United States Senator
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Sen-
ate Judiciary Committee, by a vote
of 10-3, has approved and reported
to the Senate, our constitutional
amendment which would change
the present electoral college method
Of selecting the President and Vice.
President. Now called the Daniel-
Walter Amendment—this proposal
is better known as the former Gos-
seu-Lodge, Amendment, and is
worded exactly as the Gossett-Lodge
Amendment passed the Senate in
I960.
This year the amendment was
introdluced in the Senate by tihe
writer and in the House, by Con-
gressman Francis Walter of Penn-
eylvania. Its support in the Senate
is indicated by the co-signers of the
resolution who includes Sen. Byrd
of Virginia, Humphrey of Minne-
sota, McClellan of Arkansas, Wiley
of Wisconsin, Dlrksen of Illinois.
Kefauver and Gore of Tennessee,
Jenner of Indiana, Ives of N e w
York, Anderson and Chavez of New
Mexico, Neely of West Virginia,
Murray and Mansfield of Montana,
Sparkman and Hill of Alabama,
Stennis of Mississippi, Williams of
Delaware, and Neuberger of Ore-
Thursday Evening, June ?, 1955— THE PALMER
gon.
The list of co-sponsors iTvrhrify
Democrats and Republicans. Lib-
erals and Conservatives. The
amendment received the necessary
two-thirds vote in the Senate in
1950—but was defeated In the
House. Congressman Ed Gossett of
Texas has long been a chief pro-
ponent of this constitutional change
and it is hoped that the Senate will
repeat its action this year and that
the House will look with more favor
on the proposal this time.
ABOLISH ELECTORAL COLLEGE
The amendment would abolish the
archaic and outmoded electoral col-
lege. Each state’s total electoral vote
toward the selection of a President
would remain the same but it would
be counted without intervention of
'‘dummy” electors, and it would be
credited to the candidates for Pres-
ident and Vice President in pro-
portion to the direct popular vote
cast in each state. In other words
if a candidate receives three-fourths
the popular vote in a state — he
would receive three-fourths of the
electoral vote of that state instead
of the entire electoral vote as under
the present system.
Under the present system the
candidates who receives only one-
vote majority in Ne,w York would
receive the entire 45 electoral votes
of that state. Under our proposed
amendment these 45 electoral votes
would be divided in accordance with
the popular vote—each candidate
leceivlng approximately one.-half of
the 45 electoral votes. The votes
would be counted as they are cast.
Bach voter would have his vote re-
flected in the final electoral vote of
Ahe state.
So long as the present electoral
college method exists, each politi-
cal party will continue to concen-
trate its campaign in the heavily
populated states of the North and
East. Each party will continue to
out-promise the other In appealing
to minority and pressure groups
which might hold the balance nec-
essary to win the majority popular
vote and therefore the entire, elec-
toral vote in the pivotal states. I f
the prcgjosstf change is made—a
vote in Texas will be worth as
much as a vote in New York—and
the same Will be true of individual
votes in every state. Presidential
candidates would campaign in the
South and West in the future in-
stead of concentrating most of their
efforts in the densely populated
states.

Steam Locomotive
'Funeral' Premature
Coal Men Argue
Washington, I). C. (UP). — The
Interstate Commerce Commission is
ready to bury the trusty old railroad
loeomittve.
But friends of the alleged de-
ceased are protesting that the
funeral is premature. They seem to
think it's loco to belie,ve the coal
steam locomotive is outdated.
What's more, they're threatening
to talk tlie roof off Congress unless
tlu*, Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion changes its plans for special
ceremonies today. Chairman Rich-
ard Mitchell of the ICC’ scheduled
tile ceremonies to dedicate a monu-
ment. The inscription reads—“In
memory of the steam locomotive
that served so long and well.’’
Coal men and coal state members
of Congress say the steam locomo-
tive is far from dead — as far as
railroading is concerned. They say
the ICC ceremonies today is an “un-
pardonable affront, to the great co..l
industry."

Saluates Ennis With Gusto
To The News;
It is a great pleasure for one to
note the splendid advances and civic
improvement of our line, sister city
of Ennis—as reflected In the fine
address given thp Waxahachie Op-
timist Club Friday, by Hon Jack
McKay, mayor and guest of Coun-
ty Judge Milton Hartsfield.
In discussing problems which do
beset county aud municipal govern-
ments. he took occasion to outline
some of lire major improvements
which Ennis had gained in the past
few years. Among others, lie called
attention, to splendid a $32,090 .swim-
ming pool paid lor In two years; in
the community center rising at a
cost of some $90,000 capable of seat-
ing more than 1,000; of the new
four-lane improvement of US 75
through the city at a cost of some
$125,000 all paid; of the new wing
for Ennis Municipal Hospital to
cost some $60,000; anti many minor
betterments ull, abvdt the city.
To recapitulate, with the new
Southwestern Bell T e l e p li o n e
Building costing •nuihy thousands
dollars, and over all,-that the city
had voted $186000 without any new
taxes, without general increases in
valuation for tax purposes, and that
assessed valuations aru limited to
an average of but 26 per-cent of the
real property values, is noteworthy,
is an epoch, a fruition of dreams,
and a climax which any city might
emulate, and as ari Interested list-
ener, may I hasten to congratulate
your city, your mayor, your several
municipal officials and agencies, a
real group of dmunajw, of planners
of builders. We salute, Ennis with
gusto! * ,
