Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON A New Amendment In the press of other news coming out of Washington, the introduction by Senator George W. Norris of a new proposal to amend the constitution failed to attract much attention. His suggestion is that the states vote di- rectly on presidential candidates with each state to have as many presiden- tial votes as it has members of con- gress. Instead of the candidate re- ceiving the largest number of votes receiving all of the electoral counters, however, he would get only the pro- Portion that his majority formed of the popular vote. All candidates ‘would receive proportional presiden- tial votes unless they polled less than one per cent of the total. Congress would count and certify these votes and would decide in the event of a tie, the two high men be- ing eligible. In breaking the tie, however, each state would have only one vote. Vice presidents would be elected in the same way, except that the sen- ate would break any ties. Although details of the plan are subject to study, the general idea seems to be a good one. It gets away from the antiquated fiction of an electoral college and offers incentive to political parties to form strong organizations in states in which they do not expect to win a majority. In addition, it gives members of minor- ity parties representation equal to their number in contrast with the Present system which is “all or noth- It is easily conceivable that many an election, under the Norris system, ‘would be decided by the fractional votes accorded candidates who failed to win a majority in a given state. In order to win, a candidate would have to run pretty well everywhere instead of concentrating his efforts on carrying a few populous states with big electoral votes. ‘The suggestion that each state have only one vote in the event of a tie seems a little unfair. It benefits states with small populations such as our own but penalizes the more thick- dy settled commonwealths by depriv- ing them of a proportional voice. It is doubtful if Senator Norris will live to see his amendment adopt- ed. Getting it submitted to the states is alone a long and tortuous process. It required 10 years to obtain such action in the case of the “lame duck” amendment. That some such change would make the business of govern- ment more direct and more respon- sive to the will of the people, however, 4s an asset which may bring it even- tual success. An Encouraging Turn ‘The latest report of Dun and Brad- street shows that 40 different com- modities advanced in price last week while 19 were reduced. During the same week @ year ago 13 showed ad- ‘vances and 31 declined. ‘This upward trend of commodity prices has continued for several weeks now and if the tendency is carried forward for a short time longer the effect on American business will be both immediate and important, for one of the worst things we have had to contend with during the last few years is falling prices. If it appeared that an article which cost $5 today would sell for $4.50 to- for low prices, regardless of the fact But now that the turn has come in the price trend the effect will be just As a result, we have all sorts of persons claiming to be progressive and seeking public support on that basis, ‘as well to note the dictionary defini- tion of progressive to see what the word means. When we do s0 we find Progress; one who promotes reforms or changes.” ‘This broad basis doesn’t differen- tiate very much between the man who would progress up a blind alley or into a swamp, and a man who would travel a more difficult pathway to a happier and better land. It makes no distinction between the man whose ideas are based on common sense and the man who is only a step removed from the insane asylum. It takes in the man with a private axe to grind as well as the one who seeks nothing but the com- mon good. On this basis we shall have to stop the practice of accepting all who claim to be progressive as among the anointed. We shall have to resort to the old and time-tried rule of gaug- ing men by what they do and say rather than by the labels they attach to themselves. The friends of true progress shall have to learn the fine art of discrim- ination. There are goats as well as sheep among those enlisted under the progressive banner. Not A Big Market Farmers who look hopefully toward the breweries as an outlet for barley should survey the market and their situation carefully before entertaining bright hopes, according to a recent bulletin of the federal department of agriculture. The reason is that only a little of the barley produced is suitable for malting.
