From the Charlotte Observer

The prospect Is mighty good that the

aroused opposition from MANY Sources.
and especially from the textile inter,
ests, Is going to be sunk at the present
session, by reason of overlooking. and
tnat the salvage crew of the next ses-
sion Will have to take it In hand. The

an agricultural band wagon, upon
Wnlcn all branches Of the industry are

The National Federation of Milk

and the election. But whether the
change, II undertaken, will take the
form merely Of the abolition Of the
college" and the substitution Of the
direct vote Of the people, or viii 60 to
the point of submitting the choice to
the people of the entire country with
out regard for State boundaries, is q
very grave question. Any amendment
to the Constitution to effect a change
would, of course, have to be ratified by
the States, and it is hardly probable
that -fourths of the States would
consent to their elimination as unit
factors in the election.
The swift success of the twentieth
amendment, changing the dates for the
beginning of the terms of Congress and
the President, suggests that a direct
election amendment, substituting popu-
lar vote for electSal college vote with
out the elimination of State lines, may
in the near future succeed, after nearly
one hundred unsuccessful efforts in this
direction.

four fires Of the year wiped out NOR
than S3y0O0,0

four fires Of the year wiped out more
than $4,000, 900.
The fact that all Of this property was
covered by insurance does not lessen the
fact that carelessness In management
and false economy In construction con-
tributed to the wiping out Of a very
heavy value. The losses were borne
directly by the insurance companies, but
were actually paid by the public in the
form Of premiums given for protection"
upon all other structures upon which
insurance was carried in the companies
Immediately involved.
This fact should always be borne in
mind whenever fire causes heavy dam
age to any particular property. The in
surance company reckons the specific
premium upon the basis of the charac-
ter of the "risk." The properties most
subject to possible destruction by fire
bear the heaviest portion of the cost of
protection. but all others contribute,
whatever their condition and capacity to
resist fire.
1t is not in the public interest that
flimsy, f1re-inviting structures should
be tolerated and their construction and
maintenance even encouraged by the
writing OF insurance upon them, for
which all grades and classes of prop
erty must bear share of the risk and
loss, through premiums that are graded
to insure a net redemption of loss,
with a profit to the companies. A
higher standard Of construction in all
lines. a more rigid system Of inspection
and supervision would lower the losses
and consequently permit lowering of
the cost of protection for those con-
structions that are most thoroughly
fireproof and most carefully admins
tered.
Americas annual fire toll is tremen-
dous, the losses amounting into the
hundreds of millions, the greater part
OF them being preventable. Too lightly
does the paying public regard the con-
hagrations that sweep away great struc-
lures and blocks of buildings. Only
when Life is host Is attention seriously
aroused, and the remedies to prevent
repetition are spasmodically and .nef-
fectively applied.
The losses at Coney Island have not
been important in the sense Of derange-
ment OF business, but they are never
theless significant of the need Of
prompt and thorough study of the eco
nomic evil of system of protection"
which drains millions of dollars from
the channels OF industry in excess of
the proper annual cost of insurance.

Needless Fires and Insurance.

For the fourth time within a year fire
on Monday swept through a portion of
the amusement resort at Coney Island,
near New York, and did damage esti-
mated at $250,0o0. Several entertain
ment establishments were destroyed, the
flames roaring with little check through
a mass Of f1imsy structures, mostly built
OF wood, with much Of their equipment
constructed Of papier mache. The
three other blazes at this resort during
the past twelve months were Of the
same nature. the materials being of the

The Pianist in Politics.

Scholars in politics, here and abroad
are no phenomena. Musicians in state
craft are rarer, though, trained in the
arts of harmony, they would seem as
if ordained for a field in which the
eradication of discords is an au-tine
policy. Today comes news that M
Ignaz Jan Paderewski, the first premier
of the postwar republic in 1919, is now
being actively discussed for the presi-
dency Of Poland. European conditions,
especially those in adjacent Germany,
evidently persuade the Poles that their
safest executive anchorage at this time
is the gifted master of the piano,
who once before demonstrated that he
can manipulate the affairs of state with
no less skill than he tickles the worries
of the keyboard.
When one speaks. of Poland and the
Poles in this connection one really
means Marshal Joseph Pilsudski. It
Is that masterful personality who still
pulls the strings at Warsaw with vir-
tually unchallenged dictatorial author
tty, though 1t is constitutionally exer-
ctsed. It Is the marshal who will re-
call Paderewski to public life, If he
be summoned, rather than the country
which the maestro would serve. Every
thing depends on developments in Ger
many. Relations, long strained over the
Corridor question, have tended to be-
come critical since Adolf Hitler's re-
cent accession to the chancellorship,
with the National Socialists avowed
anti-Polish program thus accentuated
and become more menacing.
If Marshal PilsudsH promotes the
campaign for the nomination of M.
Paderewski for the presidency, the mo-
tive would be the realization that the
famous pianist, now on tour in the
United States, is the only man behind
whom Polish national sentiment could
most surely be rallied. There is in addi-
ton the virtuoso's wide popularity in
English-speaking lands which have so
long yielded to the charms of his music.
1t is said that the principal bar to
M. Paderewsk's recall to office would
be his reluctance to serve In the presi-
dency under the dictatorial yoke, being
himself a rugged individualist. But If
Poland's international relationships
could b strengthened under leader
with M. Paderewskis personal prestige,
Marshal Pilsudsk might envision the
desirability of giving the pianist in
politics more scope for self-expression
is as essential in statesman
ship and diplomacy as it is in art.

