NOTE—TAis is the fourth of a geries of articies on proposals 1o amend the Consticu- tion of the United Niates afiecting the terms af Congress, (he' President and Vice Pr dent. “The ffth ariicle will appear in The Star’ tomorrow. BY WILL P. KENNEDY. There is now really one and only one pending vroposition before the House for.amending the Constitution of the United States—the joint resolu- tion of the House, known as the White amendment, the provisions of which were set forth in detall in the first article in this series printed in The Sunday Star, and which the House | committee recommended be substi- tuted for the Senate joint resolution, known as the Norris amendment. There are three points of slight dif- ference: (1) The House fixes specific dates for the commencement of the terms of Senators and Representatives and for the meeting of Congress (Jan- uary 4 instead of the third Monday in January); (2) The effective date Is changed from October 15 to Novem- ber 30, after ratification; and (3) The for the ca dent-elect and the Vice President- elect. These changes, if agreed to by the House, in all probability would be ac- cepted by the Senate, as they do not constitute any serious differences be- tween the proposers of the two joint resolutions as indicated in the hear- ings before referred to. Greater Defects Possible. The crux of this matter, as before stated, aside from other considera- tions, from the viewpoint of its pro- ponents, lies in the purpose to abolish the short session of Congress and to provide for the meeting of a new Con- gress soon after its election. If it be conceded that the present system un- der which we have operated for 137 years has its defects, and unquestion- ably it has some, it would be experi- mental at best to establish in its place another system which might develop other and graver imperfections. If the short session has its evils they are not unmixed with good. Thomas B. Reed had this to say about it: “'A short session is crowded with business to- ward the end, not on account of its brief duration, but on account of its having a fixed terminus. Wherever vou put that terminus, there business will be crowded—I do not care whether it is on the 30th of April or the 30th of Aug The fact fs that the short session is a business session; it is one in which a great deal of business is transacted; and that happens because everybody knows that the time is lim- ited, and everybody sets to work. At & short session we do not dawdle away three months in the way we have been doing this session, because there are no three months to be wasted.” Short sessions are utilized for the dispatch of business to a greater ex- tent now than in Mr. Reed's day Committees, already formed, go to work in the Fall, and much business is transacted in December and lh‘ Christmas recess is abridged. Claim Grossly Exaggerated. The extent to which members not re-elected participate in legislation in & short session following an election has been grossly exaggerated. To such the approbrious appellation of "lame ducks” is not in every instance applicable or accurate. For it hap- pens always that a fair percentage of members who are not returned were not candidates at the election, hav- ing withdrawn voluntarily before the holding of primaries. Of them, and of practically all other members who retire voluntarily : and otherwise, it can be said that| in a short session, conscious of their early retirement, such members are apt to act with a greater degree of courage and independence than they might otherwise have acted. Further- more, the total number of changes in the entire House of the Sixty-ninth Congress from the personnel of the preceding Congress was only 17 per cent of its membership. The political turnover was 14 per cent in the Sixty- seventh Congress, 18 per cent in the Sixty-eighth Congress and 5 per cent in the Sixty-ninth Congress, making an average of 12 per cent. In all three of these Congresses one party main- talned control of the House. In the face of these facts and figures it is ridiculous and untenable to tlaim that members of one Con- gress not re-elected to a succeeding Congress exercise an undue influence upon legislation in the short session, and it is, unjust to place by far the greater number of them in the extremely small class of those who may be seiected for other service Fourteenth Street at New York Avenue N N 7BORSALINO HATS Styled for .

The “lame duck” cry, therefore, as a reason for tinkering with the Constitution, when analyzed, s found to be as false as it is disingenuous and misleading. Uniform Election Day in 1876, Election day throughout the United S:ates for the election of Representa- tives (and now also for Senators) was not made uniform until 1876, and eve nthereafter certain States such as Oregon, Maine and Vermont held their elections earlier than the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November—Oregon as early as Jjune. When the Constitution makers fixed the first Monday in December as the day upon which Congress should assemble at least once in each year, they did not know that elections gen- erally would be held in November. So it does not follow by any means that Congress would have met soon after the election of members. Each State fixes its own day, and when a uniform day was established the law was afterward modified so as not to apply to any State that had not changed its day of election or whose Constitution required amending in order to effect the change. Maine still holds its congressional election in September. Thus it could not have been the pur- pose in fixing the first Monday in De- cember for the annual meeting of Con- gress that the founding fathers had in mind, primarily, the rapld translation into action of the ‘“people’s will,”” as expressed at the preceding election. It happens now and then that the result of an election is negative rather than positive; that it registers dlsap- proval on the one hand with the party in power, but does not at the same time carry with it an affirmative ex- pression of desire which could be translated into concrete legislation. The disapproval of anadministration’s forelgn policy may be registered, which might only be followed by a policy of inaction; it would certainly not call for legislative action. Therefore, it does not necessarily follow that public policies are quickly to be changed, it at all, by an elec- tion, especlally one when the only change, as we have noted, occurs in personnel and not in party or political policy. In any event it has been found not to be disadvantageous to the country, if it has not been positively ad- vantageous, to have an intervening or transition period between election day, after the heat and passion of a campaign, before the meeting of & new Congress, in which calmly to reflect and prepare; and if there seems to be need for more expeditious action than is naturally afforded, recourse may be had to an early session of the new Congress, either by statutory law or by Executive,proclamation. Amendment Substitute Offered. Senator King ot Utah, who opposed the Norrls amendment in the Sixty- €ighth Congress, introduced a bill for the holding of the first annual sesslon of each Congress on April 8, following an_election, the second session to be held on January 2 next following, and the third annual session of each aliter- nate Congress on January 2 next fol- lowing a presidential election, which he sald he offered for the purpose of avoiding, it possible, & constitutional amendment. In support of his proposition Sen- tor King sald: “There are many rea- sons, it seems to me, why the meet- ing of Congress immediately after an election, after we have just gone through the heat of the campalgn, is not so important. I do not quite know whether the advantage to be ;| galned by compulsory earlier meet- ings is more important that the di advantage, but if ft is an advantage, we can cure fit, I think, by statute We can umend the present law and provide that Congress may meet at an earlier date. It seems to me thkat we are tinkering too much with the Constitution. I feel that any amend- ment to the Constitution ought to be scrutinized with great eare and not be adopted unless the wisdom of it is so appealing and compelling that there are no arguments of any merit against it." Up to and including May 20, 1820, 18 acts were passed providing for the meeting of Congress on days In the vear other than on the first Monday in December. are made that way. ner that gently raises the new models.
