Thirty-one States Could Act.

From time to time various state
legislatures adopt resolutions de-
manding that Congress shall call a
convention to propose amendments
to the Constitution. 1t would require
the calls OF thirty-one states to force
Congress to act. and never in any in
stance have that many states joined
in the movement. Very nearly the
required rIihlDber of states have acted,
however, on proposition TO amend
the constitution SO as to permit of
the election of United States senators
by popular vote.
Several years ago Governor Cum
minis OF Iowa, now senator, called a
convention of ptbblicists, which was
held in Des, MONIES, for the purpose
of directing public attention to the
popular election of senators and the
formation OF a central organization
to push the movement AS a result
nearly thirty states have passed the
necessary resolutions. 1t is consid-
cred by no means impossible that
by this plan convention will one
day be called.
Congress would determine fine
method of representation at such a
convention, or if il chose to go so
far, IT could determine the actual ap-
portsonment of the various states in
the convention, and in that way could
largely influence the result.
Once called, however, the conven-
ton could be LAW unto itself. 1t
would not be limfted to any one pro-
posed amendment, but it could pro-
pose a complete organization of the
constitution or its adjustment, for
that matter, and it could decide up
on any number Of amendments.
There would still be safeguard
against radical action, however, IN
the fact that the amendments would
not become valid until ratified by
