N federal power. Experience has
shown that the people will not amend
the federal constitution. Four hun
drcd and thirty-tive attempted amend

few adopted none of them adds any
new powers to the national legislature.
Thus the states alone may be relied
on to do the work. But the states
acting separately fall short and pro-
duce confusion. They must act in har-

What House of Governors Might Do.
Another important function that
could be performed by the new body
would be the initiation of constitutions

self provides for two methods for its
own amendment. one originating III
congress, the other in the states. AS
4 matter Of fact. the only amendments
that have been adopted were those
originating in congress. The house OF
governors might become an avenue
through which to start them In the
states.
Mr.. Jordan has coined word to
describe questions that belong in the
domain between the federal power
and that of the individual state. He
calls it "omni-statial." The distinction
between legislation recommended by
the house Of governors and that enact
ed by congress he defines rather hap

the white slave traffic. Now. every
decent man believes there should be
such legislation. but Mr.. Jordan con-
tends that it should be enacted by the
states and not by congress. The clause
under which most of the federal usur-
laticn has been justified is that giving
congress power 70 regulate commerce
