vote and only one-New York,
for instance, with its 43 mem
bers, counts no more than Wy
oming with its one.
Third, it is not the new house
that does the voting. but the old
house-that is, the existing
house, even though the election
may have changed it's member
ship substantially.
Who wins when the house
votes?
Once more a majority, and
not a mere plurality, is neces-
sary for the election of q presi-
dent. How large a fraction Of
the present house La Toilette
could control in such a contest.
is debatable. But for the sake
of illustration, grant him his
five states again. There are
4S states in all; % are neces-
sary for a maj ority: each state
counts one vote; set La Follette'S
five aside, and all either Davis
or Coolidge has to do to block
the others election in the house
is to tally nineteen votes. For
these 10, with La FOllette's five,
would leave the other party only
81. And ~ is one vote shy of
a majority.
Assume this happens. What
follows next?
The house has until March a
to break it's deadlock, if Il dead
lock should arise. The break
could come either by La Fol
lette surrendering enough of his
state delegations to Coolidge or
to Davis to furnish q majority,
or by enough Coolidge states go
ing over to Davis, or vice versa,
on the theory that a victory
for the other side was better
than confusion.
Suppose, however, that party
lines hold fast. What happens
in that case?
The question goes to the SEN
ate.
Does the senate choose a pres
ident?
No; what the senate does is
not to elect a. president, but to
elect a vice president from

HOUSTON ALARMED
At FEVER MENACE
| DEAD, 81 ISOLATED

HOUSTON, Texas, Oct. 12.-Fed-
aral, state, county and local Off
Gals met here today to discuss plans
for combating the spread of yellow
fever in Houston which had already
caused one death and the segrega-
ton of IS persons.
Staggered by the effects of the
hoof and mouth disease which has
held the whole Of Harris county I'M
der strict quarantine for more than
two weeks. citizens awoke today
confronted with the greatest peril
in the history of sre city.
While none of the IS persons,
most of them MeXiCans isolated on
the Citys quarantine rarm In the
suburbs, have shown any indication
of the fever. health officers have
already warned residents that breed
ing places for mosquitoes in tn.
city must be destroyed at once.

ates. The Twelfth Amendment

dates. The Twelfth Amendment
to the constitution provides: "A
quorum shall consist of
two-thirds of the whole number
of senator's, and a majority of
the whole number shall be nee
essary to a choice"
What happens il vice presi-
dent is elected?
He proceeds to act as presi-
dent and the incident is closed.
But it is not difficult to be-
lieve that if the deadlock was
carried thus far it might go one
stage farther.
To be sure, the contest is mar
rowed down by this time; one
man is ruled out, and the choice
before the senate is now between
the two highest candidates for
vice president. But suppose
those two highest are Dawes
and Bryan. There are three Re
publican votes LA Toilette s,
F'razier's and Ladd's) which
would almost certainly go to
Bryan; there are two Farmer
Labor votes (Shipstead and
ManguS JohnsOn's) which would
go in the same direction. That
would tie the voting, 4S to 4S.
Or, to prevent a majority until
party lines broke, these three
Republicans, two FarmerLabOr
men and perhaps several of their
more insurgent colleagues. might
refrain from voting either way.
The constitution requires a ma
jority of the whole membership,
and not merely quorum, for
an election.
For the sake of illustrating all
the possibilities which the situa-
ton holds, grant that another
deadlock blocked the senate's ac-
ton. What would follow after
that?
1t would take a fortune.teller
to feel certain. For the Twelfth
Amendment, which lays down
all these complicated rulings,
leaves off here and nothing
takes its place.
1t has been suggested that Mr..
Hughes, as secretary of state,
would fall heir to the presidency,
thanks to the presidential sue
cession act and the provisions
of Article II -, section /. of the
constitutions But if that is true,
the same statute also requires
him to call a special session of
congress, and in this case it
might be the duty of the incom-
ing Congress-the statute doesn't
specifically affirm it or deny it
to elect new president and
vice president.
1t has also been suggested
that the supreme court might be
asked to pass on both the inter
probation of the constitution and
the onstitutionality of the
statute. But the question raised,
the method of electing a presi-
dent might be regarded by the
supreme court as a non justi-
ciable question over which it
would decline jurisdiction.
Other theories suggest all
manner of emergency methods,
lLOlll INC tppOIH lllIcllI VI an elec-
toral commission, as in the
Hayes-Tilden controversy, to the
theory that the present occu-
pant of the White House simply
continues to hold office until his
successor is elected.
Why is the law so vague?
Because it was drawn vaguely
and we have never improved or
it. The plain fact is that the
constitution makes no provision
for the election of a president in
the case of a deadlocked senate
and deadlocked house. Quite
aside from the year 1924, and as
a matter OF good government,
the Twelfth Amendment needs
amending.

State Gasoline Tax
Collections to Break
Record, Harrison Says

The collections of state gasoline
taxes for the third quarter of 1924
will exceed 100000 and break all
previous records, in the opinion of
w. Is. Harrison, tax clerk in the
comptroller generals office. The
payments were not due until October
10, and are not all in, but the in
creases shown by the companies that
have reported assure a new record,
Mr.. Harrison said.
The consumption of gasoline is al
ways heavier during the summer
months, and the third quarter in
cludes July and August. The legisla-
ture of 1928 increased the state tax
on gasoline to three cents a gallon,
and the combination of the increased
tax and the heavier consumption
will establish a new record.

