It probably will be another four yars before the “lame - duck" ememdment becomes effective, but the Democrats now aspire to achieve some of its practical pur- poses right after the 1932 elec- tions. For the Congressional returns this year will not merely decide who is to control capitol hill after next March. They will determine also whether Republican domin- ance in the present Sepate is to continue or whether the Demo- crats are to have majorities in both branches immediately the De- cember session begins. UP TO TWO STATES The voters of New Jersey and Colorado, where special Senator- ial elections are to be held, will enswer this particular question. The Senators elected in those two States will take office immediate-~ 1y, filling places from which Re- publicans have been removed hy death. If the Democrats win both seats, they will have a Senate majority to match their domin- ance in the House. Several House vidcancies also are to be filled at the November election, but their number is too a Democratic upset DEATHS HIT G. O. P. The circumstance making poli- tical turn-over of the Senate a possibility in the midst of a Con- gressional tenure have few paral- lels in history. The Republicans organized tha: branch of Congress last Fall with the narrowes! of majorities. The death of Senator Dwight W. Morrow of New Jersey was fol- lowed by the appointment of an- other Republican, Senator W. W. Barbour, to serve only until a suc- cessor was elected.

In' the most recent State elections, they, both returned heavy Democratic majorities. 1 Farmer- A NOVEL SITUATION One possibility is that the Dem- ocrats may find themselves with o clear Senate majority in De- cember, but still decide not to take actual control. Should the Republicans capture‘ the new Congress, for instance,| the Democratic managers might see = little point in assuming Senate control and responsibility just for the period from December until March. With the majoflty, of course, they could take over such control &t any time they wanted it. Theo- retically the present Republican-| | dominated committees have been appointed for the duration of the Congress, or until March, but a 'motion to re-organize is always! in order. The spectacle of a Democratic |Senate with Republicans in all| {the responsible positions would b2 & novelty, but it might work about as well as the present system, [for neither, party has demonstrat- ed an ability to hold its lines on legislation, and cliques and bloc rather than parties are the con- ,trolling elements. WOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT A Democratic sweep in Novem- ber, however, would enable the| ‘party to put into practice on cap- |itol hill in December the central| principle of the ‘“lame duck" amendment, under which defeated| parties are to pass at once out of | power. In other words, if Gov. Franklin 'D. Roosevelt were elected and a ! Democratic Congress insured after March the party leaders could start their legislative program without waiting for inauguration ,day. | “President Hoover still would have the veto, but it is doubtful how liberally he would use it under the circumstances.

Guards of State Highway Police are on duty to prevent a repeti- tion of violence following clashes Federal Buildings Not on Approved. List There's been a mixup somewhere over the status of the Federal buiiding projects at Anchorage and Ketehikan, according to Gov. George A. Parks. Neither of these two buildings have been placed on the approved list of public build- ing construction and, therefore, there isn't any possibility of any ir‘mediate construction work being started. This fact was revealed in a tele- gram received this week by N. Lester Troast, Indian Service Ar- chitect, from the office of the| partment. Sometime ago, Postmaster C. M. Parkins, of Seattle, announced the Ketchikan and Anohoarge buildings were among & number slated for early consti and that bids wolild be ad for in a short time. It was also said that local architects would be ut- ilized in the drafting of plans and preparation of specifications. Mr. | Troast wired t0 the Supervising | Architect to find out if he was to participate in this arrange- ment as to the two projects in Alaska. He was informed by that of- fice that neither was on the list of projects approved for construc- tion. Until they have been ap- proved no funds will be available for work on them. .
