MILLIONS MORE
FOR COMING CROP
Excellent Crop Outlook Viewed as
Boon to AgricuIture-corn
win Bring SAC, 900. 900.

Minneapolis-The advance In the
price of grains. sending cash wheat
above the $50 mark and corn well
beyond a dollar bushel. means that
the grain crops Of the Northwest are
now worth from rs to 80 cents bushel
more than last year. F r. Durant, pub
Usher of the Grain Bulletin. and au-
thority on crop values. said.
Estimates made were that the rise
in farm prices would mean millions to
the Northwest.
Other crop authorities said that the
soaring of the markets for agricultural
products. following reports of poor
crop conditions in other sections OF
the world. promises a return to North.
west farmers that will exceed that Of
several previous years.
"All grains are worth on an aver
aye rs to 80 cents a bushel more than
last year." Mr.. Durant said. wheat
Is worth rs cents a bushel more and
corn is worth from 25 to 40 cents a
bushel more than last year."
Professor Andrew Boss, ayronomist
OF the University OF Minnesota. said
that the advance in market prices
means a prospective increase of at
least $100,000.O00 in the value Of farm
crops OF the Northwest
He pointed out that the rise is az
fecting not only corn and wheat but
all agricultural products. Gains made
In the corn and wheat markets, he
said, are but part of the advances
being recorded over the whole list of
agricultural products.
"The increase In the farm value OF
crops" Professor Boss said, will go
quite ways in helping the North
west forget its agricultural difficulties.
Prices Of practically all agricultural
products are rising in sympathy with
wheat and corn and the total increase
in the prospective market prices Of
corn and wheat will Re only half Of the
increase in values of agricultural pro-
ducts the farmers will enjoy"

AFN~ eN~htoeA~A NotAHAN0-
tion. 1t is pointed out that the
only contingency in which by the
Constitution the duty of election
falls to the House. is when no
person has the majority of the
whole number of electors APP
pointed.
Though the people are ac-
customed to think that the candi-
date who receives the greatest
number of popular votes will be
chosen for the Presidency, there
have been instances in American
history where Congress has upset
this theory. The history of the
United States shows three times
has a candidate having smaller
popular vote than his leading
rival been successful in attain
ing the Presidency. For instance,
John Quincy Adams in 1924, Hays
in 1876, and Benjamin Harrison
in 1888. The presence of LaFol-
lette with a strong third party
ticket is somewhat analogous to
the situation in 1854, which de-
feated Henry Clay and which is
described by Seward as guerilla
warfare.
AS the public realizes the in
fluence of electors. the desirabili-
ty of exercising care in their Sc
lection will become more appar-
ent. Many regard electors as
party puppets but they undoubt-
eddy have great power, and
responsibilities.
The numerical resemblance of
the two major parties are more
pronounced in the east and mid
west than in any other sections
as they draw heavily from the
more popular states. Republican
leaders say that Mr.. Coolidge is
assured of great strength in
these territories but the Demo-
cratic spokesman insist that Mr..
Davis will win a sufficient num-
Der of electors to his side in these
contested territories. 1t is con-
coded that the La Toilette can
didacy will attract electors from
the northwestern and some of the
western states, although political
conditions are in such turmoil
that nobody ventures predictions
as to the vote which third
party will poll in November.
AS the political imbroglio be-
comes more distinct the impor-
lance of the fictitious college will
be more apparent to the three
principal contestants.
The term college" is perhaps
misleading as it is intended to
apply to the meeting Of electors
but is no wise a constitutional de-
signation. The law specifically
requires that the electors shall
meet in their respective states on
particular day for the purpose
of balloting on the candidates for
the Presidency. and when their
votes are duly cast, listed. signed
and certified, the Constitution re-
quires that they be submitted un-
der seal to the President of the

WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Pare u

The growing fear on the part
of the leaders of the two princi-
pal parties is that the election
will be thrown into Congress.
Considering the fact that the
present Congress was decidedly
manageable, leaders profess to
see a dangerous situation coming
out of the possibility of having
the House decide the election. A
provision of the Twelfth amend
ment to the Constitution limits
the House of Representatives in
its choice to the three highest
names on the list. 1t is said that
the trainers of the Constitution
intended the electoral system as
a potent defense against fraud.
For more than a century there
have been strong movements to
abolish the electoral system. But,
it has withstood all assaults with
the exception of some modifca-
tions during the latter part of
the 10Th century. 1t still retains
the relative influence that the
Constitution assigns to the States.
Unfortunately. the Importance
of the electoral plan is not COM
monty appreciated. 1t requires a
great crisis and a disputed popu-
lar vote to bring it to the front
every four years. The most dis.
puted provision of the electoral
system covers the question OF
count. According to arguments
advanced by eminent statesmen
the fact that the. vote in the
House of Representatives for
President is not per capita but by
states, introduces an additional
element of a most confusing and
unsatisfactory nature, for it re-
suits in giving the power to elect
to a majority of states represent
ing a minority of the population
of the country.
The Constitution is silent on
many vital questions as to the
prerogatives of the House, and
the Senate. One of the fore
most authorities on the electoral
system has declared that 1T is
not inconceivable that, in some
future dispute over a single or a
double return, one or the other
of the two Houses may be tied so
that no decision shall be possible,
or that a deadlock between them
may be prolonged, and the ques-
ton would then be presented
whether the House Of Represen-
tatives should not itself elect the
President"
The famous document also pre-
scribes that lists of the votes of
elections in the several states
properly authenticated by the
state executive officer shall be
transmitted in sealed packages TO
the President of the Senate and
then opened by him in the pres
ence of the Senate and House of
Representatives and the votes
shall then be counted. There has
been considerable controversy as
to who shall count the votes as
it is claimed that the constitu-
ton failed to specifically desig-
nate the officer or officers.
Authorities on constitutional
law seem to be in agreement
that the question has never been
definitely settled, although sever
al attempts have been made to
frame legislation for this pur-
pose. At present the counting of
electoral votes is more than a

Tag Improvement Slow.

1t is a singular fact that while road
signs are being put to every form of
test by automobile clubs and civic au-
thorities the most important sign in
all motordom-the automobile license
tag-Still remains a crude, fragile
article.
In one recent test of road signs va
rious makes were actually submerg-
ed under water for a period of two
weeks, then put in cold storage at a
temperature of ten degrees below
zero for week, next buried under
ground for two weeks and, finally,
shot at with pistols and generally
treated rough.
One sign stood all of this and more
besides, including bending and being
struck with a hatchet. Surely the
motorist who has to treat his license
tags gingerly SO as not to chip the
enamel can afford to reflect over the
comparison in sign durability, for so
long as he is satisfied with inferior
tags he will probably continue to be
favored with them

Worth Remembering.

Your engine is likely to overhead
a second time even II you eliminate
the cause of the original trouble.
During the first overheating process
lot of water will syphon out
through the overflow pipe of the
radiator. This is sufficient cause for
an encore of the trouble.
When cleaning the commutator OF
the starter-motor. or adjusting the
brushes, remove the spark plugs so
that in testing it the cylinders will
offer no compression resistance. The
starter-motor will slip around as
though free. Opening the petcocks
does not relieve as much compression
as removing the plugs.
Your difficulty in "double-clutch-
ing" when shifting into second gear
prior to descending a steep hill is in
variably due to the fact that you are
trying to feed gas with the acoeler-
ator while keeping the car slowed
down with the foot brake. One foot
cannot do both acts successfully at
the same time. Why not pull up the

making the shift? It's there, even
