Lame Duck Vice Presidents

rioHl the odH FRANCISCO CnrOnlcle.
The possibility of Vice President
becoming lame duck was overlooked
by the drafters of the twentieth amend
ment. They had their eyes peeled so
closely to bag the lame ducks of the
House and Senate that they forgot all
about the presiding officer Of the SEN
ate, who Is the Vice President.
This Is what escaped their attention.
The new amendment states that the
Congress shall assemble at least once q
year on the third day Of January. An
other section, however, states that the
term of the Vice President shall end at
noon on the Goth day of January
There are then II days after Congress
meets before the terms of the President
and Vice President end.
This means that a retiring Vice
President cannot escape being a lame
duck. For those II last days in which
he holds the gavel over the Senate he
will rule as lame duck.
All, well! Vice Presidents have always
been neglected and forgotten. Here,
as usual, they will have to bear I'D
under their afdiction.

pity that measure ever since 1t came
to the committee and has finally re-
ported the measure in much restricted
form, cutting its effect down to two
crops. wheat and cotton. The domestic
allotment plan is an experiment ad-
mittedly, and word was brought. here
from Mr. Roosevelt that since it was
an experiment he thought it would be
wise to limit 1t to a couple of crops
and see how it worked before becom-
ing deeply involved. 1t does not appear
that this measure, in any event, can
become q law If 1t has to have the
signature Of PRESIDENT Hoover, even If
1t should pas the Senate.

NAKED" or Dressed" "

| Inc house OF Representatives., Oh
the first day of the present session OF
Congress, tried out a resolution pro-
posing naked" repeal of the eighteenth
amendment. BY margin of six votes
the resolution, sponsored by Speaker
Garner, failed to be adopted. Now.
| with less than three weeks remaining
of the session, the Senate is to take
up for consideration a repeal resolution,
slightly dressed" Ia G. O. P. II
the plans Of the Senate leaders are
| followed, the resolution, which has been
reported favorably from the Judiciary
Committee, is to be made the mfin-
ished business of the Senate. Whether
it will be finished" before the end
of the Congress is a question.
The Senate committee repeal resolu-
ton contains a ban against the return
of the old saloon. 1t provides also that
the Federal Government shall help 10
protect States which wish to continue
dry from an inflow of alcoholic beV-
eraees. Furthermore, the resolution
proposes to submit the question OF
repeal of the eighteenth amendment
to the State Legislatures for ratihca-
tion rather than to constitutional con-
yentions called to pass upon this mat
ter This is in direct conflict with
the platform of the two major parties
on the subject of prohibition, botn OF
which declared for the reference OF re-
peal to State conventions.
When Congress was assembling last
December, wide predictions were mace
that the country would have peer oe-
fore Christmas" and that resolution
submitting the question of repeal OF the
eighteenth amendment would be adopt
ed at an early date. These predictions
were. after all, mere figments OF the
imagination, mere hopes OF the more
ardent vets. 1t is quite true that re-
peal of national prohibition commanded
huge vote in the House, lacking only
a few votes the necessary tWo-thlros.
1t is also true that the House passed
the beer bill. The fact which the vets
forgot when they made their predic-
tions about beer and repeal at the
opening of the session is that while the
Senate may be led to beer bills and to
repeal resolutions, 1t is hard job to
make it drink.
The repeal resolution now to come
before the Senate pleases not at all the
vets, who feel as Speaker Garner does,
that nothing short of outright repeal OF
the eighteenth amendment is to be
tolerated. Nor does It naturally appeal
to those members of the Senate like
Sheppard Of Texas, Brookhart of Iowa
and several others who still cling to
the eighteenth amendment. The drys
might be showed under, provided the
| more ultra vets could be rallied to
the support of this "dressed-up" repeal
resolution.
The dangers confronting the vets
who desire repeal Of the eighteenth
amendment seem to lie within their own
ranks. There is the group which
shouts for absolute repeal and nothing
else. There is the second group which
insists that there should be a ban In
the Constitution against a return Of
the saloon and ample protection for dry
States against we. neighbors. How to
reconcile the differences of opinion be-
tween these two groups and to bring a
concert of action behind a repeal reso-
luton is the problem which promises to
tax to the utmost the wet leadership
in Congress and out.

W. IL is doubtful Wnether the Spea ker

unless naked repeal substitute
could be offered.
Repeal. along with beer, seems
doomed to go over to the special session
OF the new Congress. And even then,
notwithstanding the huge Democratic
maJorities in both Houses, Republican
votes will be necessary to put the re-
peal measure through, since a two
thirds vote is required in Senate and
House to submit constitutional
amendment Naked repeal will face
hard sledding, unless the President
elect is able to line up the Democrats
in both Houses solidly for it, and even
then If the Republicans all proved re-
calcitrant, 1t could not be adopted.

elect will be ready with his program

whenever he does bring the legislators

plicit and understandable program
Something 1t can sink its teeth In.
The present session of Congress has
been wasted because the Democratic
leadership has had no real program

anything constructive. It Is true that
