PROPOSED AMENDMENT

The Lodge Gossett amendment to the
Constitution, sometimes described as
new method of. electing President, but
more accurately described as better
method of counting the votes Of the peo-
pie, has been passed by the Senate ana
awaits action by the House and forty-eight
State Legislatures before becoming part
Of the Constitution.
The purpose Of the amendment IS 70
divide the electoral vote from IN ae=
cordance with the popular vote received
BY the Presidential candidates, Under
present procedure, the candidate who
wins state receives all Of the electoral
votes. The amendment would provide that
the votes Of each state in the electoral col
lege would be divided among the candi-
dates on the basis Of their popular vote.
Let's see how this change would work:
In Ohio, in the 1913 Presidential election,
President Truman received 1,452,791 votes
and Governor Dewey 1,445,684. Under
the present procedure, Mr.. Truman re-
clever the twenty-five electoral votes of
Ohio. Under the new procedure, the votes
would be practically evenly divided be-
tween the candidates.
In New York State, the situation was
reversed Mr.. Truman received .2,780,204
and Governor Dewey, 2,841,I63. Covers
nor Dewey received the forty-seven elect
toral votes of New York. Underothe new
program, these would be practically even
iy divided between the candidates, a
The proposed amendment, it seems to
US would be more equitable method of
selecting the Chief Executive of the Unit
ed States. 1t might cut down the voting
power of various minority groups in GER
tain states, because neither Of the political
parties would have to go about in an eff
fort to secure the favorable reaction of a
small minority in order to get their votes.
Under the new plan, dividing the electoral
college vote, on the basis Of the popular
vote, minority group would not be able
to swing the balance between the major
parties.

ABOUT ALL THAT MAN KNOWS

When human beings get the idea that
the men and women Of today know too
much, it might be a good idea to ask some
body to explain the tremendous explosions
in the atmosphere of the sun.
Dr. Donald H. Mcneil, solar expert of
the Harvard Observatory, says that these
explosions make any super-bomb look like
a mild fire-cracker.
Just what goes on in and about the
sun remains mystery to cur greatest
scientists. When we consider that there
are millions and millions of suns scatter
er throughout the Universe, the import
ance of the occurrence is recognized.
We have vague impression that the
sun spots and solar protuberances do
something about the earth's weather,
but we are not yet positive about what
they do. Nor are we able to explain the
enormous heat of the sun or the explo-
sive prominences that extend for thous-
ands of miles from its surface.
The heat of the sun is SO enormous
that it can travel 93,0O0,000 miles and give
life and heat to the earth, This heat, Of
course, is scientifically knoWnNaa radiant
energy. It does not warm the medium
through which it passes but heats the
object that it strikes.
About all that man knows is that he
receives the life-giving energy of the sun
and, while scientists study its massive
structure, more than one billion times the
volume of the earth, the average man and
woman are not concerned with the prob
lem involved.
