The Sixteenth Amendment.

Alabama. which comes first on the
roll call Of national conventions, is
also first III passing the income tax
amendment to the federal constitution.
If her unanimous approval of the
measure is any criterion the amend
ment is certain to be adopted. An
other favorable omen Is that no change
in the constitution has Y been pro-
posed by congress that was not rati-
fed by the states. The method of
amendment laid down in the consti-
tuition itself requires q two-thirds vote
in both houses Of congress and an If
irmative action by the legislatures of
three-fourths Of the states. In the
case of the income tax the vote in the
two houses of congress was practically
unanimous. An additional good omen
for the success Of the sixteenth amend
meDt to the constitution has been
brought out in a canvass made by one
of the New York newspapers. the re-
plies from governors, chairmen of po-
litical committees Of both parties and
leading editors having been over-
whelmingly in its favor.
1t has been forty years since the
last amendment to the constitution
was proposed and t%hirty-nine years
since its adoption. AS a matter Of
fact there have only been about five
changes in our national charter, the
first ten amendments having been vir-
tually agreed to by the constitutional
convention itself and having been
adopted en- bloc soon after. AS ap-
proximately 100 years have passed
since the instrument went into effect,
it is thus seen how few and slight the
alterations have been. Hardly a great
err example of stability is to be found
in the history of nations. which is all
the more remarkable because Of the
popular character of our Institutions
and the consequent instability that
fact is usually thought to imply.
The right of congress to levy an in
come tax was evoked during the civil
war and was never questioned until
1895, when by q five to four vote It
was declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court. The present proposed
constitutional amendment is the result
of that decision. j. A. EDGERTON.
