Tha objection of President Holdtn
to the Commerce commission' tenta

siheme la baaed upon tha aaaumption
that tha genera trend of commerce Is
ast and west. According to the
Burlington president, tha commerce
between north and eouth ! develop

by Mr. Hill. Ha criticised the com
mission's plan on tha ground, also,
that it based traffic on Chicago, tend
ing to destroy the gateways of traf
fic at Kansas City, tit. Louis and
Omaha.
The commission's plan in consoll
dating the roads Is to preserve, so far
is possible., existing competitive line.
President Holden claimed' tie Bur
lington and tha Northwestern lines
are not competitive with the Ht. Paul,
the Hoo line, the Northwestern and
the Union I'aclfio systems.
Invested In Illinois.
The Burlington, Mr. Holden said,
had Invested largely In southern I 111'
uois in order to estaMlsh a low grade
road for the transportation of coal to
the Twin Cities and points beyond,
while it had extended its lines from
Killings, Mont., through the center
of Wyoming to handle the growing in
terchange of commerce and passen
ger furnished by the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific at that pulnt.
The Colorado 4 Boulhern line from
VVcndover, Wyo., to Denver is now
part of the Burlington system be

resident Holden suid tliat the turn-,

Harding to Make
Final Decision
on Packer Merger
President Not Expected to Ob
ject to Proposed ConoJida.
tiou of Armour and Mop
ris Companies.
Washinaton. Nov. 17. President
Harding will make the final decision
for tha Bovernment on the proposal
that Armour it Co. purchase Morria
Co., another of the I'big five pack
ers, it waa indicated in liluh adminis
tration circles. The president already
has discussed tha matter wlin J. ug
den Armour and will go over it in
detail with Hecrelary Wallace as soon
as the experts of the Department of
Agriculture have completed their
study of the plan.
The executive was represented as
being of the opinion that there would
ha tin oblectlon at law to the pro
posed consolidation, in view of the
strict government regulations of the
fiacklne Industry, provided for In the
packers and stockyard control act.
It was emphasized, however, that he
was keeping an open mind until all
the facts bearing on the situation nad
been presented.
Secretary Wallace said there would
bo no definite decision for several
days. Among mutters under consid
eration by the government, It was
understood, was the probable effect
of the projected merger upon the sub
sidiary corporations of the two prln
ciital companies.
In outlining to the president the
situation which Armour & Co. believ
ed nmdM desirable and necesxa ry the
consolidation of that company and
Morris & Co., Mr, Armour was Under
stood to have emphasized that the
packing Industry was particularly
bard hit by the rcent general busl
nets depression. His opinion was
that unless there wire merger with
in the Industry, s.tm of Ihs pucker
would bs unable to get nbtiig.

tiou of Klertoral College
by Constitutional Amend
meiit in Next Congress,
Each State to Be Unit
. By ;koi;k v. m tiiikk,
M Mlilnjlos inrroiM.nil. nt l b. Omsha lie.
Washington, Nov, 1 7.Kpecla I Tel
egram, r Abolition of h electoral
college will be stronxly urged by Hen-
lor Norris who tithe. Hlxly-cfchth
congress comes Into existence. This
would permit the direct selection of
president and vice president by pop
ular vole, In eliminating the elec
toral college, each state would be con.
sldered as a unit, thus avoiding the
danger of heavy majorities in one
section of the country offsetting those
in another portion.
A constitutional 'arueri'uncnt to ac
complish this result Was proposed by
Senator Norris, January 4 of this
year. He says it would be futile to
press It for adoption during the corn-
lug extraordinary or short session.
With a new congress, ha will seek to
obtain favoroble action for this sug
gestion.
The electoral college must be abol
ished, said Menator Norris this after
noon, before a third party can be or
ganized and made effective or an
Independent candidate will have any
chance of being elected president.
Would Cost Million.
"It would cost millions of dollar
uri'l require an organization in every
congressional district before a third
party could be placed on a working
basis," said Senator Norris. "Elim
ination of tha electoral college would
enable any man to run for president
without a cent of money."
The belief was expressed by Mr.
Norri that Borah, Johnson or la
Folfctte would receive heavy vole in
a popular election. He predicted that
Borah would be .elected. With the
same candidate named by the lead
ing parties two year ago, Norrl
aald, Johnson would have won, run
ning as an independent candidate.
"It I Impossible now," said Nor
ris, "for the people to vote for tho
candidate of on party for president
and that of another for vice presi
dent. In fact, the people vote for
men and not for ftarty."
Counted Before Congress.
The Norris constitutional amend
ment merely eliminates tha electoral
college and provide for a direct vol
(if the people, leaving each state the
representation now accredited to it.
Election result would b certlfed to
the president of the senate and the
return counted before a Joint ses
sion of the two houses. Electors, a
at present, would not go on tha bal
lot, A simple plurality would be suf
ficient to carry a state.
"I think a nonpartisan party would
ba best," said Bcnator Norris, when
asked about the alleged incipient
third party movement. "The people
then could vote for policies and legis
lation and not the men. It is diffi
cult to establish a new party under
existing conditions. The expense of
organization makes the undertaking a
formidable one. The abolition of the
electoral college is the most Impor
tant step in bettering political con
ditions." It 1 believed Senator Norri will
have quite a following in his crusade
for elimination of the electoral
college and the creation of a
situation where an independent candi
date may run for president, or the
people may choose the vice president
irom a dirrerent organization. ' ftrence until De--emb.( 4 at the sug-

