quired in order to make the action
of the state legislatures binding and
these forms were not regarded In
Kentucky.
The law, as the governor construes
II. is that the governor OF a state
must transmit to the legislature OF
that state the official copy of the joint
resolution of congress authorizing a
vote on the constitutional amend
ment and then the legislature can
approve or disapprove the amend
ment proposed. Governor Wilson
takes the position that the first reso-
luton offered, adopting the constitu-
tional amendment, was not properly
drawn and should have followed the
exact wording laid down by the reso-
luton of congress. Failing TO do
this, he holds that the action already
taken, even though taken twice, IN
dorsing the income tax, Is void and
another resolution must be passed to
put Kentucky in line for the consti-
ltutional amendment.
The governor transmitted to the
Legislature the official copy Of the
resolution of congress, as Is required
by law and action can now be taken
accepting or rejecting the constitu.
