AS TO AMENDING THE CON
STTTUTION.

Senator Aldrieh has reported the
joint restitution looking to establishing
the Sixteenth Amendment TO the Con
stitution. It reads:
THAT Congress shall have power TO
lay and collect taxes on incomes. from
whatever source derived, without ap-
portionment among the several States
and without regard TO any census
enumeration"
If passed by a two-thirds majority in
both houses, this viii then be certified
to the governors of the States. with
the notification that by them it shall
be laid before their legislatures for ae-
ton. If it be ratified by three-fourth
of them, the notifications to that eff.
feet viii be conveyed by the States to
the Federal Secretary Of State, and the
amendment viii become effective when
the Secretary of State issues a formal
proclamation declaring that the neees-
Eary number Of Publications has been
received. 1t viii be effective from the
AakC VI tltA5 IdL4AlDdLABl4.
Amending the Constitution Is a new
business for this generation. It is
highly probable that before many dec
AIDES there viii be a convention Of the
States on the subject OF popular cleo
ton of Senators. Almost enough States
have petitioned for such a convention
to require Congress 70 issue the call.
and to pass the necessary legislation
governing the matter. There is no
precedent for such action, and when
ever the necessary number of States
petitions a most interesting question
viii be before Congress.
IF a State once petitions, does that
petition stand and remain in force in
definitely? There is no decision. The
Constitution is vague, but in the nature
of things it seems that this is its in
tention. OF course, it must take a
considerable time to secure such
petitions from two thirds Of the States,
because not ala of them have annual
or even biennial sittings Of their legis-
latures. 1t seems altogether probable,
too, that one legislature in a State
would not be permitted to bind future
legislature. A legislature this year
might pass the resolution, and it would
stand as the expression of that State
indefinitely, unless rescinded by a later
legislature. So far as known, no legis4

II was a lonesome day in the Senate
yesterday for Senator George Peabody
WetmOre of Rhode Island. Wien it
came to voting on the Tillman tea tax
amendment, he had to part company
with Senator Nelson Wilmarth Aidrich
He voted for the amendment, while his
colleague voted against 1t. This is the
hrst time Senator Wetmore has become
an insurgent since the special session
opened Some folks are mean enough

this conelusively.
Bailey's Dissertation On Tea.
A good many people probably sup

Senate to his own satisfaction that
tea is a luxury. He cited his experience

IN Copiah county, 10 back up his con-
tentlon. Il undertake to say" said
Bailey, that II we 90 back to the old

where they lived on the very fat of the

who owned that plantation and lived in
that mansion were as well able to pay
a tax on tea as any other OF my ac-
Quaintance."
Senator Bailey alluded to the "patri-
clans tea" and the ''plebeian's coffee"
and wound up by saying tea, in his
judgment, wasn't a healthy beverage.
