lasted between eight and ten seconds.
1t is said that this quake was of great

that Alabama's is the twenty-eighth.
If this. is correct-that is, if twenty
eight formal demands of this nature
have been made-only three more will
be necessary in order to compel con-

The best opinion is to the effect that

duty Of congress is calling the con-

A SEVENTEENTH AMENDMENT.

The income tax amendment, if rati-
fled by the necessary number of state
legislatures, will be the sixteenth
amendment to the federal constitution.
1t had seemed for a long time as
though an amendment establishing d.
rect election of senators by the people
would hold that place, but now it may
be predicted by a fair degree of probn-
bility that such an amendment will
be a candidate for the seventeenth
place.
While 1t is hard to get concerted ac-
ton on a large scale for this amend
ment, and while congress will never
itself take the initiative, nevertheless
progress is being quietly made which
in the end seems bound to bring the
issue up for action. The latest step
has been taken by the Alabama state
legislature, which has just made the
necessary demand for a constitutional
convention, with only one member of
the senate and one member OF. the low
er house voting In the negative. Be-
cause of the various forms in which
such demand are phrased, some CON
stitutional In their effect, others mere
