constitutional amend
ment providing for abolition of the
electoral college and for direct elec-
ton of president and vice president,
and for abolition of the long period Of
time usually -elapsing between a con-
gressional election and the regular
meeting of the new congress. Such
an amendment forms one of the planks
in the platform adopted by the bloc
ut its organization meeting.
Opposition of President Harding to
any such change in, the constitution
was expressed by Il White House
spokesman soon after the. senate agri-
cultural committee resolution was laid
before the senate and assigned to a
place on the calendar of business.
Some administration leaders in the
senate likewise voiced their :disap-
proval of the amendment and it ap-
pears that any efforts by the bloc to
press the proposal might bring on a
fight which would test the power Of
the Progressive faction.
What Bill Provides.
The proposed amendment would
provide specifically that "the choice of
each state for president and vice
president shall be determined at a gen.
eral election of the qualified electors of
such state" thus permitting voters to
cast their ballots directly for presi-
dent and vice president The vote
would be canvassed by the senate and
house meeting in joint session. each
state being given as many votes for
this purpose as it has senators and
representatives.
If such canvass by states should
disclose lack of majority, then the
president would be chosen by ma
jority vote of the house "from the
persons having the highest numbers
not exceeding three, on the list OF
those voted for as president" The
vote for vice president would be can.
vassed in similar manner, except
that in event of no choice by ma.
jority of the voters the senate would
select that official as between the two
persons receiving the largest number
of votes.
The committee. in reporting the
amendment resolution through its
chairman. Senator Norris, pointed on,
that the proposed system might result
1in the election of president and vice
president from different parties-"a
matter of fundamental justice we
ought to be protected by law in taking
should we desire to do it."
