NORRIS SEEKING
ARCHAIC VOTING
SYSTEMS END
Popular Election Asked for
Presidents in New
Resolution.

By Scripps-HorGrd Ne'cspaDer Alliance
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.-Senator
George W. Norris Rep. Neb) .
hero OF the anti-injunction Muscle
Sroals and lame-duck fights. is out
after another scalp-this time the
archaic electoral college system Of
electing Presidents By unit votes Of
each state.
Chairman Henry F. Ashurst
CDem., Ariz) Of the senate judiciary
committee has called a special
meeting next Tuesday 70 act on
the Norris resolution proposing pop
ular election Of Presidents and Vice
Presidents through a constitutional
amendment.
A similar resolution was approved
by a house committee last spring
and placed on the calendar. Its
author. Representative Clarence Lea
Dem. CALI, intends to seek a spe-
cial rule for its consideration at
once.
First Crisis in 1900
The NOrris-Lea project is designed
to prevent any repetition Of crises IN
American history which on four diff
ferent occasions have threatened the
stability OF the government. The
first was in 1900, when the election
was thrown into the house, where
the federalists had a majority.
Thomas jefferson was asked as
20 N
federalists in government jobs. He
refused and was eventually selected
nevertheless.
In 1924, when the election was
again thrown into the house, the
country was bitterly aroused. Final
" John Quincy Adams was elected
as President instead of Andrew
jackson, who is credited by some
historians with being the popular
choice.
Minority DiSfranchiSed
Twice after the Civil war popular
choices lost the presidency because
of the electoral college and the unit
rule. One of these was Samuel T.
Tilden. who had more than 100000
majority, the other Grover Cleve-
land, in 1888, with 100000 ma jOrity.
The present system of casting
each states electoral votes for the
person receiving a majority of the
popular votes in the state results
in disfranchiSement of the minority.
Votes cast for Alfred E. Smith in
New York in 1923, for instance,
actually we're counted in the cleo
tOral college for Herbert Hoover,
since Mr.. Hoover carried the state.
Proponents Of this constitutional
amendment claim that in 1928 this
"diSfranchiSed" part of the votes
amounted to 38 per cent; in 1892,
80 per cent. John w. Davis in 1924
won 136 electral votes with less than
100000 popular votes. He got no
electoral votes for 100000 other
ballots cast for him.

Road Work Sbeeded

A NY one under the impression that public
works employees might not drive themselves
unduly hard in carrying their work on the
various projects being undertaken as part of
the re-employment program might think other
wise after considering the of the Pagosa-
Chama forest highway in San Juan National
Park
This stretch of highway, four and half
miles IN length, was to be completed in 200
days, but so rapidly did the work proceed the
road was in service 40 days after work was
started
Work accomplished on the section of road
built SO rapidly included grading to 24-foot
width building two major drainage structures
OF concrete, and placing two 4-inch LAYERS of
crushed surfacing material
Although the contract permitted the use Of
machinery. the Bureau of Public Roads reports
that the contractor. E. H. Honnen, preferred
to use instead, large number of unemployed
and needy men.
This project the report states, provided a
veritable godsend to the community which de-
pendS on grazing, farming and numbering for
its living. OF the 276 men registered for em-
ployment in the county 211 were given en-
poyment on the road work. This represented
6.400 men-days and 1900 stock-days of work
representing pay rolls of $4,000 Expenditures

INSTALLMENT III.

-- HE red-haired Marshall player gazed
at Ted, look of genuine surprise on
his good-hum0red face.
"Slugged?" he said. What do
you mean, slugged?"
"Just what I say" Ted retorted.
"Somebody hit Tom Bronski over the head,
deliberately knocking him out. You were the
closest man to him when the lights went off"
The color famed into the Marshall players
face. "Are you accusing me OF a dirty trick
like that?" he demanded hotly.
I'm not accusing you of anything" Ted
replied I'm simply telling you what hap
pened. and asking you what you have to say
about it,
By this time the other Marshall players
were gathering around Ted in an angry. omi-
nous group But at that moment Coach
Powell strobe into the room and grasped Ted
by the arm.
Come along Ted" he said I'VE don't
want to have any trouble. You're not sure
that Tom was deliberately slugged, anyway"
Ted started to protest, then thought better
of it. He turned and walked from the room
with the coach, while an indignant murmur
arose from the Marshall players.
Jack Daniels waiting for them when they
emerged from the Marshall dressing room.
What did that fellow have to say for him.
self?" he asked
He started to get sore when I accused him
indirectly of hitting Tom," Ted informed him.
Jack ShOrted.
Yeah, he would" he said scornfully. MAT
urally he'd deny doing it,"
TED was silent for moment. "The funny
part of it is" he said finally. II believe
him. He seems like nice chap. 1 don't
think he'd do thing like that. It must have
been one of the other Marshall players. AL
most anything could have happened when
those lights were off,
Il think you're making Lot out of nothing
Ted" said Coach Powell, who had already
heard what the janitor had to say about the
lights
THAT switch might have been partly open
already, and the vibration of the players on
the floor above might have knocked it out
And Tom may have really fallen against the
wall without remembering It,"
That was the way the matter rested until
with stories of the game and they made lot
out of the mishap to North's star forward. One
of the reporters had been talking to the janitor,
who still insisted that there had been nobody
in the room to turn off the lights. The re-
porter suggested jokingly that the gymnasium
must be haunted, and soon the matter had
developed into quite q mystery. But Coach
Powell refused to take It seriously, and, al
though he was concerned about the loss Of
Tom, who was confined to his bed most Of the
next week from the effects Of the blow, he went
ahead making preparations for North's next
game, to be played away from home.
