THE L4.UE DUCKS AGAIN

Approach OF the fall elections brings
to mind once more the fact that Congress
has still failed to enact legislation remoV-
ing the lame ducks from our midst.
A lame duck, you know. is a congress
man or senator who has been defeated
at the polls, but who. because of the Pc
culiarity Of an out-of-date section of our
constitution, continues to sit in a new
session of Congress, passing laws for the
voters who have rejected him.
The chances are that the tribe will be
exceedingly numerous this winter
Already a great many. new members
have been added Many congressman
and senators have been beaten in their
fight for denomination. Many more who
won denomination will fall in the Nov
ember election.
Yet every mothers son Of them will be
on deck when Congress c0nvenes in Dec
enlber. The men who beat them won't
reach Washington for a whole year; dur
ing the interim the lame ducks will have
everything their own way.
Senator Norris of Nebraska has been
fighting for years to put through an
amendment that would do away with
lame ducks. He would have the new
Congress and Senate take office in the
first congressional session following elec-
ton day; defeated congressman, under
Norris plan, would never cast vote.
This amendment has repeatedly passed
the Senate but has died in the House Of
Representatives each time This winter
would be a fine time for the House to
prove its devotion to duty by passing it.
There is not one valid reason that can be
advanced for opposing it. It is not too
much to say that any man who does op-
pose it is simply playing very cheap and
discreditabe politics.
Let's hope we can have some action on
it at the next session.

Manager
ROSS L. HAMMOND

1t is with feeling of distinct loss that
the Press reports in its news columns,
the death of Ross l.. Hammond, one OF
the owners of this paper, at his nome IN
Fremont, Nebraska. yesterday.
Even prior to the purchase of the Press
nearly nine years ago, Mr.. Hammond was
intensely interested in Imperial Valley
and was a frequent visitor here.
Subsequent to the purchase of the pa
per he entered actively into the work of
developing this community and from his
office in Riverside he was in close con-
tact with Imperial Valley business lead
ers, conferring with them and working
with them on problems effecting the
valley.
He was 2 frequent contributor to the
editorial columns of the Press IN the
years Immediately following its pur-
chase, and showed keen insight into
local, state and national affairs.
For 40 years prior to coming to Cali
fornia in 1919 he was editor of the Ere
mont Tribune, and was a recognized
leader in Nebraska newspaper circles
He was also active in politics, being
staunch believer in the principles of the
Republican party and for a time was
collector of internal revenue in Nebraska
under President Taft.
Coming to California in 1919, he settled
in Riverside, and entered at once into the
community activities of that city. He
was interested in the work of the cham
Der of commerce and was its secretary
for a time. also serving several years on
the board of directors.
The beautifulpeac tower on Mt Rub
idouX, Just outside Riverside stands as
a monument to his energy and interest in
his adopted city, Mr.. Hammond being
the originator Of the plan for the tower
and headed the movement to obtain funds
for it. He also was responsible IN great
measure for the successful establishment
OF the community chest idea in Riverside.
and was an active worker in behalf of the
community hospital.
Last year he returned to Nebraska to
become president of the Fremont Nation
al bank but as he explained in his let
ters, his heart still remained in Califor-
MIA.
Mr.. Hammond was delightful person.

was fully entitled to that often misused
term, "a gentleman of the old school,
Out of his many years of experience in
newspaper work, he was always ready
to give advice and assistance to those
starting in on the trail he had followed
so long and so successfully and was
never too busy nor too important to listen
to the troubles of the younger men.

him the farewell of the newspaper world
