win An Income Tax Amendment Ne
Ratineds

~ H0tlMeOk
Springfield Republican.
In providins that the sixteenth
amendment TO the Federal Constitution
shall be submitted to the Legislatures
OF the States. rather than to state
conventions receiving their mandate
directly from the people. the Senate
resolution makes II possible not mere
iy for twelve Legislatures TO defeat
the amendment, but for the halves OF
twelve Legislatures to defeat It. This
II a point that has not been sumcient-
ly emphasized. Every American Leg
isiature has two branches. coordinate
In action ana equal in power. Each
branch may exercise veto upon the
other. To defeat the income-tax
amendment consequently in any State
II viii be necessary only to defeat 1t
In the upper chamber. which is usual
fy the more conservative body and the
more RESPONSIVE TO the desires and in
terests OF wealth. w
This consideration gives fresh pre-
cision TO the problem OF securing rati-
ficatfon by the necessary number OF
states. II Is manifest that bicamer-
al Legislature, in which small NIL
nority OF the total membership OF both
branches could prevent Affirmative ac-
ton simply, by controlling a small
sized Senate, presents difficulties that
would wholly disappear II the ques-
tfon were submitted to State conven-
tIon: Connecticut has small Senate
twenty-five members; Rhode Islands
Senate has thirty-eight members; New
Hampshire's has but twenty-four.
Thirteen men in New Hampshire can
defeat the income tax amendment,
twenty in Rhode Island and eighteen
In Connecticut. And by what innu-
ences have these bodies usually been
dominated In the past? II is not diff
ficuIt to count up nine other Legis-
iatures whose Senators might easily
decline to take Affirmative action.

Government, the famine problem has
not been eliminated. Gradually, but
very gradually, the caste prejudices
that prevent relief work from reach
ing many Hindus, are being broken
down. The hill country weavers, who
formerly starved rather than eat at a
relief camp, lest partaking of "un-
clean" food. should destroy their
craftsmanship, have been won over.
shy wild tribesmen are learning that
it is better to live upon unorthodox
food than to be dead Hindus.
Native States are conducting vain
able relief measures as q result OF the
example of Europeans, but not until
irrigation/ extends its benefits to a
greater portion of a sun-baksd. defor-
ested and densely populated agricultu-
raj country, or the growth of other
native industries draws a fair proper
ton Of the people from the land, will
famine, and incidental pestilence of a
dozen varieties, cease to make large
periodical reductions of population.
with more physical stamina, the In
dian would less quickly succumb to
hunger or disease, but the race cannot
acquire greater stamina without SUI
f1cient nourishment.
The frequency of famine in India is
due to the immensely OF a population
subsisting almost entirely by agricul-
ture In a country where the tillers of
the soil are too poor to save against
a rainy day, If paradoxical express
sion may be used where saving against
a rainless day is the imperative need.
The question is, how may the Indian
masses become better off financially?
It is a large question, readily enough
