Charter Plan
Told Kiwaniis

Presenting the proposed charter
amendment forWayne County, Mrs.
Ruth Whipple, member of the city
commission at Plymouth for the
past IL years, was guest speaker
at the Kiwanis luncheon Wednes-
day in Hotel Huron.
Pointing out that four tests can
be applied to any form of govern.
ment, including honesty, economy,
kind of service rendered to the peo-
pie, and improvements, Mrs. Whip.
pie challenged any proof at the
present time of dishonesty in the
Wayne County form Z government.
According to Mrs. Whipple, the
Wayne County government is eco
nomical because the tax rate in
the last 90 years has decreased
from s5.45 to $500 per thousand.
She considers this decrease a good
record because Of the rapid growth
of the county.
Wayne County has liquidated
ten 'illion dollar depression debt,
all callable bonds. she pointed out.
The speaker stressed the fact that
Wayne County has the fourth larg-
est park system in the United
States and has formed a new coun.
ty board OF health. new library
board, and new board for institu.
tons.
She stated that the proposed
charter amendment does not repre-
sent home rule. The proposed
change would have to be present
ed to the vote OF the entire state
and this method is not home rule,
she averred.
The proposed amendment advo-
Gates the abolition OF all county
boards, and according to Mrs. Whip.
pie, intends to bring all counties
in the state under the law IL 1t is
successful in Wayne County.

could go 100 per cent Republican and still it wouldn't make any difference because their delega- are already mostly Republican. New York, on the other hand, is quite delicately balanced, and three states-Washington, West Virginia and Idaho-are tied, so that one change in their delega- tions could throw them to one candidate or the other. The same is true in the four states which have only one representative Delaware, Nevada, Vermont and Wyoming.
 If the electors fail to name a Vice President, the Constitution says one shall be named by the Senate. Here the issue is a little clearer. Each senator has a vote. The expectation is that the Sen ate will be little changed in No vembr, and the Democrats con- trol it now.

that case, the Constitution pro- vides that the President be chosen by the House.
 November House Election
 New House members will be chosen in November, at the same time as elctors. If every member had vote, then it would be fair ly easy to tell how the vote for President would go if it were thrown into the House.
 But it isn't done that way. The Constitution says that each states House delegation shall have one vote. This means that the group having the greatest strength in each delegation - Republican, Democrat or anti-Roosevelt--will swing that delegations vote.
 There's no telling for sure what the complexion of the House will be after November. Even if the Republicans win control, if might not matter in a House vote for President.

WHAT IT MEANS
 -. Revolt Against FDR
By HERMAN R. ALLEN

WASHINGTON - An anti Roosevelt movement in the Demo- cratic party could result-and en- tirely constitutionally-in election of the next President by the House of Representatives.
 This would be possible because of the antiquated system of electors, which in modern times has amounted to only techni- ca1ity. You will recall that voters don't vote for President Cor Vice President directly. They vote for electors, who in turn choose these two officials. Electors are assumed to be committed to vote for a certain candidate, and vote for them is regarded as the same as a vote for the candidate him self.
 SRoAASo 0SAAAA~Ae@SAS
 The anti-administration move ment is spared by certain South erners. They voice the fear that the platform adopted by the Democratic convention will not meet their demands as regards the poll tax, racial equality and similar matters.
 If they don't like the platform, these Democrats propose to name electors who will vote for third candidate, rather than for Presi- dent Roosevelt for fourth term.
 The South of course is heavily Democratic, but if anti-F. D. R. strategy is carried through, Dem- ocrats in some southern states may have to vote against Roose- welt, even though they are for him. The convention has nothing to say about how electors are chosen. That's up to state legis- latures, some of which admins tration opponents may be able to control.
 The result might be to split the electoral vote three ways so that neither the Republican candidate nor the regular Democratic candidate gets more than half. In
