tive victory today by obtaining
from the senate agricultural COM
mittee a favorable report on n
resolution to amend the consti-
tuition to provide for direct cleo
tion Of the president and vice

The amendment also would
change presidential Inauguration

of the senate and house would be-
gin their terms of office the first
Monday in January after the BIZ
ennial elections. Congress would
meet in regular session annually
on the first Monday in January
While judiciary sub-com-
mittee was holding hearings on
resolution with such provisions
offered by Senator Ashurst, dem
ocrat, Arizona, the agricultural
committee urged It's chairman to
report as a resolution substitute
for one by Senator Caraway, dem
ocrat, Arkansas, to prohibit de-
feated members Of congress from
voting on other than routine leg
islation in the session Of the old
congress meeting after elections.
The Ashurst resolution. on

FOR
PUBLIC WORKS
MUSFDE ON BIDS

The public policy Of Oregon re-
quires that competition shall be
invited, through Advertising, In
all contracts entered into by mu-
nicipal corporations. This policy
is designed to safeguard, so far as
possible the expenditure OF public
funds.
Because the contract entered In
to by the Ochoco irrigation district
Of Crook county with the Twohy
Brothers company for the Inn
provement Of the district, was
not preceded by an advertisement
for bids, as required by the Ore
gon statute, the company has no
legal claim upon the district for
the payment OF money alleged to
be due for service or supplies fur
nished.
SO Justice Brown, OF the SUI

handed down by the supreme court
today in which the decree of Judge
Tucker OF the Multnomah county
circuit court in the case Of Twohy
Brothers VS.. the Ochoco irrigation
district, is affirmed.
