Inaugural
Is Adopted
Senate Approves Norris Con-
stitutional Amendment to
Eliminate Old Congress
After New Elected.
House Must Sanction
BY GEORGE r. AUTHIER.
Correspondent The Omaha Bee


Washington, Feb. 13.-tSpeciaLl-
Senator Norris scored a victory as
complete as it was surprising today.
when the senate adopted his resolu-
ton proposing constitutional
amendment advancing the terms Of
Office of men elected in November, so
they would commence serving the
January following. This applies 10
president and vice president and
would shorten the term of the presi.
dent holding office when the change
SHOULD 60 into effect.
The honor Of the victory Is shared
between Senator Norris and the pro-
gressive bloc. which adopted this the
ory Of election results as one Of the
articles OF their faith However. il
was due TO the shrewd and persistent
management Of the proposal that the
senate acted upon it 50 oyerwheim-
ingly.
Came From Farm Committee.
Strangely enough, the proposed con-
stitutional amendment did not come
from the judiciary committee When
it was referred to the committee on
agriculture, 1t was supposed this
would end the matter and the refer
ence was regarded as something Of
joke.
Senator Norris is a member Of both
committees but is chairman Of the
committee on agriculture. He quietly
announced the senate would see that
the farmers would prove pretty gooc
lawyers.
The outlook for favorable action on
the resolution in the house is good.
although the legislation may be
caught IN the lam OF the closing
weeks.
When the Norris resolution was
first proposed. Il was made known
at the White House the president did
not look with favor upon Il. He be-
lieved, it was made known, that the
founding fathers had wisely provided
for an extended hiatus between elec-
tions and induction into office SO mis-
takes made at the polls could be
rectified by time.
Vote Sixfy-Three TO Six.
Washington, Feb. 13.-Tne Norris
amendment 10 the federal constitution
eliminating the present session Of an
old congress after election Of a new
congress and changing the date OF
Inauguration Of president from March
1 TO the third Monday in January was
approved by the senate.
The resolution embodying the
amendment was adopted after a brief
debate and by vote OF e3 70 6. Il
now goes to the house with approval
there before adjournment Of congress
regarded as problematical.
The arrangement was made after
further White House conferences be
tween President Harding. Senator
Lodge OF Massachusetts. the majority
floor leader. and Senator Watson, re.
