Norris Resolution Changing Event
to Third Monday in January

preston, Say Backers.

The Norris resolution proposing an
amendment to the Constitution pro-
lviding that Congress elected in No
vember shall assemble I'M its first
session on the first Monday in Janu-
a President and q Vice President
elected In November shall be inau-
gurated on the third Monday of the
following January, will be taken up
for consideration by the Senate judi
ciary committee tomorrow.
The Senate during the last Congress
adopted a similar resolution, offered
by Senator Norris. It was sent to the
House, but failed to be acted upon
in that body before the final adjourn
ment of Congress.
There is strong support for the
Congress. Under present conditions
the Congress does not assemble until
thirteen months after 1T was elected.
unless summoned in special session
by the President some time after
March following its election. And
a President and Vice President elect
ed in November must wait -FOUR
months before taking office.
1t is contended that such sys-
tem-retaining in Office the old Con-
have been discredited in the election
for such long periods after national
campaign and election-is not to the
best interests of the people and the
country. In the early days OF the re-
public when communications were
slow and travel across the country
took many weeks. there was reason
for delay in bringing together the
new Congress and in inaugurating
the new President. But telegraph and
telephone and fast railroad trains
have changed all that. it is declared.
The present system permits the
old Congress to function during
short session"-from the first Mon
day in December until the following
March 4--after it's successor has been
elected. 1t permits a President. who
may not have ben reelected, to con-
tinue to hold the reins of govern
ment for q third VI year after his
successor has been elected by the

ThlS public voting on the merits of
paintings has been a feature of Cor
coran biennials since 1917 and has
been popular in other art centers.
There is perhaps an idea on the par.
of some that it is arranged only in
order to show the wide variance be-
tween professional and popular IA
vorites. That this idea is erroneous
is emphasized by gallery officials, who
point out that they wish the public

from such a display. installed at

they feel that such benefit can best
be obtained by letting the public
have voice in passing on it's merits.
In past similar referendums here
the public has seldom picked a

Clark awards; although the art

High praise Of the exhibition is

MIR. Burroughs' Statement.
Mr.. Burroughs statement is. in
part, as follows:
EVERY two years the Corcoran
Gallery of Art at Washington under
takes to assembl. the best cotem-
porary paintings by American artists.
Under the encouragementS offered by
the Corcoran foundati tion. which has
as it's chief aim the fostering of home
industry in the arts. supplemented
by the generous prizes provided in
perpetuity by Senator William A.
Clark. the artists of the whole ma
tion put their best foot forward.
This years exhibition, like those
which have gone before, glorifies
American art as does no other SINH
lar exhibit The 3s3 works in the
show are mute testimony to the ex-
cellent work of the jury. of which
Carl Melchers was chairman-a jury
that was tolerant of all persuasbns
of painting, providing that the paint
er showed himself sufficiently master
of his craft to carry out his unS er-
taking creditably. The show is in
no sense reactionary. 1t is broad
minded without encouraging loose
ness, chicanery or sensationalism.
Directors and other museum off
cials and art lovers and artists of
other cities travel hundreds and some
of them thousands of miles to see
this biennial exhibition which demon
strates to the public the fact that
the flower of American art is within
their grasp; that here is a specimen
of native culture in which the Cor
coran Gallery specializes; that here
is the conSumate expression in
rhythm, form and color of the great
est artists that America boasts 90.