In the fIrSt place, what does
a deadlock mean?
The Constitution requires that
the president must have a ma
jority of the ELECTORAL college to
be elected. A deadlock is always
possible with three candidates
in the field. Woodrow Wilson
was a minority president in 1912.
He secured a total of 100000
votes, as against a combined T.
100000 for Roosevelt and Taft.
Why wasn't the 1912 election
deadlOcked?
Taft, however, made so poor
a showing on the basis of States
carried (he captured only Utah
and Vermont that in the cleo
torial college he had but eight
votes. Roosevelt had SO votes.
Wilson had 400, and in the cleo
toral college was an easy win
ner.
1t is OH the basis of States as
units, then, that the election is
decided?
Yes. Coolidge and Davis might
have a total of 240,0 votes in
Nebraska, as against 100, 900 70"
La Toilette; but if La Toilette
had more votes than either Cool
idge or Davis individually, then
all of Nebraska's eight electOr
al votes, and not just a pro-
pOrtiOnate share of them, would
go to the third party in the
electoral college.
What would deadlock the cleo
ton now?
There are 531 votes in the cleo
toral college. Of these 531, 1914
are votes in the solid south and
in the border states which a
Democratic candidate is reason
ably sure of carrying. That
leaves a remainder of 337.
A majority of the college is
266. Accordingly, this is the sit
uatiOn:
If Davis carries the 1914 votes
of the solid south and the Dor
der states, then Davis and La
Toilette between them need Y
additional votes to block the cleo
ton of Coolidge.
La Toilette is usually credited,
as a minimum, with chances of
carrying the five northwestern
states of Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Montana and the two DakOtas.
That is a block of 80 votes.
Thirty-three more for either
Davis or La Toilette. anywhere
outside of the solid south. would
prevent the election of Cool
idge.
Endless combinations can be
suggested which provide those
33. New York alone, for exam
pie, has A votes 20 deliver.
On the other hand, Davis can
not win his own election in the
electoral college unless to his 1914
he adds 90 more. And if La Fol
lette is given 80, then, to win in
the college, Davis must cut the
Coolidge total to 226.
You can guess the answer any
way you like, but it is clear that
with every state La Toilette car
ries, both of his opponents have
an increasingly smaller margin
to play with. La Follette's
strength is probable not spread
evenly throughout the country,
as Taft's was in 1912, but mass
ed in separate states. That is
why there is talk about a dead
lock.
III no candidate receives a ma
iority in the electoral college,
what happens next?
The first step is for the house
of representatives to attempt to
choose a president from among
the three high candidates. But
note these facts:
First. the house does not vote
as it ordinarily does. by indiyid-
uals, but votes by states.
Second, each state counts one

UMPIRES
Don't Hold Lifelong Posi-
ton

New York.-According to the Wall
Street Journal Ex-Governor Tener, of
Pennsylvania, former major league
ball player, "has given by far the
best illustration of what popular re-
vision of supreme court decisions
would mean"
Mr.. Tener asks what would happen
to baseball if the umpire's decisions
"were subject to revision by the spec
tators ?"
Both Mr. Tener and the Wall Street
Journal overlook the fact that an in
competent umpire, or one who is even
suspected of bias, does not hold his
position very long. He is not appoint
ed for life, and his Interpretation of
a rule can be appealed to the presi-
dent of that league.
The Wall Street Journal not only
exhibits an incapacity for reasoning,
but itEshows its unfairness when it
intimates that the opponents Of court
usurpation favor popular revision of
supreme court decisions"
The only time that has been seri-
ously urged was when Theodore
Roosevelt favored it in 1912.

BOMBAST DAWES
Aided in Election of Injunc-
tion Judge Last Fall

Chicago.-Charles G. Dawes, repub-
lican candidate for vice president, had
more than passing interest last
year in the election of Judge Jesse
Holden, notorious injunction Judge.
The Illinois State Federation OF
Labor reminds the public that it was
Holden who made decision favorable
to Dawes and his bank when suit was
filed to secure a return Of the $780,
600 which he loaned to another bank
for day. This loan fooled state ex-
aminers, and they issued charter to
the bank. The money was then re-
turned to Dawes concern and the new
bank failed after a few months. The
receiver discovered that the $780,.
600 advertised as capital and sur
plus" was the Dawes check that was
loaned for a day.
When Judge Holden was up for
reelection last fall Dawes called his
Minute Men of the Constitution" to
the polls in support of Holden. AT
that time Dawes made the ridiculous
statement that this injunction judge
was following "the constitution and
the laws of Illinois"
After Holden was reelected, Dawes
boasted in another pamphlet that he
and his Minute Men" made Holden's
success possible.
The Illinois State Federation Of La
Dor has listed the attacks Dawes has
made on public officials and trade
union officials, and his oft-repeated
contempt for the people.
Eve can not refrain from express
ing the opinion that as demagogue
Charles G. Dawes has no peer in
American politics." the trade union
lists say.