Chinese Bandits
Kidnap Lutheran
Mission Worker
Outlaw Bands Dominate- the
Province of Ilonan Doz
en Towns Are Sacked
and Burned.
Pekin, Nov. 17. By A. P.V-Ceorge
Olaf Holm, an American member of
the, Lutheran mission, has been kid
naped by bandit in Ilonan province.
The powerful bandit army I growing
bdder. It apparently dominates the
entire province of Honan. A dozen
town have been sacked and burned
and their inhabitant forced to flee.
Upwards of 300 American in the
danger zone ore greatly alarmed, ac
cording to the American consul at
Hankow. 1
Mr. Holm Is the third American mis
sionary to be carried off by the Honan
bandits, who also are holding Anton
Lundeen and Kiner BorgBreen, to
gether with the latter's 8-year-old son.
Holm was born In Norway, but is
a naturalized American citizen. His
nearest relative lives at Mioreton,
N. D.
A body of armed bandits entered
the Holm residence at ('hen Yank,
seized the missionary in the presence
of his wife and two sons and marched
him off Into the country.
Ko far as is known here, all the
kidnaped missionaries are rafe and
unharmed and are permitted to com
municate, with their families.
Reports from Hunan Indicate that
the bandit activities are becoming
more serious, with the outluws ap
parently In full control of the prov
ince, and a dozen towns In ashes In
(lie wake of their march.
l-'oreliinei s In the unprotected com
munities have liet-n advised by their
consuls to flee to Hankow and scored

Harding Stand on
Liquor Unchanged
President Merely Noted Some
Aspects of Question in
Recent Letters.
Washingtxm, Nov, 17. President
Harding hag had no change of mind
on the subject ct prohibition, it was
said at the White House today. Tho
statement wa mails in resiionse to re
quesls for an elaboration of the view
of the executive as reported to have
been set forth recently in letter to
Mrs. Corine Roosevelt Itoblnnon of
New York, and E. C. Stokes, republi
can state chairman of New Jersey.
The president, in writing to Mrs.
Robinson and Mr. Stokes, it was in
dicated, had not endeavored to pre
sent comprehensively his view on the
prohibition question, but had merely
taken note of some of the aspects of
the question recently brought to his
attention, The letters, It was avert
ed, would not be made public from the
White House,
The White House spokesman said
the question of taking prohibition out
of politics had been brought up In
some of the correspondence, but . it
was asserted that one' of the moat
abiding conviction which Mr. Hard
ing had formed from his 25 years of
public life was that prohibition never
would be divorced from politics so
long as it remained a mutter on which
opinions differed.

on Ship Subsidy

Republican Leaders Agree to
Open Door for Unlimited
Amendments Fight
Predicted in Senate.
Washington. Nov. 17. Plans for
piloting the ship subsidy bill through
congress got under way today, with
an agreement by republican leaders
to open the door to unlimited amend
ment of the measure on tha floor of
the house, but with the stipulation
that a final vote shall be had Novem
ber 29.
At the same time Chairman Lasker
of the shipping board predicted that it
would lie enacted Into law because the
"n)lracle of America is that at the
final moment of decision right and
common sense will prevail."
The agreement for a vote In the
bouse was reached at a conference
attended by Speaker Gillette, Repre
sentative Mondell, republican floor
leader; Chairman Campbell of the
rules committee and members cf the
merchant marine and of the steering
committees. Chairman Campbtll sug
gested, and the other leaders present
agreed, that a rule should be pre
sented under which the bill would lie
taken up for general debate next
Thursday. Three full days would bo
given over to general discussion and
then the measure would be taken up.
Item by item, with three days for
amendment before a final vote.
Notwithstanding sign of an Im
pending fight in the house, the senate
is regnrdud by advocate of tho meas
ure as the most dangerous point. N
rule limiting debate la iKissible there,
and a iiunilH-r of republican leaders
have exprt-ed doubt whither the leg
islation can be diepoKtil of by March
J. when all bill die with the end of
the cttnureps.