a Chilly Morning.

Last night, authorities on the subject
say, was the coolest OF the Winter to
date and this morning the chilliest
morning in long time. It was a trial
OF courage to get out of bed, a test of
physical hardihood to get to work. The
wind cut like knife. One could SYM
pathize with Peary, Scott, Amundsen,
Byrd and all the other heroes of the
frozen zones.
But the pitiless blast which swept
over the city late yesterday afternoon
and continued to blow throughout the
night and during the morning brought
actual suffering to relatively few of
the four hundred and eighty thousand
people who call Washington home.
There was warmth and food for at least
ninety per cent Of the total population
OF the Capital. The question is: What
about the others? What about the ten
per cent who. through no special fault
OF their own, are out of employment.
shelterless and hungry?
The latest Community Chest CAM
paign provided partial answer to the
problem. Were it not SO, there would
be far more widespread and poignant
distress In the city today than there Is.
But the campaign fell short of its goal.
and approximately half a million dol
lars remains to be raised II the. Chest
Is to function to the full in accordance
with the program prepared for it by the
cooperating agencies constituting its
membership. Only by further appeal
to the charitable heart Of the more for
tunate fraction Of the community can
the means be found to meet the neces-
sites OF the rest. Such a night as last
night, such a morning as this morning
serve to dramatize that appeal.
If every reader Of these lines would
send one dollar-more if possible, of
course-to the Community Chest, In
vestment Building, at once. fuel and
food could be provided Immediately for
families really in desperate need. Pre-
sumably, considerable sum might be
made available, and there could not be
better occasion or better cause. But
even If only a little additional money
came to hand 1t would help. In times Like
the present every penny counts. Human
life and human happiness depend Just
now, as never before in this generation,
on the instinct toward helpfulness and
fellowship which is not absent from
any normal human breast.

Electoral College and Direct Vote.

Yesterday, for the thirty-seventh time,
the Congress of the United States, in
Joint session, sat as a final canvassing
board for the presidential election to
declare the choice of the people. The
election was not by the two Houses, but
by electors chosen by the voters in the
several States, who in every case voted
had named them. Thus was continued
the process of presidential choice which
originated with the beginning of the
present form Of Government in this
country, although in quite different
manner from that which was conceived
at the outset, the electors named by the
States having no free choice of candi-
dates as the Constitution originally
provided.
Again is revived the proposition to
change the method Of presidential elec-
tion by the substitution Of direct voting
by the people for their candidates for
the indirect voting involved in the elec-
toral college system. Amendments to
this effect have been often proposed
and as often have they been refused
proposal to the States by the Congress.
The first of these was offered in 1925,
being induced by the result of the elec-
ton of 1924, when Andrew Jackson,
although receiving the largest popular
vote for President, was defeated In the
House Of Representatives. From that
time until 1928 the same proposition
was presented in various forms some
eighty-seven times, being invariably re-
fused approval by either House Of Con-
gress for submission to the States.
Notwithstanding this record Of mega
ton it is believed that eventually 9
change will be made in the method o.
choosing the Chief Executive. From

industrial science are to take the place
OF all family, social and political re-

only to be counted and considered as

This movement, controlled and guided
no longer by any emotions or ideals of

A. The basic trouble was generally
conceded to be twofold-the overcap-
italization Of the industry In the boom
period following the war and the grow
ing competition in the world market,
where the cheaper products Of the
Oriental countries are displacing Eng
liSh cottons. It was essential, the en-
ployers said, that costs should be re-
duced. The employees agreed. but in
sisted that this should be done through
reorganization of the industry and
that the savings which could be effected
through cut in wages were so small
relatively that it was not worth while to
submit to 1t unless 1t were coupled with
some more far-reaching movement.
